We’re very excited to be launching a competition offering you the chance to win a free self storage unit for three months at either our Harrogate or Wakefield self storage centres!

All you have to do to enter is find us on Facebook, like our page and comment on the competition post. Simple! You have until 5^th December to enter and you could be the lucky winner of up to 100 sq ft of self storage. Tag your friends who might benefit from some extra space. What might you use it for?

Is all the extra Christmas ‘stuff’ making you feel like the walls are closing in? Do you run a business and have an excess of stock knocking around at this time of year? Planning some new year redecoration or DIY? Move your stuff into self storage and it’ll be so much easier than having to work around mountains of furniture! Or perhaps a house move is on the cards for you or a friend? Three months free self storage could be ideal for decluttering ahead of putting a house on the market, or to help make moving easier.

The prize is up to 100 sq ft of storage space – but of course we’d find the right size of storage unit to meet your needs. If you have say a room you want to empty, 50 sq ft may well be big enough – 100 sq ft will fit in the contents of a small truck, a jam-packed garage or a two bedroom house. Depending on how much you’ve squeezed into that house obviously – one person’s cluttered is another person’s minimalist! You can find out more details about the different sizes of storage available and a storage unit size estimator on our website.

It might also depend how often you want to access your belongings. You might just want to put things in there for a chunk of time and forget about them, in which case you can pile things into the unit. Or you might need to be popping in and out to get things – which is absolutely fine, you can get access as you need it. But for your own sanity and safety you might not want to have to climb a mountain of boxes every time you need to retrieve that one item! But our friendly experts in our storage centres in Harrogate & Wakefield will always be able to advise – they’ve seen it all!
