Reviews
I've had a container here for about 5 months or so now, absolutely great to say the least.You can go to the container "like a hotel" you simply book and go, they leave everything you need at the container. It's incredibly secure, with electric gates and on site security, the containers are dampproof and visually great (as opposed to the tatty rusted ones you occasionally see for storage, the ones here are painted and look fab). John and the sales team are superb too. Look no further.
Brilliant storage facility, we have 2 containers and had no issues in the few year we've had them. John is absolutely brilliant. Thank you!
Not happy what so ever .Went to get my motorbike bike out to go to work .& security had put there own lock on my container. When I asked what was going on I was told I hadn't payed my bill.thats why a separate lock had been put on .this made me miss my shift for work .The attitude of the security was disgusting. I phoned OBrian & was told I had an aggressive attitude towards the security. My bill comes out direct debit &is always paid correctly. And 2weeks on still haven't got a reason to why this happened. The customer service is none exsistent & I was made to feel at fault Bang out of order .
