Retrieve all source code

My employer has recently assigned me the role of "webmaster". My employer's site is hosted with a company that created the site. To make a long ugly story short, we are moving the site to another host. This may just be my suspicious mind, but I want to be certain we have as few problems as necessary. We do not have the FTP info, nor the actual website files. So, my question: Is there a way to retrieve all the source code of all the pages within the site as a means to have something concrete just in case the current host puts us in a bad position? Thank you.

It depends on the complexity of your website. If it is a "brochure" site of mainly static HTML, you will have no problem downloading the whole thing with something like wget. If it's an e-commerce site, there's nothing you can do from client-side to get the underlying code.
