I've had my locker for nearly two years and my experience has been really good 👍. Communication has been good with information shared when for example there are issues with the lift or opening times. Over the two years I have managed to change my locker to meet my needs and staff have been very helpful in assisting with the transition process. The pricing is competitive and I would definitely recommend.

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that our staff provided excellent service and that you found the building clean. We truly appreciate your feedback
Great storage solution with friendly customer service team!
We’ve been renting a unit with Big Blue Squirrel Maldon for a few months now and are really impressed with the service. Rachel and Giles are both extremely helpful and polite, and always very friendly! They made the set up process very streamlined and stress free, at what was already a very stressful time for us, and went out of their way to help. We were also shown a range of unit sizes, based on the availability, to help us make our decision. We have been pleased with the security at the unit and the overall cleanliness, and we have recommended the service to friends and family.

First class service
The process went smoothly and the staff are very helpful however my only complaint was that I was shown a larger storage unit and felt misled by pricing on the day of move , luckily my goods fitted into smaller storage unit and so the hiccup was resolved
Overall a first class service

We have never used self storage before so didn't know what to expect. The whole experience was very smooth however and explained to us in perfect detail by Gyles at the Maldon branch. Would thoroughly recommend 👍.
