Count the complete working space
List desks, chairs, cabinets, meeting furniture and boxed files. Include shared equipment and items in store cupboards. Identify furniture staying behind or being replaced. Give dimensions of large desks and explain any dismantling required. Staff numbers are useful context but cannot define the transport load on their own.
Plan small office moves at the Shrewsbury address
For small office moves involving Shrewsbury, give the full SY1 address and the exact entrance. Use Shrewsbury, Shropshire and the complete SY1 address; distinguish the property from a general town-centre, riverside or wider county destination. Identify the exact street and entrance within or beyond the river loop, including one-way routes, timed restrictions, pedestrian areas, floor level, carrying distance and lawful loading access.
Check Shropshire Council's interactive roadworks map, current closures and any required temporary restriction process and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For small office moves, prepare: workstation and furniture list; prepared it and boxed contents; authorised building contacts.
- Name the actual Shrewsbury entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Set preparation and receiving responsibilities
Choose contacts who can authorise collection and direct room placement. Arrange IT shutdown, disconnection and data handling through your own staff or provider. Confirm loading access and moving hours with both buildings. Transport does not automatically include installation, reconnecting systems or guaranteeing uninterrupted business operations.
A practical small-office brief
- The furniture inventory and an estimated count of packed boxes.
- The access window, floors, lifts and loading location.
- Any required priority order or assembly request.
Your Shrewsbury enquiry checklist
- For small office moves, have these details ready: workstation and furniture list; prepared it and boxed contents; authorised building contacts.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. SY1 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.
