Excellent customer service

Curling, provided exceptional service during our Safestore setup. He ensured we received the absolute best deal and walked us through the administrative paperwork with total clarity. It has been an outstanding experience so far, and I look forward to the same high standard as I continue using the facility. A 5 star for Gurling at the safestore for customers service..

The amazing Nicola W at Safestore Barking & Dagenham

Dealing with Nicola W at Safestore Barking & Dagenham was a dream. I visited the office ready for a battle over an issue to do with, what I believed was a duplicate payment. I felt heard and understood by Nicola. I even cried in the office out of frustration, but Nicola was unfazed, sympathetic and quickly set about putting things right. She ended up getting me a better deal on my storage and we had a giggle about similar living situations we were in. I left there happy and feeling confident that my issue was resolved. This almost never happens when dealing with other companies (in my experience). She cared and the attitude she had is something that goes such a long way in my book!

John was absolutely amazing

John was absolutely amazing! He took the time to explain everything to us, found the best pricing for us and then reserved the unit.
Also, as it transpired we didn't need the storage space, it wasn't a problem at all for them.
The quality of the customer care we received was absolutely EXCELLENT! Highly recommend this company and especially John to all who are thinking of renting storage space!

Absolutely fuming at the manager of this establishment as cab not take a concern seriously and it escalated to being a complaint that could of been easily avoided.

The level of professionalism for the female manager is really shocking and totally unacceptable and changes the topic to suit her and not actually deal with whats in hand.

My advise stay away from this site and Avoid the manager completely
