There are many reasons to use self storage but, if we go into them all, you’d be reading for a week so instead we have looked at our top five reasons to rent a storage unit Gillingham. Let’s get started!

Gillingham is a town with a great deal of history and it has immense growth, particularly within the business world. And like many places up and down the UK, Gillingham has seen a growing need for self storage solutions. More and more people are finding their home to be lacking in self storage. Along with this, since the pandemic, many people are choosing to live their lives differently, whether this is heading off travelling or starting their own business. People are craving more freedom and flexibility to live their lives exactly how they want to. 

Within this article we will discuss the top five ways in which the storage unit Gillingham will be an excellent storage solution, no matter your reasons for needing self storage. 

1. Supporting Business Growth

Gillingham has many services in place in order to help local businesses grow. Kent & Medway Growth Hub offers business advice and has business grants you can apply for.

Unfortunately, it cannot provide you with the space or storage you need for your business to grow to the best of its potential. Storage unit Gillingham can provide you with the ideal sized storage space and, if you pick the right storage company, you will get flexible storage which you can upgrade as your business grows and add extra storage during busy seasonal periods such as Christmas. 

Self storage is the ideal place to store your stock as it allows growth but also allows you to be extremely organised which will greatly help with inventory management. With its high levels of security it will also be excellent for storing business documents. 

Our storage unit Gillingham ranges from 10 square feet to 200 square feet and all of them come with a flexible rental contract which allows you to upgrade or add extra storage if and when you need to. Each of our units is fitted with a high quality security system. This includes an alarm and smoke fire detection system so your business assets will be safe from theft and environmental factors. There is also 24/7 CCTV surveillance around the entire Gillingham facility.

2. Facilitating Life Transitions

Storage unit Gillingham is perfect for life transitions such as moving home, downsizing or travelling for an extended period of time. 

Moving house can be very stressful. Using self storage can help to ease some of the stress by allowing you to pack up your belongings, get your new home ready and unpack at your own pace because you can store your  belongings in a storage unit Gillingham. 

Downsizing adds an extra layer of stress as you will have items that no longer fit within your new home. You need to decide what is best to do with them but, whilst moving house, this can just be an added stressor. You could store all the items you no longer have room for within our self storage units, until you have the time and energy to go through them and decide what is best to do with them.

Since the pandemic, more and more people are grabbing life by the horns and going on adult gap years. Self storage will be a big help for this because it will give you a safe, secure space in which to leave all your belongings. You will be able to travel with complete peace of mind. 

Self storage units will help you life transitions go much more smoothly and alleviate some of the stress. 

3. Space Optimisation

Many modern homes do not come with vast amounts of storage space and many are quite small. This lack of storage and limited living space can lead to a very cluttered life. Having clutter all over your home is not good for you – it affects your mental health, physical health and your ability to focus. 

If you do have clutter, the storage unit Gillingham will help you because you will be able to bring some items to your units whilst you declutter. This will allow you to declutter at your own pace and allow you to take your time to decide what to do with certain items. 

You can also use your storage unit Gillingham as your storage space, storing seasonal items, seasonal clothes, decorations etc. This will stop them from cluttering up your home in the months when you have no use for them.
