Accessibility at Storage Blackheath
Storage Blackheath is committed to providing a website and storage booking experience that is accessible and usable for as many people as possible. We want customers in the Blackheath area and beyond to be able to research, compare, and reserve accessible storage with confidence, regardless of technology or ability.
Our Accessibility Commitment
Our goal is to align this website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to 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 view accessibility as an ongoing process. As our storage services in Blackheath grow and change, we will continue to review and improve our website to maintain and enhance accessibility.
Support for Screen Readers
The Storage Blackheath website is designed to work with modern screen reader software and assistive technologies. We aim to ensure that:
Page headings, titles, and sections are logically structured to provide a clear reading order. Images that convey essential information include alternative text so that screen readers can describe their purpose. Form fields used for storage quotes, reservations, and enquiries have descriptive labels and instructions. Important information about accessible storage options in the Blackheath area is presented in text rather than relying solely on images.
We continually review content to avoid unnecessary jargon and to use plain language so that information about units, opening hours, and services is easier to understand when read aloud.
Keyboard Navigation
We aim to ensure that all key functions on the Storage Blackheath website can be accessed without a mouse. Keyboard users should be able to:
Navigate through menus and pages using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and arrow keys. Identify where the current focus is on the page with a visible focus indicator. Access forms to get a storage quote, check availability, or send an enquiry using only the keyboard. Reach and use key interactive elements, such as buttons and controls, without encountering keyboard traps.
If you experience any difficulty using the website with a keyboard, please contact us so we can investigate and improve.
Visual Design and Readability
To support customers looking for accessible storage in the Blackheath area, we have paid attention to visual clarity and readability. We use colour contrasts intended to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios so that text is easier to read for users with low vision or colour vision deficiencies. Text sizing is designed to be resizable using standard browser tools without loss of content or functionality.
Layout and spacing are used to separate sections clearly, helping users focus on key information such as unit sizes, pricing, and access details.
Compatibility and Testing
The Storage Blackheath website is tested on a range of modern browsers and devices. We aim to support current versions of major browsers and standard operating system accessibility features, including text enlargement, high contrast modes, and screen readers where available.
While we strive for broad compatibility, older or unsupported browsers may not provide the best experience. We encourage users to keep their browsers and assistive technologies up to date.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is not a one-time project. As we add new content and features, such as updated information on accessible storage units in the Blackheath area or online account tools, we review them for compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA where reasonably possible.
We welcome feedback from customers, visitors, and accessibility specialists, as this helps us identify issues that automated testing may not detect.
Contact for Accessibility Requests

When you contact us about an accessibility issue, please include details of the page or feature you were trying to use, the type of device and browser you were using, and any assistive technology involved.
