Hints & Tips - To Protect Your Belongings
The use of Packing accessories such as Cartons, Paper, Tape, Bubble Wrap and plastic cover will offer maximum protection to your valuables whilst in storage. We recommend that you fill your Cartons to capacity so they can be stacked to utilize your available Storage space. Cartons should be labeled and taped securely, they will then be easier to handle and locate. Stack books flat and store in smaller Cartons for ease of handling. If you have the original packaging Cartons etc utilize these for maximum protection.

Storage Agreement
This Storage Agreement is designed to protect both the Storer (you) and the Facility Owner (us). Be sure to read it thoroughly and seek independent advice should you deem it necessary. Please ask our staff to explain anything you do not understand.
How to Pack Your Storage Space
We suggest that you place large heavy items (unwanted in the near future) at the rear of the Storage Unit. Work forward and upwards with the lighter, fragile items. You may wish to leave a walkway so you can access your goods whilst in Storage. Pack your Storage boxes to their maximum capacity so they can be stacked without falling over and or collapsing. Label your Storage Boxes so you can allocate them to the correct area when you eventually move them.
What Not To Store
Any goods that are flammable, explosive, hazardous, perishable, illegal or that are of risk to the property owner or any person.
