The Storage Works in Wigan.

Our sister company, The Storage Works is now planning to open its second self storage location in Wigan, Greater Manchester, following on from its first location in Great Harwood. The site has approximately 25,000 sq.ft of internal floorspace and in excess of 250 storage units in a variety of sizes.

The new site in Wigan will be state of the art and allow customers to store practically anything they want, ranging from classic car storage to just a few boxes.  For peace of mind, the site has perimeter fencing, electric gates, HD CCTV and individually alarmed internal units. Some of the services they offer are as follows;

With all the self storage facilities popping up around the UK, the big question is, “why choose The Storage Works”?

The Storage Works wants to build a loyal customer base and look after its customers. Therefore they have decided to go against the grain established across the UK storage market. Their unique selling point is that once you move in, your price is locked in and guaranteed for at least 1 year. As practiced by some competitors, there is no doubling of prices after 8 weeks. There are no price increases after a further 3 months. They pride themselves on a transparent pricing policy and are happy to advertise their cheap prices without you having to fill out lengthy forms. Not only that, they also discount by another 10% when you commit to storing for 6 months or more (you don’t need to pay it all up front either).

Don’t just take our word for it, head over to their website now www.thestorageworks.co.uk

Please see some images of the new self storage facility below.

Instructing & Choosing A Removals Company

It is always a good idea to find a professional removals company to help you move. Although shifting your household items might not sound like a very difficult task, it can be an extremely stressful and slow process and requires more skill than you might think. An experienced removals company will be able to considerably shorten the time of the process and do so in a safe way.
Although the removal company are there to help you, it is also a good idea to make it as easy as possible for them. Here are a few bullet points on how to instruct and handle your removal company:

  • Once you have decided on a removal company, give them at least 1 weeks notice before the day you need to move.
  • A removal company should be paid at the end of the job. Some might ask for a deposit before the job is complete.
  • Give your removal company an accurate description of the items you need them to move. If they turn up and need to move more than they initially thought, it is possible they may require more money. If they have done a quotation face to face, obviously make sure you have shown them all the items and pointed out anything that may be difficult to move (such as an extremely large/heavy item).
  • Think about accessibility. Is your home full of tight corners or narrow corridors? Or maybe your street is narrow and there isn’t a place for the removals company to park their van close to your home? Try and be as accurate as possible on how accessible your home is. Asking neighbours to be helpful with their parking the night before is a good idea allowing the removal van/lorry to park as close to your house as possible.
  • Try and be as punctual as possible. If the removals company says they will be at your house for 8am, that is when the clock starts, make sure you are ready with all boxes packed.
  • An extra pair of hands might help reduce the cost of the move. Some man and van or removal companies don’t allow people to help for insurance reasons but if you are prepared to help, you could save some money.

 

Renovating or Extending, Why is Self Storage a Good Option?

If you are considering renovating a residential property in Preston, many people rent a storage during this period for a variety of reasons, the majority of which we will cover below.

 

Security

 

Often houses will not be secure (or as secure as they could be) whilst you are extending or renovating. Houses that are clearly being renovated and not lived in become a target for opportunist thieves looking for things that they can sell on easily. Quite often alarms will not be fitted in properties being renovated too, meaning it is low risk for these types of criminals.

 

Best Items to Store?

 

Tools – If you have your own tools, a storage unit will provide a secure location for them. Self storage facilities such as The Self Storage Warehouse in Preston have very good security (CCTV and alarmed).

Expensive Fixtures, Fittings, Materials & Furniture – The obvious reason, you quite simply have run out of space. If you are still living in the property you are renovating, the usable area of the property has probably dropped significantly. Somewhere to store expensive fixtures or fittings so they do not get taken, broken or dusty is essential. On a building site, there is usually never an area that is clean, dust finds its way into every crack & crevice. Nice furniture can be removed and put into a clean and dry storage unit to protect it.

Get the best deals on materials & furniture – If you have seen a pallet of cheap tiles at a reduced price and thought,” I can’t buy them yet because I have nowhere to put them”, with a storage unit you will have plenty of room. If you see some furniture on sale, a storage unit will give you the ability to purchase whilst it is cheap. As well as this, if you choose The Self Storage Warehouse, they will sign for the deliveries on your behalf and even put the delivered goods into your unit for you if required. This means you can keep working and not have your day disrupted knowing everything will be taken care of.
