Unsurprisingly, the number and size of the items you are looking to put into storage will obviously determine what size of unit you need. However, you might not know what that space equates to in terms of square feet.
In this blog, we’ll help you ‘unpack’ any potential confusion surrounding your storage requirements and offer you advice on what size of unit is most suitable for what you are storing.
Storage Options at GTW Storage
At GTW Storage, we offer four main storage options: Personal Storage, Business Storage, Student Storage or Document Storage.
So, whether you’re looking to store marketing material or stock, are required to retain archive documents or just need some space while expanding, relocating or decorating – we are here for you!
Personal Storage
You might be moving house, moving abroad, redecorating or just want to de-clutter and get organised!
We all have belongings that we don’t use every day but aren’t ready to let go of. Rather than having them fill up your loft, garage, spare room, wardrobe (or even corners of your everyday living spaces!) why not look at utilising self storage?
We’ve got a range of competitively priced personal self-storage options and we will always help you find the smallest space possible; so you only pay for what you need.
Personal Storage Unit Size
Roughly speaking, if you are moving house and have a 4-bedroom property, you will require approximately 120 to 200 sq ft of storage space. At GTW, prices start from £130 to £210 excluding VAT, per month.
If you have a 2-bedroom property, you will require approximately 70 to 90 sq ft of storage space with prices starting from £80 to £100 excluding VAT, per month.
Or, if your personal belongings would fill a Transit van, you will require approximately 30 to 45 sq ft of storage space which would cost between £40 and £55 excluding VAT, per month.
Business Storage
At GTW we know space is a valuable commodity for businesses. Regardless of what business-related materials you need to store, from pizza boxes to desks, we have a wide range of unit sizes.
Why not rethink your current business storage or warehouse and make smarter use of space? Whatever your requirements our business and commercial storage solutions can help.
Business Storage Unit Size
If you have a Luton van’s worth of stock to store you will require approximately 55 to 80 sq ft of storage space. At GTW, prices start from £65 to £90 excluding VAT, per month.
If you have an entire studio to store, prices start from £50 to £80 excluding VAT, per month for approximately 40 to 70 sq ft of storage space.
Alternatively, if your business materials would only fill a large cupboard, you will require just 8 to 25 sq ft of storage space which will cost between £17- £35 excluding VAT, per month.
Student Storage
University and college are fun and busy times, so you don’t want to waste too much of your student life sourcing suitable storage for all your belongings, when you discover your student accommodation isn’t spacious enough.
We understand your student storage needs. You want somewhere to store your things but don’t want to spend much time doing it or pay large amounts of money up front either. We help lots of students in and around Glasgow do just that every term!
Student Storage Unit Size
For example, if you have a locker’s worth of sports equipment to store, prices start from just £20 excluding VAT, per month!
Or, if you have slightly more possessions and don’t need them back until next term, you can make use of our Pallet Storage solution! You pack the pallet; we shrink wrap it and then store it in our secure pallet storage space. When you’re ready to reclaim your items, simply let us know and we will have the pallet waiting for you ready to be taken back to your student accommodation. Prices start at £37.50 excluding VAT per month, and if you have a valid student card, you can benefit from a 20% discount!
Document Storage
At GTW we offer an end-to-end document storage and retrieval system for your personal or business records and guarantee an efficient, secure and cost-effective service.
Storing your physical documents securely offsite, with a professional, secure document storage company like GTW, will significantly reduce the risk of a company data breach.
Although many businesses aspire to be paperless, the reality is that it isn’t an option for many business sectors.
Document Unit Storage Size
If you have a considerable amount of documentation to be stored, then you may need between 55 to 80 sq ft of storage space, costing between £65 to £90 excluding VAT, per month.
Alternatively, if your business files would only fill a large cupboard, you will require just 8 to 17 sq ft of storage space, with prices starting from £35 excluding VAT, per month.
