Finding Car Storage In London And Essex
Monday, 29th November 2010
The need for secure, dry and easily accessible car storage is something we have seen increase over the last few years. There are many different factors which seem to be generating this increased demand. We are all living longer on average and the population is increasing rapidly, especially in London and the Southeast. With public transport unreliable and becoming more and more expensive cars are viewed by many as a more hassle free way of getting around.
With this increase in population house prices have also risen. Garages are valuable space that can be easily converted into additional living accommodation, either adding value to a property or negating the need to move as the family grows. Inner city apartment blocks have very few car parking spaces per unit, some with none at all.
With so many cars and so few places to park them, self storage units provide the ideal solution. Shipping containers in particular are strong, secure and a 20ft easily houses most average size vehicles. By choosing a store that is nearby your cherished car can be in safe hands, out of sight to thieves or vandals and kept clean and dry until you are ready to use it.
Some storage companies now specialise in this kind of business and offer on-site battery charging, weekly running and valets as optional extras.
For classic or high value cars conversions and modifications can also be carried out to the container, insulating them and adding heat, mechanical ventilation and lights if required. If you have the space why not find a cheap shipping container for sale and have it delivered to your premises. Their all steel design makes them inherently strong and with the addition of a lockbox secure.
