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.

Firstly, I don't normally do reviews for items. If I pay for a coffee I expect to get a coffee and not need to leave reviews on how hot it was. However, here's the exception. I've used Apex storage here in Glossop for almost 2 years while between houses. And during that time I've received more than I originally expected. It's as if the coffee came with a table cloth, my own choice of music and a plate of biscuits on the side. Yes, Apex is a storage facility. A high-quality and well maintained storage facility compared to others maybe, but it's still basically a place to just leave your stuff under your own lock and key and then drive back home. Storage facilities should do this as part of their existence - and many do. What stands this place out from others is the genuine friendly and helpful atmosphere. Every time I walked in to the place, if I was spotted, the Apex folks who run the joint welcomed me as a friend. More like a mate or family member rather than just another paying customer. They remembered my 'history' in the place as I ventured into different rental areas. The same way that you'd remember where your mates had been on holiday or what cars they'd owned. From the first time I called in with the enquiry to the day my house was ready to accept my stuff back, it was as friendly and painless as using a spare room at my mate's house to store some of my gear. This atmosphere wasn't forced. They hadn't been on a course for it or read it in the manual. They were just local folk who went that extra mile without realising they were doing so. Add that to the clean and well maintained storage units themselves - part of what you'd expect from a decent storage facility - when I need a storage unit in the future, these folks will be the only call I'll be making. Here's a genuine thank you from me. Thank you.

Like lots of people posting reviews - I had a very positive experience with Apex in Congleton. Right from the start they were really helpful - guided me to the right-sized storage unit, which actually saved me money Vs the other places I'd spoken to. Have had great customer service - my belongings were well cared for - and would be easy to recommend to anyone in the area looking for storage. Fraser

I can't recommend Apex Glossop Storage highly enough. From start to finish, the service has been outstanding. Everyone at the storage facility is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to go the extra mile to help with anything you need. I also used their van service, and John, the driver, was absolutely brilliant. He was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful, making the whole moving process much easier and less stressful. It's rare to find a team that genuinely cares about providing such excellent customer service. Thank you to everyone at Apex Glossop Storage for making the experience so smooth. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for storage or moving services.
