BUSINESS STORAGE GUILDFORD & ALDERSHOT | MULTI-STORE

If you run a business, keep in mind that self storage is useful for businesses as much as it is for individuals. Companies that take advantage of extra storage space are capable of being run more efficiently and more flexibly. If you have never yet considered how a self storage facility could help your business, keep reading because you might just have been missing out!
Before we get into the benefits, it is important that with something as important as your business, that you choose a suitably equipped self storage facility. Not all units are fit for, or intended for business use. Multi-Store have self storage facilities located in Guildford and Aldershot which are ideally suited for business storage as well as personal storage. Security of your valuable items are our priority, whether that be your business’ stock, tools, furniture, or highly important documents.

How can our self storage solutions help your business?

Storing Important Documents –

While we are becoming an increasingly digital society, not everything can be stored in the cloud. Some important documents need to kept in the form of paper records and, if they reveal sensitive data, they need to be kept safe.

Documents such as these could include tax returns, invoices, employment records or receipts, just to name a few examples.

These records are typically not needed on a daily basis for a business, but it is still essential that they are stored safely. Rather than leaving them lying around an office where they could get in the way, be misplaced or damaged, it is a sensible idea to keep them in a self storage unit.

With a Multi-Store self storage unit in Guildford or Aldershot, you can rest assured that your important, confidential data records can be stored safely and securely out of the way. You will always be in complete control over who has access to these documents.

Use Your Self Storage Unit As A Warehouse —

These days more and more entrepreneurs are choosing to run their business entirely online. Depending on which industry you operate in, this can make perfect business sense due to avoiding the overhead costs of running a store. As business grows though, more space to store stock will be necessary. Stock can only be stored in your home/garage up to a certain point. 

When this limit is reached, a self storage unit is an ideal next step for growing business ventures. It is much more cost effective than renting a warehouse/store, but provides all the same benefits.

Alternatively, if your business is one that requires you to work with expensive tools, it can be unsafe to store these in a van or in your garage overnight. Don’t take the risk of having your valuable business equipment stolen, spoiling your livelihood! If you operate your business within the Guildford or Aldershot areas, we recommend renting a local self storage unit with Multi-Store, to keep your business equipment safe at night.

Bars/Restaurants Can Keep Up With The Seasons –Businesses in the hospitality industry regularly undergo seasonal makeovers, which often equals lots of clutter. To add to this, it can prove expensive if old decorations, or outdoor summer furniture, are thrown out due to lack of space and have to be bought new again every year.If you are fed up of equipment, decor and furniture from previous seasons ending up either thrown out, or getting in the way, try renting a self storage unit! Running a business such as this is stressful enough as it is – clutter and working in cramped spaces will only make this worse.
Temporary Storage For Business Moves – If your business is moving offices, this often means a change in size. Whether you are upsizing or downsizing, or perhaps you are just renovating your current office, you might benefit from temporary business storage.Office furniture is expensive to replace, so rather than throw it away you might be better off keeping it in self storage for the time being. In a Multi-Store self storage unit in Guildford or Aldershot, you can store things such as coffee machines, office chairs, computers, documents or decor.

    5 REASONS WHY YOU NEED STUDENT STORAGE | MULTISTORE

    Self storage is a great lifehack for students, due to the fact that they are often on the move between halls and rented houses, with quite a few trips back home thrown in along the way. With so much moving around, it makes perfect sense to have some extra flexible storage space to work with. At MultiStore we offer exactly that, flexible space that is easily accessible when required yet also completely secure when you are not there. Not only are our storage facilities super convenient for students, we offer a discount on student storage in Guildford & Aldershot too!

    If you are a student, or you are soon to be one, keep reading this article to find out the 5 reasons why every student should have a self storage unit.

    1. Keep your valuables safe during the holidays

    The logistics of having to move all your valuables back into your family home during the Christmas, Easter and summer holidays can become complicated. It will likely mean having to get a parent to pick you up so you can fit heavy items into the car – not ideal if you have gone to uni in a city halfway across the country!There may be some items that you would not need during the holidays, but are too risky to leave in your accommodation unattended. A bike, for instance, may not be needed for the short break at home, but student houses and halls are notorious for being broken into, so it is not worth risking leaving it. A secure self storage unit, like at MultiStore, is perfect for this situation.

    2. Lack of space in your room

    One of the biggest problems you will face when moving into your room at university is fitting all your stuff into such a small space. You will not have the luxury you had at home of having spare rooms and a garage to keep things in. 

    This means you will have to start being more thoughtful with what you have in your space. Items that are not used on a daily basis might need to be kept in a self storage unit for access only when you need it.

