How to Choose a Storage Unit That’s Right for You

Whether you're moving house, decluttering, running a business, or just need a little extra room, choosing the right storage unit can make a big difference. But with so many options out there, how do you know what’s right for you?

At StoreWithJoy, we help customers across Wrexham find simple, safe, and affordable storage, tailored to their needs. Here’s what to consider when choosing a unit that fits.

1. Know What You’re Storing (and For How Long)

Start by making a list. Are you storing furniture? Seasonal decorations? Stock for your business? This will help you work out how much space you actually need—and whether short-term or long-term storage makes more sense.

📦 Tip: If you’re unsure about how much space you need, we can help. At StoreWithJoy, we offer friendly advice based on what you’re storing.

2. Choose the Right Size

Storage units usually come in a range of sizes, and choosing the right one helps you avoid paying for space you don’t need.

• Small Unit (25–50 sq ft): Great for boxes, small furniture, and personal items.

• Medium Unit (75–100 sq ft): Ideal for 1–2 bedroom flats or small business inventory.

• Large Unit (125+ sq ft): Suitable for house moves or bulk business storage.

💡 Don’t overestimate. Most customers are surprised by how much can fit into a well-packed unit.

3. Check Security Measures

When it comes to storage, peace of mind matters. Make sure the facility is secure with:

• 24/7 CCTV

• Controlled access

• Strong locks and internal security

• On-site staff or regular inspections

🔐 At StoreWithJoy, our Wrexham facility is fully monitored so your belongings stay safe and sound.

4. Think About Access

Some units only offer limited access hours or require advance notice. If you think you’ll need regular or flexible access, choose a provider that makes it easy.

🚪 StoreWithJoy customers enjoy convenient access times that fit around their life, not the other way around.

5. Consider Climate and Cleanliness

Depending on what you’re storing (e.g., documents, furniture, electronics), temperature and moisture control may be a priority. Cleanliness also speaks volumes about how well a site is managed.

🧼 Our units are well-maintained, clean, and dry, because we treat your items like our own.

6. Look for Transparent Pricing (No Hidden Fees)

Storage should be simple. Watch out for tricky contracts, minimum stays, or extra fees for access, insurance, or padlocks.

💸 We believe in honest pricing. What you see is what you get, with no nasty surprises on move-in day.

7. Local Matters – Support Wrexham-Based Storage

Choosing a local storage provider means better service, quicker access, and a team that actually cares. We know the community because we’re part of it.

📦 Final Thought

Choosing the right storage unit isn’t just about space, it’s about safety, service, and support. Whether you're between homes, growing a business, or just clearing some space, the right solution should feel simple.
