Household and Personal Storage

There are a number of reasons that you might need to store household or personal items. It could even be that you require some temporary accommodation at the same time. At Meon Springs, you can hire a storage unit and, if appropriate and required, stay in one of our Shepherd's Huts - like in the pictures.

Self Storage Prices

We regularly review our self storage prices, which are very competitive in the local area and signficantly cheaper that most town and city storage prices (well worth considering if you have long term requirements).

Unit sizes range from 18sqft to 160sqft and all our storage prices, include insurance for goods up to the value of £10,000.

Moving Home

Organising a house move can be a major project where you need to coordinate a number of different things including the house deal itself, solicitors, removal firms, packaging suppliers and (if required) self storage options. You may also want to move and pack items in a gradual way and possibly store them in different storage units to allow good access to some items whilst being economical with space for other items.

One of the most important decisions in your house move (probably more so than which storage facility you choose) will be who you use for removals. From customer feedback, we know who are the good ones and who to avoid in the Petersfield and Winchester area. If you like, please ask us for removal recommendations (regardless of whether you plan to store with us or not).

If you are considering hiring a self storage unit but are unsure of when or even if you will need it, give us a call or drop us an email. We can reserve you a unit with know obligation to take it - just to give you peace of mind that you'll have storage space, should you need it.

Decluttering

All estate agents will advise you to declutter your house to get it looking as good as it can for potential house buyers to view.

Having less of your furniture and personal belongings in the house allows buyers to more easily imagine the space with their items in place.

Particularly important is to remove items and boxes that look messy or block walkways or doors. That said, it is still important to leave enough items in place for house buyers to know what the room is used for.

House Auctions

If you're selling your property at auction, you will be expected to move out within 28 days of the auction date. And if you don't have a place to move to, you will need to ensure that you have storage organised for your household items.

As mentioned above, please take advantage of our no obligation reservation system to cover yourself for the uncertainty of whether you will need storage or not.

Home Improvements

Another common requirement for household storage is when you are doing a decorating or house renovation project. In this situation, you may have to move out of the house or at very least empty the contents of the room being decorated.

Once again, it seems that flexibility is really important for people doing this. As you probably know - builders estimates of how long it takes to complete a project can be sketchy and (unless you're really organised) your own estimates of the time it takes to complete a decorating project can at best be variable.

For this reason, we never hold anyone to a notice period at the point of moving out. Once you have a storage unit hired, you have it until the keys are returned.

Vehicle Storage

We have stored motorbikes, classic cars. mini diggers and aeroplane parts in our storage units.

Because the units are containerised the vehicle cannot be seen, which makes it more secure from opportunist thieves. Also, you will normally find that there is room in the container for ancillary items to be securely stored along with your vehicle.

Death, Divorce and Destruction

Regretfully there are times in life which are personally quite hard. At these times we need all the support we can get, whether it be emotional support or practical support. Also at these times, we need simple and easy solutions to practical problems such as storage of goods.

On many occassions we have had customers needing to quickly move goods into a storage unit and then requiring plenty of space and possibly a couple of smaller storage units to sort it all out. At Meon Springs you have the advantage of wide drive up access to your storage unit, giving you plenty of space to sort items out.

We also sometimes find that insurance companies need to store items in the event of a house fire or flood. We are more than happy to accept these items and deal with the insurance company for storage payments.

Travel and Relocation

There are loads of lovely places to visit and work in the world. Unfortunately, it's not always practical to take all of your belongings with you.

If you’re moving overseas for work your business might be happy to pay for you to store your furniture and goods that you do not wish to take with you. We are more than happy to accept this kind of arrangement.

Also, if you're going on a world trip and renting your property out, a self storage solution can be a very good option to allow you to remove your personal belongings from your home or to store all of your furniture and rent your property unfurnished.

One thing - we have had a number of customers

Offloading Storage Items

Many people are storing items that are not really going to be needed in the long term.

We are more than happy to help customers off-load items by recommending auctioneers, house clearance operators, removal firms, who will dispose of goods at the tip for you and local car boot sales.

One such local auctioneer is Jacobs and Hunt in Petersfield.
