Access can be gained 24/7 by reporting at the security lodge situated front of site. Here you will be welcomed by a courteous and professional officer who is more than happy to help you. Be prepared he will require you to produce your blue self storage ID Card and your registration number.
There is state-of-the-art 24/7 CCTV in operation. This is fully supported by mobile rapid response officers and their 4-legged friends who are at hand to respond immediately. We carry out random tests to ensure all sites remain secure.
Insurance is mandatory across all SSA sites in the UK. The cost will depend on the value of your goods – find out more.
Before you start storing, we ask our customers to specify the items stored inside the container – any flammable or combustible goods won’t be allowed, such as:
Fire procedures and extinguishers are on site. Security has a database of all customers on site and are qualified in relation to fire procedures.
In case of a security breach, we have standard operating procedures. We test breaches on occasions and note the response. A recent test resulted in the police arriving at scene in 12 minutes – a very red-faced manager had to do a lot of explaining! We have a wealth of experience built up over 36 years and our motto is ‘prevention is better than detection’.
