Storage for documents

Hi there. I have like 10 binders with documents, I would like to store these binders instead of taking them with me everytime I move a flat (which is a big hassle), I saw online some companies offer a storage of £1.00/month for a box of documents, but they won't do business with you unless if you store hundreds of boxes with them.

I was wondering if you guys know of any place that can offer me document storage for like 10 binders? I don't need a 10sqft space, I just need to store 1 nice box of binders. Do you guys know of any place in the UK that can let me store a box? I don't mind to pay for 5 years in advance (e.g. £1/month, then £12.00/year and then £60.00/5years, I don't mind to do that).

Do you have any suggestions?

  • Have you tried your bank? That used to be the place people went to store important documents, although I don't know if it still is.

    What sort of documents are in the binders?

    If they are bank statements and such like, could you scan them all and save them on your computer or a memory stick

    That is already done, but you never know, I might need the originals in the future for whatever reason that maybe, so I would like to save the papers just in case.
