Frequently Asked Questions About Self-Storage

Rose Removals • Nov 01, 2022

Self-storage is hardly a new concept, but popularity is growing as individuals, families and business stakeholders search for effective ways to stash their important belongings. Whether moving home and needing a reliable secure area with an excess of space, or preparing for an office move, this is a tried and tested way of organising possessions.

There is some confusion in regards to how these facilities work, as well as the process of storing and transferring items to and from your assigned unit - so let Rose Removals answer some prominent questions. As dedicated storage experts in the Devon area, we’re delighted to help.

What Can I Store?

Though you can store most common items and utilities within a storage unit, there are of course some exceptions. Food and perishable goods are one big no-no, while of course physical money and cash amounts should not be stored within a unit. Chemicals and flammable materials could pose a risk to staff and other users of the storage facilities too, so steer clear of using a storage unit for these particular goods.

Beside this criteria, use your judgement to decide what is likely appropriate to store - with most furniture, electronics and household goods completely fine to leave securely for a period.

Is Self-Storage Affordable?

Self-storage from Rose Removals will never burn a hole in your pocket, with our team dedicated to an affordable yet efficient service. Commercial container hire, storage ‘to your door’ and traditional on-site storage are all options, and therefore pricing will be tailored to your individual situation and needs. Generally, we can organise Short-term and long-term storage - so give us a call for a specific quote.

Is Assistance Available When I Use Storage Units?

Unloading and safely storing a large number of items may be difficult as a solo job, so we ensure an assigned team will be available to oversee the storage of your valuables, making use of the most effective processes and approved steps. From household items to office goods, moving companies can package and load your valuables into high-security units, allowing you to focus on the important aspects of your relocation or business move.

Are There Any Alternatives?

If you have opted for a property move, change of office premises or even an overseas relocation, you may already have the new building ready and waiting. If this is the case, self-storage may not be for you - and an immediate move may be more desirable.
