The benefits of self storage

Creating space

There are times when the things we own begin to outgrow the homes we live in. You might inherit some furniture that you love, but may not have the space to display it. Over time we can accumulate things we need but don’t use very often. If your house isn’t designed with storage in mind, this can be an issue. If you plan to declutter, think twice before making decisions you may regret. Easy Store offers an alternative solution.

Peace of mind

A lot of people own items of some monetary value. But how confident are you about the security of your home? Would you feel greater peace of mind at night if the items were somewhere else? If your answer to the last question is yes, secure self storage could be the perfect option for you.

Storage for business

In these unusual times, more and more people are working from home. For some that isn’t a problem. But what if you need to store stock or equipment, or other business items you don’t have room for at home? Many companies are buying stock now to avoid potential price rises when we leave the EU. The problem is, where do you store it? Easy Store can provide a convenient and cost-effective solution for self storage in Norwich.

Self storage and moving house

Research has shown that moving to a new home is one of the most stressful events you will experience. When making a move, items such as beds, washers and tables & chairs are obviously essential. But you may decide that some items are no longer needed. Placing this ‘clutter’ in secure storage will allow you to make that decision later rather than during the move. Packing for the move will be much easier. And you can organise your new home without having to negotiate boxes of stuff you won’t immediately use. You may want to unpack slowly, working your way around room by room. That’s going to be far harder if every room is full. There may be some renovating or decorating to do. Boxes full of pictures and ornaments won’t help. Decluttering your home before putting it on the market could also help you to sell it.

Easy Store offers the perfect self storage solution, from small domestic items to large vehicles. Contact us to book a secure unit in Norwich.

How To Store Your Motorcycle Safely

When winter approaches and the conditions become less conducive for riding, it becomes necessary to look at options for motorcycle storage. Keeping your motorcycle safely stored away means more than just throwing a cover over it for the winter. You will want to make sure that your motorcycle remains in pristine condition, ready for the warmer months. Your motorcycle is a valuable investment and taking steps to maintain it will ensure it continues to perform well in the long term. We recommend the steps below for proper motorcycle storage during the winter.

Steps For Proper Motorcycle Storage

To maintain your motorcycle before it goes into storage, we recommend that you do the following:

  • Thoroughly clean off any dirt or debris from your motorcycle. Your motorcycle will not be going anywhere for a while, so now is the perfect time to get it looking its best. In addition, any dirt or stains can become harder to remove and may corrode the surface if left through the winter.
  • Change the oil and replace the filter. Old, used oil can corrode the engine over the winter months Plus, fresh oil will allow you to get back on the road as soon as Spring arrives.
  • Lubricate any moving parts with a light coat of oil. This will help protect your motorcycle from rust caused by a build-up of moisture.
  • Fill up your tank and add fuel stabiliser. A full tank will ensure no moisture can get in and damage the internal walls. The fuel stabiliser will make sure the fuel remains good quality throughout the winter.
  • Remove the battery and attach it to a trickle charger. Even when not in use, your battery will lose charge. So, removing it and attaching it to a trickle charger will ensure a small, steady supply of power throughout winter.
  • Check your tyres and use a stand. Making sure your tyres are at the correct pressure will help them retain their shape throughout the winter. In addition, placing your motorcycle on a stand will prevent the risk of tyre wear or flat spotting.
  • Check and replace all break/clutch fluid if needed. Check your coolant system and apply anti-freeze, to protect your motorcycle from water getting in and freezing.
  • Use a breathable cover for your motorcycle. Avoid using plastic as this traps moisture inside, leading to mould and corrosion.