    3. Storing sports equipment

    Getting active and involved in a sports team is a great thing to do while at university, it can massively improve your uni experience. The social aspect to it is every bit as worthwhile as the physical benefits. 

    However, for many sports you will need to invest in some equipment, which you will then have to find a way to keep in your already limited amount of space.

    We frequently see people storing things such as cricket pads, golf clubs, hockey gear and much more in our self storage units. Don’t let storage space stop you trying out a new sport and socialising with new friends.

    4. If you are planning on going travelling

    What better time is there to travel the world than when you are young? We think you should explore all you can before you become a boring adult, tied down by things such as a job, marriage, kids, mortgages etc. 

    If you plan to go travelling immediately after you graduate, before settling down into that dream career, you will need somewhere to keep your belongings safe back in the UK. Your parents might not be so keen to take back all your stuff for a year if they’ve now rented out that spare room!

    A self storage unit is a perfect solution for this.

    5. For when you inevitably move accommodation

    Students often move accommodation at the end of each academic year due to changing circumstances, perhaps meeting new friends (or deciding they don’t like their flatmates because they never wash up), etc. 

    When you move, there is a good chance there will be a delay between having to be out of your old room before you can move into your new one. In this situation a self storage unit could help make the transition less complicated and lot less stressful.

        SELF STORAGE GUILDFORD & ALDERSHOT | WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

        Multi-Store provide secure, flexible and convenient self storage solutions at affordable prices in Guildford and Aldershot. Below we have compiled a list of 10 different situations in which you can benefit from having access to extra storage space:

        When you are moving house -

        This is one of the most common situations for which we see self storage being used. Financial complications involved with moving properties can sometimes mean that there is a delay between moving out of your previous home and moving into your new one. When stuck in this difficult in between stage, secure and reliable self storage offers the perfect solution. 

        Extra space can also come in useful when downsizing. Large items, such as expensive or sentimental pieces of furniture, may not fit in a new property. Renting a self storage unit will mean you do not have to sell items such as these or throw them away.

        When you are undergoing home improvements -

        Builders and decorators working on your home might make it look beautiful when it is finished, but they can often be very messy along the way! Precious items of furniture, or delicate ornaments, risk having splashes of paint spilled on them, or being scraped by tools and equipment. To put your mind at rest, store valuable, irreplaceable items in short term storage.

        When you run out of space -

        We are always accumulating more and more stuff. Items come in and out of fashion, it can be a constant battle to keep up with the new trends. Some old items we are happy to throw away, or recycle, but this can sometimes be difficult with items that hold sentimental value. With a self storage unit, when you run out space, you have greater control over which items you need to throw away, and which items you want to hold onto, as they may be potentially useful in the future.

        When you are going travelling -

        Whether you are a student taking a gap year before beginning work, or perhaps you are taking a much needed break from your career, you will need somewhere secure to store your belongings for when you choose to return home. By leaving items in self storage, you can travel with your mind at ease, knowing that you will have access to your safe and sound belongings whenever you come back home.

        University students returning home for summer -

        Students tend not to stay living in one property during their time at university, typically moving into new flats/houses for the start of each year. Over the long summer holidays this often means temporarily moving back home with parents. Rather than having to lug heavy electrical items or furniture back and forth each summer, it might make more sense for students to rent a personal storage unit instead. 

        We know money can be tight for students, which is why at Multi-Store we offer a student self storage discount!

        You need somewhere to store your garden furniture -

        We have just enjoyed a lovely long hot summer where many people purchased new garden furniture and BBQs. However, with winter now nearly upon us, you might be facing the dilemma of how to store it out of the cold and wet weather. We don’t all have suitably sized sheds/garages to store furniture in, and even if we do, items stored in sheds are still susceptible to damp. To protect your brand new garden furniture why not consider a self storage unit for winter?

        There is a baby on the way -

        A new addition to the family will require a few changes around the house. That spare guest room you had might soon become the baby’s room, meaning the bed and furniture might have to be replaced with something for suitable for a little person. Spare beds and wardrobes can always come in handy at some point though, so rather than throw them away, why not keep them in your self storage unit? Our facilities are perfect for storing furniture!

        You are going through a divorce -

        On a slightly less positive note, going through a separation with a long term partner can be a difficult time where practical arrangements have to be reached over shared items. In complicated situations, this can take a while. A temporary self storage unit could be the ideal short term solution to hold on to shared items, until pragmatic agreements can be made.

