Self Storage, is there an alternative?

Self storage facilities were introduced into the UK several decades ago, and since the first secure storage units became available the industry has not ceased to keep on growing and growing.

Let's face it, with a growing population and average house dimensions gradually getting smaller, the need to find alternative storage has never been as great as it is today.   

When it comes to making the big decisions on what to store at home and what to store elsewhere, there are also several other factors to take into consideration, such as:

• Do I need to hire a van?
• Why are van rental insurance excesses so expensive?
• How am I going to lift that sideboard into the van on my own?
• Where can I find a second person to help me?
• Are my items insured in transit?

Some or all of the above points may apply to you, or there may be other factors that make self storage a daunting prospect, such as an inability to drive, lack of fitness, a physical disability, remote living, a hectic work/life schedule, the list goes on!
