Great facilities, some staff needs better training
An employee at this company recommended me an unverified source for a man and van business to help me move in, despite my clear request for the contact of a trusted business. The man with a van turned out to be a criminal who attacked me and he was arrested. Access Self Storage staff and facilities are great, including excellent CCTV security coverage, but that experience with the man and van scarred me, physically and emotionally. I am grateful for their support after the incident, but they can definitely improve on whom they choose to recommend to their customers!!

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.

Access Self Storage Stevenage
The staff at Access Stevenage are absolutely lovely. Unfortunately the company has decided that this location should close at 6pm on week days, 5pm on Saturdays and 4 pm in Saturdays. 6pm is too early during the week. When we rented a unit previously first in 2018-2020 and then 2022 to 2023 there was late opening. We did a move from Norwich on 19th March. The removal company packed up the Luton van by 2.45pm and we all arrived at Access Stevenage at 5.10pm. There was no way everything could be unpacked by 6pm. I did not have the required ID on me to arrange late access but the very kind (female) staff member stayed on late and we finished by 6.20pm. Whilst we were unpacking two other Luton vans arrived between 5.15pm and 6 pm and everyone was unhappy about the closing times. I wouLd suggest Access at least open until 7pm as it seems lots of people do try to get there after 5pm. It also made the move very stressful as the Norwich company would have been completely stuck had the Access staff member not kindly stayed open a bit longer for us. So 10/10 for the staff, but 5/10 for the company's opening hours

We understand that coordinating a long distance move can be challenging, and we are pleased the team were able to assist you when it mattered most. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for recognising the efforts of our staff.
Storage made easy by Luke and his team
We moved storage to Access Self Storage in Mancherster and I dealt with a fantastic guy by the name of Luke - who made the entire relocation run so smoothly. He assisted in every step of the way including forklift assistance on arrival. Nothing was a problem and Luke did what ever it took to ensure the day went to plan. Thank you

Lovely staff
James was lovely he helped make an already stressful situation into a pleasant one. I would and have already recommended Access Self Storage to my friends and family. Only downside is that you are not able to access your storage outside of office hours which can be awkward for those who want to move stuff in after work and not be restricted.Would recommend Access self storage considering extending access hours till about 8pm.

We also appreciate your comments regarding access hours. Our current hours are in place to balance accessibility with security and site management, but we understand that later access can be helpful, especially for those moving after work. Your suggestion has been noted and is valued.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
