Which type of storage solutions is right for you?

When a decision is made that storage space is needed, most people ask themselves “where are the storage companies near me” or “are there any storage units near me”.

Although the location of the storage is important, it should not necessarily be the main factor when choosing the best storage solution for your needs. There are different types of storage options available for the different storage requirements.

Garden Shed Storage & Garage Storage

There is a growing trend for people to offer their garden shed or garage as a storage facility for others to use.

Careful consideration should be given before using this as a solution for storing your possessions.

  • Pros:
    • Cheap – this can be a low cost storage option.
    • Local – if you have a car or motorcycle that you take out on the road periodically then storing it in a garage local to you may be a good idea. Also, if you garden is too small for a shed, leasing storage from a neighbour may be a good alternative to filling your garage with gardening tools, a lawnmower or the kids bicycles.
  • Cons:
    • Security – most garden sheds are made of wood and are easily accessible to a would be thief. Even with the strongest and most secure padlock in place your possessions are only as secure as the small hinges on the wooden door and frame.
    • Accessibility – The person renting the shed or garage will not want you popping around at all times of the day and night. Perhaps interrupting a family BBQ or a relaxing drink in the garden on a summer’s day.
    • Insurance – they are very unlikely to have specialist storage insurance, in fact as it is not their possession in the shed or garage, it is likely that your valuables are not insured at all.

Outdoor Storage

Normally businesses offing storage outdoors will rent you a ‘storage container’ in a secure yard full of storage containers. They can be very useful to small businesses as a ‘lock up’ for keeping stock, which needs to be accessed on a daily basis. Market stall holders, for example would use outdoor storage to keep their stock and stall.

  • Cons:
    • Outdoor Storage – even though your valuables are inside a shipping container, they are effectively outdoors and open to the elements. Although not likely to be exposed to rain or wind, your belongings are exposed to the cold and damp.
    • Access To Storage – you will probably only have access to the storage yard from early morning to late afternoon /evening.
  • Pros:
    • Security – The vast majority of these storage companies rent you a shipping container, which with a very secure padlock, is difficult, but not impossible, to break in to.
    • Short term storage – most storage yards offer rates for container hire on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
    • Cost – Container storage is a medium cost storage solution.

Self-Storage

There are two types of Self storage companies. The first, usually have a large warehouse that has been separated in to storage rooms or partitioned ‘units’. The second type offers storage in secure containers, in a secure warehouse.

Storage Rooms

  • Pros:
    • Access – normally you can have 24 hour access to your possessions.
    • Security – Although anyone with a unit has access to the facility, each unit is secured with a padlock, inside a secure warehouse.
    • Size – You can lease storage units suitable to the volume of space you require.
  • Cons:
    • Cost – this can be a very expensive storage option
    • You do the hard work – as the name implies, self-storage means you do all the hard work. You will have to get your belongings to the facility. You will also have to move your items from the ground floor, to the floor where your storage room is. You will have to expertly pack your items in to the unit and then do the reverse when you want to get them home again.

Secure Storage in a Secure Warehouse

At Advanced Removals & Storage we offer ‘state of the art’ storage facilities.

Your treasured possessions are expertly packed into one (or more) secure storage containers, and then stacked inside a (very) secure, purpose built, storage warehouse.

We offer a ‘premier storage’ service, yet at a price that is better than even the most ‘cheap storage units’.

 

Ideal for long term storage, such as furniture storage when moving house or emigrating, and properties that are not available to move into on the same day or you want to move your furniture and possessions in a few at a time.

  • Pros:
    • Cost – Where as a ‘storage warehouse’ may have 50 to 150 storage units available, Advanced Removals & Storage have many 100’s of storage containers in our storage warehouse. This gives us ‘economy of scale’ that we pass on to our customers. This makes our premier storage affordable, and almost always, cheap storage compared to ‘national storage companies’.
    • Security – Our purpose built storage warehouse has complete CCTV coverage, a state-of-the-art alarm system, connected directly to the local Police, and 24 hour security patrols and surveillance.
    • Flexibility – we offer long term storage, ideal for document storage or as an alternative to office storage perfect for storing business items such as furniture, stock, tradeshow materials, exhibition equipment, seasonal stock, overspill stock, tools and equipment, machinery and anything else you need out of your workspace. We also offer short-term storage.
    • Protection – Our warehouse are no issues with damp air.
    • We do the hard work – we can collect your storage unit and deliver it to our storage yard. When you want your items back, we will deliver them to you.
    • Local – As we deliver and collect your items in storage, it doesn’t matter where you are based. Although we are a storage company in Gloucester, we are happy to deliver and collect in a wide surrounding area throughout the South West and West Midlands. So if you are looking for storage in Bristol, storage in Swindon, storage in Cheltenham or storage in Worcester – Advanced Removals & Storage can help.
