“I get asked that very often” explained manager of Falconer Removals, Nathan Smith.
It can be a very important question to ask before deciding to put some or all of your possessions in storage facilities. Although in most cases common sense will prevail, it’s important to be 100% confident before using storage in South Wales.
What should I not put in storage?
- No food or drink
- Paint
- Anything flammable
- Filled or empty jerry cans
- Plants
Here are some more details on those objects above:
Anything Flammable
This includes oils and gasses and they may be in tools you don’t know about such as lawn mowers or chainsaws. If you’re struggling to empty them, we advise simply surprising your next property owner by running the mower down on the lawn before storage – there’s nothing like turning up to a mowed lawn.
Filled or Empty Jerry Cans
Filled jerry cans explain themselves, however we often get questioned about why you can not store empty jerry cans. This is simply due to insurance – our South Wales storage facility is fully insured and to have that insurance cover we cannot store empty jerry cans.
The key takeaway here is that you should not worry, common sense often prevails when you are deciding what to store. But as always, give yourself plenty of time to prepare and pack to minimise any risks or potential problems
