Storage Tips

  • Make a detailed list of the items you are storing and keep it safe for future reference.
  • Estimate the replacement value of all your items and arrange insurance cover. For a small administration charge we can include your goods on our insurance or you can arrange your own cover. Insurance must be in place before you can store your goods.
  • Use good quality packaging. We can supply boxes, tape, bubble wrap and padlocks at competitive prices in store or Storepaks are available online at the Box Shop.
  • Only fill boxes to their capacity as over-bulging or partially full boxes will not provide a sturdy base.
  • Pack heavy items into small boxes so that they are easy to carry.
  • For easy location of your items, number or label your boxes.
  • Store items you may need frequently at the front near the door.
  • To make the most of your storage space stack same size boxes together.
  • Protect sofas and mattresses with covers.
  • Use bubble wrap and or tissue paper to protect your fragile items.
  • Ensure that all garden equipment is clean before storing.
  • Cover your furniture with dust sheets and protect table and leg chairs with bubble wrap.
  • Purchase a good quality padlock, available in store.
