Why use storage services if you’re not moving?
When most people think about using short-term storage facilities, like the safe, secure and clean storage units we operate in Bournemouth, they probably only think about using them during a property move.
However, there are occasions when short-term storage could be useful even if you’re not moving home, such as if you’re carrying out extensive renovations to your property.
A report from Money.co.uk last year revealed that 65% of homeowners in the UK invested in renovations on their properties in 2020 (hardly a surprise given how much time we were all spending at home!).
With more people than ever working from home, and this trend not expected to change in the near future at least, there could be a need for more space in your property. Building an extension can be a great way to add more space to your home, but this kind of project can be very disruptive.
What will you do with bulky furniture and other belongings while the renovation work is being carried out? What about precious possessions that you want to protect from potential damage? The answer could be to put your belongings in short-term storage.
At Removals Unlimited, we have a range of storage units at our Winton site that are completely weatherproof, secure and clean. We have containers and large garages, which are the ideal places to store your furniture and prized possessions while you have renovation work carried out at your home.
What’s more, we have extensive experience of specialist item removals, which means we can come and collect even the most unusual of your belongings and transport them safely to our storage units.
Whether you have a family heirloom, a piano or even a safe that you need to temporarily store away from your property, our experienced team are here to help.
Don’t worry about packing materials for smaller items either, as we can provide you with everything you need through our Box Shop. We have a wide variety of boxes, as well as bubble wrap and other packing accessories such as tape, so that you can carefully pack up any belongings that you want to keep out of the way of the renovation work at your property.
Of course, our storage facility can also be useful if you are moving into a home that needs extensive renovations. We pack, move and store, so we can help you every step of the way if you are preparing to take on a property that requires a lot of work before it becomes your perfect home.
If you’re looking for a home to renovate, rather than one that’s ready to move straight into, you could be in luck. Last year, the Build It magazine shared figures from the Empty Homes Agency revealing that there are around 800,000 empty homes in the UK, of which around 280,000 have been vacant for more than six months.
Whether you’re moving into a home that is a renovation project for you, or you’re simply upgrading your existing property, here at Removals Unlimited we can help with all your storage and packing needs.
