Secure Document Archiving FAQs – London, Essex & South East

What types of documents can be stored in your secure archive facility?

We store a wide range of confidential business records including legal case files, client documentation, financial records, HR files, medical notes, compliance paperwork, and long-term company archives. All documents are handled within a secure, professionally managed warehouse environment designed specifically for sensitive information storage.

Do you offer document collection from offices in London and the South East?

Yes. Our logistics team can collect archive boxes directly from your premises across London, Essex, and the wider South East. Documents are transported securely using our fleet of professional vehicles and delivered straight to our controlled-access archive facility in Grays, ensuring a fully managed and traceable transfer process.

How secure is your document storage facility?

Your records are stored within an access-controlled warehouse environment featuring monitored premises, structured storage systems, and trained in-house staff who specialise in confidential document handling. Security, traceability, and controlled access are central to every stage of our archiving process, from intake through to retrieval.

Can we request files back when we need them?

Absolutely. We provide organised indexing and managed retrieval services so specific boxes or files can be located quickly and returned to your business when required. This allows you to maintain full operational access to important records while keeping them securely stored off-site.

How quickly can documents be retrieved or redelivered?

Retrieval times depend on your organisation’s requirements, but our structured archive management system is designed for efficient access. Many clients arrange scheduled or priority retrieval services to ensure important files are available exactly when needed for audits, legal matters, or operational use.

Do you supply archive boxes and packing materials?

Yes. We can provide purpose-designed archive boxes suitable for A4 files, lever arch folders, and oversized documents. Our team can also advise on packing and preparation to ensure records remain protected during handling, transport, and long-term storage.

Is your document archiving suitable for regulated industries?

Yes. Our service is widely used by solicitors, accountants, healthcare providers, estate agents, and corporate organisations that must retain records securely for compliance, audit, or legal reasons. Our structured handling and controlled storage environment supports long-term regulatory requirements.

How much document storage space do we need?

This depends on how many archive boxes or files you plan to store. Some businesses store a small number of compliance records, while others transfer entire archive rooms off-site. Our team will assess your requirements and recommend a scalable storage solution that grows with your organisation.

Do you offer short-term and long-term document storage?

We provide flexible storage durations to suit both temporary and permanent archiving needs. Whether you need storage during an office move, renovation, or for statutory record retention over many years, we can tailor the solution to your timeframe.

Is document archiving more cost-effective than keeping files in the office?

In most cases, yes. Moving archived paperwork off-site frees valuable office space, reduces on-site storage costs, and provides a more secure and professionally managed environment. Many London businesses find off-site archiving significantly more efficient than dedicating expensive workspace to long-term file storage.
