Benefits of Self storage during your renovation

Storing your belongings in a self storage unit gives you fantastic peace of mind knowing your household items are protected from thieves, fire, damp and mould, and not to mention the builders or unruly children.

Storing your items safely can help to make what is a very stressful process just that little bit easier. Keeping everything safe and out of the way and freeing up space in your home allows you to concentrate on all the important aspects of your renovation, with one less thing to worry about.

With Loxleys Self Storage you can expect:

Access your furniture at any time

At Loxleys, you can access your items at any time. You don’t have to move everything in one day, meaning that you can come and go at times that suit you. With our phone access gate system, you can access your container from 5 am to 10 pm, 7 days a week – Nice one.

Many people wonder what to do with their belongings while one or more rooms are being ripped apart. Self-storage options can be a lifesaver during your home renovations. They keep things safe and give you some much-needed flexibility.

You can also keep the unit for as long as you need, so there is nothing to worry about if the work takes longer than expected or if you simply can’t decide where you want to put everything once it’s finished.

Having everything stored in one place also makes it easier to find the things that you need. You can pop back to retrieve anything you want at any time, and you know it is all in one place.

Renovate without the stress – and mess!

When you’re renovating your home, you will need to empty the rooms that are being affected. This is not only to allow your trades people to work without obstruction, but also to prevent breakages of anything that might be precious to you.

A lot of renovation work can also bring substantial amounts of dust with it, and so there are many items, especially soft furnishings, that you will want to keep out of the way.

Whilst some smaller things can be shuffled into another room, bigger items become more of a problem, and it can become difficult to live in any of the rooms in your house when you are sharing them with so much furniture.

It’s practical

This is why so many homeowners are now turning to domestic self storage options during their renovations, as it is a practical and obvious solution to a growing problem.

At Loxleys, our Grafotherm-coated containers offer extra protection from mould and moisture which ensures your furniture and belongings remain safe. Additionally, our wide-access roads allow you to manoeuvre large furniture pieces with ease.

Putting your larger pieces of furniture into self storage buys you a lot more living space in your home during your renovations. Fighting your way around unused sofas, beds and dining tables is uncomfortable and leaves your home feeling cluttered and unusable.

Storing large items such as your furniture in a self storage unit protects them from dust and damage and stops you from constantly moving them around, depending on what’s being worked on next in your renovation.

Container storage allows you to keep everything out of the way until building, tiling or painting is complete.

Personal storage units aren’t just great for keeping your wardrobes or bathroom suites out of the way, they can also be used to store curtains, bedding, ornaments, clothing, books and toys to keep them safe and secure.

What to consider when looking for self storage while renovating

If you’re looking for suitable self storage solutions while you renovate your home, there are a few things to look out for.

Are the units treated?

Ensuring that the containers you use are treated will make a huge difference. If self storage containers are treated (and ours are) you can rest assured that your belongings won’t return to you smelling fusty and covered in mildew when the time comes to transport them back home.

At Loxelys, our container storage in Mansfield uses a special anti-condensation paint within the interior of all our house renovation self storage containers called Grafotherm® which helps to prevent furniture from becoming ruined from the potential growth of mould.

Are they secure?

Of course, ensuring your items are safe and secure is a priority. When shopping around, make sure you’re confident that no one can access your unit, other than yourself.

At Loxelys Self Storage, our site is situated on a purpose built 3-acre facility that receives:

Most self storage units do not offer insurance for your items, so you will need to make sure that you are covered, just in case. Your home contents insurance may cover this, but there are also some great policies available just for self storage.

Are our storage containers for home renovations easy to access?

The last thing you want is to turn up in a large van, full of your belongings to find that the road is unsteady or the space around you makes it difficult to get large furniture pieces in and out of your vehicle.

At Loxelys, we have purposely designed our site with ease in mind. Our roads are fully accessible and suitable for cars and vans. We’ve even ensured you don’t come across any surprises such as narrow roads or sharp turns.

You will want to double check the opening times work for you and that you can get your heavy sofa to the unit without breaking your back.
