How to Choose the Right Storage Size in Newcastle

Do not guess your storage size

Choosing a storage size can feel tricky, especially if you have never used storage before. Too small and loading becomes frustrating. Too large and you may pay for space you do not need. The best approach is to think about what you are storing and how you will use the space.

U Hold the Key provides a range of storage sizes, so Newcastle customers can choose something practical for their situation.

Small storage needs

If you are storing boxes, student items, seasonal decorations, sports kit, small tools or spare household items, a smaller space may be enough.

This suits people clearing a cupboard, moving out of student accommodation or freeing up a spare room.

Medium storage needs

If you are storing furniture from a flat, business stock, tools, archive boxes or items from a renovation, a mid-sized unit may work better.

Think about whether you need to access items regularly. If so, leave a walkway rather than packing every inch full.

Larger storage needs

For full house moves, bulky furniture, business stock, trade equipment or vehicle storage, a larger container may be more suitable.

Large spaces are useful when you need room to move around inside and keep items organised.

Packing affects size

Well-packed items take up less room. Use consistent boxes, dismantle furniture where possible and stack carefully. However, do not pack so tightly that you cannot reach anything.

If you will need frequent access, choose a layout that leaves space to move.

Ask before booking

If you are unsure, use the U Hold the Key size guide or speak to the team. A quick conversation can help avoid choosing the wrong size.
