Our Bedford store is having an extension which will provide 30,000 more sq ft of storage for Bedford residents and businesses. The Bedford extension is going to be a large mix of storage units, including more larger units which prove to be very popular in our Bedford store.

More Storage Space, Same Excellent Location

Our Bedford extension is a part of our Bedford store and our Bedford store is located on Wolseley Road in Kempston. Being next to a main road means you can have convenient access to your storage unit. 

More Storage Units, More Happy Customers

The large extension is going to lead to more storage units being available to rent, including many more larger units of many thousand sq ft. 

As Abbie Batho, team member from our Bedford store, explains, this is going to make a big difference to the local communities storage needs:

“We get a lot of enquiries for larger units but, at the moment, we only have four 250 sq ft units. That was our largest unit and they have all stayed occupied. It [the Bedford extension] is going to give us more space for business customers who want long-term storage.”

Convenient Access and Secure Units

The units created through the extension will all have the same level of convenient access and security that all of our current units have. 

At our Bedford store, we have three types of access:

• Standard Access Hours: when our Bedford team are in store
• Access Hours: Mon – Sun, 8.30am – 6pm
• Extended Opening Hours: these are accessed at the customer request and store discretion 

Having this level of convenient access does not mean that your unit will be unsafe and no longer secure. At our Bedford store we have pin-code access that is controlled through the PTI app. The pin-code allows you convenient access to your unit whilst keeping other people’s units safe and the app adds an extra layer of convenience and security. 

Drew Dempsey, manager of the Bedford Build Hub, had this to say about the PTI app and overall security:

“The entrance control is not just PIN-code, but it has app control as well. The app allows for a lot more security and a lot more flexibility to share access with colleagues and authorise them when they need access and revoke the access once it is no longer needed. Our CCTV is monitored by specialist monitoring systems that specialise in self storage.”

Offering Storage Solutions to Universal Studios  

As many of you will already know, Universal Studios is coming to Bedford, with development officially starting in January 2026. With the development will come many contractors in need of a local place to store their tools, equipment and materials and to hold meetings. 

Our Bedford store is in Kempston, the same area of Bedford as Universal Studios. We are just 4 miles or a 11-minute drive from the Universal Studios site and we have both storage units and offices available to rent. 

Bedford Extension: 30,000 sq ft more Self Storage in Bedford

Our Bedford extension is going to add 30,000 sq ft to our Bedford facility. This will mean more storage units, including larger units, which will all be located in the same convenient Kempston location, with the same convenient access and the same level of security. 

If you have been thinking of getting self storage but we haven’t had the right unit for you, get in touch with our Bedford team as our new extension will likely mean we have a unit that will now work with your needs.
