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 around your Tipton access
For Tipton home moves, give the full DY4 address and explain whether the proposed loading position is on a red-route street or within private access. Photograph any tight entrance or shared driveway. Agree the lawful stopping point before calculating the furniture carry, and keep neighbours' entrances clear.
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 Tipton red-route signs and identify the permitted loading position before agreeing the carrying or handover plan.
- For small office moves, prepare: workstation and furniture list; prepared it and boxed contents; authorised building contacts.
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 Tipton 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. DY4 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.
