Since opening its doors in April 2021, the Attic Self Storage facility on Honeypot Lane in Stanmore has gone from strength to strength. The once dilapidated site, formerly a petrol station and car wash, was transformed into Attic’s first purpose-built storage facility providing complete regeneration of the site.
Attic aims to deliver a superior customer experience, making the storage process as simple as possible for customers. At Harrow this extends to the use of app-controlled electronic access and locks for all customers, providing the ultimate in convenience. In addition, workspace pods are available for customers to work in comfort away from their unit with access to free Wi-Fi, a printer, hot drinks and plug sockets to charge portable devices.
Self-storage has a lot of benefits, more than it might seem at first. For growing businesses it’s an excellent flexible space, secure yet accessible without the commitment of a long-term premises lease. Businesses can store files and office equipment while eCommerce businesses can store their stock. For home movers, short-term flexible storage can be a real help; from decluttering the home prior to selling to reducing the stress on moving day by packing up in advance. For those who are short of space at home, embarking on a DIY project, or looking to rent out a spare room, self-storage is the perfect solution.
All customers have complimentary 24-hour access as standard. So you can view your storage unit as an extension of your home or business. The focus on technology to improve the process for customers is evident throughout the process. Customers can complete the entire process online – from getting a quote to taking out a contract. You can even take a virtual tour from the comfort of your own home. For customers who prefer to do things in person, the store team is always on hand to welcome any visitors or answer any storage questions you might have.
Store Manager of Attic Self Storage Harrow, Danny King, says, “It is a real pleasure to work at our Harrow branch and to get to know our customers. We have a team of friendly experts who are always willing to provide guidance to those who are curious about storage. We welcome any questions so feel free to pop in and say hello. We’re always happy to help.“
Thanks to supporting from the local community, Attic has built up a strong customer base over the past year and the store is a constant hive of activity, from regular business visitors to domestic customers alike.
Transforming the 1600 m2 site from a petrol station was no mean feat but something that Attic achieved in accordance with BREEAM Excellent certification. Despite the original state of the site, 91% of all demolished material was diverted from landfills and either retained, reused in construction, or recycled. For example, 800 tones of materials were crushed and re-used as pile mats for the new building. The environmental focus is also something that Attic has continued to pursue with the installation of solar panels on the roof. This generates sufficient power to make the site operationally carbon neutral. The site also boasts a fast charger for electric vehicles, supporting customers who choose a greener approach.
