Amazing service, Spence, Mark, Andy and Amanda went above and beyond and drive us to multiple places free of extra charge and we’re so friendly and helpful. They helped us move very heavy things and worked almost 2 extra hours just to make sure that we were all set to move. Couldn’t have been more pleased with the service. 10/10 would recommend and will be using for all future storage needs!

Great place for storing your stuff. We've used it during our house move and it was a very pleasant experience. Prices are quite reasonable, staff is very nice and immensely helpful. They even offer to bring your stuff to the storage for free (at least at the moment). The storage itself is neat and tidy, easy to get in and out via two indoor loading bays that keep you dry, which is very important in Manchester :) Also, there are plenty of trolleys to help you move your stuff around without breaking your back.That said, the place is popular so if they have storage you might be interested in, get it booked the same day, otherwise it might not be available the day after.

This is the first time we have had to use a storage facility, so were not too sure how things worked. The staff couldn't have been more helpful in explaining the process and showing us round. The units are very secure and clean. Special mention to Spencer who was extremely polite and helpful in suggesting which size unit we should use. Nothing was too much trouble, he even offered to help us put our items away. Would definitely recommend.

Such a refreshing experience to visit this storage facility! I run a removals business and I had the pleasure of moving a customer from Cornwall into storage here at Vanguard. As soon as I walked into the office I was impressed by the relaxed, friendly and helpful attitude of the staff. Mark, in particular, couldn't do enough to help and was chatty and friendly throughout - he was even kind enough to make me a cup of coffee, a very welcome gesture after 350miles on the road! The storage itself was immaculately clean, well laid out and the access was excellent! I would not hesitate in recommending Vanguard to all.

23:59 08 Dec 21

The whole experience at Vanguard has been easy, from the initial enquiry, to helping us with the movement of the trailer. Both Ben and Mark go out of their way to accommodate us if we need to bring the trailer back late or take it away early. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for storage!!

19:33 02 Mar 20

As a small business expanding into distribution the team here are a fantastic help, they are completely flexible and highly efficient. Having a unit here and paying for their service effectively eliminates the need for a full time employee. Flexible options to expands into larger spaces when required is also a massive bonus which negates the need for signing a new business up to expensive rental tie-ins

Vanguard Self Storage in Swinton Manchester , if anybody is looking for somewhere to store there belongings in this area this must be the first place to come and visit , they have units to suit your needs big , medium or large . The staff here are very understanding if you come across and issues or problems . Mark is the most polite , friendliest , and easiest person to talk too and makes you feel welcome every time you come and visit your unit , I cannot speak highly enough about Mark it is not very often you come across somebody like this gentleman. I have had my unit here at Vanguard for almost 4 years now and last week I cleared out which Mark also helped me with because I was emptying alone ( which was something he didn’t have to do ) it was also a sad day to be leaving because the place is so welcoming , if anybody is looking for a storage unit in this area or even to travel to Swinton this is the place

Lee Brook

19:00 27 Jan 20

Really helpful staff who go above and beyond to assist, my daughter had to store the contents of her house between moves, the staff were friendly and polite at each visit, we then hired the man in a van service to move her into her new house and again they couldn’t have been more helpful- hired one man in a van and the other chap pitched in to help load it. Couldn’t recommend more - really reasonable price too.

I’d never used a self storage facility in the past but was caught needing it due to reasons out of my control at short notice. The team their were fantastic! Very clear in what they were telling me and allowing me to view and understand everything before I decided on the unit. My husband and I only used it for a short period but in that time all the stress was taken away simply from the level of service we received on site! The facilities are great and the drive in unloading areas were brilliant as when we moved in it was throwing it down! Thankyou so much I will highly reccomend your site to others.
