Self Storage Myths - Busted!

Self storage has changed a lot in recent years - but there are still a few outdated ideas floating around. At Think Storage in Lisburn, we hear these myths all the time, so we thought we’d set the record straight.

Myth 1: “Self Storage is Only for People Moving House”

Many of our customers use storage for other reasons - running a business, refurbing their current property, decluttering, storing sports gear, storing commercial stock or keeping seasonal decorations safe until they’re needed again.

Myth 2: “It’s Too Expensive”

When you compare the cost of upgrading to a larger home, renting a bigger office, or replacing damaged items, storage can actually save you money. Plus, our flexible sizes mean you only pay for the space you need. Go on - reclaim that spare room and even the garage too!

Myth 3: “My Things Won’t Be Safe”

With 24/7 CCTV, controlled access, and secure locks, your belongings are as safe with us as they would be in your own home - often more so.

Myth 4: “I’ll Never Be Able to Get to My Stuff When I Need It”

Our flexible access hours mean you can get to your belongings when you need them - perfect for both personal and business use. Your personalised entry code, sent to your phone from your move in day enables you control of the gate and door entry systems.

Myth 5: “It’s a Hassle to Arrange”

Booking with Think Storage is quick and easy and whilst can be fully automated online - so can be done any time of day or night, our team will walk you through the process, help you choose the right size, and even give tips on how to pack efficiently, or recommend removal companies to help you move in.
