Legal Documents

Legal Documents

Storing legal documents is an essential yet often complicated process, with ever-expanding archives stipulating the need for more space in which to keep it. With legislative mandates making it compulsory to maintain deeds, criminal files and suchlike, it is vital that these papers are kept dry and secure in order to maintain their condition. We are skilled in providing instant, effective dehumidification with the preservation of your materials always regarded as priority. Having worked within your sector for almost fifty years, we understand the implications of damage or loss.

Manuscripts exposed to a humid environment are likely to turn mouldy when damp and consequently decay over time. In instances where retaining legal papers is necessary, this can cause problems in the future when needed for immediate reference or use.

Our expansive range of equipment and fully stocked depots mean we can always provide you with a swift, effective drying solution - irrespective of demand. By dispatching your order instantly, we eliminate the risk of dampness and ultimately help restore moisture-affected areas back to their original condition.

Historical Data

Historical Data

As with legal documents, historical data also requires protection from humid environments because of the effect it can have on paper material. This can comprise of business transactions, revenue spread-sheets or even stock price information, and needs to be held in a cool, dry place. Files of this variety, although normally sensitive and confidential, must be easily accessible for auditors, accountants and similar professionals.
