How to Store Furniture in Wokingham

If you need to store furniture for any length of time, it’s important that you can ensure the pieces stay in good condition. Keeping your spare furniture or saved pieces in the garage, loft, or a spare room may be a temporary storage solution, but for long term storage, you will need a more suitable option.

Why choose SureStore for furniture storage?

Storing furniture in a self-storage unit at SureStore Wokingham is an ideal solution for many reasons, including if you’re

• Renovating your property and want to avoid brick dust or paint on your upholstery.
• Decorating your home and need some space to get the job done
• De-cluttering your home 
• Renting your home 
• Moving home and have experienced delays in the buyer’s chain
• Or, downsizing but aren’t ready to let go of your favourite furniture items

Our Wokingham self-storage units are clean, dry, secure and perfect for storing anything from an armchair to the entire contents of a family home. You’ll also benefit from a state-of-the-art security system with 24/7 CCTV, individual alarms in each unit and a remote access procedure to ensure no unauthorised people can access your stored furniture and possessions.

Choose the right-sized Wokingham storage unit

When storing furniture at SureStore Wokingham, it’s also important to choose the right-sized storage space for your needs, so you don’t damage any furniture by storing too much in the storage unit.
