How to select a storage operator in Cornwall

Industry insight from the experts.

Reputation
To guarantee the storage company you pick are trustworthy, ask if they are members of the UK Self Storage Association.
The Association lays down strict operating guidelines and you can rest assured that any member will have all the necessary safety, security and fire prevention measures in place.

No hidden extras
Make sure your storage company do not charge for any hidden extras such as registration fees or release fees.

Check the small print
It may be wise to shop around your local storage operators but make sure you check whether prices include VAT and be careful not to compare rates per calendar month with those for four week periods because the latter covers fewer days.

Check access rights
Make sure you are not penalised for accessing your own goods. Choose a company that offers unrestricted 24/7 access to be on the safe side.

Notice period
Make sure you are not tied in to any long term contract.

Special offers
Ask the operator whether they have any special offers on at present. Typical offers include a discount off your 1st month's storage.

Site visit
Why not ask to have a look around first before you choose. Check the security measures in place, ask to see a range of unit sizes and generally check that you are happy for your prized possessions to be stored at that centre.
