7th April 2020
At Quick Self Storage, the health and well-being of our customers and colleagues is our number one priority.
To support our customers and colleagues through this difficult time, we will be operating during the following hours (subject to change – please see individual store page for information).
– Monday to Friday: 9am – 5pm
– Saturday: Closed
– Sunday: Closed
Customers with existing extended access will be able to access their storage unit as normal.
Our storage facility is automated and is not a high traffic premises but nevertheless we have made adjustments to staffing levels and service offerings to minimise person-to-person contact. In addition, our colleagues have intensified the daily cleaning levels of our stores especially commonly touched area such as door handles, lift buttons, pin machines etc.
Finally, colleagues and customers are reminded to observe social distancing and hand hygiene per the Government guidelines. Anyone with coronavirus symptoms should not visit our store. For more guidance please visit nhs.uk/coronavirus.
Why is Quick Self Storage still open?
The latest Government guidance is for all retail premises to be closed with some exceptions, including storage and distribution facilities. Our store is open because we serve many small business customers engaged in key supply chains (e.g. grocery and pharmaceutical) as well as engineers who use our store to store and collect parts critical to their work maintaining and repairing things like telecoms infrastructure, central heating systems, building lifts (including those in hospitals). In addition our store does not generally have the footfall of other types of premises (such as retail). Nevertheless, the safety and well-being of our colleagues and customers is our priority and we are advising customers where possible to minimise visits and observe social distancing and hand hygiene per the Government guidelines. These measures, if observed correctly, should ensure risk of transmission is minimal.
