Storage in Thornaby-on-Tees

Storage is a lifesaver when life gets busy or your home feels too full. The law requires landlords to follow specific rules, so storage helps during house moves or refurbishments.

• Moving house and the dates do not match up
• Renovating rooms to protect your furniture from dust
• Downsizing your home but keeping sentimental items
• Storing business stock to free up office space
• Clearing a room for a new baby or guest
• Keeping garden furniture safe during the winter months

On your first day, you will sign a simple agreement and show your ID. Most places give you a code to enter the building whenever you like.

• Bring a strong padlock or buy one there
• Use the provided trolleys to move heavy boxes
• Stack heavy items at the bottom for stability
• Leave air gaps between walls to prevent damp
• Keep frequent items at the very front
• Double check your lock is secure before leaving

Having a storage unit takes the stress out of home life by clearing the clutter. It protects your expensive furniture from damage while you focus on your move or building work.

• Keeps your valuable items away from building dust
• Reduces the pressure of moving day deadlines
• Creates a tidy home which helps you relax
• Protects fabrics from getting damp or mouldy
• Gives you space to sort items at your pace
• Provides peace of mind with professional security

Picking the right unit depends on what you have and how often you need it. A helpful professional can show you different sizes to make sure you do not pay for space you do not use.

• Ask about CCTV and staff on site
• Check if the unit is climate controlled
• Confirm how often you can visit for free
• Find out about the notice period for leaving
• Ask if they provide 24 hour gate access
• Verify if they have large goods lifts
