Great Storage Facility

The staff are all very helpful and friendly and took extra care to make sure I understood the various procedures via the Company's App, which for a non-techy person was very much appreciated!

The storage facility is very clean and tidy and easy to access.

Access Hornsey N8

The facility staff gave me a fixed quote. However, as I was about to pay...the price jumped up. When I showed the staff the emailed quote from the previous day...I was told from 'That was a mistake'.
Having already booked a van, there was little I could do but agree to the contract. The facilty is a maze with low ceilings and narrow corridors. The very few rusty broken trollies are of little use and the staff not at all helpful. The faciity seemed hot and humid with intermittent lighting. The front doors were open all day, which raised security concerns with myself and the other people using it.
After I had given 14 days notice...I still received demands for the following month. Despite four follow up reminder calls..I am stiil awaiting some refund. Avoid this company. There is no policy. There are better facilities around.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations.

Prior to moving in, our team spent time with you across several visits, showing different unit options and discussing sizes, pricing, and available discounts to help you find the most suitable solution. Unfortunately, there was some confusion caused by an automated quote not updating correctly when unit sizes were changed, but the correct pricing was explained before your agreement commenced.

We do recognise your comments regarding the trolleys and agree there's room for improvement. New replacement trolleys have already been ordered and will be arriving shortly.

In relation to your refund, we advised that refunds can take up to two weeks to reach customers' accounts. However, after you vacated on 29th June, the refund was processed and reached your account on 3rd July, well within the advised timeframe and has now been with you for several days.

We're pleased that our team was able to assist you throughout your tenancy and regret that your overall impression was not more positive. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best for the future.

Great staff, efficient service.

Super customer service here at the front desk, friendly and extremely helpful when we came in on the day with difficulties with how much space we had left in our unit. The staff efficiently solved the problem giving options of different unit changes and with good prices, all sorted easily that morning. Really recommend.

Hi Mev,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you didn’t have to wait long and that our team member was friendly and welcoming once they returned.

As a small team, there are occasionally times when staff need to briefly step away from the reception desk to assist customers elsewhere in the building, but we always aim to return as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your understanding, and we’re glad we could put you at ease and make your visit a positive one.
