It’s that time of year when the walls can appear to be closing in and your house seems to be shrinking before your very eyes. Decorations are in place and Christmas shopping is piling up – lovely as it all is, it can start to feel like maybe you need a bigger house! (and if a move is on the cards we know just the removal company to call…)

One option which would meet the needs of Santa himself (rumour is he has a Leeds-based workshop as a regional branch…) is self storage. Need somewhere to move some of the old toys to make way for the new? (without getting rid of them just yet as that might lead to a meltdown!). Need to sort through wardrobes and clear out the summer stuff to make way for all the Christmas jumpers? Want to decorate ahead of Christmas celebrations? Got family staying for the festive season and need to empty the spare (junk) room? Self storage can be used however you need it and you can find the space that works for you, whether we’re talking about a few boxes and suitcases or an entire dining room suite.

With more and more of us living in apartments or having converted our garages and lofts to create extra living space, storage space at home can be limited. Although a good clear out can be cathartic, it’s not always practical to send everything off to the charity shop, the tip or to be sold. Sometimes you just need it out of the way for a bit, or to have somewhere to keep it on a longer term basis.

We have self storage centres in Leeds, Harrogate and Wakefield and one which will be opening in 2020 in York. All of them are open seven days a week, so you can get access to your items whenever you need them. Customers have their own unique pin code to gain entry into the storage centre and then you have your own lock and key for your storage unit itself. There’s ample free car parking and we have lifts and trolleys and other bits of equipment to help you get your belongings safely to your unit.

The storage centres are monitored by CCTV and manned six days a week, so you know your items are kept safe and secure. There are no complicated or lengthy contracts – we just need two weeks’ notice if you want to vacate. And if you decide you actually need a bigger or smaller unit, we’re always happy to try and accommodate your needs if at all possible. Prices start from just £6 a week, so there’s no need to break the bank. We even have our packaging supply shops online and in the storage centres to help with any boxes and packing materials you might need.

So, if we can help make Christmas a little bit less cluttered this year, why not come and have a look? (just don’t let on if you see the big man in red filling his sleigh…)
