Storage is only as good as the site it sits on, however close that site happens to be. Our Blackburn facility, serving Accrington and the wider Hyndburn area, is fenced throughout and entered through a controlled gate, with:

24-hour CCTV coverage - High-definition cameras keep watch over every part of the Blackburn site day and night, so your unit is covered whether you're five minutes away in Accrington or overseas for a month.

PIN-code entry system - Codes are given out one per customer, meaning only people with a legitimate reason get through the gate — and the system records precisely who entered and at what time.

Well-lit access areas - Movement sets the lights off straight away, so nipping over from Accrington after dark is every bit as easy as calling in at midday.

Regular site checks by staff - The site gets walked and checked regularly by our team, keeping security consistent and every unit clean, dry and well looked after.

Trusted Storage Solutions Near Accrington

SCA Self Storage Customer Services

SCA Self Storage started out in 1995, and more than 25 years on we’re still doing the same thing — keeping belongings secure, charging fairly, and staying open when people need us. That experience now sits four miles from Accrington, in purpose-built units run by staff who know the site inside out.

A handful of boxes, an entire household of furniture, or the tools and stock your business relies on — everything is handled with the same care and the same security. It’s why Accrington homes and firms keep coming back to us.

About Accrington

Accrington is a town of around 35,000 at the heart of Hyndburn, running seamlessly into Oswaldtwistle and Church and sitting a few minutes from Clayton-le-Moors, Huncoat and Rishton. Terraced streets dominate much of it, and terraced houses are famously short on storage — no garage, a yard rather than a garden, and a loft you can barely stand up in.

So the spare room becomes a dumping ground. Tools take over what space there is. Meanwhile local trades and small firms working from the industrial estates around Altham and Whitebirk hit the same wall — outgrowing their unit long before the lease allows a move.

The answer sits one junction west on the M65. SCA Self Storage Blackburn is on Glenfield Park off Philips Road — minutes from Accrington, open whenever you need it.

Comprehensive Security Measures for Your Peace of Mind

Leaving your possessions anywhere but home takes trust, whether the site’s four miles away or forty. Ours is built so nothing comes or goes without being logged — the first thing Accrington customers usually ask, and quite right too.

What keeps your unit safe:

  • CCTV Monitoring – Cameras record in high definition continuously, covering the entrance, the roadways and every unit row from one end to the other.
  • Motion-Activated Lighting – The lights come on the instant anything moves, putting off anyone who shouldn’t be around and making evening visits simple.
  • Secure Perimeter Fencing – A solid screened fence surrounds the entire site with a single controlled gate, so what’s stored inside can’t be seen from the road.
  • Keypad Entry System – Every customer has their own code, restricting access to people entitled to it and linking each entry back to a named individual.
  • Individually Locked Units – Each unit takes a heavy-duty sliding bolt padlock set inside a tamper-proof lock box, well out of reach of bolt croppers.

Furniture, family belongings or business stock — all of it protected the same way at SCA Self Storage Blackburn, a genuinely secure option for Accrington and across Hyndburn.
