I am Moving Home.
Moving home is stressful enough so we make the storage part simple: Perhaps you’re selling your home and need to de clutter to show it in the best condition and maximise its value, or require temporary storage whilst your new home purchase completes. Whether you’re storing just a few items or the entire contents of a 5-bedroom house, we have the ideal secure storage solution, moving boxes and packing materials. This afternoon we had a visit from Rummy a local Richmond Resident who is selling her house and completion is next week. We arranged for a Moving Company to help her with the move and she will be storing her furniture etc with Simply Self Storage. This is what you should really expect from a Self Storage Comapny that provides storage solutions.
We aim to give you the best advice, value, and service possible. We believe in treating you fairly, in giving you choice and dealing with you in a very open and transparent way, so
Our Promise is:
We won’t charge you for extended access – at Simply Self Storage it’s free
We won’t charge an administration fee or any other charges that you weren’t expecting, when you move in
We won’t insist you buy our locks or insurance, but you can if you wish to
We won’t pretend 4 weeks is a month – at Simply Self Storage you are billed on the same basis that you are quoted, which is a full calendar month. So you pay exactly what you expect and no more.
We’ll give you the best price the first time you ask. If you do manage to find a better offer for a comparable service, let us know, as we won’t be beaten on value

Keep your stored belongings safe and maximize your storage unit space by following these packing and storing tips:
Buy good quality cardboard boxes as these will allow you to stack them. You will make huge savings with our Box Packs.
To make good use of your storage space, items such as beds can be taken apart or folded down. Moveable closets can be used to store smaller items inside
Fill boxes completely and distribute weight evenly – stacks of partly filled or bulging cardboard boxes may tip or collapse
Store heavy items in smaller boxes for easier lifting. Store dishes and breakables in strong cardboard and plastic boxes, packing with plenty of bubble wrap, tissue paper. Stay away from using newspapers as the ink will stain
Hang your clothes in wardrobe boxes for crease free storage
Label all boxes clearly, and keep an inventory of your stored items at home. This will help when retrieving goods from your storage unit and unpacking
Position items that you will need access to at the front of your storage unit
Avoid stacking or leaning furniture against the walls of your storage unit as this may prevent proper ventilation
Leather couches should not be stored on their ends as this can cause stretching and the leather to lose shape
Avoid storing heavy items on couches or mattresses
Allow large and heavy items to form the base of any stack in your storage room, with lighter items at the top. Make sure you allow a walk way for access to your goods
Cover all furniture with dust sheets and remember to protect table and chair legs with bubble or foam wrap to avoid scratches. Mirrors and pictures should have their corners protected with foam.
Refrigeration equipment should be defrosted and, along with washing machines, left dry and with the door open to allow ventilation and prevent mould
Clean all garden furniture before storing and make sure that your lawnmower is drained of fuel.
Purchase a lock to secure your storage unit. If there will be more than one person accessing the unit, don’t worry our locks come with three keys. You can buy yours from us.

Tips on How to organize your Self-storage Unit
One of the key things to remember when storing valuable items in storage unit is organization. Having a well-organized storage unit can save you a lot of time especially when you are looking for a specific item that you need. It can be very hard to locate for a specific item inside a unit if your things are not well organized. If your unit is well organised it will make moving of items faster and easier. There are times when you need to take items in and out of the storage. This article will give you tips on how you can organize all your items within a storage space. Here are the following tips that you can apply to organize your things and save time.
• It would be very easy for you to take things in and out of the storage unit, if you will place frequently used items at the back of the unit. The things that you need the most and you usually use should be placed in the most accessible part within the unit. You can place it to the back of the unit (closer to the roll-up door) for more accessibility.
• It you have a whole room as storage unit, you can stack boxes along the side of the room to leave some space where you walk in the middle of the room. This will make it very easy for you to access all items inside the unit. Storage units are spacious, but you need to organize things inside so it would be very easy for you to acquire the things that you need.
• By labeling all the boxes at the side and on top, this will make it easier for you to find items that you need. Finding specific item that you immediately need is much easier and faster if boxes are properly labeled. It would be very time consuming to go through all the boxes juts to find a single item that you need.
• You can keep like items all together into one section. For example, you will store household items. You can keep kitchen items together and bed room items together. This is another method to keep your things well organized inside a storage unit.
• You can also use specialized boxes for specific items such as clothes and china or dishes. There are available wardrobe boxes with a built-in rack so you can hang your clothes neatly. It you do not have specialized boxes such as this one, Simply Self-storage has these kinds of boxes. You can buy these specialized boxes at a very affordable price.
• Remember that you need to stock heavier boxes at the bottom and lighter boxes on top. This will also make access to your boxes easier. This will avoid heavier boxes from crushing light weight boxes.
• If you want to organize your things, it would be very helpful if you will make a complete list of items stored in each of the boxes. You can also write where the box is located whether right or left side. By having a masters list like this, it will make it very easy for you to locate for any items within the storage.
• By storing heavy and larger items against the wall, this will prevent these items from going in your way. These items are not easy to move so it can block your way whenever you need to look for something important.
• If you are going to share your unit with a friend make sure to use marks to identify which item is yours and which item belongs to your friend. You can use color markers to differentiate your things.