        You need somewhere to store stock for your business -

        A key way local businesses can profit from self storage solutions is by using a storage unit to hold stock. It will enable greater flexibility for your business, as you have the option to bulk buy stock when it is cheap and store it until it can be sold. Furthermore, it will mean you never have to throw away profitable stock due to a lack of space.

        You need somewhere to store office furniture -

        Office furniture and equipment is a necessity for most businesses but it does not come cheap. If you are moving offices, similar to if you are moving house, you might need somewhere to temporarily store your office furniture until the move is complete. Business storage units can be the perfect solution to avoid you having to buy brand new office furniture all over again. 

        Those are just 10 scenarios in which you could benefit from self storage services. Whatever it is you use your space for, make sure you choose a safe and secure facility such as Multi-Store. Multi-Store have top of the range self storage facilities in Guildford and Aldershot, catering for personal, business and student use.

          TIPS FOR STORING WINTER CLOTHES IN YOUR STORAGE ROOM

          During seasonal changes, not only does the climate vary, but also our routine, in terms of food we eat and even the way they dress. 

          When summer arrives, for example, we should consider some changes in our wardrobe: look for new bathing suits and put away the coats. If in your case you need to rent a storage room to store your winter clothes, we have listed some tips to keep your clothes in a storage room in a perfect condition and find it exactly as you left it.

          To organize and save space in your storage

          . Stack the clothes and store it in boxes. This way your clothes will not wrinkle, it will take only the necessary space and it will be in a certain order. 

          . Label the boxes. If you are going to stack your winter clothes by category, put a label on each of the groups so that when you need something specific, you can easily find it.

          To maintain fresh smell of the clothes

          . Wash all the clothes with some detergent and avoid using softeners or bleach before storing the clothes in a storage room. 

          . Make sure all the clothes you are going to store are dry.

          . Keep clothes in boxes made from breathable material (those can be wooden boxes).

          To protect your clothes

          . Distribute mothproof bags in bags or boxes. This way you will protect your clothes of those holes that usually appear when the clothes are stored for a longer period of time. Another option you can use is lavender. In addition to protection from moths, it keeps your clothes smelling fresh. 

          . Get rid of the stains. If the clothes have a fresh stain, we recommend that you get rid of the stains before storing the clothes in a storage room. Conversely, when you want to reuse that item of clothing, it will be relatively impossible to remove the stain once it is dry.

          . Keep clothes in cloth bags. As long as it is possible, you should use cloth bags as this type of material allows material to breathe.

          To keep the color of the clothing

          . Save clothes before ironing it. This way you avoid staining the clothes and it helps you keep its original color for much longer.

          To save only the necessary

          . Take the opportunity and categorizes your winter clothes: Separate those items that you will continue using from those you will not. When you have set apart the clothes that you are definitely not going to use, you can donate it to those in need. This way you will save space in your storage room and give a second chance to those blankets and coats that no longer fit or you no longer like them. 

          Once spring arrives, it is time to get to work and make some changes in your closet. In case you are considering storing winter clothes in a storage room, we assure you that following the tips we have listed above, you will find your clothes in excellent condition, with a pleasant fragrance and in its original color.

          In Multistore Selfstore, we have storage arrangement of different sizes according to what you want. Compare our measure guide, and choose what you need to store your clothes or whatever else you would like to store.

            REMODEL YOUR HOME AND KEEP YOUR FURNITURE SAFE

            Good weather is the ideal time to remodel our home: a lick of paint to the walls of the dining room and the other rooms, placing parquet floor or making a general remodelling are among the tasks we usually carry out.However, if the remodelling goes beyond a re-decoration or change of furniture, it will be necessary to safe and prevent them from suffering any damage. It may be not enough to cover them with sheets or plastic protectors because paint can stain them or suffer any unexpected mishap. This is why the use of a box room or furniture warehouse justifies the temporary store of some furniture and decoration objects, or even to save those that we will not need any more for a longer time.

            TIPS FOR YOUR FURNITURE AND OBJECTS DURING REMODELLING

            . Prepare one preliminary list of all your furniture and objects that you are going to save to know the space you will need and its cost. 

            . Get the necessary and appropriate packing material for each type of object: boxes, bubble plastics, padded bags and everything that helps you organise and better protect the decoration objects you want to keep.

            . Organise the space depending on the size and volume of your furniture to optimise the space. If they are cupboards, use the inside to store boxes.

            . Label all boxes appropriately. At first glance, the shape and size of the box can tell you what is inside. Nonetheless, the fact is that we all have more things than we think and although at the beginning we may believe we have everything under control, preparing the last boxes hastily and without any coherent criterion can be detrimental to us. Anyway, it is easy to indicate the contents of the box, and we can save much time later.

