Joe and Darren were amazing in the services I received at the South Croydon branch.
It went to check and confirm my husband’s ID.
It went so smoothly and they were both so polite and friendly!
Joe even found and returned my lost earring!!! Before I left the premises
Thank you Joe! Big thumb up for YOU!
Keep up with the good work guys!
I am a very pleased customer.

Complicated and Poor Instructions and Hidden costs

Firstly, Hidden costs as we had to pay for a cylinder lock. When booking it asked us to buy a padlock, only to find we need a cylinder lock. This was the closest option for us but ended up being £43 more expensive based on two months and including the introductory offers.

The manager although polite wasn’t able to help resolve in anyway and with it being late on a Saturday of the bank holiday weekend and already having booked etc, we were unable to change to the cheaper booking. Also a lack of information by email, even a sales call but not information on how to access the storage! This meant we had to go back a forth between sites to sign up when it was sold as an automated easy online sign up.

Great service

Joe was very helpful, from the moment I walked in the door. He asked about my requirements, showed me the units, and was very clear about the breakdown of costs.

Straight forward experience.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Answered all my questions with patience and understanding. The site was clean and tidy on all visits. The app was easy to use and all electronic security worked on all visits. Invoicing was on time and pricing clear from the start. All-in-all, a straight forward experience.

Been a customer for a couple of years and all queries dealt with efficiently. We moved units smoothly at short notice with the South Croydon branch and it was really easy to do.

Darren saved the day

I needed to get something out of storage and only had 1 day to visit the storage facility. I was distressed when I arrived as I couldn’t assess my storage unit, it turns out I had brought the wrong keys!!! Darren saved the day by changing the barrel and fitting a new one and I was able to access the storage which saved a lot of stress for me.I didn’t mind the additional cost, as it meant I averted a potential problem arising if I couldn’t access the storage unit on that day. You are my super hero Darren. Thank you. 🤩

Good prices and helful staff

I recently rented a unit at the South Croydon site and found the process very easy and the prices reasonable. When I went to collect the keys, the staff member was helpful and friendly. He showed me to my unit, explained everything carefully, and ensured that I was all set up.

I also appreciated the app used to access the automatic gate, which works well. The site is impeccably clean and modern, and I feel very comfortable leaving my valuables there. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service I've received and would highly recommend Shurgard.
