100% genuine reviews from our Colchester customers
Really pleased I chose Big Yellow for storage between moving house. The high standard of service that followed my initial online enquiry has been consistent, and continues. The staff are knowledgeable, courteous and approachable. Every step of the way has been easy. I'm very grateful to Max. Thanks for taking some of the stresses of moving off my shoulders
Fantastic service. Sammy and Max were so very helpful and made getting set up a breeze.
Sammy max and lisa were amazing! The best storage facility in Colchester thanks team!
You’ll access the storage facility using an app called StorID. With StorID, your phone acts like a digital code—giving you instant, secure entry without the need to remember or type anything in. Just swipe and go.
To get started, our team at reception will set you up. You can also read more about how it works in our quick guide.
To start renting your storage room, you’ll need to visit the store to sign your customer licence and pay for your initial 4-week period, deposit, and contents protection.
Contents protection is required before you can begin storing. You can either use our Enhanced Liability Service or provide your own insurance policy, but it must specifically cover self storage and clearly list our store address. A copy of the policy will need to be provided before move-in.
Don’t forget you'll need a padlock to secure your room - we sell combination locks at the store if you need to buy one.
If you need help getting your items to us, we’re happy to recommend trusted local removal companies. Alternatively, you can bring your belongings by car and use the trolleys available onsite to move them easily into your storage room.
Yes we do. We have a number of small and large tollies, sack barrows and pallet trucks – everything you will need to make moving things in and out really easy.
Yes, we do have a customer toilet on site. It’s clearly signposted and on the ground floor.
Yes, we do sell boxes. At Big Yellow, we offer a wide range of high-quality moving and storage boxes, along with all the packing materials you might need.
You can browse and purchase them online through our Box Shop, with the option for home delivery or click & collect from the store. Or, if you prefer, you can buy them directly from reception.
Whether you're moving home or just getting organised, we've got you covered.
Everything you need for moving day or self storage: sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, dust sheets, mattress bags and more. Whatever needs to be moved, stored or protected, you'll find it all in our Box Shop.
