When you get itchy feet…


When you get itchy feet, consider storing in our square feet…


 I don’t know if you have looked out of the window recently, but it is pretty miserable here in the UK at the moment. We are all dreaming of sunnier, warmer climates and sipping on mojitos in a hammock under a palm tree. Many of us at some point feel like packing up and getting the next flight to Havana but unfortunately the reality of mortgages and rooms of furniture can bring us back down to earth fairly quickly. So, perhaps when you get itchy feet you should consider storing in our square feet to enable your travelling dreams to become a reality.

Most people would consider storing their valuables within self storage but what about your sentimental valuables? One anonymous member of our team here at Beehive has an irreplaceable ‘Yellow Ellie’, a yellow toy elephant given to her as a Christening present many years ago that she simply would not want to be without. Yellow Ellie may have lost some of her stuffing, an ear and is a little bit rough around the edges but it is these irrecoverable items that you may wish to store with us.
You may also feel that it is necessary to use a house sitter, now we aren’t the type of people who suspect everyone is a serial killer, but what if the house sitter’s dog took a particular liking to ‘Yellow Ellie’? You may arrive home to find just a lonely beady eye left. House exchanges are also becoming increasingly popular with those experiencing ‘Wanderlust’ which must involve a mutual feeling of trust between the two parties, but for peace of mind perhaps you would feel more comfortable storing some priceless or treasured belongings.

Imagine arriving off your long haul flight at Heathrow to find that your beloved Mona Lisa has ended up with a moustache and glasses at the unartistic hands of one of your teenager’s friends or your wardrobe has been raided and your designer dress has a suspicious stain that smells quite distinctly of cider and your daughter’s perfume. That just-off-holiday feeling has gone and I’m sure one thing would come immediately to mind – I wish we used self storage!

Our purpose built facility is clean, dry and insulated in such a way to prevent fluctuations in temperature which can lead to damp and humidity. You will have your own private unit that is easily accessible with trolleys and sack trucks available free of charge. We have a sophisticated alarm and monitored CCTV system to ensure your belongings are secure and we also offer insurance at competitive prices.

So why wait? If your travels last for one month or three years, we have various sizes of units to suit your storage requirements. You can store just about anything with us so whether you are renting your house for a long term trip and need to store a house full of furniture or whether it is your very own Mona Lisa or Yellow Ellie, you can store your items with at Beehive Self Storage in the confidence that they are safe and secure.
