Separate transport from your technology setup
Arrange backups, device preparation and reconnection through your own procedures or IT support. Pack cables and accessories so they remain identifiable, and keep sensitive records under your control. Moving a desk does not imply moving a live computer system or providing technical installation. Flag fragile screens for handling assessment.
Plan home office moves around your Birmingham access
For Birmingham moves, provide both complete addresses and explain whether either property has a booked loading bay, concierge or service lift. Separate building access from the vehicle route: check clean-air-zone requirements for the proposed vehicle and route before confirming the plan. Record lift dimensions, floor level and the time allowed for loading.
Assign a contact at each workplace, agree the goods or staff entrance and label assets by destination. Confirm loading, lift and building access separately from normal public opening hours.
- Confirm Birmingham building access and the proposed vehicle's clean-air-zone status as separate checks.
- For home office moves, prepare: furniture and accessory inventory; electronics prepared separately; route to the working room.
Check the room route before the desk leaves
Measure the desk’s largest fixed part against doors and stairs at both homes. Explain whether it is a powered or corner model and whether it will be dismantled. Include the chair, drawers and shelves rather than treating them as incidental extras. Discuss where furniture should be placed at delivery.
Send a home-office inventory
- Desk type, dimensions and any preparation request.
- Chair, storage furniture and boxed contents by quantity.
- Floors, doorways and the carrying distance at each address.
Your Birmingham enquiry checklist
- For home office moves, have these details ready: furniture and accessory inventory; electronics prepared separately; route to the working room.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B2 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
