Commercial moves are priced on downtime as much as volume. The cheapest quote is rarely the one that gets you trading again on Monday morning.
Where commercial costs differ from domestic
- Evening and weekend work to avoid closing during trading hours.
- Desk, storage-unit and shelving dismantling and rebuilding.
- Loading-bay bookings, goods lifts and building management sign-off.
- Phased moves where part of the business keeps running throughout.
- Disposal or storage of furniture that isn't going to the new site.
Phasing versus a single shutdown
A single-weekend move is usually cheaper in labour but needs everything boxed and labelled in advance. Phased moves cost more in visits but keep you trading — for most retail and office clients that trade-off is worth pricing both ways.
What we need to quote accurately
- Desk, chair and cabinet counts, plus anything unusually heavy.
- Floor levels and lift access at both sites.
- Your required date, and whether it must be out of hours.
- Whether IT equipment is being moved by us or by your IT provider.
