01 / Begin with an inventory.
Write down the larger furniture and the groups of belongings you want to store. Give each box a number and keep a matching list outside the unit. A quick photograph of the contents before sealing a box can help you find things later.
02 / Measure the things that matter.
Record the width, depth and height of large items. Check whether furniture can be dismantled and how it will pass through the unit entrance. Compare footprints below, remembering that ceiling height, doorway clearances and room to walk through affect the useful space.
03 / Choose the right packaging.
Use sturdy cartons suited to their contents. Pack heavy items in smaller boxes and use suitable cushioning around fragile belongings. Keep furniture fittings in labeled bags with the relevant piece. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions for fabrics, finishes and specialist equipment.
04 / Prepare before packing.
Clean and fully dry belongings before storing them. Avoid sealing moisture into a box or covering. Ask the operator about the actual indoor conditions for items sensitive to temperature or humidity, and review its full permitted-items policy.
05 / Arrange the unit for access.
Keep heavier boxes low and stack only when it is appropriate for the items and packaging. Allow a clear path rather than using every part of the floor. Put the things you will collect soonest near the front and update your inventory whenever items come or go.
06 / Confirm the practical details.
Before arranging transport, ask about availability, the current rate, additional charges, rental terms, insurance requirements, entry arrangements and unloading. Check the actual dimensions and access clearances. The enquiry form sends your preferences to the operator; the team confirms a suitable arrangement separately.
