Here’s the thing: storage staff can be hit or miss. You might get a cheerful helper or a grumpy crypt keeper who hands you a key without a word. Safestore Barking and Dagenham seems to have dodged that bullet. Reviews consistently praise the team for being friendly, patient, and “actually funny.” One customer wrote: “They helped me move boxes and didn’t even laugh when I forgot my lock combo.” That’s the kind of service you write a song about—or at least a five-star review.
Top 10 Storage Companies In London (Our Picks for 2026)
Another person said the manager gave them tea while they sorted out paperwork. Tea! In a storage facility! I half-expect a biscuit crate to be in the lobby next. Honestly, it’s the little things that turn a chore into a pleasurable errand—and yes, I just called storage errands pleasurable. Don’t judge.
Pricing: Wallet-Friendly or Wince-Inducing?
Let’s talk money—because no one wants to store their stuff and end up eating instant noodles for a month. The reviews say the pricing is competitive and transparent. No sneaky fees that pop up like a surprise bill from a dodgy internet café. One reviewer noted: “I compared three places, and Safestore was the most reasonable.”
They also offer flexible contracts, which is code for “you’re not trapped in a storage marriage.” You can pay month-to-month, so if you suddenly win the lottery and buy a mansion (or just clear out your clutter), you aren’t stuck. Plus, keep an eye out for move-in deals—some people snagged a month free just for being smart. Who doesn’t love free stuff?
