Choosing storage services.
If you are moving your house contents into self storage, either long or short term, it is important to use a storage facility that is safe, secure and cost effective.
Consider the following points when choosing a storage company;
Always get a comprehensive price quotation and check that the cost is fully inclusive, extras may include VAT or compulsory insurance.
Security is vital, how is the facility secured, who has keys other than yourself? Is the facility manned 24 hours a day, does it employ CCTV cameras.
If you are storing for a long term, longer than 2 or 3 months, then ask about discounts for long term storage.

to negotiate or tight doorways to pass through.
Before signing a contract with the storage facility of your choice, make sure that you read and thoroughly understand the terms of the contract.
