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 Oldbury access
For an Oldbury removal, photograph any barrier between the street and the building and give its marked height. Albert Street, Low Town and West Bromwich Street parking have published height restrictions, so do not base a larger van's access on a previous visit by car. If a barrier prevents close approach, measure the alternative carrying distance and explain stairs or door turns along it.
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.
- Check the named Oldbury car park's height limit and the actual loading entrance before choosing a vehicle position.
- 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 Oldbury 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. B69 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.
