The move in experience was fast and easy. Both Mike and Olly were very professional and easy to work with. If you have a lock bring it with you when you check in, it will save you 8 quid

From the outset the whole process was simple. Excellent communication, importantly listening to my specific needs for a short term storage solution to store a kitchen. The staff were all pleasant and knowledgeable and the office space clean and welcoming. Access times are clearly displayed and the process for Entry and Exit was easy to understand. The storage units themselves are all new and in tip top condition. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Well done Alex and team

Only started using the facility today but it was a good experience. Alex was friendly and informative. A completely stress-free day in a situation that has been very stressful I will write another review when we are moving on from the storage facility. So far, so good

We are very pleased with Storage World. The location is great and most importantly they offer a range of services ideal for start-up businesses along with friendly and helpful staff on site. The electricity set up in my storage unit was quick and efficient. Furthermore, the site is very secure, and very clean which is extremely important for our business purposes. There are plenty of trolleys available and a pallet truck to move stock. I highly recommend Storage World!

Olly and Tricia were so helpful and really sympathetic to the awful situation I found myself in (my whole fly flooded thanks to the storm ripping the roof off) they organised my unit, managed a last minute change to the size of the unit. Showed me around, helped me with the boxes I needed and a lock. They even recommended a man and van (Chris and Van) he was also really nice and very helpful. All in all they made it a lot less stressful and for that I am very grateful. Unit has cameras everywhere and a secure fob system for coming and going. Five stars from me!

I needed a small office for my business and Storage World was a great fit. Very friendly and accommodating staff who are always happy to help. Good sized office with WIFI and electricity included meaning there is no extra bills. In a great location for me and always parking and trolleys available to move stock. I'd definitely recommend the offices provided to a small business looking to grow!

The team at Storage World provide an excellent service. The store is secure, clean and dry. They provide a range of unit sizes and have a forklift, pallet trucks and trolleys onsite to make the process of moving items in and out your storage unit easy. A great solution for any business or domestic customers, would highly recommend.

Mike and the rest of the team have always been really helpful! Great place to run a business from, the parcel room for couriers to pick up and deliver is hugely beneficial and the building is always clean. We've been here just over 2 years now.

Tricia was extremely knowledgeable and gave great advice to direct me to the best room size for my needs. Tricia was helpful and patient and showed me different spaces when I couldn't visualise what she was explaining to me. Setting up my contract was quick and simple and being able to pop in for boxes and other items has been a god send. You always get a warm welcome when you go to site and I am more than happy with the Covid measures they have in place.

I have just taken a unit at Storage World and the organisation and helpfulness of the staff has made it a very easy process. Fully informed on how to get to my unit, including entry and exit information. Ease of access and knowing that our goods are securely looked after was a main reason for us choosing this company. Well recommended.
John Porter
Staff were so helpful. They helped me get the size I needed, rather than trying to oversell. Couldn't fault them at all!... And the price was spot on too... All in all, a cracking service all round... A very happy customer!
Kevin Studholme
Very helpful staff who advised on the best storage unit to go for, which meant I got a slightly smaller and cheaper unit than I thought I would need!
Claire Mullan
Excellent service and exactly what we needed for storage when we were in the process of moving house. Great prices also. Thanks

I rented storage from Flexispace last year to store my belongings while moving to a new country. The staff were very experienced, exceptionally helpful and friendly. They are very flexible (as the name would suggest) with their storage plans and the building is immaculately clean. Overall a stress free and enjoyable experience, highly recommended!
Lucy Howard
Flexispace is very conveniently located and excellent for storing both small and large items. The staff are very friendly and helpful and when I need storage again I will not hesitate to go back. It is also very competitively priced and extremely good value for money.
Rob Ellis
Our experience with FLEXiSPACE has only ever been positive. From the day we first enquired we were assisted by friendly staff who listened to our needs and found the perfect solution for us. Ever since, nothing has been too much trouble and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone! Great service.

Having never used storage before I was completely unsure of how the process would work. During a stressful time moving house the staff made everything so easy and assured me that I could come and go as much as I needed until the house was ready. Thank you for everything, would highly recommend!
Dean Pendleton
Only popped in for a few boxes, reasonably priced and the staff excelled. We went to a unit to collect a complete bundle that were still strapped up so they were easier for me to carry, and the lady even carried them out to my car and helped me load it. Couldn't have asked for more.
Rob Henry
Very helpful and friendly. Helped us to find the right size storage that was best for our business, at a very reasonable cost.
