Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office move cost?
Office moves are quoted individually based on volume, distance, complexity, and timing. Small office moves (5-10 workstations) in Bournemouth typically start from £800-£1,500. Larger relocations are quoted after survey.

Can you move us over a weekend?
Yes, weekend moves are our most popular option for commercial clients. We can start Friday evening and have you ready for business Monday morning.

Do you handle IT equipment?
We handle IT equipment with anti-static packaging and careful labelling. For complex server migrations, we recommend your IT team or provider handles disconnection and reconnection while we manage the physical move.

What about confidential documents?
All documents are moved in sealed, tamper-evident crates. We also offer confidential shredding for documents you no longer need.
