Tariq at Safestore was absolutely amazing. His customer service was 10/10 from start to finish. I was having such a stressful day, but he went above and beyond to make sure that, even if everything else was going wrong, my experience at Safestore was fantastic.
He was friendly, professional and genuinely cared about helping. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and he made the whole process so easy and stress free. He completely turned my day around and honestly made my day.
A huge thank you to Tariq for the outstanding service. Safestore is lucky to have someone like him, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this branch because of the experience he provided.

Safestore Leicester has been excellent for our business over the past two years. The staff are always friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful whenever we need support. The facility is clean and well-managed, making it a reliable choice for small businesses. My only suggestion would be to offer existing customers the same promotions available to new customers. Aside from that, highly recommended!

This is an excellent storage centre. The staff are friendly and helpful, all areas and units are beautifully clean and look well maintained. Access could not be simpler with use of a fob and trolleys are provided free of charge, with a spacious lift available. I would not hesitate to use Safestore again and would certainly reccommend it to anyone.

The team at Safestore Charlton is amazing, Mark especially, have been always available to clarify any queries. I had prompt updates always from them by email. The unit provided has served well to its purpose, was exactly within the space that I required and very clean inside. I am an Estate Agent and stored valuable landlords property with peace of mind knowing that the items stored have been insured in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
I greatly recommend this storage facility, secured access, monitored, access 24h (although I didn't require late hours access, it is great to have should such need arise.). Robert, MD BELFERS Ltd.

I enjoy the staff at the Charlton Safestores branch. They are funny and so helpful and they always make you feel welcome. What I don't like about the changes that your company has made, is that when your contract is up you get your notification of the price increase but this does not come from the branch that deal with you on a regular basis and who knows you, but from HQ which means they don't know you and you have to start the process of seeing if you can get a cheaper price, which can be very stressful.
The notifications of price increases and negotiations should be dealt with by the branch you deal with on a regular basis, and the contract should be longer as well. Every year before Christmas I have to see if I can get cheaper price for my unit and not the 100 increase that I got this year. But apart from that I love the Charlton branch staff especially Mani.

Where soviet style customer service meets Safestore! I went there to send a DHL parcel, and it was made clear to me more than once that they were drop off point and had no interest in helping me further when there was an issue with DHL system. When I pointed it out, the older guy working there, who clearly had no excuse for his attitude, went on the attack instead that I don't wear a mask on the premises.
At no point, before that was mentioned and I did not notice a sign on the door. Saying that both staff members were maskless. Honestly, that put me right off using Safestore ever again.

The facility was clean and secure, with easy access during work hours. The woman who did my check-in and check-out was not the friendliest. I ended up overpaying because I didn't realise I have to give two weeks notice before vacating the unit. When I first booked the facility I said that I only require two weeks, but was told they take a payment for four and refund the unused portion. No refund for me though because I didn't read the small print!

I have always received fantastic service and assistance from all the staff. I would like to highlight the recent assistance from Mani Uppal who went the extra mille and provided lots of help and support to get the right deal. I would highly recommend Charlton Safestore - I do not see a better place to keep my stuff - Thank you

Mark and his team have always been so helpful with my storage needs over the years, finding the best unit to suit my need and also the best price. You are always greeted with a smile and I feel they genuinely care about their customer service, it is always a pleasure to see them. I've never had any problems with Safestore Charlton, the building has always been secure, clean and tidy, and everything has stored well, even fabric items. I would highly recommend them for short or long term storage.

Anil and the team were literally amazing helping us with a very large and unconventional storage requirement, which we had to find a solution for at the last minute. The guys made a very stressful situation a lot easier from start to finish and for that we are very grateful, and would recommend them to everyone! Second to none customer service at Leicester Safestore.
