Guide For Office Moves
Even the most organised office team can overlook important details when relocating; it's an extraordinary event, likely to cause significant business disruption if anything is forgotten. We can help you with that!
Moving offices can be a huge undertaking, but with our 40 years' experience, we are the ideal removals provider. We provide guidance and advice throughout the process, so nothing is forgotten and disruption is minimalised. To help you get started planning your office move, please refer to our guide.
When planning for a removals service, you can choose to take a full tender approach or a more "I will do that myself" route. Whatever your decision, we will carry out an on-site survey and present you with a detailed estimate. Before that happens, ask yourself if you require us to pack and unpack items or provide long or short term storage? Do any objects need special care for transportation? Also, assess what will be taken away and left behind, as well as having the floor plans of your future office ready. Lastly, inform us of any access restrictions or parking arrangements that may occur at each property so that we may be able to give you the most precise quotation possible.
Before moving, create an inventory for each room, office or department and make sure to label everything. We can provide packing materials and also offer a packing and unpacking service. This could save you time and energy during the removal process; your staff wouldn't have to stop their work in order to pack all items. Instead, we handle the removals on our own during an overnight or weekend move if necessary.
Your building is going to dictate the specifics, but when you're in the process of relocating, don't forget to notify your electricity, gas, water and telephone/Internet services and any vendors that normally send items to you. Additionally, make sure you make arrangements with Royal Mail to have your mail redirected.
It's important to keep us informed of any alterations to the agreed moving dates and times. Make sure all necessary arrangements for accommodating our removal vehicles at both your old and new addresses have been considered. Additionally, we need keys or access codes in order to gain entry into the new property so that our team can get started on unloading and unpacking according to your scheduled plans and supplied inventory list.
It's important to keep your team up to date with developments so that they are able to ensure that all is backed up, safeguarded and ready for any unforeseen issues such as connection troubles at the new office. Make sure those in charge of the move understand their responsibility and have every key plan or other requisite necessary for running the job efficiently.
