Using self storage can be a great way to make some extra space around the home without having to part with your most loved family heirlooms.

But before putting these precious items into storage, don't forget to take out a proper insurance policy on them.

All the items that are placed into storage need to be covered for the duration of the time you are intending to keep them in there in order to protect against any unforeseen circumstances.

Although the key holder to the locker is the only person who can gain access, it may be a good idea to have full cover in place in case something happens to your most treasured possessions.

But there is plenty of security on site to prevent any harm coming to your goods, with 24-hour CCTV in operation and a manned reception desk keeping track of all the visitors who enter and leave the facility.
