Free Electric Vehicle Charging
To support more sustainable travel, Vanguard Bath provides free electric vehicle charging in the main car park. The charging point is located close to the entrance so you can leave your EV to charge while you unload boxes, visit your unit or use other facilities on site.
Charging is available to storage customers at no additional cost, aligning with the branch’s wider sustainability features that include a rooftop solar array and efficient heating systems.
Free Man & Van Service for New Customers
New customers at Vanguard Bath can take advantage of a complimentary Man & Van service, helping to move items from home or business premises into storage. This service:
- Covers a trip from within roughly a five‑mile radius of the facility.
- Includes a driver and vehicle to help transport belongings securely.
- Is subject to a minimum stay and booking terms, which are explained on the Bath page.
For many customers, this removes much of the cost and stress of arranging separate transport, especially during busy house moves or when shifting business stock.
Meeting Room Hire and Business Amenities
Business customers can use a purpose‑built meeting room at Vanguard Bath, creating a professional space close to stored documents, stock or equipment. The room typically includes:
- Comfortable seating and a quiet, private environment.
- Free Wi‑Fi to support online calls or presentations.
- Refreshments via the customer lounge and reception.
This makes the Bath facility a practical base for client meetings, interviews or ad‑hoc remote work alongside business storage. Additional services across the Vanguard network, such as serviced offices, further support commercial users who need a flexible mix of workspace and storage.
Complimentary Refreshments and Customer Lounge
On arrival, customers are welcomed into a modern reception and lounge area where complimentary tea and coffee are available. The lounge provides a comfortable spot to:
- Take a break between loading and unloading.
- Meet family, friends or colleagues.
- Review paperwork or plan how to arrange a unit.
This focus on comfort helps distinguish Vanguard Bath from more basic storage sites and is regularly mentioned in coverage of the facility’s design.
Free Porter Service and On-Site Support
The Bath team offers a free porter service to help with heavy or bulky items on move‑in and move‑out days. Porters can assist with:
- Moving items from vehicles to trolleys.
- Handling awkward loads through doors and corridors.
- Positioning larger pieces inside units.
Staff are on site during office hours to answer questions, demonstrate access systems and provide general support, contributing to a smoother storage experience overall.
Packing Supplies, Trolleys and Lifts
To make moving items into storage easier, Vanguard Bath stocks a full range of packing supplies on site, including boxes, tape, bubble wrap and protective covers. This means you can pick up extra materials if you run short or decide to add more items to storage.
Across the building you will find:
- Trolleys to move heavy or multiple boxes at once.
- Lifts serving all floors, including two 3.5‑tonne Kone lifts designed for a high‑capacity facility.
- Wide corridors that allow larger furniture and equipment to be manoeuvred safely.
These features are particularly helpful for customers visiting alone or handling significant volumes of items.
Accessibility and Inclusive Facilities
Vanguard Bath is designed to be accessible to as many customers as possible. Key features include:
- Step‑free entrances and level access from the car park and loading bay.
- Wide corridors and lift access to all floors, making it easier to move wheelchairs, mobility aids and large trolleys.
- Accessible toilets and staff support for customers with specific requirements.
This layout helps ensure that students, families, older customers and people with disabilities can use the facility comfortably and independently.
Secure Parking and Loading Bay
Customers benefit from free parking in a CCTV‑monitored car park at the front of the building. A large, dedicated loading bay sits just outside the main entrance, so vehicles can be parked close to lifts and trolleys when loading or unloading.
These features are particularly useful for:
- House moves involving multiple trips.
- Tradespeople and business users with vans or larger vehicles.
- Students and families arriving with hired vehicles or friends’ cars.
Flexible Storage Options for Different Customers
Amenities at Vanguard Bath are matched by flexible storage options. The branch offers:
- Short‑term lockers and smaller units for students and personal storage.
- Medium and large units for home moves, decluttering projects and longer‑term personal storage.
- A wide range of sizes, including larger rooms, for business stock, equipment and archives, with the ability to adjust space as needs change.
Contracts are designed to be adaptable, and customers can move between unit sizes, subject to availability, as life or business circumstances evolve.
Security and Peace of Mind as Standard
All of these amenities sit within a security framework that includes individually alarmed units, 24/7 CCTV, controlled access, and advanced fire and intruder detection systems. Noke Smart Entry digital locks are used on units, allowing customers to access their storage via a secure app and limiting who can enter each space.
Together, the amenities and security features are intended to make Vanguard Bath a comfortable, efficient and reassuring place to store belongings, whether for a few weeks or many months.