            . Once the works finish, we can move everything gradually and unhurriedly again, since the rent of these spaces is made according to the needs of its clients. In case that some of the furniture does not fit after the remodelling or move, you can save it again and make use of it as soon as possible.

              HOW DO I PREPARE MY HOUSE FOR A PUPPY

              Are you about to introduce a new furry friend into your household? Bringing home a puppy is hugely exciting (especially if it is your first!), but a little preparation is needed to make sure things go smoothly. 

              So how can you best prepare your house for a puppy? Follow these tips to make sure you create the best space possible for your new excitable best friend.

              Clean the House

              For a young puppy exploring the world, everything needs to be chewed. It’s part of their playful and curious nature. To prepare for this, before bringing the new pup home have a big clean of your house, making sure the floors are clear of debris and anything potentially harmful. Where possible, try and elevate electrical wires. 

              In addition to this, buying some dog-friendly chew toys will give them something they can safely get their teeth around.

              Stair Gates

              Preparing the home for a new inquisitive puppy is similar to making a home toddler-proof. For when you are not there to supervise, putting up a baby stair gate is a good way to ensure they do not get up to any mischief upstairs where the environment may not be as puppy friendly. The last thing you want is to find your puppy has chewed up your shoes left on the bedroom floor or, even worse, a phone charger cable!

              Dog Crates

              A dog crate can be a great training tool and be a safe space for a young pup. Dogs hate going to the toilet in their own bed, so in the first few weeks a crate is an ideal toilet training aid, while they adjust to their new routine. 

              Not only this, but they can be useful for getting outdoors too. You can put your puppy in the crate to take it in the car with you, out on adventures to explore new sights and sounds.

              Create Space & Protect Your Valuables

              Even with a toy to chew on, excitable and inquisitive young puppies will inevitably find something else to get its jaws around. This ‘something else’ might end up being your most valuable furniture, a family heirloom or something precious. To avoid this, for the first few months of having the puppy in your home, it might be a good idea to keep these precious items out of the way. 

              In addition, a puppy needs space to play and explore. You will also need to create a space for a bed, in a pup-friendly room.

              A self storage unit can be a great way to protect valuable items for a short while, until you are confident your new puppy is safe to be around them. In doing so, you will also create more space in the home, which can be dedicated to your new furry friend, to sleep and play in.

                TIPS FOR FIRST-TIME STORAGE USERS

                If you are reading this article it’s probably because you have realised that you own too many things. Storage units are great for storing that unused clutter. Instead of taking those items to a landfill or giving them away, why not store them in a clean and safe environment instead? Before filling your storage unit with halloween decorations and unused garden furniture, here are a few things that you might want to think about.

                Label Your Items

                Now you have got rid of all those boxes out of your home, maybe it’s time you put them into an organised storage unit instead? You can go through all your old belongings and organise them into specific boxes. This means that when it comes to christmas you will know which box will have all your tangled christmas lights in. The most effective way is to label your belongings. Go buy some sticky labels and categorise your boxes and belongings or even just write on the box what is inside.

                Add Some Shelves

                To truly maximise your floor space in your storage unit, you might consider opting for some shelves. This will help to keep you organised, you could have specific items for different levels on the shelves. You can always measure your free space to find out what shelving is best for you.

                Make it Accessible

                When planning out the accessibility of your storage unit, you need to think about where the items will be placed and how easy it is to get to. Place the items that you use on a regular basis near the entrance of your storage unit. Even if you haven’t opted for shelving in your storage unit you can still organise the space and maximise floor space. Place your boxes around the wall of your unit for ease of accessibility for the items and also for floor space.

                Dismantle Large Items

                This may sound like a lot of effort but even by taking the legs off that old dining room table can give you much more room. If you can take it apart and at some point in the future be able to assemble it again then start dismantling to save space.

                Be Clear on What you Want to Store

                We have video CCTV surveillance and smoke and fire detection alarm systems directly connected to Redcare, all monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You hold the only key to your unit. We do ask that you check out are FAQ section and make sure you know the rules when it comes to what you can and cannot store.

                  STORAGE ROOMS WITH DIRECT ACCESS

                    WHAT ARE THEY?

                    Self-storage containers are a type of facility utilised by individuals and businesses alike in order to store excess belongings for a certain period of time. These containers are often converted from old buildings or built specifically for storage purposes and will be made up of a number of levels, with each container stored on top of another. 

                    Self-storage containers are also easily transportable, secured with locking bars and a steel body, both of which are extremely difficult to break into. So, whatever you decide to store in there, you can guarantee your belongings are safe.
