Typical self storage in London is comprised of large metal lockers (about the size of a small room) where people may leave their things for a specified amount of time. Usually, people will look for self storage that is secure, clean, and dry. Most  self storages charging their customers on a month-to-month basis (much like rent); however, long-term leases or legal agreements are also a possibility. Finding affordable self storage in London may be quite a challenge, however, with our tips, you will have a short list of sensible possibilities that may meet your needs and preferences…

Affordable self storage in London.

One great place to seek out self storage that is safe and private is Big Yellow Storage – this company also features a range of other retail locations in the greater London area. Many people enjoy de-cluttering their residences by storing excess stuff in a secure self-storage unit. Each unit will hold quite a bit of furniture, bric-a-brac, clothes, sports gear, and electronics. If you’re interested in streamlining your lifestyle, you will really appreciate the benefits of convenient and affordable self storage. Sometimes, items have great sentimental value (or resale value), but you just don’t have room for them in your home. Everything you don’t want to throw away is ideal content for a typical self storage locker. In general, you will not find self storage locations in London’s posh areas, such as Maida Vale or Chelsea – these high-rent regions are prime real estate…to get better deals on self storage in London you should consider hitting London’s most populated suburbs, or areas where the price of storage is not so elevated.

Another popular self storage in London company is Safestore Self Storage. This company, like Big Yellow Storage, features a website where prospective clients may email representatives to ask for a quotation on services. If you’re curious about the cost of self storage, along with the specifications of each available storage locker or container, sending a quick and simple email is a great way to save yourself a lot of legwork, or a lot of time spent talking on the phone.

Now that you have a short list of two appealing options, you can begin to plan out your self storage in London goals and then make them a reality. Whether you’re downsizing from a house to an apartment, or simply getting rid of  furnishings and hand-me-downs, a storage unit is always a great way to avoid throwing out things that you may want to use (or sell) later on…

A general rule to remember on carton size – the heavier the item, the smaller the carton. The final weight of the carton should not exceed the average adult strength of approximately 25kg. Remember your removal man is only human. Do not use oversized boxes (typical size box is 45 x 45 x 45 cm)

Fill all removal cartons to the top without overfilling. Cartons with items sticking over the top cannot be properly closed or stacked, cartons that are under filled tend to crush when stacked. Always make sure each carton is filled totally to the top before closing. Any spaces can be filled up with scrunched up butcher’s paper, towels, blankets or other similar items.

Using a felt marker to clearly label each carton with its room, brief description of contents. Labelling the cartons on their sides rather than the tops makes it much easier to find the one you want they are stacked. If a carton is packed in a manner that requires it to be always kept in an upright position, draw arrows on each side indicating which way it is to be place up. Any cartons containing particularly fragile items should be labelled accordingly.

Mark all boxes with your name and destination address.
• Be sure to have plenty of “filling/padding” material available.
• Be sure that the bottoms of all cartons are secured and will hold the weight of the contents.
• Packing tape or gum tape is better than masking tape.
• Pack heavier items toward the bottom of the box and lighter items towards the top. It’s better to transport them.

Please stack all the boxes in the hallway or pick one room to keep them together. This way we can load it faster and provide more efficient service. If you live above the ground floor and there is a lift, please make sure that all your belongings will fit into the lift, if not you need to let us know. In the buildings without the lift make sure we can take everything thru the stair case.

Sending only one man allow us to keep the costs low. At the same time we can assure you that our service is professional and reliable.

Demenagements Londres Paris

Londres , située au sud-est de la Grande-Bretagne, est la capitale et la plus grande ville du Royaume-Uni, elle fut également pendant des siècles, la capitale de l’Empire Britannique. Fondée il y a plus de 2 000 ans par les Romains , Londres était la ville la plus peuplée du monde au XIX siècle, et le Royaume-Uni était le plus vaste empire du globe. En nombre d’habitants, Londres est aujourd’hui largement dépassée par de nombreuses mégapoles mais, de par son rayonnement, elle reste une métropole de tout premier plan. Centre politique, siège du Commonwealth, Londres dispose d’une puissance économique considérable, due notamment à son statut de premier centre financier mondial.

Le Grand Londres compte 7 512 400 habitants, appelés Londoniens. Il réalise 19 % du produit intérieur brut du Royaume-Uni. La conurbation abrite 8 278 251 habitants. Selon différents critères on peut évaluer la population de l’aire métropolitaine, sa zone d’influence directe, à 12 ou 14 millions d’habitants. En Europe, seules les agglomérations de Moscou et de Paris ont un poids démographique comparable.

Londres est dynamique et très diverse sur le plan culturel. Elle joue un rôle important dans l’art et dans la mode. C’est aussi une importante destination touristique. Elle reçoit 27 millions de touristes par an et compte quatre sites listés au patrimoine mondial ainsi que de nombreux monuments emblématiques : le Palais de Westminster, le Tower Bridge, la Tour de Londres, l’Abbaye de Westminster, le Palais de Buckingham mais également des institutions telles que le British Museum ou la National Gallery.

A general rule to remember on carton size – the heavier the item, the smaller the carton.

Here is a list if materials you will need:
• Cartons.
• Plenty of clean Butchers Paper for wrapping items and padding.
• Packaging Tape for securing cartons.
• Markers for writing on cartons.
• Scissors or a sharp knife for cutting tape.

Turn the carton up side down & fold in opposite flaps, do not interlock. We recommend that you tape both ends and also down the centre of each carton.

Using a felt marker to clearly label each carton with its room, brief description of contents. Labelling the cartons on their sides rather than the tops makes it much easier to find the one you want they are stacked. If a carton is packed in a manner that requires it to be always kept in an upright position, draw arrows on each side indicating which way it is to be place up. Any cartons containing particularly fragile items should be labelled accordingly.

Fill all removal cartons to the top without overfilling. Cartons with items sticking over the top cannot be properly closed or stacked, cartons that are under filled tend to crush when stacked. Always make sure each carton is filled totally to the top before closing. Any spaces can be filled up with scrunched up butchers paper, towels, blankets or other similar items.

Time will be saved on your move if you arrange your cartons of similar size four to five feet high, in the one area, not blocking any access to exits or furniture. The garage is usually the best place for these.

Make sure that your transport provider has all accessories that allow him transport your scooter or motorbike in a safe way (special ramps to load on and off, straps to secure your motorbike, blankets and covers to avoid any damages or scratches.). Next thing is to ask about insurance – you don’t want to find out that your £10.000 Harley was insured only to the limit of a couple hundreds of pounds or not at all.

What do you need to do before sending the motorbike.
- get copy V5 certificate with your name on it – this must be provided latest on collection of your bike.
- drain it. Basic stuff but not many people remember about it.
- make sure you have a spear key.

Now you can call us and arrange collection:)

When you are choosing the removal company you must know what type of transport service you are looking for.

The idea is to find your place within this range to suit your budget and your needs. But at the same time you have to make sure you can trust them and make sure this is not a cowboy company. So what to do to make sure you have picked the right guys?

Try to find a transport company offering a lot of free services like:

- short term storage (this will give you some time to go across and organize everything before delivery arrives)

- mattress covers (double mattresses are heavy and in transport process can be easily damaged or get dirty if not covered with special plastic cover)

- insurance included in the price – you may be surprised how much some people can charge you extra for all that.

- another thing to look after is door to door service, with this type of removal you know that your boxes will arrive right to your new flat.

- make sure that the company you have chosen holding a professional goods in transit insurance policy and have accessible terms and conditions.
