What our customers are saying

100% genuine reviews from our  Chelmsford  customers

Simone Millership
May 26, 2026
I recently used Yellow Storage and Ryan has been excellent from start to finish. He was so friendly, professional, approachable and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. No question was ever too much trouble, and he always took the time to answer everything I needed help with. Moving house can be stressful, but Ryan made everything so much easier and straightforward. The customer service I received was fantastic and I felt supported the whole way through. I would highly recommend Yellow Storage to anyone needing storage or help whilst moving house, and I would definitely use them again in the future.
