Our Approach to Office Moves

Every office relocation begins with a detailed survey. We visit your premises, assess the volume and type of items to be moved, identify any access challenges, and create a tailored relocation plan. This plan covers everything from IT disconnection schedules to furniture placement at your new premises.

• Pre-move site survey and detailed relocation plan
• Dedicated move manager as your single point of contact
• Out-of-hours, weekend, and bank holiday moves to minimise disruption
• IT equipment handling with anti-static packaging and labelling
• Desk, chair, and workstation disassembly and reassembly
• Crate hire for documents, files, and equipment (delivered before, collected after)
• Colour-coded labelling system so items go to the right desk/room
• Floor and lift protection throughout the move
• Confidential document shredding service available

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.
