Can you work overnight or at a weekend?

Yes, and on commercial jobs it is normal rather than exceptional. The plan is built around your downtime window, not around office hours.

How far ahead should we brief you?

As soon as the lease dates are known, even provisionally. The staging plan is where the value is and it needs time to be worth anything.

We crate, transport and place it. Disconnection, reconnection and live systems stay with your own people or a specialist, and we coordinate rather than improvise.

Can you store between leases?

Yes, and that gap is one of the commonest reasons a commercial brief comes to us. Inventoried at collection and released against your schedule.

What about confidential files?

Crated, sealed and listed, and moved under your own chain-of-custody requirements if you have them. Tell us at brief stage what the requirements are.

Will you provide an inventory for insurance?

As standard on commercial work — what was collected, its condition, and where it went.

Special case · LB

Move a business

A commercial move has a constraint a household move does not: every hour the operation is down costs something, and that cost is usually larger than the removal itself. So the plan runs backwards from the downtime window rather than forwards from a start time.

The brief on a business move is not "when can you come". It is "how few hours can we be closed".

What a business move involves

Downtime plan The sequence built around the hours you can afford to lose.

Out-of-hours work Evenings and weekends as standard rather than as an exception.

Crating Equipment, stock and files crated rather than boxed loosely.

Written inventory Produced as standard — the document finance and insurers ask for.

Labelled destinations Desk-level or bay-level marking so nothing is unpacked twice.

Storage in the gap Where a lease ends before the next one starts.

The lease dates are the whole plan

On most commercial jobs the real constraint is not the move at all. It is a dilapidations date at one end and a lease start at the other, and those two rarely line up neatly.

Tell us both at the brief stage. Where they overlap, the move can be staged over several visits with no downtime at all. Where they do not, storage in the middle is the answer and it needs planning rather than panic.

Staging beats a single day

A business rarely has to move everything at once. Archives, spare stock, furniture from unused areas and anything seasonal can go early, which shrinks the critical weekend down to the things people actually need on Monday.

That is the single most effective thing we do on commercial work, and it is free — it is a sequencing decision rather than a service.

What we do not touch

Live systems. We crate, transport and place IT equipment, and disconnection, reconnection and anything involving a server rack or a network needs your own people or a specialist working alongside us.

We will say that at the brief stage rather than discovering it with a rack on a trolley at eleven at night.

The inventory, and why finance wants it

On commercial work an inventory is produced as standard. It records what was collected, what condition it was in and where it went, which is what an insurer will ask for if something is damaged and what a finance team will ask for at the next asset review.
