Security for Your Records, at Every Stage

From our Preston storage centre, we protect paper records and original documents with controlled access and monitored security, from collection through to retrieval.

At Our Preston Centre

Security Inside and Around the Facility

Access, surveillance and response arrangements work together to protect the records in our care.

Internal Security

  • Visitors sign in and are accompanied in secure records areas. Visitors and contractors complete entry and confidentiality forms.
  • Fingerprint controls restrict entry to records and administration areas.
  • Internal and external CCTV operates around the clock. Recordings are retained for 30 days.
  • Intruder alarms are monitored 24 hours a day.

External Security

  • Perimeter fencing surrounds the storage site and the single entrance gate controls access.
  • External security lighting supports the CCTV system.
  • Alarm activation prompts contact with nominated key holders and the police according to the monitoring arrangements.

Collection, Storage and Access

A Clear Process from Collection to Retrieval

Our nationwide delivery service works alongside organised physical storage and facilities for clients who need to inspect records.

Nationwide Fleet

Collections and deliveries are carried out in our own tracked vehicles by uniformed drivers carrying photo ID. Same-day or next-day service depends on location and request time.

Organised Racking

We add our own barcode to each storage box, assign it a place in our modular steel racking and return it to the assigned position after retrieval.

Client Viewing Rooms

Private viewing rooms are available by appointment with at least 24 hours' notice, giving us time to prepare the boxes or documents you want to review.

For Original Documents

Additional Protection in Our Secure Vault

Wills, deeds and other important originals can be stored separately from general archive boxes. The vault is designed to provide up to two hours of fire resistance and is protected by monitored alarms and 24-hour CCTV.

Entry is controlled by fingerprint access. A fire suppression system provides an additional layer of protection for stored documents.
