Office & business moves: the Nottingham plan
For Lenton student or shared-house belongings, give the room, floor and a complete list of your own items. If keys are returned before collection, arrange an authorised person to open the property; do not assume the landlord will attend.
- Workstation inventory: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Building access hours: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Priorities and move phases: include the details for both ends of this move.
An inventory your team can work from
List desks, chairs, cabinets, boxed files and equipment by department or room. Identify furniture staying behind and label items by their destination. Dimensions help for large meeting tables, shelving and cabinets.
Flag IT equipment, machinery, confidential records and unusually heavy items. Technical disconnection, reconnection, installation or specialist handling must be arranged explicitly; it is not assumed within a standard moving quote.
Build access around the operation
For Nottingham premises, confirm the loading position, security access and route through the building with the property manager. Include lift dimensions, contractor check-in and any limits on vehicle height or delivery hours.
Appoint a contact at both addresses who can open up, identify the correct items and direct unloading. Share building rules before the quote is agreed.
Request phases, evenings or weekends
If the business needs to keep operating, describe which rooms or teams should move first and the deadlines for each phase. Evening or weekend moves are requests to check, with crew and building availability confirmed before booking.
Agree the inventory, preparation responsibilities, price, timing and applicable cover. Keep specialist equipment work separate unless it is explicitly included. Update the plan if headcount, furniture or access changes.
Resolve restricted access and the real loading door
For a Nottingham furniture purchase, confirm the actual seller postcode and release time before combining collections. Measure the item and stair route at its destination, and tell us whether dismantling has already been completed.
For this office & business moves request, explain any uncertainty about building access hours before accepting a quote. The collection-ready time, vehicle access and recipient availability must work together; a short driving distance does not remove the handling work.
Before you confirm office & business moves
Send the full collection and delivery addresses, workstation inventory and building access hours, and photographs of any awkward access. Ask for a written scope covering the handling required at your Nottingham address.
Check the proposed supplier, price, vehicle or crew, relevant cover and any waiting arrangements. Do not release the goods until the booking and handover instructions have been agreed.
