Blatant deception

Easily the worst storage experience I've ever had. The company and individuals are incredibly difficult to communicate with, never came through on time with anything they said they would and needed constant chasing to complete anything, yet hounded me incessantly and rudely on the occasion they wanted something from me (this was asking me to move my items into the container which was a month overdue being ready for me). They lost items and never made any attempt to make up for them, or even apologise. Even worse, they allocated me a unit considerably smaller than what the contract stated. It had huge metal beams intersecting the space, making it incredibly difficult to use. The space beyond the beams was useless for the majority of the items I had in there. I thought it seemed smaller than expected but it wasn't until I measured it that the truth was revealed. It was 25% smaller than contracted. When I confronted them about it, and obviously had to chase them up for a response, they made no apology or attempt to rectify the inconvenience, or repay me for the extra space they were charging for. When I'd had enough and moved elsewhere, they had the cheek to try and charge me for the remainder of the contract they had (and admitted they had) broken. When I pointed out that the amount they'd overcharged me was more than what they were asking, they didn't mention it again and said I was free to end the contract. I never missed a payment, or was even late paying on any occasion during my time using the facility. I assume they treat all honest customers like this but can only speak from my experience: Ineptitude, blatant deception, gross negligence and essentially, a horrible company I had the misfortune to deal with. Avoid at all costs.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m genuinely sorry that you feel let down by your experience with us – this isn’t the standard we aim for, and I understand how frustrating it must have been.

To give some context, when it became clear that your internal unit wouldn’t be ready in time for your move-in date, we offered you a 160 sq ft container as a temporary solution and explained that your belongings would later need to be moved into the indoor unit once it became available. When that unit was ready, our team moved your items across for you and kept you updated on the new arrangements.
You later raised two main concerns: missing items and the unit size. Regarding the missing items, our team checked the temporary container and confirmed everything had been moved. We then asked you to check your unit again in case the lights had been placed out of sight. We did not hear back from you on this point; had we done so, we would have been happy to explore further options. We’re sorry this was not resolved to your satisfaction.

On the size of the unit, once you told us you felt it was smaller than expected, we measured it, confirmed it was under 100 sq ft due to the mezzanine bracing, and offered you two options: a move to a different unit or a reduction in your rental fee to reflect the space available.

We did not receive a response to these options, and you later vacated without notice, despite having signed a 12-month contract. Even so, we took no further action, allowed you to end the contract early, and did not ask you to repay any discounts you had received under the terms of your agreement.

We have tried to contact you directly again in the last few days, as we would really like the chance to talk this through and address any remaining concerns. If you’re open to it, please get in touch with me at the store or via email so we can discuss this personally and see if there’s anything more we can do.

Kind regards

Excellent service

We needed storage in a hurry as a new couch was arriving before we sold the old one. SCA were fabulous and organised next day storage at 4 50pm on Friday evening! Containers are clean and dry and very secure. We will definitely be using them again :)

Popped down to SCA Doncaster after a friend recommended it and glad I did. The team were welcoming and made everything simple. The place feels tidy and secure, and it’s been handy having the extra space while sorting out the house.

Booked a unit at the new Doncaster site and it couldn’t have been easier. Everything was sorted online in minutes, and I can get in whenever I need to — perfect for me with odd work hours. The site’s clean, secure, and easy to find too.

Moved into the new SCA site in Doncaster last week and it’s been great so far. The team were really friendly and helped me get sorted without any fuss. The place feels safe, clean and easy to get to — exactly what I needed while sorting the house move.

I needed storage quickly while moving house and SCA were a lifesaver. Got a unit sorted the same day and the team were really friendly and easy to deal with. Place is clean, secure and handy to get to. Made a stressful move a lot easier!

second to none

SCA Self Storage Ltd , I can honestly say they’ve gone above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment I first contacted them, the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help. They made the whole process of finding the right storage unit incredibly easy — no stress, no hassle, just honest, friendly service with a smile.

The facilities themselves are spotless, secure, and well-maintained, which gives me real peace of mind knowing my belongings are safe. It’s clear that the team takes great pride in their work, and it shows in every interaction. They treat you like family, not just another customer, and that personal touch makes all the difference.

If you’re looking for storage with top-notch security, unbeatable customer care, and a truly caring team, I can’t recommend SCA Self Storage Ltd highly enough. They’re simply brilliant at what they do — professional, kind, and reliable. I wouldn’t store my things anywhere else!

❤️ Highly recommended — 10/10 service from an outstanding team!

Thank you and regards MR Dillon

Faultless Service from A to Z with SCA.

First time I have had the need to use a storage unit, SCA Storage was recommended by the Romoval Company I used during my recent house move, and must say my experience with SCA has been faultless. From signing up for my unit, through to my recent ending of my storage contract, the service has been five star. Units are clean and tidy, entry and exit to the storage site is straight forward but very secure, and above all the staff are very helpful and genuinely friendly. Happy to recommend.

Fantastic service start to finish

Fantastic service start to finish. The website is easy to follow and able to select the size you want. Customer service online and especially in person at reception makes your experience a smooth process. The 24/7 access with security and your personal code has really helped me with the house move and the storage unit was easy to access.
