If you have any particularly valuable items you wish to keep in self storage, we advise taking out separate insurance or consulting your insurance provider to ensure you have total coverage for the full value of your belongings for peace of mind.
We work with a diverse mixture of clients, using self storage for many different purposes. Moving home is a common reason to require self storage, where homeowners or first-time buyers can store all of their furniture and belongings in a generously sized container until they are ready to move in.
Homeowners also use self storage to protect their furniture and clear clutter from their homes while renovating or redecorating.
Storing items in a loft space, garage, or shed often means your belongings are exposed to dust, dampness, poor weather conditions, contaminants and residues which can cause no end of damage, so a self storage unit is an excellent alternative.
In terms of the kinds of items you can store, there are very few limitations, although we cannot store or insure:
Otherwise, you can store anything you would like to, where you need any-time access, clean and dry storage, and to keep your possessions safe and under surveillance.
Snappy Self Storage recognises that one of the key requirements you may have is security since any items stored long-term away from your main business premise or home may be exposed to tampering, damage, vandalism or theft.
Our full-scope security system provides the best possible safeguards, with an automated access control gating system, privately issued entry codes for all clients, and ongoing CCTV monitoring to detect any unauthorised activity. We give you complete confidence that all your self storage items are protected.
