What is meant by workspace?
A workspace is a secure, enclosed space that you use to actively work in, rather than just to store belongings. More and more people are opting for a flexible workspace outside the home for:
- odd jobs or tinkering
- vehicle maintenance
- work on projects or hobbies
- preparatory or support work
Renting a workspace is especially suitable for activities that do not require an office, but do require space, tranquillity and practical facilities.
What can you rent a workspace for?
The uses of a workspace are diverse. Below are the most common ways our clients use a workspace.
Key space
One of the most chosen applications is a key space. Ideal for:
- Car or motorbike maintenance
- tinkering with scooters or mopeds
- restoration projects (e.g. old-timers)
Thanks to the power and lighting available, you can work comfortably, without depending on weather conditions or street space.
Car warehouse
Are you looking for a small-scale car workshop for your own use? A garage unit as a workspace is suitable for:
- small maintenance
- cleaning and preparation
- change of parts
- Storage of tools and parts (e.g. tyres)
Heavy industrial work or commercial car trading are not covered. However, for hobby or support work, renting a workspace is perfect.
Hobby and craft space
Many people rent a workspace for hobbies that are difficult at home, such as:
- woodworking
- metalworking (light)
- model building
- restoration projects
- creative work
You have space to leave stuff, without having to clear everything out every time.
Workspace combined with storage
A workspace is often combined with storage:
- tools
- materials
- stock
- project components
This makes a rented workspace practical for self-employed people, DIY enthusiasts and craftspeople who do not need large commercial premises.
