Thank you for your kind feedback, Sophie. We’re really pleased to hear our team could support you, especially at short notice, and help find the right storage and pricing for your needs.
We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Avoid.

Avoid.

Despite giving 3 weeks notice I would be vacating - they still make you pay the full month - with the ‘promise’ any unused days will be refunded.

I am still waiting for that refund that was processed on the 2nd May - and the store have no idea where is it or when it will be refunded.

Opening times are also really bad.

Chloe is very pleasant but massively let down by the store manager, who has a degree in copy and paste. There is a clear lack of any internal procesess or communication.

Hi Mathew,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration caused.

As part of the move-out process, access to the account portal was sent to you yesterday, followed by your PIN this morning. Once this setup is complete, refunds are typically issued the same day or the following working day.

We would also like to clarify that refunds are processed centrally, not at store level. The store team has been actively following this up with our accounts department to support you and keep things moving.

There was a slight delay due to the recent bank holiday, and while we always aim to process refunds as quickly as possible, our standard timeframe is within 14 working days — which your case is currently within.

We appreciate your patience and your kind words about Chloe, and we apologise again for any inconvenience caused.

Extremely smooth process downsizing from 100ft to 75ft. Very claer easy process. As long as you keep in communication with the team, you will never lose your unit. James Byrne, the manager of the Bracknell branch has been extremely helpful and accommodating, making the transfer very effortless.

Would highly recommend Bracknell Access Self Storage and James Byrne.

Unable to access storage units after 6pm

Friendly staff.
Unable to access storage units after 6pm which isn’t helpful.
Seems to be a charge for everything including accessing the unit you are paying for after hours.

Thank you for your feedback, David.

We are pleased to hear that you found our team friendly, but we are sorry that the access hours did not fully meet your needs.

Our access times are designed to balance convenience with the safety and security of all customers’ belongings. Extended access options are available and, in some cases, may involve an additional fee due to the increased operational and security requirements. These options are always clearly explained during the enquiry and sign up process, and the store team is happy to discuss them to find the most suitable solution.

We appreciate your comments and will ensure this feedback is shared with the relevant team. If your circumstances change or you would like to explore extended access, please do not hesitate to contact the Bracknell store directly, they will be more than happy to assist.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry to hear about the additional cost you incurred. However, we would like to clarify that our Saturday closing time of 5pm is clearly displayed online and in store, and the team have confirmed that access hours were explained during your move in.

We are always transparent about our access limitations, as these form part of how we are able to offer competitive rates while maintaining high levels of security for all customers. Extended access is not automatically applied to all units and must be arranged in advance where available.

We understand that moving days can be stressful, but the access hours in place were communicated and are consistently applied to ensure fairness and security across the site.

Everything went well with easy access to my storage unit

Thank you for your feedback, Patrick.

We are pleased to hear that overall access to your unit was easy, however we are sorry for the frustration caused at the end of the day.

Our records show that the move in began at 2pm, which provided four hours within staffed access time. Unfortunately, as closing time approached, the removal team had not completed unloading. For security and insurance reasons, we are unable to keep the store open beyond closing time, as this is in place to protect all customers’ belongings on site, and certainly not without advanced notice.

We understand it was inconvenient to return the following day, but our team must adhere to closing procedures to ensure the safety and security of the facility for everyone.

Super helpful team and a great move in experience. The team could not have been more accommodating and helpful for our move in. The office facilities are great and everyone just seems really friendly. We'd looked for ages for somewhere with offices and storage on the same site and so pleased we've found this. Very reasonable prices as well.
