Business partners Charles and Patrick worked with Kuboid on the complex conversion of the building to self-storage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Egg Box Storage is a recently established self-storage facility located in Middle Aston, off the A4260 between Oxford and Banbury.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Business partners Charles and Patrick approached Kuboid, a well-known company in the industry, to redevelop an old poultry shed into a self-storage facility.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe thought there was an opportunity to make more revenue per square foot out of this building by offering service to the general public rather than just letting it to a tenant,\u201d they said.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The pair were quickly impressed with Kuboid\u2019s commitment to the project and response time. A site survey was booked in the diary within a few days.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe came up with a design which was then significantly improved upon by Kuboid. They produced the plans and did a very good job designing it for us.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Once the site survey was completed, it was apparent that the long and narrow building, although small, came with multiple challenges due to its former use. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n When inspecting the building, Kuboid discovered that the floor was damp, and was uncertain whether the water was coming from the ceiling or the floor. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n To identify the source of the leak, Kuboid\u2019s project management team placed cling film on the floor overnight, which helped them determine that the leak was due to condensation from the floor.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Once this was resolved, the fitting team got to work to install the 35 units, ranging from 40\u2013150 sq ft. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It was decided that a mix of unit options would be best for the specific building.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Once the fit-out was completed, the company predicted that the units would fill very quickly, which proved to be true.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen Kuboid did the fit-out, they were brilliant. What I particularly liked was their positivity. We always felt reassured that we were going into the right business.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou could say, well, of course, Kuboid are going to say that, but they actually had good stats to back it up as to how well other customers had done and how quickly they filled their units.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n They added: \u201cFunnily enough, we\u2019ve just got planning permission to build some more units and Kuboid have been saying to us all along that as soon as these new units are built, you\u2019ll be coming back to us for more because you\u2019ll run out of space.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Despite the challenges that come with transforming an old building, the fit-out was completed in just two weeks. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Charles and Patrick said they were over the moon with the high-quality self-storage facility and decided to personally write Kuboid a thank you letter. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe haven\u2019t even started marketing yet, and people have already been in touch to reserve units,\u201d they said.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
