The Benefits of Self Storage

The Benefits of Self Storage in Northampton

Let’s be honest, the majority of us see the process of putting things into storage as a right pain in the you-know-what. Still, there are many benefits to using a storage container or storage room to house your belongings safely, and at Container Self Store, we have plenty in place to make things as easy and stress-free as possible.

Below, we’ll explore just some of our team’s favourite self-storage plus points. 

What is self-storage? 

Self-storage involves a rented space (typically a storage unit) used by individuals and businesses. Ordinarily, storage contracts are short-term, though most companies are pretty flexible. The tenant will pay a weekly or monthly fee, and in return, they’ll receive a specifically designed, secure space where they can come and go and store all manner of items.

Self Storage Benefits

  1. Lots of size options

One of the main pros of self-storage is that there’s a wide variety of spaces available to suit any individuals needs. Depending on how little or how much you need to store, you can decide which option is best for you, from cost-friendly storage rooms to cavernous storage containers

How much does self-storage cost?

The cost of self-storage units ultimately depends on the size of container or room you’ll need. As you’d expect, the bigger the space, the higher the cost. For example, our 16 sq ft rooms are garden shed-sized, and at just £3.99 per week, they’re ideal for housing tools, Christmas decorations or appliances when you run out of space at home. 

On the other end of the spectrum, our vast 200 sq ft rooms offer ample storage space, equivalent to a roomy double garage. You can fit rooms and rooms worth of belongings in here at just £39.45 a week. We suggest itemising which goods you’ll be storing first to suss the perfect storage space for you.

  1. Safe and secure

Storage units are specifically designed to offer maximum security and peace of mind, however long you lock your items away. 

At Container Self Store, CCTV monitors our storage facility 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each site is also securely gated with keycode access, and we provide all containers with a complimentary high-quality combination padlock. In addition to this, you can also purchase all manner of heavy-duty locks and packing materials on site.

  1. Accessible and efficient

We grant our customers free 24/7 access to our premises, and thanks to our gated entry and thoughtful container layout, you’re able to drive your vehicle right up to the door to unload with ease! 

If you’ve got heavy or awkward items at hand, don’t worry, you’ll also find a generous amount of trolleys and pallet storage to make sure that your belongings get safely from A to B.

  1. Well ventilated and reliable

Our spacious storage solutions are fully ventilated and kitted out with hard-wearing, sturdy bamboo flooring. Not only does this mean that your belongings are secure and dry, but they’ll also be free from dampness and mould when you pick them up too. 

These attributes make storage units a far better option than the likes of sheds and garages, where mould is likely to grow and uneven, exposed flooring and roofing can incur further damage from debris and weather. 

  1. Flexible contracts and facilities

As well as all the above advantages, Container Self Store ensures that we’re providing the best service possible, right down to dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s. In addition, we offer flexible short-term and long-term contracts that are sure to suit everybody’s needs, whether personal, business or commercial. 

What’s more, you can also make use of a whole host of on-site facilities, including communal offices and hot desks, meeting rooms, refreshments and toilets.
