Why self-storage makes sense for home improvement projects

  • Keeping your furniture and gadgets safe: so they won’t get knocked over, chipped, or damaged.
  • Giving your builders space to work: it’s easy to get on with the job if there’s room to manoeuvre.
  • Having space to live – as you won’t be surrounded by things removed from rooms being worked on.
  • Making decorating easier: no need to keep re-arranging or covering all your belongings.
  • Decluttering: so you can sort through your things and you only move back what works with your new interiors.
  • Being flexible round the builders: if the builders aren’t ready for the new white goods, fitted kitchen or bathroom suite you’ve ordered, you’ve got space to keep them until they are.

Great experience at Hanworth branch being shown around the units by Afonso and talked through the different storage options, pricing structures, security features etc. I dropped in (didn't make an appointment beforehand) and everywhere was immaculate from reception to the storage units I was shown.
