Safe and Effortless Furniture Storage in Canberra

Kent Storage Canberra: The Safest Choice

We work hard to make sure your belongings are kept safe in our buildings, unlike self-storage:

• We do not allow the public to enter our storage facilities; this is in sharp contrast to leaving your things in self-storage facilities, which are shared buildings that anyone could enter.
• We create detailed documentation for your records at home; we provide inventory and condition reports as well as receipts and dispatch records. With self-storage, it’s up to you to make and maintain these records for your benefit.
• Our facilities have greater security demands than self-storage, bolstered by the fact that they are private buildings with limited authorised entry.
• We only use sealed storage containers, unlike self-storage units that use large-diametre wire meshes in their boxes. These gates provide more of an illusion of security as pests and climate threats can still pass through.
• We only build our purpose-built containers with reinforced steel, storing them inside our buildings secured by 24/7 CCTV monitoring. Reputable self-storage facilities may use CCTV but are still lax in other areas of security.
• Our professional packers have expert training to safely transport and store your belongings anywhere in Canberra or Australia. With self-storage, you don’t have the safety of expert help, which means it’s all up to you to figure out.

 

Kent’s Unique Four-Level Security System

Over the years, Kent Storage has refined its unique four-level security system to keep your belongings safe. We respect the trust our customers have placed in us, so we offer this sophisticated protection to everyone. As long as you trust us to protect your things, we will prioritise doing precisely that.

 

Security Level One: Customised Wrapping

The first level of protection comes in the form of our guardian wrapping system, which includes:

• Boxes built with the intention of protecting items in transit
• Professional packers with expert industry training
• The use of professional packing blankets built to protect large fragile items
• Heavy-duty removals-grade plastic for additional protection of soft furnishings, including chairs, mattresses, and couches
• Comprehensive inventory and labelling processes
• Custom crates built to protect fragile artwork

 

Security Level Two: Purpose Built Containers

Unlike our competitors in the self-storage industry, we use reinforced steel containers instead of plywood boxes at pickup. We load your belongings directly into the containers, and then we bring them to our state-of-the-art storage facilities. We rely on cranes and forklifts to move containers, eliminating the risk and expense of double handling.

Our containers are:

• Accessible at both ends with the aid of customised doors
• Purpose-built with reinforced steel for maximum protection
• Constructed with the intention of keeping valuables safe during transportation and storage

 

Security Level Three: Superior Storage Facilities

Kent Storage uses the most advanced undercover facilities in the Southern Hemisphere. We ensure superior security to self-storage buildings that are publicly shared and draw attention in Canberra. Our facilities are:

• Private buildings with limited authorised entry
• Monitored 24/7 with CCTV security and fire protection systems
• Climatised
• Purpose-built, state-of-the-art structures
• Free from pests, dust, and natural elements

Security Level Four: Storage Insurance

In our 70 years of servicing over a million Australians, we’ve learned that accidents can happen to anyone due to no fault of anyone else. The truth is that unforeseen things can occur during transit or in storage. Because of this, we offer storage and transit insurance to keep you completely protected in every event.

Our Ultimate Cover insurance gives you full risk protection against damage or the loss of items that occur due to accidents or other causes. Our insurance includes several layers of coverage:

• New For Old: Full replacement cost for lost or destroyed items. If the item is damaged, we will provide a reasonable cost for repairs. Keep in mind that we can only insurance computers, computer accessories, clothing, and motor vehicles for their market value.
• Pairs and Sets: Coverage for the damage or loss of one or more items in a set, including lounge suites
• Atmospheric and Climatic Conditions: Covers the damage or loss of items due to normal climatic conditions, including mildew and mould
• Electrical and Mechanical Derangement: Coverage for the mechanical or electronic derangement of goods due to external causes, except for motorbikes, motor vehicles, boats, and caravans

Canberra residents looking for cheap storage solutions with superior safety and security have found their match in Kent Storage. We are the most secure solution in the Southern Hemisphere and charge as little as half the cost of self-storage.

How does Kent Storage charge so little for a more comprehensive service? Unlike other storage businesses that demand higher overhead and per-metre property costs, we don’t make you pay for the privilege of having an entire storage container regardless of its contents.

We use a stackable containerised storage solution to cut costs without compromising safety and efficiency. That means you only have to pay for the volume that your items occupy in our facility. The more space your belongings take up, the more it costs; the inverse is also true. We automatically adjust your rates for you.

Are you planning to move to Canberra? You have two options for storing your furniture while moving into your new home or office: self-storage and full-service storage like Kent Storage.

With self-service, you pay a fixed monthly fee to rent out a container, and the relationship ends there. You’re responsible for taking care of transportation, packing, and delivery. You also will have to pay extra to get an insurance policy in the event of an accident during storage. On the other hand, with a full-service company, you make the payment and relax while we take care of the rest.

Deciding between self-storage and full-service means asking yourself a few basic questions.
