Office Moving and Office Clearance, Chester

Planning and moving offices can be a traumatizing event for employers and employees if not done correctly. The risk of losing business, and damage being done during the move is a big worry to business owners. High value equipment, machinery, and electronic equipment are all at risk during an office move and clearance, and all of these are key to the running of the business. The moment you have found the new location of your business, it's important to start with the planning of the move.

Planning your move

• Allow enough time

The success of a move is dependent on the way in which it is organized, and careful planning is essential. Allow enough time for planning every element of the move in detail: what is to be moved, the allocation of duties, and who is going to conduct the move. This will save a lot of headaches later. 

Give yourself at least 6 months in advance of the move to do the planning, and be aware of your current lease obligations, the notice period, and any early lease breaking conditions.

• Engage with office furniture removal companies

Once you have set a date for the move, engage with reputable office furniture removal companies. Get them to quote and commit to your date for the move. This is a step that is vital to the success of your move, as it's essential to select a reliable company that will conduct the move professionally. Should you have heavy equipment at your business, the removal company will be required to have specialized equipment and trained personnel to handle this. Once your research has been done, ask a company representative to come to your premises to do a thorough assessment and a complete quotation. At Rubbish Removal Chester, we do every kind of move, big or small. Our policy is to provide excellent service on time, and efficiently as possible, cleaning up after ourselves when we have hauled away everything. 

• Secure the removal company

It is advisable to ask the furniture removal company about their working hours, and the flexibility to allow you some leeway on the day you wish to move. The purpose of this is to give you the opportunity to continue with your day to day business over the duration of the move, and to try not to interfere with the routines of your employees. We at Rubbish Removal Chester are mindful of this and we try and fit into our customers’ time requirements by working 6 days a week, and offering overtime hours at no extra charge. Our same day service also helps in the case of emergency moves or short term emergencies. 

Remember that the professionalism of the removal staff used in a move will always determine whether you have a smooth, and efficient event on the day. Before choosing the removal company consider the following:

• Are they willing to fit into your timeframe? Do they show flexibility?
• On what basis do they charge? Is it for the job, or is it time based?? 
• Check reviews of previous clients.
• How well equipped are they for the move?
• Do they offer a complimentary clean up service after the move?

• A move plan is Invaluable

As employees will be feeling unsettled about the move, it's important to involve them as far as possible. What works well is a work plan which clearly outlines the time-frames and responsibilities during the move. Assigning duties such as setting up phones, Internet connections, and other to-do tasks make them feel involved. 

Suppliers and clients will need to be contacted to let them know of the new contact details, while the scheduling of service providers such as IT installers, for computer and internet connections, if it cannot be carried out by staff members.

• Work on an Inventory List

Now is the time to remove all unwanted junk and business waste in your offices. This an ideal time to dispose of those tired looking furniture and office equipment items that you may have been wanting to replace for some time. This will include broken desks and chairs, computers, cabinets, and appliances. Our appliance removal service will remove and dispose of electronic equipment in an environmentally friendly manner. At Rubbish Removal Chester, our professional team will haul away all your unnecessary junk, and focus on trying to recycle as much as possible as our way of helping reduce the pressure on our landfills.  

• Back up old files

Be sure to make a back-up of all important documents and data before the move. This is just in case something goes wrong during the move and your IT systems are compromised. Pay special attention to vital documents such as bank records, contractual agreements, and insurance certificates as you wouldn’t want them to be misplaced during the move.

• Office Clearance – de-junking time

Move what is going to be necessary in the new offices. Take time to have a careful look at all office items and critically decide whether they are needed or not. If this is done well in advance of the move, there will be no rush at the end when packing up takes place. It makes no sense to take office junk with you to the new offices when you really have no need for it. If there are items that are in good condition, but are no use to you anymore, consider having an office warehouse sale. This will help contribute to your budget when buying new, replacement items.
