How to Securely Store Your Valuables
Before you start storing please read our tips on packing your storage unit. You may find them useful.
Always use a separator when packing plates. Paper and bubble wrap work best.
Use newspapers for cups glasses or any fragile containers to help support them during transportation.
Bubble-wrap any and all highly polished furniture to protect from scratching and denting.
Books should be packed in smaller boxes because of their weight, that way they are easy to carry.
Leave fridges and freezers slightly open once packed inside your storage unit.
Put a plastic liner in boxes with textiles in them, this helps with dust.
Ensure all fabrics are clean and dust-free prior to packing.
Where possible use environmentally friendly insect repellents on fabrics like cedar wood chips.
Let your paintings or framed pictures stand on double layers of bubble plastic or similar to protect your frames from direct contact with the concrete floor.
To be well organized and save your frustrations, please mark your boxes with No’s on two adjacent sides and compile a detailed list of each box content. Ideally, you will store this info on your PC.
Before storing your goods please inspect your unit and report any deficiencies to our Operations Manager who will gladly assist to fix them & keep you happy.
Allow enough space between boxes for good ventilation for ease of access later.
Regularly inspect stored goods for insect activity and or rodents. (We don’t have a problem).
