Office & business removals
Office moves, minus the downtime
Commercial moves that keep the downtime contained — planned around your trading hours, labelled so your team lands running.
A business move lives or dies on planning, not muscle. The lifting is the easy part; the hard part is making sure your people can work on Monday. So we start from your calendar — when you trade, when you can afford to be dark — and build the move around it rather than the other way round.
Ashford has a real spread of commercial space, from serviced studios near the station to units on the business parks off the M20. We have shifted single-room startups and whole floors of desks, and the approach scales either way: a plan, a label system, and a crew that puts things back the way your staff expect to find them.
How a commercial move runs
Walk the space
We survey both sites, agree the sequence, and flag anything — lift access, out-of-hours building rules, IT dependencies — that needs sorting before the day.
Label & crate
Desks, kit and files crated and labelled to a plan, so every box has a destination and nothing lands in the wrong room.
Move & reset
The bulk shifts in your quiet window; desks and kit go back set up, ready for your team to sit down and start.
Quotes
Scoped on a walk-round
Commercial quotes come off a proper look at both spaces — volume, access, the sequence, and any out-of-hours constraints. We put it in writing with the plan attached, so whoever signs it off can see exactly what is included. As with every job here, there are no numbers on the timings or the price until we have seen the work; guessing helps no one.
FAQ
Business moves — common questions
Can you move us out of hours so we do not lose a trading day?
That is usually the whole point of a commercial move. Evenings and weekends are fine to plan for, so your team leaves one office on Friday and logs on at the new one on Monday.
Do you handle IT and workstations?
We move desks, screens, servers and comms kit, labelled so it goes back the way each person needs it. For anything that needs a specialist decommission we will coordinate around your IT provider rather than guess.
What about filing, stock and archives?
Crates and materials are supplied, and we can run a phased move so live files stay accessible while the bulk shifts. Confidential material stays sealed and tracked throughout.
Can you store kit between the two offices?
Yes — if there is a gap between leases, we can hold desks, stock or archives in secure storage in Ashford and deliver as the new space comes online.
