Haskins Retail Park

Our secure facilities are located on the Anglo Trading Estate in Shepton Mallet, Somerset. This is a Grade II* Listed site with many original features. We offer storage units and business space.

KEEPING OUR STAFF AND CUSTOMERS SAFE

When on our site please follow Government safety guidelines on Covid, social distancing, face coverings etc. Our site is a mix of Self-storage facilities and businesses.
The self-storage areas are self-contained and accessible by door codes which are only given out to the tenants occupying that particular area. In addition to our cleaning regime, Tenants must bring anti bac and spray the door codes before they use them to prevent the spread of the Corona virus, this also applies to trolleys. Prospective tenants must wear a mask when visiting and all paperwork is done remotely as office staff work from home wherever possible in line with government guidelines.

SECURITY

Your safety and the safety of your belongings are most important to us. The Anglo Trading Estate is covered by CCTV, each building entrance has a door code which is changed periodically and only given out to tenants who access that particular area. Our business tenants are vigilant, our maintenance team and Haskins Furniture staff are usually on site – the Property Manager, Maintenance Foreman and Directors can monitor CCTV remotely. Any suspicious behaviour which is reported is responded to as a matter of urgency and fully investigated with door codes etc. changed if we deem this a necessary precaution. We have a security company which monitors the site out of hours also.

Self-Storage for Domestic Use

Our self-storage units provide purpose built, secure storage spaces in historic surroundings.

Storage units range from 50 sq.ft. up to 2,250sq.ft. Prices start from £50 + VAT per calendar month.

Units are available for a minimum 1 month term with a 2 week notice period after that. Tenants can relocate to a smaller or larger storage unit to suit their requirements and priority is given to existing tenants when a suitable unit becomes available. If you are storing domestic items only then rates are included within the rental charge.

Tenants provide their own lock to secure their individual storage unit and entrance doors have keypads. There is CCTV on the site and out of hours the entrance gates are locked. Trolleys are available to assist with moving belongings from the car park to each unit.
