Islanders Recommend 7dayselfstore

Competitive Price, Extra Height Units, Helpful – 7Day Self Store

That’s the verdict of qualified electrician Ian Champion, who was our very first customer when we opened a year ago.

Ian, who runs Champion and Son appliance and electrical repairs, says he switched from a different self store because of what 7dayselfstore offered. “I was at a different self store, but the height of the units there weren’t good enough for me. When I heard this place was getting built, I came to view it and it was perfect for me. It enables me to stand my 3 metre length conduit upright. I can stack multiple appliances on top of each other.” Units at 7dayselfstore have ceiling heights of up to 12.5 feet/3.8 metres.

Highly recommended

Ian, who has been highly recommended by people on Facebook, also said a focus on customer care was another deciding factor in moving and sticking with 7dayselfstore.com. On a recent post on the Good or Bad Guernsey businesses Facebook page, a positive review of Ian was liked by 140 people. “I think you have got a very competitive price and for the quality of units here, it’s good value for money.”
