All FAQs

Do I need to do anything to protect my goods whilst in storage?

You should place any absorbent materials either inside airtight boxes, such as the ‘Really Useful’ range or if large, such as a sofa or bed inside plastic covers. It’s also a good idea to place ‘Damp Traps’ inside the unit. These can be purchased from Asda and homeware stores.

Try to leave some space between goods to facilitate air-flow and always keep clear of the vents located near the ceiling.

If you walk water in, or bring anything damp inside, such as garden furniture it’s a good idea to keep and eye on any damp traps you are using, and replace these as they fill. Opening up the doors on a dry day will help bring moisture levels inside your unit down.

 

Do I need to meet on-site and sign the paperwork etc?
