Nice location

Nice location. Friendly helpful staff. 35sq unit was big enough to hold 2 large 3 seater sofas and a few bits and bobs. I gave 4 stars because I had trouble finding my lock up🔐 it was a very large space, a bit like a maze.

Hi Angela, thank you for your review.
It’s great to know the unit size worked well for your sofas and belongings, and that our staff made a positive impression. We’re sorry to hear it took a little time to locate your unit. The layout can feel large at first, and we’re always on hand to point customers in the right direction.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your review and for bringing this to our attention.

We have reviewed this internally and completely agree that a refund should have been processed straight away. We sincerely apologise that this did not happen, as this was an error and not reflective of our usual process. We truly regret the frustration this has caused.

We can confirm that the refund is now with you. A member of the store team has also been in touch with a unique offer should you need storage again, as a gesture of goodwill. We genuinely hope this demonstrates how seriously we take your experience and how sincerely we wish to put things right.

A rubbish start

I arrived and couldn't get in. I waited outside for a while trying to figure out how to get access. I finally called reception and she opened the gates. I signed in and she said I needed to download an app to get access. I said my phone was full, was there any other way I could get access without downloading an app. She categorically said there was no other way. So, I started trying to delete files, including my banking app. It was all taking too long and then after asking again wasn't there another way, I was told that there was another way. So she lied. I then wasn't shown how anything works. I asked how I got through the locked door to get a trolly. She refused to open it and told me to go out another door and walk around. I went around and then there was only one good large trolly to cater for everyone that day. There were smaller trollies. By the time we came back to grab a trolly, there were no trollies at at. I waited for her to appear, as there was no one in reception. Reception door was locked. I got more assistance from other people already using the facilities.

Hi Em,

We’re really sorry for the delay in getting back to you, as we take 1-star reviews very seriously and wanted to fully review this with the team before responding. Please accept our sincere apologies for the experience you had.

We only have one XL trolley available at this site, along with several smaller ones, and we’re sorry they weren’t available when you visited. It’s also disappointing to hear that our service fell short on the day, as our store staff are usually impeccable in supporting customers, it sounds like you caught us on an off day, and we take full responsibility.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, it helps us improve and ensure this doesn’t happen again.

I was delayed unnecessarily on the move in day. Documentation took a long time to process. This documentation should have happened on the day of enquiry to save time.
Till now I have not been given access to the facility except I use staff access.

Hi Esther,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your move-in day didn’t go as smoothly as expected. After looking into it, we can confirm that the delay was due to some important documentation not being completed ahead of time, including the contract and a valid form of ID. This information is essential for us to activate access and ensure everything is in order.

Our team worked to resolve these issues on the day, including updating your details and issuing access so that you were still able to move in as planned. We understand the frustration, and we’re here to help get everything finalised—particularly your access code, which we’d be happy to double-check when you’re next in store.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out or drop in, and we’ll make sure everything is fully up and running for you.

Very Disappointing Encounter With Front Of House

I recently had a disappointing experience with Access Self Storage Catford. Initially, everything proceeded smoothly until my planned move-out date on January 24, 2025. On January 6, 2025, I called to inquire about the move-out process and informed them of my intention to vacate on the 24th, aiming to avoid additional charges. The representative (Lamara) assured me that a note was added to the system regarding my notice & move out date.

Upon arriving on the 24th, I was informed that a 7-day notice via email was required, despite my prior phone notice. Consequently, they considered my notice period to start from the 24th, resulting in an unexpected charge of £73.55. The manager (Jerome) offered to accommodate by applying a daily rate up to January 25th, acknowledging I have already given. notice earlier. However, when I returned on January 29th to collect my remaining items, this arrangement was not honored. My access was restricted, and I was compelled to pay for storage until January 31st, incurring an additional week’s charge from the 24th. I have since called several times to make a complaint & to get my refund but Jerome keeps promising me a call back from a higher ranking manager that I am yet to receive.

This experience was frustrating, especially given the prior assurance and my efforts to comply with their procedures. I hope Access Self Storage Catford reviews their communication and notice policies to prevent similar issues for future customers, The staff could also benefit from vital customer service training.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry for any frustration you experienced during your move-out, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify what happened.

Our team acknowledged your intention to vacate and recorded it in our system. At the time, they also advised that written notice was required, as per our policy, to formally process your move-out. Unfortunately, we did not receive this written confirmation in advance, which meant that your notice period was applied from the 24th, making the first seven days non-refundable. We completely understand how this may have caused frustration and sincerely regret any miscommunication along the way.

That said, our team went above and beyond to assist by making exceptions to our standard procedures. Normally, customers are required to pay for the full calendar month upfront and then receive a refund for any unused days. However, to accommodate your situation, we allowed you to pay only up until your move-out date, eliminating the need to wait for a refund or pay more than necessary in advance. Additionally, although your account remained open for seven days beyond your move-out date, we did not apply a late fee—despite this being standard policy.

We recognize that this experience was not as smooth as it should have been, and we truly appreciate your feedback. We will be reviewing our processes to improve communication and ensure clarity for all customers moving forward. If there’s anything else we can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Very unhelpful and disrespectful staff

Very unhelpful and disrespectful staff. They are so insensitive and treat their customers in such a horrible manner. They don’t care and sell your items without a formal explanation/ letter to your address. So rude and unprofessional.
