Make Switching Offices Easier with Self Storage

Switching offices can often be a lengthy and overly-complicated process; with so much work-related equipment and furniture packed into a few rooms, the task of carting it all out and loading it into vans, cars and trucks can easily be a full day’s work (and that’s when it goes without a hitch!)

Whether moving house, offices or simply helping a friend move their belongings, you are likely to have seen the complications that can come up in a single day of moving. The removal van can’t sit in the “no parking” zone outside the new property, the new office is on the top floor of a building without a lift, and the traffic jam en route to the area costs you an hour of your “moving day” time.

Rushing to get the job done in a single day (or two) can set you back a long way. It’s all too easy to get caught short and lose another couple of working days because of the snags hit when transporting your workplace items.

That’s where Self Storage comes in!

Using “do it yourself” storage can be an absolute life-saver in situations such as these; the “use as you please” nature of the self storage space allows you to contain your mass of items in a secure location, with the option to collect them any time. This means you can break up the hassle of moving in over a period as long as you like, ensuring all of your items are safe and ready to go. The clean, dry surroundings in the storage facilities ensure the items will remain in tip-top shape before collecting them for moving in.

This can also help cut out the costs of large removal services: by having an easy-access self-storage space you (and if you’re lucky, your helpful colleagues) can manage the bulk of the furniture and other items in a few car or van journeys at your convenience. There are now well over 1000 self-storage centres in the UK, so it’s quite likely there is a centre nearby your new office and convenient for you.

As virtually all storage facilities these days are fitted with CCTV monitoring, and some even providing on site secure patrol services, you can rest assured that your belongings are more secure than they would be in your place of residence. Restrictions on what can be stored are far and few between. Forbidden items generally include toxic or waste products, illegal substances and fire arms, living animals or plants and cash.

Although the “self” in the name shouldn’t be taken too literally (they won’t provide a place in which to house yourself over night!), some centres do offer the opportunity to utilise the storage space as an extension of your office. Transforming your facility into a studio, workshop or warehouse is an idea that many customers take on board and benefit from considerably.

So there we have the perfect way to make moving offices (as well as home) a convenient and much less stressful experience!
