What Are Household Storage Units?
Household storage units are dedicated spaces in a self-storage facility that individuals and families rent to safely store personal belongings. These units vary in size — from small lockers perfect for boxes to large rooms ideal for furniture, appliances, and full household contents.
At Clever-Store, our storage units are:
Clean and dry
Secured by CCTV and PIN/App access

Benefits of Using Household Storage Units
1. Free Up Valuable Space at Home
One of the biggest advantages of renting a storage unit is decluttering. Seasonal items, unused furniture, or excess kitchenware can all be stored away, giving your home a more open, livable feel.
2. Stress-Free Moving or Renovating
Storage units make moving house easier by allowing you to stage your home, store non-essentials, or safeguard belongings during renovations.
3. Security for Your Valuables
Our Hamilton facility is equipped with 24/7 CCTV, secure entry systems, and onsite monitoring. You can store your household items with confidence.
4. Flexibility Without Long-Term Commitment
With Clever-Store, you're never locked into a long contract. Store for as little as a few weeks or as long as you need — and scale your unit size up or down as your needs change.

Protecting your items is a top priority. Our storage insurance options ensure your belongings are covered against fire, flood, theft, and more.

How Household Storage Supports Insurance and Peace of Mind
When storing your belongings outside your home, insurance is essential. Our storage insurance at Clever-Store protects your items against:
Fire and smoke damage
Theft or attempted theft
Flood or water damage
Natural disasters (e.g., storms)
Plus, if you use dry storage boxes or moisture-proof packaging, your risk profile may improve, leading to better coverage terms.

Tips for Packing Your Household Items for Storage
Here’s how to get the most from your household storage unit:
1. Use Uniform Boxes
Stack easier and save space with boxes of the same size. Consider plastic dry boxes for added moisture protection.
2. Label Everything
Use clear, large labels with contents and room type. This makes retrieval simple later.
3. Disassemble Furniture
Remove table legs or bed frames to reduce space usage. Store screws and bolts in labeled bags.
4. Protect Fragile Items
Use bubble wrap, blankets, or towels. Pack delicate items tightly to prevent movement.
5. Leave a Walkway
Create space between box stacks so you can access everything without unpacking the entire unit.
