London archive storage gas suppression
When your business makes the decision to store critical, irreplaceable, or sensitive assets off-site—from legal documents and financial records to high-value equipment or fine art—you are prioritizing security. But what does “secure” truly mean in the world of archival storage?
In London, many storage providers offer the basics: locked units, CCTV, and perhaps climate control. Archive UK Ltd believes the basics are not enough. We understand that while theft is a concern, the most common threats to physical archives are environmental: specifically, fire and water damage.
The Invulnerability Factor: Gas Suppression
A standard sprinkler system will prevent a fire from spreading, but it does so by flooding the area—a process that simultaneously saves the building and destroys the water-sensitive documents, magnetic media, and paper records stored inside. For businesses that cannot afford to lose their physical archives, this is a devastating trade-off.
This is why Archive UK Ltd is the only archive company in London offering full gas suppression safety in all our environments.
Instead of water, our system releases an inert gas upon detecting a fire. This gas safely and rapidly suppresses the combustion process by removing the oxygen required for the fire to burn, leaving your documents, art, and equipment untouched and completely dry. It is the gold standard for archival protection.

Key Takeaway: If your London archive storage doesn’t include full gas suppression, your documents are not fully protected from fire and water damage.
