Discuss your needs with our Safeguard Storage manager to ensure you only pay for what you actually require. An efficiently packed small space will cost less than a larger space.
However, if you need to access your storage space frequently, a well-organised larger space with racks and archive boxes may be more convenient for you. This can all be arranged through our manager.
Large, heavy items that you can stack others goods on are generally stored at the back. Work forward and upwards with lighter, fragile items. Store goods you'll need to access at the front of the space, or leave a walkway to the rear if necessary. Using professional storage cartons and accessories gives maximum protection and makes stowing and unpacking easier and safer.
