Smart Space operates throughout Belfast, North Down and Ards. Rather than you having to transport your goods to a traditional self storage facility to load and unload, we do things differently. We bring the storage to you. The Smart Space truck will deliver a self storage unit to your home or business for you to pack at your leisure. If you choose a traditional self storage company you still also have to figure out how to get your furniture or goods to and from your storage unit, usually by renting a van or employing a local removal company. There’s no need to hire vans or removal service to take your goods back and forth to a storage facility. The Smart Space service will save you time and money. Your Smart Space self storage unit can stay on-site with you for ongoing use for as long as you need. And when you want to get your items out of the way, we’ll pick up your Smart Space unit for storage at our secure self storage facility or take the unit to an address for you to unload if needed. We also sell a full range of boxes and packaging so you can order what you need and be well prepared for moving day. If you need help packing your Smart Space unit just let us know as we tailor your service just for you. The warehouse is equipped with CCTV and Alarms systems with remote monitoring including a police link. The premises are within a self contained gated compound.

After working within the Health Service for a number of years we saw a niche in the domiciliary care market we could fill. Having no formal training only using our people skills and what we had learned from our previous jobs within the then Eastern Health and Social Services Board. Essential Homecare Services was setup in a spare bedroom at our home address. We had worked for every nursing home in the area we lived to gain experience and knowledge of what people really wanted when it came to aspects of daily living. We had built up a private clientele which lead us to gaining our accreditation with the then Eastern Health and Social Services Board for all four trust areas. Our aim then was to provide the highest level of care to the most vulnerable people in our society and to train our staff to the highest level. We wanted to offer a unique and personalised service where we are hands on. We have achieved this and are now a successful family run business. Now we have now been accredited to all four trust areas 20+ Years. Our office is an efficient working office at Sketrick House , Jubilee Road, Newtownards. We were joined in 1998 by our daughter Suzanne who has undertaken a management role and an active part in the direct delivery of care to our service users. Our son Matthew has joined the business on a full time basis as our Operations Manager. We continue to remain a small independent family run business.
