Most things are fine to store. A few aren't, and it's almost always for the same reasons: they spoil, they're dangerous, or they're too precious to be anywhere but with you.
Never store these
- Gas cylinders, fuel cans, paint thinners and anything flammable
- Fireworks, chemicals or anything that could leak
- Food — including rice, sugar and pet food. It brings in insects.
- Plants or anything living
- Anything illegal, obviously
Better kept with you
- Cash, gold and jewellery
- Passports, title deeds and original contracts
- Prescription medicines
- Hard drives with the only copy of family photos
A bank safe deposit box is the right home for the valuables. For documents, scan everything and keep originals somewhere you can reach quickly.
Fine to store, with a little care
- Fridges and freezers — defrost, dry and leave the door slightly open.
- Mattresses — cover them and store on their side.
- Electronics — original boxes if you have them, wrapped if not.
- Wooden furniture — wrap in blankets rather than plastic so it can breathe.
Not sure about something? Ask us before move-in day. It's a much easier conversation then than at the shutter.
