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 gas station and car wash, has been transformed into Attic’s first purpose-built storage facility, allowing for full site regeneration.
Attic aims to provide a superior customer experience, by making the storage process as easy 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. Additionally, workspace pods are available to allow guests to work comfortably away from their unit with access to free Wi-Fi, a printer, hot beverages, and power outlets to charge portable devices.
Self-storage has many advantages, more than it seems at first glance. For growing businesses, it’s a great space that’s flexible, secure, yet accessible without the commitment of a long-term lease. Businesses can store files and office equipment while e-commerce businesses can store their stock. For movers, flexible short-term storage can be a real help; from decluttering the home before the sale to reducing stress on moving day by repacking ahead of time. For those short on space at home, embarking on a DIY project, or looking to rent out the guest room, self-storage is the perfect solution.
All customers have free 24-hour access as standard. So you can see your storage unit as an extension of your home or business. The focus on technology to improve the process for customers is evident throughout. Customers can follow the entire process online, from getting a quote to closing 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 are always on hand to greet visitors or answer any questions you may have about storage.
Attic Self Storage Harrow Store Manager Danny King says, “It is a real pleasure to work at our Harrow branch and get to know our customers. We have a friendly team of experts who are always ready to provide advice to those curious about storage. All your questions are welcome, so don’t hesitate to come and say hello. We are always happy to help you.
Thanks to the support of the local community, Attic has built a strong customer base over the past year and the store is a constant hive of activity, from regular business visitors to domestic customers.
Transforming the 1600m2 site of a service station was no small feat, but something Attic has achieved in accordance with BREEAM Excellent certification. Despite the original condition of the site, 91% of all demolished materials were diverted from landfill and either retained, reused in construction or recycled. For example, 800 tons of material was crushed and reused as velvet carpet for the new building. The environmental focus is also something Attic has continued with the installation of rooftop solar panels. This generates enough energy to make the site operationally carbon neutral. The site also has a fast charger for electric vehicles, helping customers who choose a greener approach.
