Accessibility at Storage Upminster Bridge
Storage Upminster Bridge is committed to providing an accessible and convenient experience for all customers, including disabled customers, carers, and visitors using assistive technologies. This Accessibility Statement explains how we aim to make our storage services, information, and website as inclusive as possible for people in and around the Upminster Bridge area.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We are working towards meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines are internationally recognised standards that describe how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
Our goal is to ensure that customers looking for accessible storage in the Upminster Bridge area can find, understand, and use the information they need without unnecessary barriers. We review our website and services regularly to identify issues and make improvements.
Using Our Website with Assistive Technologies
The Storage Upminster Bridge website is designed to be compatible with modern screen readers and other assistive technologies. We aim for clear page structures, logical heading levels, and descriptive text so that visitors who rely on screen readers can navigate the site effectively and understand our storage options, opening times, and service information.
Where possible, we use plain, concise language and avoid unnecessary jargon to make content easier to read and understand for all users, including those with cognitive or learning disabilities.
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed to be navigable using only a keyboard. You should be able to move through menus, forms, and interactive elements using standard keyboard commands such as the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and arrow keys.
We aim to provide a clear visual focus indicator so that keyboard users can see where they are on the page at all times. Forms and controls are labelled where possible to support both screen reader and keyboard navigation.
Visual Design and Readability
We aim to maintain sufficient colour contrast between text and background to assist people with low vision. Text is resizable using standard browser settings so that visitors can increase or decrease the font size without losing content or functionality.
The layout is designed to be responsive, so it can be accessed on a range of devices and screen sizes, helping customers who rely on larger text or specific zoom levels to view information about storage in the Upminster Bridge area.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. While we strive for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, we recognise that some areas of our website or services may still need improvement. We periodically review our content, design, and technical features to identify barriers and work towards resolving them.
As we update our facilities and online information about Storage Upminster Bridge, we consider accessibility at each stage to better support customers with different needs.

Please provide details of the issue you encountered and the page or service you were using so that we can investigate and respond.
