Consider the following tips when prepping for storage:

  • Gather your packaging supplies

How Do I Pack My Storage Unit To Maximise Space?

Maximising the space in your storage unit is easy with a little help. When moving into your unit, try these packing tips:

  • Install shelving to maximise vertical space
  • Disassemble furniture wherever possible
  • Use large pieces, such as a chest of drawers or a cabinet, by nesting smaller items inside
  • Remember to flip all tables and stack all chairs

Great company. I wasn't sure what size unit I needed and they were so helpful with plenty of advice even offering to let me see the units before I decided. When I booked my unit it was so quick and easy I just needed some ID docs and signed the contract then straight away I had my unit. They use an app to access the storage facility and it was so easy to use. Also they were the best value. They even phoned me to check everything was okay and that I didn't have any problems with the app or access. I would definitely recommend Wigwam for storage with lovely friendly staff and easy to set up and access.

They're in a very convenient location, with lots of parking for cars and also close to the 17 bus. The facilities are always clean and well-lit, and I cannot say enough about the fantastic staff. Peri and Emma are always cheery, helpful, and friendly. Reasonable prices, as well. It's great!

After being with Pink Hippo Reading for quite a while now, I cannot express how happy I am with their service. The lockers are well-priced and the facility is clean, however, the staff really make the company what it is. They have been understanding, professional and incredibly helpful with the organisation of my unit from overseas. I couldn´t have asked for more and I would recommend them a thousand times over.
