Renovating your home in Leatherhead can be exciting, but it often comes with challenges. Furniture can get in the way of contractors, be damaged by paint or dust, or take up space that you need to complete your project efficiently. One of the smartest ways to manage this is by using a reliable, stress-free storage solution. 

Wigwam Self Storage Leatherhead offers secure and flexible units that make it easy to store your furniture safely during renovations. With a variety of unit sizes, short- or long-term rental options, and easy access seven days a week, Wigwam ensures your furniture is protected while your home is being transformed. 

Here are all the essentials you need to know when looking for furniture storage in Leatherhead 

Why You Need Furniture Storage During Renovations 

Home renovations can range from simple updates, such as repainting or installing new flooring, to larger projects like kitchen remodels or home extensions. During these projects, having furniture in the way can slow down work, increase the risk of damage and make your living space chaotic.  

Storing your furniture off-site allows you to protect your belongings, create more space for contractors to work efficiently, and keep your home environment stress-free. 

Choosing the Right Storage Solution in Leatherhead 

When selecting a storage facility during renovations, it’s important to choose a provider you can trust. Look for a secure and flexible storage company that offers a variety of unit sizes to accommodate furniture of all shapes and sizes. 

Whether you need a small space for a few boxes and chairs, a medium unit for a single room of furniture or a large unit to store multiple rooms’ worth of items, a good storage facility should offer options to meet your needs. 

Consider whether the facility provides short-term and long-term rental options, so you can store your furniture for the duration of your renovation without any hassle.

Tips For Storing Furniture During Renovations 

Before storing your furniture, read these tips! 

  • Prepare Your Furniture Properly: Ensure all items are clean and dry before storing to prevent damage. Wrap delicate or wooden furniture in protective materials such as bubble wrap, blankets or padding. 
  • Maximise Storage Space: Disassemble large furniture where possible, stack items carefully, and use vertical space efficiently. Leave small aisles between stacks to access items easily when needed. 
  • Plan Your Storage Duration: Use short-term storage for quick renovations and long-term storage for extended projects or phased renovations.

Lenny was great at helping me get my storage over the phone, and was engaging and fun. I also received some help from a nice guy at the location; I think his name is Adam, a very lovely fellow. Friendly staff they've got. First time using a storage unit, and it was seamless to set up and easy to use the app without any confusion. The price was also really affordable, beyond what I assumed it would be, and I still got a 50% discount for the first 8 weeks. I highly recommend Wigwam.
