Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for being helpful, polite, and professional, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Many highlight the excellent customer service, noting the team's accommodating nature and willingness to go the extra mile. People also appreciate the modern, easily accessible, and secure facilities, including clean office spaces and available trolleys. However, some people were dissatisfied with communication issues, mentioning unclear information and a lack of coordination between staff. A few other people also felt that there were management issues or unmet expectations regarding service agreements. There were also isolated concerns regarding out-of-hours access not being universally available and a recommendation for an unverified third-party service that led to a negative experience.

Cheerful, friendly, helpful staff

It's the staff who made a huge difference. Cheerful, friendly and helpful. On our first visit to start filling our storage unit they walked us through all the security procedures making sure we knew exactly what to do. And showed us "oldies" how to use the lift!

My access storage unit

From contacting access to book the storage space to moving in was incredible . The staff team were very supportive, kind and professional. I was welcomed on the day by a lovely gentleman. I travelled two and a half hours on the day and, I was offered a drink on arrival. I had time to breath. I was shown the unit before signing the contract. I found the place very clean, airing, and secure was tight. I was told anytime I visit the unit I would use a different code to my unit. there is one thing I like most of all is that I am able to drive into the storage unit car park and don't have to worry about parking on the street. How awesome. Well done access

It is wonderful to know you found the site clean, airy, and secure, and that the easy parking made things even more convenient for you. Creating a smooth and reassuring experience is exactly what we aim for.

Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing Access.

Good self storage place. Recommended!

I received a competitive quote when searching for storage space locally. The communication with the Access Self Storage staff was very positive, they explained all details and were happy to answered all questions, for peace of mind. When decided to book the storage the registration process was easy, and we were given a mini tour of the place when moved our stuff in. Again the staff were friendly and helpful. We received a generous space for the price paid, which was lower than other self storage spaces locally. We would recommend this business.

Ive had a storage unit in Erdington…

Ive had a storage unit in Erdington since September 2025. Originally I was given a 6 month discount to price match and offer made elsewhere, however the manager had charged me the full price instead of the agreed discount, so he extended my discount period which should have covered me until June 2026. This was confirmed via email.

I received an email in February to advise me that the full price will be going up in March, so I went into the unit to confirm with the manager, who advised me they would not be able to honor the agreed extension of June.

I explained in that case then I would be due a partial refund of 1 month as he had overcharged me in the original 6 month period and I agreed not to refund, based on the extension period alone.

After some back and forth he advised he would be able to extend it until April, and then the unit would be charged full price from May.

Today I have noticed that I have been charged the full amount instead of the still promised discounted amount.

The majority of the staff are really lovely, unfortunately the manager Dean does not seem competent and doesn't keep agreements that he has made. Most the time he doesn't actually seem aware of what hes actually agreed to. Definitely don't think the manager is as professional as he should be, which lets this unit down.

Reply from Access Self Storage

Hi Ellie,

Thank you for explaining everything so clearly.

We are very sorry for the confusion and frustration this has caused. We understand how important it is that agreed prices are honoured and applied correctly.

When you first signed up, the manager was still new in the role and unfortunately some administrative errors occurred while processes were still being settled. The confusion seems to have happened when you received a rent increase email and there was a misunderstanding about how this affected your extended discount.

Because your agreement was a unique arrangement, the discount needed to be manually reapplied, and this was missed. We can confirm that the refund you are owed is now being processed.

We have since put measures in place to make sure manual discount extensions are properly tracked so this does not happen again.

We are sorry again for the inconvenience this has caused and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
