Long Term Storage

If you are looking for long term storage, you will want to be confident that the facility you choose is of high quality and your treasured possessions will be kept in good condition.

Hamiltons’ new facility at Harleston offers the ideal solution for people in Norfolk and Suffolk, including those from the Diss, Stradbroke, Bungay and Halesworth areas, with quality self storage units to suit every need. Here we look at reasons for using long term storage.

Moving Abroad or Travelling

Many companies require their employees to work overseas. This means your contract might require you to live abroad for a fixed number of years and it can be inconvenient to take too many items with you, to cut down on the packing and unpacking, and the carrying en route.
Similarly, you might be embarking on a prolonged period of travelling, particularly if you are a student on a gap year. In both cases, using a self storage facility will help keep your possessions safe until you return.

Legacy and Heirlooms

If you inherit furniture and antiques, you may want to take your time over deciding what to do with them. You might not have space to use these items in your own home. Arranging long-term storage can take some of the pressure off. Putting items into storage can also give you added peace of mind if the heirlooms are valuable; the items will be more secure than they would be in your own home. 

Lack of Space

If you are just starting out on your own and don’t have space for all your possessions in your new home, then a storage room or container means you can keep the items safe. If you have had to downsize, putting items like furniture into long term storage will also give you breathing space until you decide what to do with them.

Hamiltons Safe N Stored – Ideal for Long Term Storage Solutions

The self storage rooms at our Harleston depot are the perfect solution for goods that require storing, but which you may also need to access. We have a range of room sizes, all of which are clean, dry and secure and can be accessed as and when needed.

All goods need to be insured, with a policy which covers unforeseen circumstances including theft, fire, mould and vermin. We offer a policy giving one of the best levels of cover available for self-storage customers, which includes new for old cover. Please contact us with a figure of how much it would cost to replace all the goods you are storing and we will then give you a quote. You can also arrange insurance elsewhere, and we will just need a copy of your policy.

Should you wish for your goods to be collected, we run a modern fleet of removal vehicles with fully professional staff, trained to meet the British Association of Removers’ Standards. These can be booked to collect your goods and bring into store.

Alternatively, we have small vans, which you can hire either for half a day or for a full day. To hire a van, you will need to have been driving for at least two years, have no more than 3 points on your licence and be aged from 25-75. There is also a refundable deposit of £150 to pay by card, and you will need to fill the fuel tank before returning the van.
