Moving and storage: are your belongings safe?

When you’re making a big move, you may need to put your household belongings in storage. People often need a short term storage option when moving to another city or overseas. If you’re unable to take possession of a new property straight away, you may also need to put your belongings in temporary storage.

Most people are security conscious at home, but do you think the same way about moving and storage services? There are several points to consider when choosing storage. This is how we take care of storing your valuables.

Security

Security is one of our top priorities. As a company, we’re also focused on using the latest technology to enhance our services. Our storage facilities are secure, alarmed and monitored 24/7. We also have patrolled security for extra safety.

Hygiene and ventilation

The safety of your belongings can also come under threat from microscopic invaders like mould and mildew. Soft furnishings, linen, clothes, electronic appliances, books, pictures and other items can all be damaged if mould and mildew is allowed to take hold. Items packed in boxes are particularly vulnerable in damp environments without proper ventilation. Our facilities are kept clean and dry to greatly reduce the chance of this happening.

Pests

Dry, dark places without many people around are highly desirable homes for pests. Rats and mice can cause considerable damage as well as making a nasty mess. You also don’t want to open your boxes and find them full of cockroaches or other creepy crawlies. This is why we have strict pest control procedures to discourage and eliminate these unwanted squatters.

Economy of space

The advantage of having us take care of your moving and storage is we know how much space you’ll need to store your possessions and the best way to use it. If you’re not great at judging how much storage space you’ll need, this could save you from spending money on empty space.

Handling

Unlike self storage services, we take care of all the handling for you. There’s enough to manage when moving without having the stress of putting your belongings into storage yourself. Depending on how much you need to store, we can bring a steel storage container to your house, load it and take it away to our secure facility. When needed, we simply deliver it to your new home. Minimal handling reduces the chance of damage and allows us to offer you a competitive price.
