Decluttering Your Home

Freeing up space – Ready Steady Store has the right storage package for every sized home

Your home should be your castle, but at the moment it’s a cluttered and messy one. The garage is spilling over with old tools and kids’ toys. The shed is full of gardening appliances, and the loft is a no-go zone. Your spare room is now a storage space full of plastic containers and old photo albums. It’s time to pull up the drawbridge to clutter and improve some of your living spaces.

How storage can free up space

If your space at home is limited, then storage is the ideal solution, especially for people who live in inner-city apartments. You may be thinking of upsizing because you need more space. However, you’ll put a strain on your budget by doing this. This is where using Ready Steady Store for your storage needs can help.

By renting a self storage unit from Ready Steady Store, you could create enough space to make your home feel brand new. You could use your spare room as a second or third bedroom for your growing family or guests. In addition, you can park your car in the garage or turn it into a man cave. Likewise, you can transform your loft into a conversion study or office. The possibilities are endless, but you need to take the first step by working out how to create more living space.

Ready Steady Store’s storage unit sizes explained

Not sure of what size you need? You can check using our size estimator. It gives you from 50 sq ft all the way up to 300 sq ft as well as giving scale examples of what this relates to. If you rent a 50 sq ft storage unit, you can fit approximately one room’s full of furniture inside. That equates roughly to half a garage or the number of items that fit into a transit van.

In real terms, this means you could remove half a garage’s worth if things from your house. That could free up a lot of space if everything is removed from one room. And this is just what you choose to store. If you had a thorough clean of your house, you could empty an entire garage full of items and then only want to keep half to remain in storage. Consequently, you’ve created almost enough space to make your home feel more comfortable and less cramped.

We have the right storage for everyone

Storage can improve anyone’s home or business. We work with hundreds of customers in Nottingham every year, and we take great pride in our work and our city. Ready Steady Store Storage offers a range of storage unit sizes that will suit just about any given situation. If you need to a short-term amount of storage for a gap between moving houses – we have you covered. Maybe you need to find somewhere to store your art, and you need to know it’s safe and secure. Ready Steady Store’s facilities offer tight security measures, and it’s something we take very seriously.

Our unique self storage units have a drive-up facility, making it easy to offload and collect things. In addition, we offer 24/7 access as standard, and every self storage unit has larger opening bays to assist with bulky items and security shutters with individual access lock for extra security.

Self storage units are designed to keep out the elements and prevent damage that houses and garage are more prone to. Our homes are not built to withstand heavy rain, and even a small fire can cause a lot of damage. If some of your possessions are valuable or can’t be replaced, then it’s vital that you consider how you store them.

At Ready Steady Store, we have the right storage for everyone’s needs. Moreover, we firmly believe that everyone benefits from the extra space that storage creates.

Our sustainability commitment

With climate change now at the forefront of most people’s minds, action needs to be taken. At Ready Steady Store we’re already taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint, a major factor in combating climate change.

Our latest tree planting initiative will see us reduce our footprint even further. That’s because trees absorb CO2, so they’re a great way to minimise the harmful effect of CO2 emissions on the environment. And with more trees planted, the closer we’ll be to achieving a carbon-neutral Britain, along with our goal to become a carbon-neutral business.

We’re doing everything we can to help create a sustainable future for the planet, and now you can help too. All you have to do is leave us a Google Review, and for every one posted we’ll plant a tree with our partner more:trees.
