Top-Level Security for Your Belongings
Tight security is at the top of our priorities, ensuring your possessions are safe and secure in storage. We don’t cut corners or leave anything to chance because one of the primary reasons for using self storage is the robust security it provides for your belongings and everyone who visits our depot.
We use 24-hour Red Care Security and CCTV protection to monitor your items constantly. The protection runs throughout the depot, covering sections. Each unit is protected with state-of-the-art surveillance and secure access. All our units have individual locks and pin codes to add safeguarding and are linked to the central alarm system.
For additional peace of mind, professional staff on-site will assist with concerns. – All onsite staff and moving teams have security vigilance training to ensure our facilities are secure at all times
The camera monitoring system has vehicle recognition technology, and all cars and vans require permission to ensure no unauthorised entry or exits. Any suspicious activity is reported and escalated immediately, with continual security evaluation as part of our quality protocols.
Storage Solutions for Your Home, Office, and Garden
Self storage works for multiple purposes, including in households and businesses. Gentleman & A Van storage options aim to cover all bases to ensure we provide the correct service for each situation.
Home Storage
Secure self storage for short-term requirements comes with unlimited access during our business hours. It’s ideal for moving home or undertaking renovations.
Container storage is suitable for storing furniture and appliances for longer periods. It is the most affordable package, but it comes with access restrictions. Some common reasons for household storage are packing away Christmas decorations and safeguarding valuables.
Office Storage
Safe storage for essential company documents, such as legal contracts and other physical paperwork. Business storage can protect surplus office furniture and specialist equipment. It offers the same unlimited access you enjoy with self storage.
Moreover, you can free up space in your office or workplace to encourage a more productive environment without clunky filing cabinets taking up the room.
Garden Equipment
Store larger items like lawnmowers, tools, and gardening equipment to withstand the changing seasonal weather. This includes safely moving outdoor furniture during off-season months to maintain its quality for years to come. It’s more secure than a garden shed and better at keeping the elements out, which reduces rush and mould issues.
How to Make the Most of Your Storage Unit
We have various unit sizes available to suit your needs, and you will not overpay for unused space. Our trained staff can assist with packing your unit to ensure you optimise the available space. Similarly, forklift services are available for heavy or oversized items.
If you need assistance creating an inventory of your belongings before using storage, we’ll provide a helping hand. We recommend using an app for this if you’re doing this yourself.
The layout of the storage unit is essential to maximising space, which we will guide you through, but here are some pointers:
- Bulky items to the rear of the unit if they’re non-essential.
- Clean all appliances and furniture and use any open interior spaces for other items to save space.
- Keep all doors slightly ajar to prevent increasing moisture or trapping air.
- Don’t use plastic or bin bags – they increase heat, creating moisture, which eventually causes mould.
- Use household storage containers, such as wardrobe and under-bed containers, and place them on top of furniture and appliances.
- Declutter before using storage to remove unused items and reduce your overall volume.
- Make notes and use labels to ensure you know what’s in your unit—this will help you locate and retrieve things.
