Whether you have never used self storage before or whether you have used it a lot, it can be hard to know how to get the most out of your storage units Newcastle. Here, we will guide you through our top tips about getting started with your unit. 

Over the last twenty years, the self storage industry has seen immense amounts of growth due to an ever increasing demand for it. More people are downsizing or heading off travelling. Many new-build houses do not have a great deal of storage and many of us are feeling less need to be surrounded by stuff. 

But, when you are paying to rent a storage unit, you want to know that you are making the most of every inch of space. Within this article, we are going to guide you through how to get started with your storage so you can get the most out of it. 

Think About What You Want To Store

Before you even begin looking at storage, you should think about what you want to store within your unit. If you can, bring it all together and measure it. This will allow you to get some idea of what size unit you need. 

Choose The Right Storage Unit

Now that you know how much you need to store, you can begin looking at what storage facilities offer the right size unit for your needs. Choosing the right size unit is really important because, if you choose one that is too big, you will just be wasting space and, too small, your belongings could be damaged.

Our units in our Newcastle store range from 10 sq ft to 1000+ sq ft so we are certain that we will have a unit that meets your needs. If you aren’t sure which unit would be right for you, our Newcastle team will be able to guide you to your ideal unit.

Consider Where Is A Convenient Location

Once you have found storage facilities that have the right size unit for you, you need to think about where is the most convenient location for you. Depending on your reasons for needing self storage, you may need to be at your unit on a daily or weekly basis. Even if you are simply storing items that you don’t need for sometime, we do recommend that you make regular checks to your storage unit. 

Our Newcastle store is located at Unit 15 Tundry Way which is a 17 minute drive from the centre of Newcastle making us an excellent storage solution for local people and local businesses. 

Check Out Reviews 

Finally, before you sign on the dotted line of any rental contract, you should check out the reviews. Reviews will give you a glimpse into the level of customer service you will receive, the cleanliness of the store, how easy everything was to deal with etc. 

We are happy to say that we have over 2000 reviews on our Trustpilot and 97% of them are 5* reviews like this one from Adam Ryan:

“From the first phone call to when I cleared out the unit the experience with Cinch Storage has been first rate. The staff are excellent communicators and when using the unit there are always loads of trolleys for loading and unloading. The facility itself is clean and tidy and was very local to us.”
