Everything went smoothly, all charges for rental, locks, insurance, and other policies were explained clearly and communication was prompt and polite by email and phone. Only downside is that if you live in Bristol without a car the location is a bit far outside of the Bristol city center (almost an hour via bus+walking), that being said Admiral's yard also have removal services to recommend to help those without transport

Even though we only had to move 200 metres as the crow flies but with two young children it was as important as moving to the other side of the globe to us! Andy and his team where exemplerary.

The next day they were equally as brilliant working very hard and around the carpet fitters and cable to engineers. Everything was in and clear the same day even though we had allowed an additional day if required! Thanks Andy - wouldn't hesitate to refer you to a friend or relative:

On the day Andy and his team arrived promptly and soon got to work, they worked extremely fast and carefully.

(1 Star) A Genuine Hazard - Avoid This Place At All Costs!…read more I feel compelled to write this review to warn others. Under no circumstances should you rent a unit at Safestore Filton. This is, without a doubt, the worst storage facility I have ever encountered, and I would actively recommend you go anywhere else. From the moment you arrive, the problems are obvious. The main front doors are constantly left open, which is a huge security red flag. What are we paying for if the building isn't even secure? The absolute farce begins when you have a delivery or need to move anything sizable. In a move of sheer incompetence, they have replaced the automatic doors at the rear with heavy, manual doors. These are an absolute pain to open, especially if your hands are full. It's a deliberate and ridiculous inconvenience that makes accessing your own belongings a struggle. Once you finally battle your way inside, prepare for an assault on your senses. The toilets are absolutely disgusting and constantly stink, which tells you everything you need to know about the management's attention to basic hygiene and maintenance. And it gets worse. The units themselves are downright dangerous. I found multiple long screws and nails protruding from the walls inside my unit, creating a serious snag and injury hazard. When I raised this with the management, they were completely uninterested. Speaking of which, the management are terrible - unhelpful, dismissive, and clearly do not care about customer safety or satisfaction. Finally, a word of warning: don't be fooled by the plug sockets in the units. They are all deliberately switched off at the source and are completely unusable. They are just for show, another example of the facade over functionality here. Save yourself the immense frustration and risk. There are plenty of modern, secure, and professionally run storage facilities a very short drive away. Pay a little more elsewhere for actual security, safety, and peace of mind. Stay far, far away from Safestore Filton.

Safestore is based just off the A38 on the way into Bristol on a trading estate. It would be easy…read moreto miss the turning - though it is signed to the estate, and they usually have one of the Safestore vans parked on the dual carriageway to draw attention to it. Safestore specialise in self storage and you can store (almost) anything there- household or business items. As you enter the facility you are given a huge welcome and made to feel comfortable. It seems a very secure unit as I suppose you would expect, you sign in and out and there are security cameras checking everything. The units themselves are charged by the size. The members of staff are really helpful and give lots of guidance about sizing and measuring - its hard to imagine how much space your junk (prized possessions) take up. They also have lots of useful things for sale - some lovely strong storage boxes, padding etc which I guess you would expect, you may not expect it to be so reasonably priced.

It's obviously very important to recycle but what of the odd bits and bobs that the door collectors won't take for whatever reason? Well, this place takes EVERYTHING. As well as the obvious things like paper, glass and metal, you can also clear out the stuff that's always left in the bottom of your box, like plastic and cardboard. Going beyond that, they also, off the top of my head, take batteries, clothes, electrical appliances. There's even a special section for TVs and a gardening area where you can dump all the overgrown waste from your garden. A great way to unclutter your house and help the envorinment, all in one. NOTE: IT SHUTS AT 4.15PM IN WINTER, 6.45PM IN SUMMER.

Helping Bristol with its greener-than-thou eco points is the amazing tip, sorry, yes, recycling…read morecentre. So organised and staffed by what most be the most tolerant very large men in the city, you drive through and can throw all sorts of stuff over the precipice into their correct sections. If you want to get rid of it, chances are that they have a section for it. If in doubt, just ask any of the men and they will help rather than blindly going for the 'general' section. It does get very busy on bank holiday weekends and sunny Sundays but even with a queue out to Barrow Road you won't have to wait too long because of said organisation. In one way and out the other, easy as pie.
