Mice infestation!!!!!
The storage unit itself is very run down and old however that didn’t bother me too much as long as my belongings were safe. I turned up to my unit on Saturday 28th March, I first noted a vermin trap in the hallways leading up to the unit, once I was inside, I found mouse on the floor of my unit, I was shocked and disgusted. I emailed the team straight away and they advised me someone had brought something into the unit which attracted mice but failed to acknowledge me on this? Management were rude and unhelpful advising me they thought they had contained the mice to a specific unit so they didn’t feel the need to let me know the whole storage unit on the SECOND FLOOR had an infestation? I was absolute disgusted as I had a lot of expensive furniture in that unit and there was no care or consideration? Within 3 days, I had gone back to the unit, cleaned everything, checked my belongings for damages, moved out straight away to a different clean, nice unit elsewhere and put in a formal complaint, the response I got from management was laughable, Never again will I store my belongings here and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to either.

Thank you for your feedback. Providing a clean and safe environment for customer belongings is our top priority. As soon as we were made aware of the issue we brought in professional pest control to resolve the situation caused by another customer storing prohibited items.
We were relieved to confirm that your items were not damaged while we were working on this and all items were covered by our contents protection service should the worst have happened.
We can understand why you chose to move your storage elsewhere but appreciate the custom you gave us. The incident has been fully resolved and preventative measures increased.

Value for money-excellent facilities.
If you're looking for storage facilities that are more than just storage then look no further!
Friendly and helpful staff, great facilities, and 24 hour access for no extra charge!
Store First Derby accept deliveries on my behalf, promptly notify me via WhatsApp and send pictures if I request them.
The 50% discount is great and I love the fact that I don't need to give notice to vacate. I have used a few storage centres around Nottingham and Derby but Store First Derby is the best by far.
I can take my laptop, sit in the canteen and enjoy a cup of coffee while I wait for my customers to arrive. Thank you Store First Derby for the great customer service and excellent facilities.

Derby Office
This company is very good. I was shown the different size units, taken to my unit and the fob entry was explained to me fully due to the alarm system when the office was closed.
Keep up the good work.
