Duffield Removals handles commercial removals and office relocation for offices, shops, workshops and business premises across Chester, Cheshire, Deeside, Wrexham, Shropshire and Powys, with our own vans and crews. The move is planned around your business so you keep trading; work outside Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm is by arrangement and priced in the quote, as our terms set out. You get one point of contact, a written quote, goods in transit insurance to £120,000 and, for the furniture you are not taking, our own waste carrier licence CBDU13412.
How is an office move planned?
Every commercial move starts with the details: the lifts, loading bays, door widths and parking at both sites, and anything that needs a specialist. Photos and floor plans help. We then put the plan and the price in writing: which evening or weekend, how many of our vans and crew, what your staff pack and what we pack, and the order the rooms are cleared and set up. Our office move checklist sets out what to sort on your side.
Desks and furniture are labelled to the new floor plan, so each piece goes straight to its place. The quote names what is included and what would be extra before you sign, so the price on the day is the price you agreed.
What is quoted, what is extra, what cannot travel
- Quoted: crew, vehicles, boxes and packing materials, dismantling and rebuilding, floor and lift protection, labelling and the move plan
- Extra, and told to you first: out-of-hours loading where the building charges for it, storage of surplus furniture, disposal of what you are not taking (we hold waste carrier licence CBDU13412), specialist lifts for safes or machinery
- Cannot travel on our vehicles: hazardous chemicals, pressurised cylinders and anything the law says needs a licensed carrier; we will tell you who to use
IT, archives and the things that stop a business
Monitors, towers and phones are boxed by desk with their cables, so the person who sits there on Monday finds their own kit.
Shops, clinics and workshops
Not every commercial move is desks. We move IT equipment, hospital and clinic equipment, shop fittings and workshop contents. What matters is knowing the weights, the access and what must be disconnected by a qualified person before we touch it, so tell us about them when you ask for the quote.
Business storage
If the new premises are not ready, or you are downsizing and keeping the furniture for later, we hold it in our own storage at Chester or Rhayader, wrapped, and deliver when you call. Regular contract work is on our business contracts page.
