Choosing the right storage unit isn’t always easy, especially when you’re not sure how much space you really need. Whether you’re moving house, decluttering, or storing business stock, picking the right-sized storage unit will save you money and stress in the long run. Here’s a guide from Storage Bros, local experts in storage units in Newhaven, to help you get it right the first time…

1. Make a list of what you’re storing

Start by listing everything you plan to store. Are you keeping furniture between house moves, or storing boxes of paperwork and stock for your business? A small 25 sq. ft. unit is roughly the size of a walk-in cupboard- perfect for boxes or seasonal items- while a 100 sq. ft. unit could fit the contents of a two bedroom flat. Top tip: Stack boxes safely and dismantle larger furniture to make the most of your space.

2. Think about how long you’ll need your storage unit

If your storage needs are short-term, you can pack tightly and make use of every corner. For long-term storage, plan to leave a little walkway so you can easily access what you need without unloading everything. The team at Storage Bros in Newhaven can help you plan your layout for maximum efficiency.

3. Business storage considerations

Many local businesses use self storage in Newhaven to keep extra stock, tools, or equipment safe. If you’re growing, it’s worth choosing a slightly larger unit to allow for expansion- it’s far easier to scale up than to move everything later.

4. Accessibility and security

All Storage Bros units are clean, dry, and secure, with convenient access times to suit your schedule. We know how important it is for both personal and business customers to have confidence that their belongings are safe.
