Fire-Safe Storage Solutions

For organisations that need the highest level of protection for their most critical records, Document Options provides secure fire-safe document storage. We supply and manage purpose-built fire safes within our facility, designed to protect essential documents and media from fire, heat, and smoke damage.

If your business already owns certified fire safes, we can relocate and securely store them at our premises — giving you the flexibility to retain your existing specialist equipment while benefiting from our monitored, access-controlled environment.

All fire-safe units are housed within our alarmed, CCTV-monitored facility, combining advanced physical protection with the same security, inventory control, and fast retrieval options as our standard storage service.

This is the ideal solution for safeguarding irreplaceable, high-value, or legally sensitive records where maximum protection is essential.
