Extra Space
One of the most significant benefits of student storage is the extra space it provides. Many students live in residences with limited storage space, which can make it challenging to keep all their belongings. Student storage offers a secure and convenient solution to store all the items they may not need right away but want to keep safe and accessible.
Security
Our student storage facilities in Manchester offer advanced security measures to protect the belongings of their clients. These security measures include 24-hour CCTV surveillance, alarm systems, and sturdy locks. Knowing that your possessions are safe and secure gives you peace of mind, particularly if you’re away from your student storage unit for an extended period.
Convenience
Convenience is a significant benefit of student storage. Our student storage facilities offer flexible rental options, allowing you to rent a unit for as long as needed. This flexibility is beneficial for students who need short-term storage while they go home for the summer or for those who require long-term storage while studying abroad or travelling.
Moreover, our student storage facilities provide a range of unit sizes, so you can choose a unit that best fits your storage needs. This flexibility allows you to store everything from small items to large pieces of furniture.

View AllWe booked a smaller unit upstairs, managed to get loads in it.
The place is spotless, plenty of trolleys.
They kindly gave us a fob so we could use the facility over the weekend at anytime, which helped us out a lot.
Can't say enough about Apex Glossop, they are fabulous. Keep up the good work guys.
If you are looking for somewhere relaxed, easy access and Secure I would highly recommend apex.
Its been a great 'off site' storage facility for the business.
I would definitely have kept the unit on but have made significant changes in the business going forward and don't need the space any longer.
I cannot fault Greg and the team, they've always been friendly and helpful (when I keep forgetting my access code 🙄).
Would definitely recommend and use again.
Thank you caron
It's been a year since I write review for this company. I've been with them for a year, my things stored as expected, dry, easy to access with your vehicle. Gary and Sally looked after me and container.
If I've ever have to use storage again I will use Apex storage without doubt. Thank you guys for providing such a brilliant service.
Would use again
Great staff. Always friendly and always helpful.
We’ll definitely be recommending Apex Glossop and using them again in the future.
Thanks to the team for such great service!
God bless you guys!
John, in particular, was very helpful at explaining how everything works and was very nice and chatty.
I would definitely recommend them, if you are uni student, like me!
Really happy with the service provided at Apex Warrington. Setting up a unit was really easy, and we were customers for around a year with absolutely no issues during this time. Access to the units is great and made moving our belongings easy with being able to drive right up them. Gary and the team are genuinely very nice and helpful, and I would 110% recommend Apex Warrington. Thanks so much for your service :)
Would definitely store items here again :))
Every member of staff at apex were amazing. All helpful, honest and truly super people!
A fab team and super service
Really good at solving the green truck mystery!
Steve yesterday talked me through everything and made me feel very comfortable. The place is spotless and I will definitely be recommending to anyone needing storage or an office.
Thankyou
From my initial telephone enquiry about storage unit rental, with Apex Self Storage Radcliffe, then throughout the actual process of renting a space and vacating the unit afterwards, I received extremely helpful assistance with visual guidance given, regarding the size of the units that i considered suitable for my specified requirements.
My personal need for storage was short term, so it was very cost effective, given the currently available discounted price offer for the first 2 months.
The team are polite, professional courteous, approachable and helpful..
Thank you.
Best storage company in Cheshire in my honest opinion.
Highly recommended.
I first visited a week or two ago to look at the sizes of the units, as recommended on your website. I was shown by Jen. Jen went through the price for the lockup I requested, I was told about the offer that was on, 8 weeks with 50% off for the first 4 weeks. Jen went through everything really thoroughly.
Jen also helped me with purchasing some boxes, tape and bubble wrap.
I booked the unit the following week over the phone, to start from the 1st Feb. I arrived on the 1st with some boxes. Jen went through all the forms with me, explaining some terms and conditions.
I was really impressed with how clean and tidy everywhere is. Trolleys and cages are available to take your boxes etc to the lockup.
Jen was super friendly, and very conscientious and made the hold whole experience stress free. An asset to your company.
Can I add that your website is so user friendly. The list of what you are going to store, to help you choose the size of unit you may need, is a great idea. I am useless at sizes, and would have chosen one far too big without this.
I 100% recommend Apex, they will be my number 1 go to in the future.
I also used their van service, and they were fantastic in assisting me with moving my belongings from home to storage. The facility itself is highly secure, with the added convenience of being able to access it whenever needed.
I highly recommend Apex Hulme Self Storage to anyone in need of storage solutions. It’s undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best, storage centres in Manchester! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
On my second visit, I required access to the site during a public holiday, and the team was accommodating by providing extended access. Rachael Biggs went above and beyond, offering a thorough site tour and explaining the access procedures in detail. She even arranged for a cage to be prepared for me, labeled with my name and monitored under CCTV for added security, which gave me peace of mind.
What truly set this experience apart was Rachel's empathy and dedication to her work. On my initial call, I was having a particularly challenging day and was struggling to reach the site. Despite this, Rachel remained in constant communication, updating me on timings and guiding me through the booking process and necessary paperwork. As a professional who values commitment and strong work ethics, I was genuinely impressed by Rachel’s attentiveness and dedication, which made a lasting impression.
I recommend Apex storage highly based on my experience.
Fast reliable internet connection.
Highly recommended.
I highly recommend this company.
Very quick and efficient
Very friendly staff !!

