GB Storage was recommended to me by a neighbour, I couldn’t be happier with the unit, the process and the ease of the app and how friendly Karl is from start to finish has been in hand and even came to help when we first arrived. Couldn’t recommend this business enough. 💯

Reviews
GB storage is by far the best storage place I’ve ever had dealings with Karl who own it is a very nice man, he always responds to our messages if we have ever had any problems and he always makes sure that the issue is resolved. The units them self are very spacious, it’s clean & tidy inside, there is also trolleys available to help get big items to your unit which is very ideal. Where GB is based in Shaw on Duchess Street is easily accessible and has parking available outside
I chose GB storage was they were local but once speaking to the owner I knew it was the right decision. Karl was knowledgeable, approachable and extremely helpful. He helped me and my friend stack the first unit to gain maximum capacity. The prices of the units that I took were extremely competitive and were far cheaper than national companies. I wouldn't hesitate to use again and would definitely recommend to anyone needing storage units 👍
We chose GB Storage as a central hub for our charity, Defibrillators Save Lives, to store and collect equipment from – and we couldn’t be happier with the decision.From the start, Karl has been absolutely outstanding. He took the time to show us different unit sizes, which made it easy to choose the right one for our needs. The location is perfect – really easy to get to, with plenty of parking available.The storage facility itself is brilliant. It feels incredibly secure with all the right systems in place, and the electronic access makes it simple to share entry with our volunteers when needed. The high-tech security not only gives peace of mind that our kit is safe, but also ensures a safe environment for anyone accessing the unit.It’s the little touches that stand out too – Karl even leaves out trolleys and brushes to make moving and tidying up easy. That kind of thoughtfulness really makes a difference.5 stars without a doubt – we’d highly recommend GB Storage to anyone looking for a secure, accessible, and well-managed storage solution.
