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.
