Office movesUpdated By Macclesfield Removals

A practical guide to moving an office in Macclesfield

An office move works when someone owns the list, the IT is already off, and the new floor plan is on paper.

Desks and crates prepared for an office move

An office move in Macclesfield fails when everyone assumes someone else labelled the crates. It works when one person has the plan, the landlord has agreed the hours, and the computers are off before we arrive.

Decide what moves

Desks, chairs, pedestals and sealed archive boxes are the usual load. Leased copiers, phone systems and servers are not, unless your supplier has released them. Fitted reception desks sometimes belong to the landlord. Check the lease before you add them to the list. The full service is described on office removals.

Make a simple floor plan of the new place. Label crates by person or by room to match it. We place what the label says. We do not redesign the office on the day.

Buildings in and near the town

Suites above shops in the centre mean stairs and a bay. Units towards Hurdsfield may have a yard and a shutter, which is easier, and still need a time the estate will allow a van. Tytherington and Alderley Edge have smaller offices too. Tell us both addresses and the lift rules. If the goods lift is only available before 8am, that is the slot, not a preference.

The week of the move

Staff should empty personal drawers, back up what they must, and shut machines down. Confidential papers should already be in sealed boxes. We move them as a counted load. We do not sort or shred them.

Get a quote with the desk count and the dates. It stays valid for 3 months. Insurance is provided. Ask us what is covered when you book. On the day, have a manager on site who can say which room is finance and which is the meeting room. A van full of identical crates is only useful if the labels are right.

Frequently asked questions

Will you set up the computers?

No. We move equipment your IT contact has already shut down. Networks and servers stay with your supplier.

Can it be at the weekend?

Often, if the building allows it. Tell us the last hour staff need the old office and the first hour they need the new one.

Moving tips

Downsizing in Macclesfield

A smaller home is a sorting job first and a van job second. Flats, bungalows and fewer rooms change the list.
