Our aim is to relocate your business with as little down-time and disruption to you, your staff and most importantly, your customers.
Your Commercial Move – Getting it Right
Trying to plan your move can often be very difficult, especially if you are trying to fit this in with your own job. You can feel very unsure of what is required, with dozens of worrying questions such as:
- How long will the office removals take?
- How much down-time will my company need?
- Are there hidden extras in a moving service?
- What about insurance?
- What about Health and Safety?
- Site protection?
The list is endless, and while you spend your time thinking about the above, your own work could suffer. Let us take the strain away. We can answer your questions and use our expertise to plan for you.

The Commercial Moving Process
1) The Initial Inspection/Survey
Please contact us for a free quotation. We can attend your site and provide you with a fixed price quotation, with no obligation – and we don’t pester you afterwards either!
Our survey will look at the following:
- Assessment of the items to be moved, quantities, special requirements, special packing etc.
- Logistics, timescales, out of hours working (i.e. nightshifts), any vehicle issues such as parking permits, access requirements at both loading and unloading addresses
- Insurance values
- Health and Safety issues; risk assessments and method statements. We are both CHAS and Safecontractors accredited
- Contingency planning – just in case your requirements change during the move!
2) Site Protection/Packing/Crates
At Housleys we recognise that the skill and experience of our operatives is paramount when protecting items in transit. Our aim is simply to get your effects from one site to another, on schedule and without any damages.
- Building Protection: this will include floor, wall, stairwells, and lift protection. Our operatives will apply protective measures in advance of the move that may involve boarding for tiled floors, correx padding for walls and ‘gowns’ for lifts.
- Packing: transit wraps, carding, export wrapping or packing. We can supply all your packing material requirements, or our specially trained staff can do the packing for you.
- Crates: If you are packing files, stationery, computers etc. then you will quickly become very familiar with packing crates. These are hard, durable plastic lidded (security) crates which carry the equivalent of 1 x filing cabinet drawer of files and paperwork. Computers are packed and placed into larger computer crates for protection.
3) Load and transportation
Your effects will be loaded into our specially liveried removals pantechnicons (removals trucks). All effects are wrapped and secured when loaded. Air-ride suspension provides for a smooth journey – essential for any IT equipment. We also have specialist tail-lift vehicles for moving heavier items such as servers, printers, copiers, safes, fireproof cabinets etc.
4) Secure containerised storage – if you need it!
5) Disposal
6) Unloading/unpacking
Please contact us if you need any advice or a quotation – both are always free!
