If you are planning on relocating your office, it is absolutely essential that you find the best removal company for your needs, as this is by far the best way to ensure your commercial removal goes smoothly.
Not only do you need to find the best removal company but you also need to be clear about what you want from your removal company.
Here at Trek Removals, London, we offer a range of services designed to help you with the mammoth task of a commercial move and know through years of experience that every client is different and needs a bespoke approach. So whether you have the need for office removals or need a company that offers professional commercial removals we can help.
Perhaps most importantly we are a member of the BAR – British Association of Removals, which means we adhere to a specific set of ethics and code of conduct that is designed to ensure quality of service to you.
You may want to decide whether you want us to pack for you or perhaps might prefer to do that yourself and therefore, only need the materials to do it with. We can help on both counts of course and should you require us to pack for you, you will find that we have a lot of advice on the best way of doing this – hopefully causing a lot less hassle and problems for you when you move to your new location.
For many companies of course, they worry about their IT equipment and with good reason. After al your IT systems and computers are often at the hub of business today, so we will ensure that once your computers and systems are decommissioned they are then packed carefully to secure a safe arrival at their destination.
Once the high priorities are done, we can then look at carefully packing and putting your files and paperwork in special boxes, to ensure that confidentiality is maintained but that you also have a nicely organised packing system – which will mean that once you get to your new office or location, you can unpack with the minimal of fuss and not lose important business or trading time.
Of course your move may also be a time for you to look in to archiving some of your papers – something we can assist with.
We provide highly secure, 24hr protected storage facilities for a number of business clients and can offer both short-term and long-term storage solutions.
Equally this can be applied to any office furniture that you might not want to take to your new office, or indeed if you simply want time to sort out the papers before hand, we can take your office furniture and put it in to storage until you’re ready for it.
You will also find that Trek Removals has a number of options in terms of specialist removals equipment – for example if you’re going to a building with difficult access – we can provide you with a service that will account for difficult to reach places and equally if you have any particularly unusual items that you would like to take with you we can provide the correct vehicle and equipment to move it for you.
Say goodbye to David Brent and hello to the new office! Some people are using 2012 as an opportunity to start anew in a brand new office in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Bristol, Cardiff, you name it! Major office moves to major cities.
While the last few years have seen many businesses suffer the wrath of the economic downturn others have prospered and grown; so much so that they need to expand in terms of their space and capacity. There are the other businesses that have decided to downsize or relocate too. Whatever the reason for the move there will always be a need for someone to be there in order to implement it.
Trek Removals specialises in office removals, commercial storage and office relocations. We don’t just cater for domestic home removals; we are a fully qualified, professional business moving company. Our experience has seen us deal with companies large and small from across all business sectors including government organisations.
Here are Trek Removals top tips for moving office:
1. Consider your office space
Office relocations can vary due to a number of factors. For instance; are you looking at moving a small office of 1 or are you looking to move an office that employs 1,000? How much office equipment do you need to move? Are you disposing of some items or are you gutting the entire office and taking it with you?
2. Plan your escape
Office removals should always be handled by a professional removals company. It is never advisable to handle this particular kind of move independently! The amount of desks, chairs, equipment, small items and additional amenities that need to be inventoried, packed and moved can very quickly overwhelm you. The key to moving a business is efficiency.
3. Consider your office relocation budget
Whether you like it or not, office removals are going to cost money. Stay on top of the costs by identifying the necessary expenditure of the office relocation. Any decent removals company should be able to provide you with a free moving quote to give you an idea of the cost.
4. Uprooting your business? Time to upgrade it too!
Moving office can give you the chance to review your current capabilities as a business. Consider upgrading your business communications and facilities. If you have IT consultants ask them for advice on whether or not improvements can be made in terms of the equipment and technology used for the business.
5. Create your checklist
Make sure that you prepare a checklist of items that need to be moved. Office removals companies create detailed inventories but it is always advised that the business draw up its own list as well to make sure nothing gets left behind or overlooked. It helps you to check if all desks have been cleared; that supply cabinets have been emptied; that all items have been labelled etc.
Here’s how Trek Removals deals with an office relocation/removal:
- Full organisation of the relocation
- Sequential packing
- Specialist packing by our staff
- Labelling systems to ensure accurate relocation
