Archive Storage FAQ

Like with any form of storage pricing varies dependent on the total quantity of space used. We calculate this by cubic feet and offer competitive rates for both small and large requirements. Get in touch for a competitive document storage quote today.

We invoice monthly in advance for storage costs and monthly in arrears for any additional services that you use.

If you aren’t satisfied with your service we believe you should be able to leave. This is why we don’t insist on long contract terms. Our standard agreement is for an initial 12 month period, after which the service can be cancelled any time with 90 days written notice. We believe our service speaks for itself, so if you have any concerns let us know – we can be pretty flexible with our terms.

Only us. Your files are picked by our operations staff in our records storage centres and transported by fully vetted Secure Data Management drivers in our own vehicles.

Yes – our staff sign confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and never look inside your boxes unless given written permission to do so. Further, the unique barcode number is all we need for tracking, so details of box contents don’t need to be written on the box.

Unfortunately not. As with most storage companies we can’t cover for consequential loss as the value of data is subjective. You will however receive much better insurance quotes by storing with us as our high security facilities provide a greater care of duty.

Yes, we take this very seriously. We are accredited by The Contractors Health & Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS).
