Off-Site Document Storage That Frees Office Space
London office space is expensive. Therefore, using valuable rooms for old files may not make sense.
Off-site document storage London gives that space back to your business. Instead, you can use it for staff, meetings, stock or new work areas.
At the same time, your archive stays away from busy office areas. So, files can be easier to organise and manage.
Moving premises too? Our Office Removals London service can combine packing, relocation, and storage into a single managed plan.
Secure Business Records Storage
Security matters when storing company files.
PICK&MOVE provides monitored storage with CCTV and controlled access. In addition, packing and inventory options are available where required.
If your archive contains personal data, your business should also consider how long those records need to be retained. The Information Commissioner’s Office guidance on storage limitation explains that personal data should not be kept for longer than necessary and recommends appropriate retention policies.
Therefore, archive storage should form part of a clear records-management process rather than simply keeping documents indefinitely.
Archive Box Storage for Short or Long Terms
Not every business needs the same storage period. For that reason, we offer flexible storage in archive boxes for short and long stays.
Archive storage can help during:
- Office relocations
- Refurbishments
- Lease changes
- Business expansion
- Records reviews
- Long-term document retention
For records that need to stay off-site for longer, our Long-Term Storage London service provides managed collection, secure storage and redelivery.
Store what you need now. Then, arrange a return when the files are required.
Archive Storage vs Self-Storage
Traditional self-storage often creates more work.
You may need to hire a van. Staff may also have to carry boxes and make repeated journeys to the storage facility.
PICK&MOVE works differently.
We collect, store and return your business records for you.
Therefore, your employees can stay focused on their work. There is no need to manage storage transport yourself.
You can also explore our wider Storage Solutions London service for other commercial storage requirements.
Professional Archive Packing
Poorly packed documents can be difficult to organise and retrieve.
For that reason, PICK&MOVE can provide boxes and professional packing support. Clear labelling can also help keep your archive organised from the start.
Our packing and unpacking services are available for businesses that want help preparing files, office contents or other items for storage.
Simple Document Retrieval
Good archive storage is not only about creating more space. You also need to know what has been stored.
Clear box labels make records easier to track. An inventory can help too.
Plus, an organised archive makes future document retrieval much simpler.
Need stored records again? Simply arrange delivery back to your office.
How Long Should Business Records Be Stored?
There is no single retention period for all types of documents.
Instead, the correct period depends on the record, its purpose and any legal or regulatory requirements that apply to your organisation.
The National Archives guidance on records retention recommends keeping information only for as long as it is needed for business, legal or historical purposes.
Therefore, businesses should use an appropriate retention policy and review stored records regularly.
