All of your FAQ’s
Can storage help if there are delays between moving dates?
What are the best tips for packing and organising my belongings in storage?
When packing for self storage, use sturdy boxes where possible and clearly label them so you can easily find what you need later. Pack heavier items, such as books, in smaller boxes to keep them easy to lift, and place these at the bottom of stacks with lighter boxes on top. For larger furniture, disassemble it where possible and keep screws and fittings together in labelled bags.
When loading your unit, leave a small walkway through the centre for easy access. Store larger furniture towards the back and around the walls, and keep regularly used items near the front. This will help you make the most of your space while keeping your belongings easy to reach.
If you need extra storage boxes or packing supplies, you’ll find a range available in-store. Just speak to your local team, who’ll be happy to help.
What should I avoid when moving house?
When moving house, try to avoid leaving packing until the last minute, overloading large boxes with heavy items or forgetting to label boxes clearly. At Attic Self Storage, we’re here to make your move a little easier, with advice on choosing the right storage unit and access to helpful services such as man and van hire. If you need a hand moving larger or heavier items, many of our locations are also equipped with forklifts and trolleys to help make the process as smooth as possible.
What should I consider when choosing a storage facility for my move?
When choosing a storage facility for your house move, it’s worth considering a few key things, including:
- Location and convenience
- Access hours and availability
- Security features
- Unit sizes available
- Additional moving services
If you’ll need regular access to your belongings, choose a storage facility that fits around your schedule. Extended access can make life easier if you’re moving at weekends or outside standard hours. Meanwhile, drive-up units can be helpful for bulky furniture or multiple trips. Considering carefully your requirements can help you understand which storage company is right for your house move.
If you require more information about our storage units, you’re always welcome to pop in your nearest store or contact our team online. For more moving tips and advice, take a look at our guide.
