Anyone know of self storage units with sprinklers?

This summer we were forced to move out of our home by our neighbours fire, and we have a lot of stuff in store at our local self storage unit. I noticed recently that a Shurgard self storage unit in Croydon burnt down earlier this year, , so completely it has been impossible to identify the reason. The total contents of 1200 lockers were destroyed.

More recently a timber framed block of flats in Worcester Park went the same way..It turns out no building in the UK under 18 m tall/,built before 2007: is required to have sprinklers installed.

I have some family stuff in my storage unit which has only sentimental value but do not want to lose. The unit does not have a sprinkler system. I should like to store it in a locker or unit which is protected by sprinklers. Anyone know of any company which offers this? Ideally in Greater London area.

Find a place that uses shipping containers also you would have to be very very unlucky for your stuff to be destroyed by fire after the near miss with your neighbours.

if you do find one, make sure that your stuff is stored in waterproof containers or packaging, otherwise it could be damaged or destroyed by water rather than by fire.
