At Cookes Storage Service, the health and well-being of our customers and colleagues is our number one priority.

Following the latest government announcements regarding the national lockdown, we would like to confirm what this means for the self storage industry. This time around we are much more informed and have been able to react much faster.

Our self storage facility will remain open for use by essential services, those businesses that remain open and those individuals permitted to travel under government advice. This includes key workers, online retailers, construction and trade workers, teachers, home movers to name but a few.

Our opening hours remain unchanged:

Monday           9am – 5pm
Tuesday           9am – 5pm
Wednesday   9am – 5pm
Thursday         9am – 5pm
Friday                9am – 5pm
Saturday          9am – 5pm
Sunday             10am – 4pm

Social Distancing

In the reception, we have installed perspex shields for yours and our protection. When visiting a self storage facility you are required to wear a mask throughout the storage facility and observe social distancing, keeping apart 2m where possible.

One in, One out

With immediate effect only one customer at a time will be allowed into our reception areas. Whilst our reception areas are not high traffic areas, you may be required to wait until the area has been cleared by a previous customer.

Sanitising Stations

You will find sanitising stations throughout the storage facility. We kindly request that you sanitise your hands upon entering and exiting the self storage facility. Although we will be conducting thorough cleaning of equipment you are more than welcome to use sanitiser to clean any equipment that you use.
