Common reasons to use personal storage
Renovating or Downsizing
Clear furniture from building work or create time to decide what fits your next home. Compare furniture storage and preparation.
Decluttering or Travelling
Free up usable space while keeping seasonal items and valued possessions accessible.
Prepare furniture for storage
- Clean and fully dry furniture and appliances
- Disassemble large items where practical and keep fixings labelled
- Use breathable covers rather than sealing damp items in plastic
- Pack boxes firmly, label them and keep heavier boxes low
- Leave a safe access path to items you may need first
Security and access
The facility is fully fenced and monitored by CCTV, with an on-site manager and personal PIN entry. Customers can access their units during seven-day facility access hours.
Check your contents insurance and ask about prohibited items before moving in. Flammable, hazardous, illegal and perishable goods cannot be stored.
Moving house
Bridge gaps between settlements and leases
Storage can help when settlement dates do not align, a rental ends before the new home is ready or removalists need a clear destination. Pack and label by room, keep essential items separate and place anything needed early near the unit entrance.
For larger furniture and household contents, compare the 20ft and 40ft unit options before confirming transport.
Renovating and downsizing
Protect belongings while creating room
Moving furniture out of a work zone protects it from dust, paint and accidental damage. During downsizing, storage can also provide time to decide which belongings fit the next home instead of making rushed decisions.

Personal storage questions
What household goods can I place in personal storage?
Common items include clean, dry furniture, appliances, moving boxes, clothing, books and non-hazardous personal belongings.
Can I store an entire household during a move?
A 40ft unit may suit larger volumes, but capacity depends on the furniture, boxes and packing method. Provide an inventory when asking for advice.
How should upholstered furniture be protected?
Clean and dry it first, use breathable covers, keep it away from damp items and avoid placing heavy boxes on cushions or frames.
Do I need insurance for stored belongings?
Customers should check whether their home contents policy covers goods in self storage or arrange suitable cover before move-in.
Can food, fuel or chemicals be stored?
No. Perishable food, fuel, gas, flammable products, hazardous chemicals and other prohibited goods cannot be stored.
Household storage plan
Work backwards from move-in day
A short plan can prevent damaged goods, wasted space and repeated trips.
1
Sort and measure
Separate items to store, move, sell or dispose of. Measure large furniture and count cartons by room.
2
Prepare and label
Clean and dry goods, dismantle where sensible, protect fragile surfaces and label more than one side.
3
Load by retrieval order
Put long-term items first and keep documents, seasonal items or essentials closer to the entrance.
Create a simple household inventory
Photograph higher-value items, record box numbers and keep the list somewhere outside the unit. Note which boxes contain fragile goods and which items need to remain upright. This helps with insurance records and makes later retrieval much easier.
Check whether existing contents insurance covers goods in self storage. Facility monitoring and controlled entry support security but do not replace the customer's insurance decision.
Keep these items accessible
- Documents and records that may be needed during the move
- Seasonal clothing, tools or household essentials
- Furniture fixings, assembly instructions and labelled hardware
- An inventory showing where each group of boxes was placed
- Nothing prohibited, hazardous, flammable or perishable
