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 Burford access
For a Burford furniture or household move, measure changes of level between the building and loading point. Supply vehicle-access photographs and identify a firm place to stand; Guildenford’s visitor bays are not a default position for a heavy removals vehicle. Name the keyholder and identify equipment that must remain in use until the final loading stage.
For home office moves, prepare furniture and accessory inventory, electronics prepared separately, route to the working room. Describe the collection and receiving points separately so the quote can reflect the whole job, including any carrying or handling beyond the vehicle.
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 Burford 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 the entrance used for the job. Explain whether the Burford address has private loading space or needs an agreed street position.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
