Think About What You Want To Store

Firstly, you need to think about what you need to store. If you can, gather all of it together so you can gain some grasp on how much you have. It is also a good idea to measure items so you can have a good estimate of how much you need to store. This will help you to move forward with your storage. 

Choose The Right Unit 

Now that you know what you need to store, you can begin looking at storage units. In our Swindon storage, our units range from 15 sq ft to 500+ sq ft so we are certain that we will have a unit that is perfect for your needs. 

If you find yourself struggling to choose, our Swindon team is here to help. They will be able to guide you to your perfect unit. 

Think About The Right Location 

Location is also really important when it comes to self storage. You want to pick storage that is easily accessible for you, so you can get items from your unit and check on your unit regularly. 

Our Swindon store is located at Cheney Manor Industrial Estate, next to the ATS Euromaster Swindon Comp. It is just a short 7 minute drive from Swindon town centre. 

Look For Excellent Customer Service 

When it comes to storage it is easy to think that good customer service isn’t that important but it really makes all the difference to your self storage experience. 

At our Swindon store, all of our team members are highly knowledgeable about storage and they will help you every step of the way. They will offer you a warm and friendly welcome each time you come into the store. 

This is what Claire had to say about our Swindon team:

“I’ve been chatting to Charlotte at the Swindon branch. She’s been fantastic! She’s answered all my questions and has gone above and beyond with the level of customer service she’s provided. Charlotte sorted out a reservation for me and provided opening times so I could come along and see what I needed.”

How Long Do You Need Your Storage In Swindon?

Once you know the size of the unit you need and have chosen a storage facility in a good location, you now need to think about how long you need your unit for. 

We offer both short and long-term storage that all comes with a flexible rental agreement. This means that if you need to change your storage at any point, you are free to do this. You can also leave your unit before your rental agreement has expired. We just need you to us give a short period of notice. You will be refunded for any unused days, something not offered by any of our competitors. 

Pack Your Items Properly 

Now, you are ready to move into your unit. It is important that you pack all your items properly, making sure to use packing materials such as bubble wrap, furniture covers and strong, high-quality boxes. 

If you are using boxes, you will want to make sure to label each box so you know what is within it. This will make it easier when it comes to retrieving and unpacking the boxes.
