Renovating your home in Leatherhead can be exciting, but it often comes with challenges. Furniture can get in the way of contractors, be damaged by paint or dust, or take up space that you need to complete your project efficiently. One of the smartest ways to manage this is by using a reliable, stress-free storage solution. 

Wigwam Self Storage Leatherhead offers secure and flexible units that make it easy to store your furniture safely during renovations. With a variety of unit sizes, short- or long-term rental options, and easy access seven days a week, Wigwam ensures your furniture is protected while your home is being transformed. 

Here are all the essentials you need to know when looking for furniture storage in Leatherhead.  

Why You Need Furniture Storage During Renovations 

Home renovations can range from simple updates, such as repainting or installing new flooring, to larger projects like kitchen remodels or home extensions. During these projects, having furniture in the way can slow down work, increase the risk of damage and make your living space chaotic.  

Storing your furniture off-site allows you to protect your belongings, create more space for contractors to work efficiently, and keep your home environment stress-free. 

Choosing the Right Storage Solution in Leatherhead 

When selecting a storage facility during renovations, it’s important to choose a provider you can trust. Look for a secure and flexible storage company that offers a variety of unit sizes to accommodate furniture of all shapes and sizes. 

Whether you need a small space for a few boxes and chairs, a medium unit for a single room of furniture or a large unit to store multiple rooms’ worth of items, a good storage facility should offer options to meet your needs. 

Consider whether the facility provides short-term and long-term rental options, so you can store your furniture for the duration of your renovation without any hassle.

Tips For Storing Furniture During Renovations 

Before storing your furniture, read these tips! 

  • Prepare Your Furniture Properly: Ensure all items are clean and dry before storing to prevent damage. Wrap delicate or wooden furniture in protective materials such as bubble wrap, blankets or padding. 
  • Maximise Storage Space: Disassemble large furniture where possible, stack items carefully, and use vertical space efficiently. Leave small aisles between stacks to access items easily when needed. 
  • Plan Your Storage Duration: Use short-term storage for quick renovations and long-term storage for extended projects or phased renovations.

Highly recommend this company! I recently moved and needed to store some items and was unsure where to store as I wanted to make sure it was close by but also very secure. I contacted this company and to spoke to Holly who was so welcoming and helped me decide what size would be better for me by allowing me access to see the units. The level of security in the premises is fantastic with cameras at every corner! I decided in the end to go with a 50ft storage and then dealt with both Helen and Jeremy who explain each step what happens moving forward and made sure that I would get access on the date that suited me. The process I thought was going to be long and added stress for me, however all 3 took that stress away! Thank you again!

Easy peasy. Nice people to deal with; all my (probably, very silly) questions were answered quickly and clearly, and the follow up to check that my move went smoothly was a nice finishing touch.
