Vanguard Self Storage is located on the site of the former Regency Laundry. After acquiring the land three years ago, the facility has been meticulously designed and constructed.
The premises boast 45,000 square feet of storage space across four floors. The exterior, crafted with Bath stone and bronze cladding, pays homage to the city’s historic character.
At the heart of the facility is a restored Vampire T11 aircraft, suspended prominently in the atrium.
The facility boasts several key features, including:
- A 75kWp rooftop solar array to offset energy consumption
- Electric vehicle charging bays
- Use of efficient air source heat pumps for heating
- Re-naturalisation of the site’s existing waterway
Will McCullagh, Managing Director of Vanguard Self Storage, said: “We take pride in providing high-quality self-storage services to the residents and businesses of Bath.

Designed by Bath firm Designscape Architects to meet the needs of both business and personal customers across the city, Vanguard’s storage solutions include individually alarmed and electronically locked storage units, 24/7 CCTV monitoring, a highly sensitive aspirating fire detection system, two 3.5-tonne Kone lifts for easy access to units across all the facility’s floors, and a dedicated lounge.
