Reasons to Use Self Storage
Self-storage units haven’t been around for ever, but they’re becoming more and more popular. What’s driving this growth? Why do people love self-storage?
It’s Flexible
If you’re running your own business you might need somewhere to store your stock. Some months you may have a need for more storage, others less. You get better deals from your suppliers if you order in bulk, but renting a large premises just in case you have plenty of stock will cost a lot. Self-storage is brilliantly flexible, rent additional space as you need it. This ensures you’re only paying for the space you actually need. You can grow your business without the risk of signing a long term business premises lease. If you’re a small business and don’t have a premises you might need a small amount of storage away from prying eyes for your paperwork. Just hiring a secure locker can give you peace of mind.
If you need self-storage because you’re moving house or downsizing the flexibility of hiring storage for a month or two could be the answer. Not all house moves are straightforward, if you find yourself with a short period when you need to store your belongings safely then self-storage is the answer.
When downsizing you may have not realized how much furniture you have. A self-storage unit will allow you the time to decide which items should be kept, and which sold on or given to family members. Sometimes it’s good to have a little thinking time, so putting excess items into safe storage will give you the time you need. If you need storage to help to declutter you home it can make you feel more confident and in control. If you’re someone that has too much clutter and you’re aware that decluttering will help your mental health. It can be quite stressful getting rid of your things, self-storage allows you to sort things out gradually. Your home can be decluttered and tidy and you can re-home your extra possessions from your storage unit gradually. Reducing the stress and allowing you control.
It’s Secure
Your possessions will need to be kept securely. A lockable storage unit with CCTV, perimeter fence and helpful staff working there during the day could be more secure than your home, car or office building. There isn’t anywhere that’s thief proof, even the Tower of London has been burgled, but a secure unit has all of the precautions to keep your belongings safe.
If you have private paperwork, but are living in shared rented accommodation a locker at Mammoth Self Storage is the answer.

Whether it’s the holiday of a lifetime going round the world, or temporarily moving in with a family member that needs some extra care, we’re not always at home.
