Indoor storage units have lots of benefits when it comes to keeping your items safe and in perfect condition. Many indoor storage facilities regulate temperature and humidity levels, protecting items from extreme weather conditions such as scorching heat or freezing cold. If you have delicate or fragile items, such as books, paperwork, clothing and wooden furniture, indoor storage provides the environment you need. Additionally, indoor storage units typically have advanced security measures, including 24hr CCTV, manned receptions, alarmed units and secure doors and gates. An ideal solution if you’re storing precious and high-value items.

Outdoor storage includes container storage and drive-up units. In either case, they’re often more spacious and have a lower price per square foot compared to indoor units. If you have lots to store, it can be a cost-effective solution, especially if you have items not requiring a climate-controlled environment, like outdoor furniture, gardening equipment, or sports and camping gear. Another key benefit of outdoor storage is accessibility. In many cases, you can easily drive up to your storage unit for loading and unloading, making the process more convenient for bulky items or frequent access.

One of the biggest challenges when moving into a self-storage unit is getting your belongings there, especially if you have heavy or bulky items like furniture. Storage with collection and delivery, or valet storage, is a convenient solution. Rather than renting a van yourself or booking a separate removals service, they’ll provide professional movers to collect your items, take them into secure storage and deliver them back to you when you’re ready, saving you time and effort. Your items are handled by an experienced team and stored in a closed facility with the same advanced security measures you could expect to find elsewhere.
