Get Ready To Renovate

If you check most Estate Agent websites you’ll find properties ‘in need of renovation’ are a lot cheaper to buy than shiny brand new builds. Or maybe you’re not looking to move home as much as give the old place you’re already in a bit of a makeover. Either way Attic Self Storage is here […]

Creating Space In Your Place

Overloaded shelves, drawers stuffed full of stuff, A carpet of bills and papers, ornaments covered in fluff Clothing Mountain grows; shoes surround your bed, No way you can relax while the mess consumes your head Let this little rhyme inspire you to slip the marigold gloves on.

No, not another episode of Game of Thrones, rather a Game […]

How Was Your Easter Break?

This blog is late. Choco-late. Easter was smothered in it. The overpowering influence of the sickly gooey brown stuff has swallowed up our children and consumed the nation over the past few days.

April Fools’ Day Alert

OK we admit it. In the past Attic Self Storage has been guilty at this time of year of winding people up with promises of cryogenic freezing facilities, non-existent art shows and other such fantastical nonsense. We apologise. We only did it for a laugh. So what’s the big joke? No one knows for sure […]

The Lasting Appeal of the Cardboard Box

A couple of years ago we wrote a blog about the history of the cardboard box, and it’s still getting hits to this day. We aren’t quite sure why. What’s the hidden attraction of these somewhat unsexy storage items? Who cares about corrugated containers? How come Attic Self Storage is seen as some sort of […]

Half term may have finished, but the horror is far from over for the nation’s parents.

The Carnage After Christmas

Their tattered remains litter our city streets. They lie discarded on the pavements; dumped in the shadow of the wheelie bins; balanced atop piles of black refuse sacks.
