In Chania, where construction activity and the renovation of older homes are booming, furniture storage during a renovation with a container is the cleanest and safest solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why furniture shouldn\u2019t stay in the work area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Piling furniture into one room and covering it with plastic sheeting seems practical, but it rarely works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dust and plaster get everywhere and ruin fabrics and wood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Humidity from paint, plaster and washing causes mould under the plastic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tradespeople need clear space \u2014 piled-up furniture slows the works down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The risk of scratches, knocks and accidents rises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The result:<\/strong> furniture that comes out of the renovation in worse shape than the house itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The container as a renovation solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You rent a container and clear the work area in one go. Two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>At your premises:<\/strong> the container is placed in the yard, on the plot or at an accessible spot near the house. You load at your ease, with no rush, and keep your things beside you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>At our facilities:<\/strong> if there\u2019s no space around the house, the furniture is kept in a secure area near Chania.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When the works are done, you return the furniture to a clean, refreshed home \u2014 undamaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of a container in a renovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Free working space: <\/strong>crews work faster and more safely in an empty space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Full protection:<\/strong> a watertight environment, away from dust, paint and humidity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time flexibility: <\/strong>renovations often drag on \u2014 keep the container for as long as the works last.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Load once:<\/strong> furniture goes straight inside, with no multiple transfers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Security:<\/strong> a locked steel structure you control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much space you need, by renovation type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends on whether you\u2019re clearing the whole house or specific rooms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>One- or two-room renovation:<\/strong> a 10ft container usually suffices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apartment renovation (two or three rooms):<\/strong> a 20ft covers all furniture and appliances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large detached house renovation: <\/strong>a 40ft or two smaller containers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical tips before you clear the house<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Disassemble bulky furniture (wardrobes, beds) to gain space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cover everything with fabric blankets, not plastic that traps moisture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack small items in numbered, labelled boxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add moisture absorbers, especially if the works involve water and plaster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep out of the container anything you\u2019ll need in the meantime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked
