Container storage in Oxford
You'll need to choose between self-storage and container storage when comparing quotes. Self-storage units come in a variety of sizes and are often located within a secure building. With container storage, you can rent large metal containers that are in remote outdoor locations. Whilst this makes them slightly more susceptible to extreme weather conditions, they are still completely safe to use.
Container storage is completely secure as the units can only be accessed by staff members and clients. All of our storage partners have active CCTV with their containers constantly under constant surveillance. They will also use state-of-the-art security systems and modern fire/theft alarms.
The cost of your container storage will vary depending on your specific location and the size of the container being rented. However, if you want to visit your unit, you may be expected to book an appointment in advance, making this type of storage slightly less flexible.
Moving house storage in Oxford
One of the most common reasons container and self-storage is used is the moving house process. This is especially the case if your house sells before you move into your new home. Not only can storage can decrease the stress of the buying process and the move, but it also gives you and your family somewhere to store your items in the interim.
Downsizing is another reason why people use storage, allowing you to store your items outside your home whilst you make arrangements to have them moved somewhere permanently - or donated, recycled or thrown away. Additionally, by downsizing, you can save money on your removal costs as you will have fewer items to move.
Whilst self-storage is the most popular choice amongst movers, container storage can also be highly beneficial. A 20ft container is the perfect size for storing the contents of a 3-bedroom house.
Regardless of why you’re using storage in Oxford, don’t forget to compare storage quotes before choosing a provider. This ensures you’re getting the best deals for your storage needs.
