Mid Sussex Storage Albourne (1 Viewer)

After really struggling to find someone with storage availability from this coming November we've had a handful of replies.

Anyone have their van there and have first hand experience as to how it is please.

It's about 3 miles from my house. Looking on Google Maps it looks a bit like a very grimy and dusty industrial estate and not like the photo on their website. I'd nip round and have a look but I think this satellite photo tells you all you'd need to know.....

Just looked in there lunchtime. It's not an 'industrial estate' at all but rather rough and very unkempt ex-farm(yard) land with a range of of higgledy-piggledy buildings in various states of repair and seemingly abandoned cars, machinery, pallets, corrugated iron, containers and general commercial rubbish. There was no sign of a storage company but I was directed to a chap called Phil on the site who said that the storage business didn't exist yet but he was negotiating for a site fairly close at Scaynes Hill and to contact him via their (currently spoof) website in the new year.
Never mind their borrowed web photo and imaginative claim about their 'Team', and 'vermin and fire control', 'Number plate recognition technology', 'onsite owner' 'CCTV' etc. etc. I wasn't happy about leaving my car unattended for 20 mins whilst I was looking around.

Hello @Spriddler thankyou so much for taking the time to do that, it is very much appreciated. Hate to think what would have happened if I'd paid the requested money for the year, up front and then turned up there. Sound almost not real that someone could do that. I did look on google earth and couldn't send anything but just thought it was an old image as some are.

Bit of a bugger as that was the closest of the ones that replied.

Thanks again
Shawn

The 'new' place at Scaynes Hill may be o.k. but he sounded a bit imprecise/uncertain about when or if it would be operational.
Just outside Albourne there's a lovely camp site called 'Blacklands Farm' where 'vans and m/homes are stored. Pleasant folk when I visited to ask about putting my son's 'van there for a winter but they were full at that time. (It's in my garden now ) Worth a call perhaps?

Thanks for that. Im guessing they are full as they are one of the companies I've emailed twice and they've not had the courtesy to even reply.

Thanks again though for taking the time to send the link.

Shawn.

I can’t help you on the Storage - but like you emailed quite a few - some twice - either direct or on their online forms.

Disappointed at the number of companies that just didn’t reply.

Quite clearly full but have also lost the ability to have manners and any professional courtesy.
