COMMERCIAL REMOVALS
Commercial removals can encompass a wide range of scenarios, from a small office relocation to large-scale industrial moves, hotels, shops, bars, restaurants, factories or warehouses
Do you need a Commercial Removals company?
Whatever your type of commercial premises, commercial removals involve detailed planning and execution, to ensure minimal disruption to your business operations.
If you are researching commercial removal companies to help with your commercial removals or office relocation, you may wish to check online reviews and ask for references from previous clients.
You should also ensure the company offers all the removal services you need, such as packing and crating, transportation, unpacking, and setting up. You will also need to ensure they are fully insured to cover your items during the move, and you may need to consider additional insurance if necessary.
Luckily our comprehensive corporate relocation services means that we are fully insured and have moved several companies to their new commercial premises.
Commercial Moving Service
Our commercial moving service can help you with:
Planning and Preparation
If possible, its best to start planning your commercial relocation several months in advance.
You should also try to choose a moving date that minimises disruption and significant downtime to your business operations, possibly during off-peak hours, over a weekend or perhaps even plan the move in stages.
We will help you to determine the size of your move (number of rooms, types of equipment) and any special requirements (fragile items, sensitive information, IT equipment, large bulky items and plant machinery or lab equipment).
Health & Safety / Risk Assessment
Due to the type of commercial removals involved, we will always ensure compliance with all health and safety regulations. If you need help and advice on any health and safety matters, our trusted business partners will be able to assist you. This can include completing a risk assessment to identify potential challenges and develop mitigation strategies during the move, to protect your employees and our movers.
Inventory Management
We will conduct a full inventory of stock, fixtures, fittings, machinery, tools, and materials with you. We would always suggest you reduce stock levels where possible before the move, through sales, temporary suspension of incoming stock or stock clearance.
Commercial waste disposal
If you identify any stock or items that you do not wish to take with you during the move, we can arrange for your commercial waste disposal through our clearances service.
Packing and Crating
We will securely pack all merchandise, display units, point-of-sale systems and IT systems. Special care is taken with fragile items. We will label all inventory, ensuring items are organised for efficient unloading and setup at your new location.
Transportation
We have a variety of transport vehicles in our fleet, suitable for small-medium or large-scale moves. We will always use the most suitable vehicle for your needs, to be able to remain cost effective and ensure that all your items are properly secured during transit, minimising the risk of any damage. We may also employ specialist equipment where required, such as cranes to transport heavy machinery and equipment.
Our commercial movers can help you arrange merchandise and fixtures according to your new layout. We will also work with external suppliers to ensure all systems are operational, including IT infrastructure, payment terminals and security systems.
Types of Commercial Removals
Here are some examples of the different types of commercial removals we can help with. However, we are not limited to these and can help with any type of commercial move, just ask us:
Office Relocation
Our specialist office removals service can help move large bulky items, deal with sensitive material and transport your employees’ belongings.
Retail Store Move
We can help you to relocate your retail store, for example if you’re a retail chain and may be relocating one of your stores to a more strategic location in a shopping centre.
Industrial Relocation
With our industrial moving equipment, we can deal with heavy lifting if a manufacturing plant or factory is relocating to a new facility, for example to expand production capabilities.
Working with your specialist partners, we can help to safely decommission machinery and equipment. This may involve disassembly and specialised handling, including any hazardous materials.
After the move we will reassemble and recommission machinery at your new site and conduct thorough testing to ensure all equipment is operational, working with any specialist providers where required.
Warehouse Relocation Services
If you are a warehouse or distribution company we can help if you are moving to a larger, or smaller, facility, for optimum storage capacity and improved logistics.
As part of our industrial moving services, we can also arrange for the safe transport of forklifts, shelving, and other heavy equipment. This may involve specialised moving equipment and vehicles.
We can also help with storage if this is something that may be required in the short, medium or long term.
Data Centre Relocation
We can help with data centre moves to a more secure and scalable facility.
It’s essential to back up all data securely before the move. You can then decommission servers, storage systems, and networking equipment safely.
We can work with your IT services company to facilitate this process. Alternatively, our trusted business partners will be able to assist you.
Due to the specialist nature of the equipment, we will use secure, climate-controlled vehicles for transportation and ensure continuous monitoring during transit.
