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.

I have used the storage at Cheltenham for nearly two years now and have always been glad I made the change from a large facility in Kingsditch. I recall leaving a glowing review of Casey and his team when I first took on the unit. Just yesterday I left a less than complimentary review but have discovered my frustration at the time was due to misleading info I obtained over the Internet and nothing to do with Wigwam. So that review is withdrawn and I continue to recommend Wigwam as a convenient town centre facility, well run and utilising a high tech, easy to use entry system.

I can no longer recommend this storage facility after being a customer here for a few weeks. The lift to the second floor has been broken for some time, and this is a serious problem - the stairs are too narrow to get anything remotely large up to your unit, which makes storing bigger items essentially impossible. For me, that defeated the main purpose of renting a locker here.

On top of that, the dolly trolleys are meant to be returned to a designated point after use, but in practice no one does this, so you end up hunting for one. Most of the time they’re left in a separate building I don’t have access to, meaning I have to walk around 50m through corridors and up stairs carrying my belongings just to reach my unit. I reported this to reception and was told they’d return the trolleys to the proper point, but nothing has changed.

Parking is another issue - the boxing gym attached to the building also uses the car park, so it often feels crowded.

Only use this facility if you’re desperate. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere.

Fantastic idea to use an app to gain entry. Once set up it's so easy to use and saves faffing around with keys and security fobs. My first visit was a revelation and is a definite encouragement to keep going back.
Well done Wigwam!!

Got a small lock up for short term use - getting set up was quick and easy. Introductory offer is also great.
All the team we've dealt with at Wigwam have provided fantastic customer service with some lovely personal touches. Our storage unit and the surrounding site is clean, well maintained and good value for money. I would definitely recommend.
