Accessibility at Self Storage Stockwell
Self Storage Stockwell is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for all customers, visitors, and staff. This accessibility statement explains the steps we are taking to make our website, online booking tools, and on-site self storage facilities in the Stockwell area easier to use for everyone, including people with disabilities.
Our Accessibility Commitment
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, level AA. These guidelines are recognised internationally as the standard for creating accessible digital content. By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA, we want to ensure that our self storage information, prices, and services in Stockwell are available to the widest possible audience.
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website, policies, and physical facilities so that customers with different needs can access safe, secure, and convenient self storage in the Stockwell area.
Website Accessibility and Screen Readers
Our website is designed to work with common screen-reader software so that users who are blind or have low vision can explore our self storage options in Stockwell. We aim to provide clear headings, logical content structure, and descriptive alternative text for important images such as icons, diagrams, or directional signs.
Where images are purely decorative, we aim to ensure they do not create unnecessary noise for screen-reader users. We also strive to use plain, straightforward language and meaningful link labels so that you can understand where a link will take you and what information it will provide.
Keyboard Navigation
The Self Storage Stockwell website is designed so that you can navigate most pages using a keyboard alone, without a mouse or trackpad. This is particularly important for people who use assistive technologies or who have mobility or dexterity impairments.
We aim to ensure that:
All interactive elements, such as menus, forms, and buttons, can be focused using the keyboard.
The focus order follows a logical sequence that matches the visual layout.
Visible focus indicators show you where you are on the page as you tab through elements.
Keyboard traps are avoided so you can always move forward or backward through the page using standard keyboard commands.
Text, Colour, and Layout
To support users with visual impairments or reading difficulties, we aim to provide sufficient colour contrast between text and background and to avoid relying on colour alone to convey meaning. We design our layouts to be clear and uncluttered, with readable font sizes and adequate spacing.
Where possible, text can be resized in your browser without loss of content or functionality. We also aim to present important information in a consistent way across the site so it is easier to recognise and use.
Accessibility of Our Stockwell Facilities
In addition to our website, we work to improve the physical accessibility of our self storage facilities in and around Stockwell. This may include step-free access where feasible, clear signage, good lighting, and staff training to support customers with different access needs.
If you are planning to visit a Self Storage Stockwell site and have specific accessibility requirements, we encourage you to contact us in advance so we can discuss how best to assist you.
Ongoing Improvements
We recognise that accessibility needs can change over time and that technology evolves. We periodically review our website and facilities to identify barriers that might affect people with disabilities, people using assistive technologies, or those with temporary impairments. Where we find issues, we will work to fix them as quickly as reasonably possible.
Contact for Accessibility Requests

Please include details of the page or service you were trying to use, the type of device and browser you are using, and any assistive technologies involved.
