In this video, we explain the lengths we go to to keep your things so secure. Nothing is more important to us than the security of your stuff. Let’s face it if a self store company doesn’t have a great security record, they’re not going to get many new customers!

If you aren’t able to watch the video, we’ve given you Julian’s words below it.

Julian answers questions like:

  • Why do you ask storage customers for ID?
  • When can I move my stuff into strorage?
  • Will my stuff stay dry in self-storage containers?
  • What kind of padlock do you recommend for self-storage?
  • Do your self storage units have CCTV and lighting?

And many more questions besides.

Here’s what Julian has to say:

If you’re looking for somewhere safe and secure to store your stuff, you’ve found the perfect place.

We have a state-of-the-art security system so no one can beat our record on security.

So how do we keep your stuff so secure? Security starts at sign up. We want to make sure we know exactly who all our customers are for everyone’s safety and security. That’s why we ask all our new customers for ID.

We are proud members of the Self Storage Association, so we meet their high standard of professionalism.

Once you’ve signed up, you can move your stuff into your dedicated unit whenever you’re ready.

The containers are designed to keep electrical goods dry at sea, so you can be certain your stuff will be stay dry whatever the weather. The containers are made from COR-TEN steel, which will never rust through and can’t catch fire, unlike warehouse self-storage centres.

Once you’ve moved in, simply lock your stuff safely away.

We supply you with a high security, heavy-duty padlock. It’s designed to be saw-proof and pick-proof. The padlock is housed within a steel lock box to prevent tampering. You are issued with the only two keys for this lock, so you have complete control over who has access to your stuff.

The rows of containers are floodlit for safety and security during the hours of darkness. They’re under the watchful eye of our CCTV cameras, 24 hours a day.

During opening hours, the gates are always open. When the site is unmanned, the gates will be closed. You are given your own unique access code, so that you can come and go as often as you like, 24/7.

Nothing is more important to us than the security of your belongings. Since we first started looking after our customers’ stuff back in 2002, thousands of them have trusted us to look after things safely and we’ve never let them down.

Welcome to a whole new world of storage ????
