What you actually get
Evenings, weekends and bank holidays, priced as normal work rather than as an emergency.
Lidded, stackable crates delivered a week ahead and collected once you've unpacked.
The usual complaints
Five things that go wrong, and how we avoid them.
Every one of these came from a customer telling us about the last firm they used.
01
“Every hour the office is shut is an hour nobody is billing.”
We load after close and unload before open. Most small offices move across a single evening or a Saturday.
02
“Nobody knows which box belongs to which desk.”
Crates are labelled to a numbered floor plan before they leave. Placement follows the plan, not guesswork.
03
“The lease ends on the 31st and the landlord wants it clear.”
We work to your dilapidations date, including a clearance run for the furniture you're not taking with you.
04
“IT kit gets thrown in a box with the cables.”
Screens and machines are wrapped individually, cables bagged and tagged to their desk. We move and place — we don't touch your network.
05
“Access is a nightmare — one lift, a loading bay with a time slot.”
We survey both ends first and book the bay and the lift with building management before the date is fixed.
Capabilities
What the service covers
What we can help with. Confirm the scope and inclusions when you book.
02
Crate hire included
Lidded, stackable crates delivered a week ahead and collected once you've unpacked.
03
Floor-plan placement
You number the desks, we label to match. Crates land at the right desk, not in a pile by the door.
04
IT handling
Monitors and machines wrapped individually, peripherals bagged per desk, everything set on the desk it belongs to.
05
Phased relocations
Departments moved in stages across several evenings so the business never fully stops.
06
Clearance runs
Old furniture removed to a licensed facility so you hand back an empty unit.

Questions
About business & office moves specifically
General questions about booking, insurance and payment are on the questions page.
Yes, and it's how most commercial moves run. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays are quoted at the same standard rate — the point of a business move is that it happens when the business is closed.
No, and we'd be wary of anyone who says they will. We wrap, move and place your IT on the correct desk with its cables bagged and labelled, then your own IT provider plugs it in and tests it.
Yes. Building managers usually want one before granting out-of-hours access, so tell us who to send it to and we'll get it over with our insurance certificates.
Three to four weeks is comfortable — it gives time for the survey, the building access permissions and a week of crates on site. We can move faster than that when a lease date forces it.