J Barlow
Great experience from start to finish. We will definitely return in the future.
Would highly reccomend
John, the van driver, was punctual, professional, friendly and helpful in ensuring my belongings were safely packed and transported across.
I recently stored my items here for a house move. The staff( Donna and Cy) were great from start to finish. Very helpful, polite and professional, nothing was too much trouble. There was lots of packing items available from boxes, and bubble wrap which came in very handy. The site itself was very clean, tidy and well maintained. I would definitely recommend apex congleton to anyone who needs storage.
Thank you.

Then Greg and Jamie on the desk were fantastic - took ages to help me understand my options etc and show me how everything works.
I was deliberating between Big Yellow, Safestore and Apex and am absolutely delighted I went with Apex.
Dealing with nice, genuinely caring humans is what makes the world go round. Thanks a lot gents!
INFORMATIVE & VERY HELPFUL.
ONLY BRINGING TINY AMOUNT OF BUSINESS TO CHEADLE TEAM BUT HAVE BEEN TREATED LIKE 'BIG MAJOR' CLIENT. NOTHING HAS BEEN TOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR THEM.
AWSOME !!!
You went out of the way to help me.
Everyone I came into contact with was lovely. They even gave us bottles of water and snacks on a roasting hot day.
It was a pleasure to meet you all
Norman
The whole place is very clean.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for storage 😁
Access to the shutter doors can be a bit tight when another vehicle is on the ramp, but in general, the site is great. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again.
Highly recommend!
Really clean premises
Great offers
My only criticism would be the price , a little bit expensive just to store your spare things.
Donna and Si who manage the reception have been extremely helpful to me over the time and I can't thank them both enough, they both appear to have the place running like clockwork, very efficient indeed and a credit to your company.
Well done and keep up the good work.
Kind regards
Eddie Faichney.
The staff are friendly and helpful and the units are spotless.
I’ve recently vacated two units in this facility after 8 months and used them in the past and I would definitely recommend them but get in there quick because they fill up very quickly.
Storage size was perfect for what I needed too.
Would definitely recommend.
The Apex team; Donna and Simon at the depot in Congleton, and John the van driver couldn’t have been more helpful or approachable!
Thanks guys for all your help.
Moving is so stressful, and you took a lot of the stress out of it.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use this as a solution again. 👍😁
The unit itself is clean, tidy and secure, with perfect access for vans or cars to load and unload as needed. I would definitely recommend to other people.
Staff were brilliant and customer service is exactly what you would want.
24hr access with brilliant secure site which left me happy to leave mystuff knowing it was on a secure site in my time on the site it was clear to see Apex are keen to improve there sites with even better camara and flood lights when there in the evenings.
Manager Gary and staff member Sally will be the reason I would highly recommend this site to my buinsess connections who need storage facility.
The staff are great and do anything they can to help while you enjoy the security of knowing your valuables are alarmed and safe. They have a wide range of unit sizes available and rates are very competitive so make sure you check them out before booking anywhere else.
They also provide packing materials, padding, bubble wrap and more to help you store your belongings perfectly with no mess. Your one stop shop for storage in Manchester.
