Our newest site opened on Monday 12 October on Roman Farm Road, just off Hengrove Way (BS4 1UP). If you’re weighing up storage in South Bristol, here’s what we think you should ask any provider, how we answer those questions, and how to find us first time.

Storage usually starts with something else going on

Hardly anyone wakes up wanting a storage unit. They need one because life is in the middle of something.

Your sale completes on a Friday but your new place isn’t ready until the month after. You’ve bought at Hengrove Park and the handover date has moved. You’re downsizing and not ready to decide what stays. You’re clearing a parent’s home and need time, not a skip. Or your business has outgrown the garage and the van.

Those moments are why we opened in Hengrove. A good storage provider should make that one part of the upheaval feel calm and handled, so you can give your attention to everything else.

Five questions to ask any storage provider

Prices in South Bristol vary, and so does what you get for them. Before you book anywhere, including with us, these five questions tell you most of what you need to know.

  1. Will a real person answer the phone, and will they still be there when you move out?
  2. Is the price you’re quoted the price you’ll pay, once insurance, any deposit and any “introductory” period are included?
  3. How easy is it to get in and out with a full car or a van?
  4. Can you change unit size, or leave, without a penalty? How much notice do they need?
  5. Did they ask what’s going on in your life, or only how many square feet you want?

That last one matters more than it sounds. If someone understands why you’re storing, they can suggest the right size, warn you about the gap you haven’t planned for, and save you paying for space you don’t need.

Who we’re here for in South Bristol

Bristol Hengrove is a short drive from Hengrove, Whitchurch, Stockwood, Hartcliffe and Withywood, Knowle and Knowle West. It’s also close to Hengrove Park, where hundreds of new homes are being built and plenty of people are juggling a move date.

We’re on a working trade estate, so we’re well set up for businesses too. If you’re a trader keeping stock in the van, an online seller who’s run out of spare room, or a firm on the estate that needs overflow space two minutes away, come and talk to us about business storage.

Highly recommend this company! I recently moved and needed to store some items and was unsure where to store as I wanted to make sure it was close by but also very secure. I contacted this company and to spoke to Holly who was so welcoming and helped me decide what size would be better for me by allowing me access to see the units. The level of security in the premises is fantastic with cameras at every corner! I decided in the end to go with a 50ft storage and then dealt with both Helen and Jeremy who explain each step what happens moving forward and made sure that I would get access on the date that suited me. The process I thought was going to be long and added stress for me, however all 3 took that stress away! Thank you again!

Easy peasy. Nice people to deal with; all my (probably, very silly) questions were answered quickly and clearly, and the follow up to check that my move went smoothly was a nice finishing touch.

Really seamless experience from start to finish. App was incredibly easy to use and convenient 24/7 access allowed me to move all my house stuff over in less than a week. The unit I booked was the perfect size to fit all my furniture in from a large 2 bed house. Would definitley recommend anybody looking for storage to use Wigwam
