Your children have all moved out, but you’re not ready to part with your family home yet? We can totally understand. Instead of leaving their rooms unused, more and more people choose to turn their spare rooms into a B&B.

Why self-storage can be handy if you want to rent out your room

  • Create space: move stuff that you don’t need on a day-to-day basis into storage to so you can turn your spare room into a desirable AirBNB room.
  • Make your guests feel at home: let the guests feel like they are in their own space by keeping personal belongings in storage.
  • Privacy and freedom: keeping your personal belongings in storage will give you the freedom to pursuit this new venture.

This was the 1st time I’ve had to hire a storage unit and I can highly recommend Shurgard in Hayes on Uxbridge Road. George at the front desk was really pleasant and informative. Just brilliant as I was nervous about what was right for me. If I could have given him more than 5* I would have.

My partner and I recently took out a couple of units and Gary couldn't have given better service. He explained everything in detail without feeling overwhelming and was incredibly amicable and candid. Would 100% recommend Shurgard to friends and family.
