How to Decide What to Put in Storage

Storage can give you breathing room during a house move, renovation or period of downsizing. Decide what to store by considering how soon you will need each item and how well it will travel.

Sort by when you need it

Keep everyday essentials, documents and valuables with you. Put seasonal items, spare furniture and well-packed belongings into storage if you will not need them immediately.

Prepare items for storage

Clean and dry furniture and appliances. Use protective covers where suitable, pack smaller items in sturdy labelled boxes and avoid putting damp belongings away.

Plan access and collection

Check the facility’s opening hours, loading area, lift access and unit size. Keep an inventory so you can find items later.
