Planning starts with a room-by-room list of furniture, filing, equipment and stock, drawn up with your contact. That list sets the order of work, the crew, the vehicles and the time needed at each building.
Staff label crates and desk contents with numbers from a floor plan of the new premises. The crew sets each item down at the matching desk or room, and larger moves can run one floor or department at a time.
What the work covers
Desks, chairs, cabinets and meeting room furniture moved and placed to your floor plan.
Files packed into crates and labelled with their destination, or cabinets moved full where they lock and are not overloaded.
Computers, monitors and printers packed and carried, with reconnection left to your IT provider.
Shop stock, surgery equipment and stores listed with your contact and moved in the agreed order.
One floor or department moved at a time where the business needs to keep working.
Questions people ask
How much does an office removal cost?
It depends on the number of workstations, the volume of filing and equipment, the distance, the building rules at each end and whether the move runs in stages.
Who reconnects our computers and phones?
The crew moves and places the equipment. Reconnecting networks, servers, phone systems and printers is usually done by your IT provider.
Can part of the office keep working during the move?
Where the move is planned in stages, one team or floor moves while the rest keep working. Tell us which teams have to stay operational and on which dates.
Do we need to empty filing cabinets?
It depends on the cabinet. Some can travel with files inside if they lock and are not overloaded, and others need emptying into crates. Send photos of the cabinets and say how full they are.
What do we need from our landlord or managing agent?
Lift bookings, loading bay times, access hours and any documents they ask to see before work starts, at both the old and new buildings.
