Accessibility at Storage Harefield
Storage Harefield is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for everyone who uses our storage services in the Harefield area. We want our digital services and customer touchpoints to be easy to use, regardless of your technology, abilities, or access needs. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we are taking to improve accessibility and how you can contact us if you need support.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, level AA. These guidelines help make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
We understand that accessibility is an ongoing process and not a one-time task. As we update content or introduce new features for our Storage Harefield customers, we review them for accessibility and usability as part of our standard development work.
Accessible Storage Harefield Online Experience
We work to ensure that people in the Harefield area looking for accessible storage can use our online information and services with confidence. This includes providing clear navigation, readable text, and layouts that work on a range of devices and browser settings.
We aim to make it easy for customers to find information about unit sizes, access hours, site facilities, and pricing without facing unnecessary barriers. Our goal is to support customers who rely on assistive technologies, as well as those who prefer simplified layouts or larger text.
Screen Reader Compatibility
Our website is designed to work with commonly used screen readers by using structured headings, descriptive labels, and meaningful alt text for important images. We aim to ensure that content is announced in a logical order so that people using speech or braille output can find the information they need about Storage Harefield services.
Where possible, we avoid using images of text and ensure that essential content is available as real text that can be read by screen readers, translated, or resized without loss of clarity.
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse or trackpad. You should be able to move through menus, forms, and interactive elements using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and arrow keys.
We aim to provide a visible focus indicator so that keyboard users can clearly see which element is currently selected. Interactive features are designed to be reachable and usable via the keyboard, helping ensure that people with motor impairments or those using alternative input devices can access Storage Harefield information.
Text, Colour and Layout
We aim to use clear language, sufficient colour contrast, and a consistent layout across pages. This supports users with low vision, colour vision deficiency, or cognitive differences. Text can be resized using standard browser tools, and we endeavour to keep content readable and functional when zoomed.
Ongoing Improvements
We regularly review our website and customer journeys to identify and fix accessibility issues. As we add new features for Storage Harefield customers, we test them against WCAG 2.1 AA principles, including perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust content.
We also welcome feedback from customers, staff, and accessibility specialists so that we can prioritise improvements that matter most to the people who use our services.
Contact for Accessibility Requests

You can contact us using the standard contact methods listed on our website or by visiting our Harefield location and speaking to a member of the team. We will do our best to provide the information you need in an accessible format and to offer reasonable adjustments where possible.
Accessibility Feedback and Response Times
We take accessibility feedback seriously. When you contact us with an accessibility request, we aim to acknowledge your query promptly and provide an initial response within a reasonable timeframe. Some issues may take longer to investigate or fix, but we will keep you informed about our progress where appropriate.
Our intention is to make Storage Harefield a convenient and accessible choice for everyone in the local area, whether you are arranging personal storage, business storage, or long term solutions. Your feedback helps us to continue improving and to better support all our customers.
