Home renovations have become very popular over the last two years. Due to the pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns, people have been forced to spend more time at home. Working and studying from home has become the norm. More time at home means noticing more problem areas in and around your home. You may feel your kitchen layout could be improved, bathrooms renovated, or a dedicated working space be created for your home office.

Once you have decided to renovate, sorted out your design plans and found your trades people that will do the work for you, you need to solve the problem of where your furniture and household goods will go as you will have to clear these spaces so that the builders tilers and the others can do their thing.

There are a few options open to you. You could pack your furniture in the areas of your house on which you are not working. But the dust from renovating gets in everywhere and your furniture can be ruined by it. If the workers have to work around your furniture expect it to get scratched and dented. A worker will never be as careful around your belongings as you would be, so it is better to clear everything out of their way and give them a blank slate.

The easiest solution for what to do with your furniture and belongings would be for you to hire a self storage unit at Stop & Store Penrith. You can hire one for as long as you need it, and in the case of your renovation running past its expected date of completion (which they inevitably do), at least your self storage facility is flexible enough to keep your belongings until your renovation is finished.

Main Reasons for Renting a Self Storage Unit

  • Ensuring that your household items are secure. While renovating there is the possibility that some parts of your home could be left vulnerable to intruders. You may be replacing doors, windows, walls, or roofing which means that your house cannot be locked and secured from passers-by. If your roof is being worked on there is the danger of the weather causing damage to your stuff.
    Our self storage facility in Penrith offers good security so you can rest assured that your goods will be safe, and they will also be out of harm’s way as far as the weather is concerned.
  • Decluttering the space so that you can renovate. If workers have to push your furniture around and work around household items, you can be sure that your stuff will be damaged, scratched and dented. The dust, cement, and paint will also cause damage to your belongings.
  • Moving your furniture out will allow the trades people to concentrate on the renovations rather than dodging pieces of furniture and tripping over them. So make their lives easier during the renovation and move your belongings into a self storage unit..

Here are some hints and tips to remember while you are organising your stuff for storage during your renovation.

  • While packing up your belongings into boxes please remember to label each box clearly and in detail. This will help you greatly if you need to locate stuff while it is still in storage, and it will also make unpacking a breeze when your renovations are over, and life can return to normal.
  • Pack the boxes in order of which room they come from and keep boxes from the various parts of the house together. This will also make your unpacking much easier.
  • Using a storage unit will relieve you of much of the stress that a renovation can bring you. It gives you one less reason to worry because at least you can be sure that your belongings are safe from being damaged and stolen. Instead you can concentrate on choosing the perfect tiles for your new bathroom, the correct shade of paint, or the best kitchen cupboard for your brand new kitchen.
