Within our ultimate guide to self storage in Swindon, you will find out everything you need to know about our storage. Unit sizes, prices, security, what to look for, how to find us and the areas we serve – it is all here. 

If you live or work within the Swindon area, there are many reasons why you might need storage. The houses in Swindon are a mix of Victorian terraces in Old Town and modern developments. Both of these styles of housing are often lacking in storage space or space in general so storage can really come in handy. 

Swindon has also seen rapid population growth, with figures from the Office for National Statistics showing that from mid-2023 to mid-2024, the population rose by 1.52%. 

Swindon is also home to a major distribution hub which has Amazon, Honda and Dyson connections. It also has many thriving small and medium businesses. This all adds up to a town in need of storage. 

Our Swindon store is located at Cheney Manor Industrial Estate, Swindon, SN2 2DS, across the road from ATS Euromaster Swindon Comp. We serve the areas of Swindon town, Rodbourne, Old Town, Wroughton, Royal Wootton Bassett, Highworth and Wiltshire.

Within this guide, we will cover unit sizing, costs, what to look for, how to find us and the areas we serve. Our storage is 5-star rated on Google and we have 2000+ reviews on Trustpilot, covering all of our stores. You can trust our storage.

How Much Does Self Storage Cost In Swindon? 

Swindon storage prices are Wiltshire market town rates which are typically 20-30% below what you would pay in London. 

When it comes to an exact price for storage, there are different factors that need to be taken into account. This include:

• The unit size you need 
• The duration of your rental period
• Whether you need to use the extended opening hours
• Whether you choose to include insurance 

When it comes to comparing storage, you should always compare the price per sq ft and not just the total price.

Choosing A Secure Storage Facility In Swindon  

When it comes to choosing a storage facility, security should be one of the most important things you look out for. You need to know that your belongings will be safe. Within this section, we will let you know all the things you should look out for and the red flags to avoid. 

Security Checklist 

The security features that you should check for are as follows:

• 24/7 CCTV surveillance with recording retention
• Individual unit alarms
• PIN code access control – customer-only entry with all access being logged
• Fire and smoke detection systems
• Perimeter security and well-lit premises

At our Swindon store, we have 24/7 CCTV surveillance around the entire facility. Each unit has an alarm and smoke and fire detectors. We have pin-code access which will allow you access to your unit or office whilst keeping other people’s units/offices safe and secure. 

Access Considerations

If you are using your storage for business purposes, convenient access will be really important particularly if you are running your business alongside having a full time job or around your family. But, no matter your reasons for using storage, convenient access is always a plus. 

At our Swindon store, we have both standard access hours and extended access hours. This is the difference between them:

• Standard hours is when our team are on site
• Extended access hours is when you can gain access using your pin code

Our extended opening hours are available at the request of the customer and the discretion of the store team so please speak with the Swindon team if you feel our extended access hours would be helpful. 

At our Swindon store, we also have drive-up units which are easy to load and unload. Plus, we have loading bays and trolleys which are free to use. Using our storage will be really easy. 

Contract Red Flags To Avoid 

With all storage facilities, there are some red flags that you should be on the lookout for when it comes to the rental contracts. They are:

• Long minimum stays
• Excessive admin fees
• Mandatory insurance at high rates

We have no minimum stays with our Swindon storage. In fact, all of your storage comes with a flexible rental contract. This means that you can change your storage or office at any time. You are even free to leave your unit before your rental period has ended – you just need to have a chat with the team. We just need you to give us a short period of notice and you will be refunded for any unused days. This is unique to Cinch storage and not offered by any of our competitors. 

We do offer insurance as most household insurance does not cover outside storage but it is not mandatory. And we have no excessive admin fees.
