Shredsec’s one-off shredding service provides secure document destruction without contracts or ongoing commitments. Whether you’re clearing out an office, purging archives past their retention period, or disposing of a deceased relative’s paperwork, we collect and shred your material quickly and securely.
No minimum volumes. No booking fees. Just contact us, arrange a convenient time, and we’ll handle everything.
When to Use One-Off Shredding
Our on-demand shredding service is perfect for:
Office clearouts Relocating premises? Closing a branch? We’ll clear years of accumulated paperwork in a single visit. Our team can process entire rooms of filing cabinets efficiently.
End of retention period Financial records (6 years), personnel files (6 years after leaving), tax documents (6 years), medical records (8 years) – when retention periods expire, we securely destroy your archives.
Annual purges Many businesses conduct yearly document reviews. Rather than overloading your regular collection, book a one-off clearout.
Project completions Finished a contract or closed a case? Dispose of working papers and drafts securely.
Restructuring and redundancy Sensitive HR documents from organisational changes need secure disposal.
Bereavement and house clearance Dealing with a loved one’s estate often involves decades of personal documents. We handle these situations sensitively.
Moving house Don’t transport boxes of old paperwork to your new home. Clear out before you move.
Business closure Winding up a company requires proper disposal of client records, accounts and correspondence.
