Store First Self Storage Avis 1 028

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean secure facility with great prices. One stop shop. 100% would recommend!

Great service

Alfie was really helpful, showed me a couple of units so I could make an informed decision and was really informative. I want to say quick and efficient service with a smile

It was easy to sort out and the staff were very helpful.

Easy and efficient! Great value for money

Very prompt service value for money

Lovely staff, very helpful. Unit clean and climate controlled. Good intro price.

Great team there great service

Polite, and helpful staff. Easy booking in procedure, good price & very flexible.
The units are clean and secured with a sturdy padlock for peace of mind. The security is excellent, screens monitored by reception.
Should be marketed as Castleford, not Wakefield. The Freeway Park is 10 mins drive from Castleford town centre, so very convenient for me in LS25 East Leeds - Kippax, Allerton Bywater, Garforth. Plenty of parking.

Liam was very welcoming and took our details, payment and showed us to our unit in a very professional and friendly manner.
The unit was extremely clean and easy to get to from the lift and there were plenty of trolleys for our use.

Brilliant service start to finish from the Linwood branch. Initial enquiries answered quickly & all information relayed in clear no-nonsense manner.
Experience at the store equally as impressive, all staff I have encountered really friendly & efficient. (Special shout out to Ross & Liam for their patience late on a Sunday afternoon 👍) Paperwork process simple & again everything explained clearly.
The facility itself is top-notch, easy access to storage areas, good lift provision & plenty trolleys available. Units are well lit & spotless. 24 hour access available using the provided security fob is a major bonus so you're not restricted to access during office hours only.
Highly recommend.

Very friendly and informative

I tend not to leave reviews often, but this place easily warrants it. I used a large unit for two months earlier this year due to an unanticipated property move. This place was the only part of the entire process that had zero stress or pressure, when navigating the logistics of everything to do.

Firstly, this is not the cheapest storage place in the area, which you possibly already know. However, when checking alternatives, I had suspicions it would be a false economy to go elsewhere and lose the services this company provide - and after using this place for several months and completing the move, my suspicions were easily warranted.

Sign up procedure: Quick and easy. No upfront deposit required. You just pay upfront for 4-week blocks, but you can stop with 1 day notice and they will refund you any unused days once your unit is empty.

They provide:
One free large van collection if you are a new customer and local to the area. This was a game changer as it substantially reduced the cost of a self van hire or removal firm to move things in (and further justifies their rates). Their van will arrive at your location at an agreed day/time, let you load their van in the order you prefer, and then drive back to the storage place for you to unload.

24/7 access. This was also a game changer as most competitors had limits on access days and times. Even if you intend to operate within Mon-Fri 9-5, things can go wrong (motorway closures, road incidents, delivery companies don't arrive on time etc... or maybe you simply forgot the odd item). I spent most of the moving time in the early evenings and weekends which suited my schedule and helped immensely.

Free padlock. Not much for some - but it saves hassel until you can grab your own if you didn't arrive with one.

Large loading bay. I ended up visiting about 20 times all told. There was only once when I needed to wait 5 minutes until a parking bay became available on an exceptionally busy weekend. All other times there was plenty of space.

They provide small and large flatbeds and lift forks to help shuttle everything from the loading bay into your unit. I had no issues moving anything from small tubs through sofas.

A shop with boxes, protective packaging, dust covers, tapes and other items. Useful once everything is in place if you notice you misjudged storage plans! They also have large TVs showing 24/7 CCTV monitoring for your peace of mind.

A PO box/recipient service if you need anything delivered here directly (I didn't have a need for this myself).

Toilets and a kitchen room with free tea/coffee, vending machine, microwaves. This really helped with the larger moving days!

The building is also kept very clean and tidy - it was actually surprising when I first arrived given the nature of their business.

The team themselves are also very cheery and helpful. Rob, the manager of the Preston location clearly knows his craft, as well as predicting the kinds of queries or concerns customers who are in the process of moving house may have.

I would definitely use this facility again in the future if/when needed.

Very welcoming and helpful. Really good experience and efficient.

Very informative, service explained throughly,

Daniel made everything so easy and straightforward. Explained the prices sizes of storage and showed me each size of unit, so I could compare and make an informed decision. Excellent service. Thank you

The guy on the desk was polite and explained everything to us, showed us everything we needed to know. Storage building is well kept and I have access whenever I want. Definitely recommend.

This is my first time using a storage facility.
The member of staff that dealt with me really took her time and explained everything about the process and showed me different units. I am sorry now that I didn’t take her name, what an asset to the company.

Chris was very accommodating and resolved my query in next to no time. Thorough communication with full explanation of the required procedures. A pleasure to deal with.
