Office removals · Est. 2010
Business moves planned around your working hours. Evenings, weekends or phased, with careful IT handling and a fixed quote agreed up front.
Man and a Van Southampton plans each office move around your business hours. We survey the space, agree a fixed quote and a moving plan, then move desks, chairs, IT hardware and filing in the evening, at the weekend or in phases. Furniture is rebuilt at the new premises so your team can start work the next morning.


Business movers
An office move only works if your business keeps running. That's why we plan every relocation around your schedule, not ours. We can move after close of business, over a weekend, or in phases one department at a time, so your phones stay answered and your customers barely notice.
Since 2010 we've helped Southampton businesses of every size relocate, from sole traders shifting a handful of desks to multi-room offices with server equipment, storage cabinets and meeting-room furniture. Our crews are careful with IT hardware, methodical about labelling, and focused on getting you working in your new premises as quickly as possible.
We move professional offices, agencies, clinics and treatment rooms, shops and showrooms, workshops, charities and serviced-office tenants across Southampton and Hampshire. We also clear and move furniture for landlords and facilities managers between tenancies.
You deal with the same small team from your first call to the last desk being rebuilt. There's no call centre and no agency staff, just people who know your plan and turn up when they say they will.

How it works
Six steps from first call to your team back at their desks.
Tell us both addresses, your preferred date and roughly how many desks, by phone, WhatsApp or the form.
We visit or video-survey both sites, check access and loading, and agree a written plan and fixed quote.
Your team packs personal items. We label furniture and boxes to the new floor plan, or pack for you.
We dismantle, wrap and load after close of business or at the weekend, room by room.
Desks and shelving are rebuilt and everything is placed to the floor plan.
Your team arrives to a working office. We collect any leftover boxes on request.
Local know-how
Every Southampton business location has its own access rules. After 15 years of commercial moves from our base on Hill Lane, this is what we check before moving day.
Offices around the city centre and Ocean Village often have shared lifts, loading bays and building managers. We agree lift bookings and loading times with your landlord in advance, and protect communal areas.
Moves to and from business parks around Chilworth, Nursling, Hedge End and Chandler's Ford usually mean easier parking but strict site rules. We work to your site's induction, access and security requirements.
Most of our Hampshire office moves use the M27, M271 and M3. Moving in the evening or at the weekend avoids the worst rush-hour traffic on the bridges and ring roads.
Parking tip: if your premises have no loading bay or the street is permit-only, apply to Southampton City Council to suspend a parking bay for moving day. Apply as early as you can, and tell us the location so we can plan the loading.
Office move checklist
What to do and when, so your business keeps running.
Confirm your lease dates, appoint a move lead in your team and book your removal company.
Draw up the new floor plan. Ask your IT provider to schedule disconnection, phone and internet moves.
Archive or securely shred old files, and decide which furniture moves and which is cleared.
Book lifts and loading bays at both buildings and arrange any parking bay suspension.
Update Google Business Profile, your website, Companies House, HMRC, your bank, suppliers and customers.
Staff clear their desks and label their boxes. We take care of everything else.
Why choose us
Moving with your own staff and a hired van can look cheaper, until you count the lost working days and the risk to equipment.

Reviews
Real reviews from our Google Business Profile.
★★★★★It was a small move but handily carried out, despite a steep and narrow staircase. The sofa had to be taken apart and put back together again, which was neatly and cheerfully accomplished. The move was well done.
