Your essential moving home checklist

Moving home can stress you out of your box. All the more reason to use Edinburgh Self Storage to lighten your load.

Here’s your essential moving home checklist so that you can look forward to the day you move and not wish to scurry off and hide under the stairs or in the en suite.

Secure storage near me: Plan

They say it’s all in the wrists but it’s also all about the planning when moving home and that’s why planning is at the top of our moving home checklist. If you plan a packing schedule, for example, and are able to differentiate between the boxes at the other end because they’re colour coded by room, you’re onto a winner.

Best self storage Scotland: Make sure that you have all that you need

Visit our Box Shop for some inspiration as it’s not just boxes you might need but bubble wrap, sofa covers, marker pens etc..

These are your friends and will help you in ways that you can’t possibly yet imagine.

Self storage uk: Declutter

Prepare to be ruthless to be a grade-A declutterer.

Otherwise you are simply moving a pile of old stuff around with you that you probably won’t look at again until your next move.

And just think of all the negative karmic energy in all that clutter too.

Listen, we’re not completely heartless, and if you can’t bear to part with certain items, like that umbrella stand that will get under your feet in your new place but it was gifted to you by someone special or it’s a family heirloom, store it safely with us.

Storage is also the answer for a collection of whatever takes you or your partner’s fancy, vinyl, novelty thimbles, or anything that you might wish to retire for a few years so that you can appreciate it anew in the future.

Storage units Edinburgh: Be kind to yourself

Celebrate milestones by being kind to yourself and rewarding your efforts with whatever it is that constitutes a treat to you!

Like when you have packed up an entire room or organised the removal company or called or contacted Edinburgh Self Storage!

Self storage prices uk: Seriously consider Self Storage

Moving home might mean that you no longer have room for all that gardening equipment or some of it’s likely seasonal.

Store garden tools with us while you’re waiting for the new shed to arrive or be assembled, or sofas or other soft furnishings while building work is going on. You might not wish to get rid of some furniture but pass it onto members of your family that might not yet have room for it because they’ll shortly be on the move too.

Ditto your white goods if, like so many people, you don’t like the kitchen in the place that you’re about to call home and it’s about to be ripped out.

Big bulky items like bed frames and wardrobes should also be stored away in your Edinburgh Self Storage facility so that they don’t get damaged, and our units are big enough to accommodate all this type of furniture.

Kids toys can also get lost in the move and that would be an absolute disaster, so best to keep them all together in one of our storage units.

Apart from that one special toy that they can’t be without of course! Heaven forbid!
