When you're in a relationship the last thing you want to hear is 'I just need some space'.

However, from time to time we all find ourselves needing more space, although here we are talking about space for storage.

At Kent Space - modern and purpose-built self-storage sites in Chatham and Ashford - we carried out some analysis of the reasons why our customers needed to rent one of our self-storage units, and it was very revealing.

Here's the top five reasons our clients rent a self-storage unit from us

• Top of the list came small businesses needing extra space.For some customers had found it impossible to find office premises with any form of nearby storage facility either for archived documentation, products, display and promotional materials and the like. The one common consensus was that with such high rents for office space it made no sense to rent an extra room just to be used as storage.

• Next came small businesses who were struggling to find room to store stock. Having a shop or outlet in a town centre may be great for attracting customers, but with rents for retail space so high, often it can become financially uneconomical to take on larger premises simply so you can have on-site storage.

• When people decide to sell their home because they have run out of space, it's becoming increasingly common to de-clutter as they try and sell their home. This is where self-storage can help, as although de-cluttering is a good opportunity to get rid of some ‘rubbish’, much of what is placed into store is still wanted - and the very reason why a new home is needed.

• Some customers need to put complete households in storage - lock, stock and two kitchen sinks included. Such circumstances can arise from a delay when moving house, relocating to furnished accommodation, or using self-storage when moving abroad.

• Last on the list, but still an extremely popular reason for using self storage is the fact that a good number of people simply can't find room for all their things. Sailboards, surfboards, mountain bikes, winter or summer clothes, children’s toys - self-storage can help avoid the downside of living in a flat or small house.

Oh yes, we nearly forgot. There's another reason people need extra storage - they simply want to be able to get the car in the garage!
