Everything You Need for a Smooth Office Move

Business relocations require precision and planning. Our commercial removal service is built around keeping your downtime to an absolute minimum.

Minimal Downtime

We plan every commercial move in detail to ensure your business loses as little operational time as possible. Early starts, late finishes and weekend slots are all available.

IT Equipment Handling

Servers, monitors, desktop computers and networking equipment are packed and transported with specialist care. We use anti-static wrapping and designated containers for all IT assets.

Office Furniture & Fit-Out

Desks, chairs, meeting room tables, storage cabinets and reception furniture are carefully disassembled, transported and reassembled in your new premises to your floor plan.

Files & Archive Boxes

Sensitive documents, archive files and filing cabinets are handled securely. We can label and number boxes to your specification to make unpacking and refiling straightforward.

Fully Insured

All commercial moves are covered by comprehensive goods-in-transit and public liability insurance. You'll receive full documentation before the move begins.

Dedicated Move Manager

Every commercial relocation is assigned a dedicated move manager who coordinates logistics, keeps your team updated and is your single point of contact on the day.

Commercial Moves of Any Scale

From a two-person start-up to a multi-floor corporate office, we have the capacity and experience to handle it.

Small Offices & Start-Ups

Fast, cost-effective moves for small teams. We get you relocated and operational without the cost of hiring a large crew you don't need.

Corporate Office Relocations

Multi-floor, multi-van moves planned meticulously over weeks. We work with your facilities manager to produce a detailed move schedule.

Retail & Hospitality

Shops, restaurants and hospitality businesses need speed. We work overnight and over weekends to have you trading again on Monday morning.

How We Deliver a Minimal-Downtime Office Move

The J J Removals team plans every commercial relocation backwards from one question: when does your team need to be working again?

  1. 1
    Free Site Survey — We visit both premises, count desks, IT and storage, check lifts, loading bays and parking, and give you a fixed written quote with no hidden fees. Where needed, we arrange parking permits or suspensions in advance.
  2. 2
    Plan Around Your Business Hours — We agree a move plan with your office manager that fits your working week: crates delivered in advance, desks and boxes labelled to a floor plan, and your booking confirmed in writing.
  3. 3
    The Out-of-Hours Move — We move you in the evening or over the weekend so the business stays open. We regularly carry out out-of-hours office relocations at MediaCityUK, so late finishes and overnight schedules are routine for our team.
  4. 4
    Monday-Ready Set-Up — Furniture is reassembled to your floor plan, crates land in their labelled zones, and we walk the space with you before we leave — so your team sits down and works on Monday morning.

Moving Your Office Yourself vs Using a Commercial Removals Team

The hire van is the cheapest line on the budget. The real cost of a DIY office move is downtime: salaries paid while nobody can work, missed calls, and a slow restart while furniture and IT are put back together.

Moving it yourselves A commercial removals team
Who does the lifting Your staff — on salaried time, without training or lifting equipment A vetted, background-checked crew with the right kit for the job
Downtime The move happens in working hours, so the business effectively closes while it happens Out-of-hours moves in the evening or at the weekend — trading hours protected
Insurance Damaged equipment and injured staff are usually your problem Goods-in-transit and public liability insurance on every job
IT equipment Carried loose in car boots and personal vans Anti-static wrapped and transported in designated containers
The real cost Looks free — but every hour your team spends carrying boxes is a salaried hour that produces nothing One fixed written price agreed before the move — while your team keeps working

That's why we plan office moves around your calendar, not ours: survey first, out-of-hours move, and a Monday-ready set-up at the other end. If timing matters, book early — the general guidance for removals is around 4–6 weeks ahead of moving day, earlier in summer (Compare My Move).

Three Typical Manchester Office Moves

These illustrative scenarios show how we typically approach common commercial relocations across Greater Manchester — they are examples, not specific past jobs.

A small studio or agency, Northern Quarter to Ancoats

A typical small-office move: eight to ten desks, monitors and a meeting table packed into crates on Friday evening, moved and reassembled on Saturday, team back at their desks on Monday. For scale, a driver with a helper and a medium van typically costs £50–£80 per hour on the open market (Compare the Man and Van, updated Mar 2026); your own move gets a fixed written quote after the site survey.

An out-of-hours corporate move at MediaCityUK

The kind of relocation we regularly carry out at MediaCityUK: building access agreed with facilities management in advance, crates and IT labelled to a desk plan, an evening load-out after office hours, and the new space set up before the next working day begins.

A single-floor relocation in the city centre

A typical mid-size job: one floor of a professional services firm, 25–30 desks. Crates arrive midweek so staff pack their own desks, furniture is dismantled on Friday evening, and everything is moved and rebuilt to the new floor plan over the weekend — with the whole job insured and confirmed in writing beforehand.

Office Removals Manchester — Your Questions Answered

How do you minimise downtime during an office move?

By moving when you're not working. We survey both sites, plan the move around your business hours, carry out the physical move in the evening or over the weekend, then set furniture and crates up to your floor plan so the office is ready before your team returns. In our experience, most disruption in an office move comes from poor sequencing rather than the lifting itself — the planning stage is where downtime is won or lost.

Can you move our office in the evening or at the weekend?

Yes. Out-of-hours moves are standard practice for us — we regularly carry out out-of-hours office relocations at MediaCityUK. Our office is open Monday to Saturday, 7am–7pm, for enquiries, but the move itself can run in the evening or across a weekend so you don't lose trading hours.

Are office moves insured?

Yes. Every J J Removals job carries both goods-in-transit and public liability insurance, and you receive the insurance documentation and written booking confirmation before the move begins.

How far in advance should we book an office move?

For a small office, the general guidance for booking a removals company — around 4–6 weeks before moving day, and earlier in summer (Compare My Move) — is a sensible minimum. For a multi-floor relocation, start the conversation as early as you can: the survey, floor plan and out-of-hours schedule all benefit from lead time. We respond to quote requests within 2 hours.

How do you handle IT equipment and desks?

Standard commercial-move practice is to treat IT separately from furniture: monitors, desktops and networking kit are anti-static wrapped and carried in designated containers, while desks are dismantled, labelled and reassembled to your new floor plan. Labelling everything to a desk-numbering plan before the move makes the set-up at the other end far faster.
