Office & Business Moves
Commercial Removals in Manchester
Moving offices, changing premises or reorganising your workspace? Bradshaw International of Manchester helps businesses plan the furniture, equipment and practical details of their move. Speak to our Irlam team about commercial removals across Manchester and Greater Manchester, or a business relocation further afield.
Office Removals Built Around Your Business
An office move is not just about getting desks from one building to another. Your staff need to know what to pack, your building manager needs to know when we are arriving, and the right equipment needs to reach the right place. We discuss those details before moving day so that the removal fits your business rather than leaving your team to work around it.
Whether you are leaving a serviced office, bringing two teams together or moving into larger premises, tell us what needs moving and when the new workspace needs to be ready. We can then assess the load, access, packing requirements and order of work for your quotation.
Commercial Moves We Can Help You Plan
- Office relocations - desks, chairs, meeting-room furniture and packed office contents moving to new premises.
- Serviced-office moves - moving your team and its equipment while coordinating access with the building operator.
- Internal office moves - moving departments, reorganising a floor or clearing working space for a refurbishment.
- Growing or downsizing a business - deciding what goes straight to the new office and what needs storage.
- Phased relocations - discussing separate collections or deliveries when the whole business cannot move at once.
- Small business moves - selected furniture and equipment as well as the contents of a complete office.
For a few business items rather than a full office relocation, our Manchester man and van service may be suitable. We will help you establish which option fits the load and access.
A Clear Plan Before Moving Day
Start with an inventory of the furniture, equipment and packed contents. Identify anything unusually heavy, fragile or awkward, and tell us what must be available first at the new premises. Photos, floor plans and a survey where required help establish the work involved.
Nominate one contact in your business to coordinate decisions. Agree a labelling system by room, department or workstation, and make sure the destination layout is ready for the removal crew. This reduces unnecessary handling and helps avoid furniture ending up in the wrong office.
Tell us about lease handover dates, fit-out work and any periods when your business must remain operational. If you need a phased move or a particular time slot, raise it before booking so availability and practical arrangements can be confirmed.
Access Matters for Manchester Office Moves
A city-centre office with shared loading facilities needs a different plan from ground-floor premises in Trafford Park. At an office in Salford Quays, check whether the building manager needs to reserve a goods lift or agree a delivery window. Include these arrangements for both the collection and delivery addresses.
Let us know about stairs, loading-bay height limits, parking restrictions, long carrying distances and any furniture that will not fit through the usual entrance. Confirm access permissions with your landlord or facilities team before the move. Sorting out these details early helps us plan an appropriate vehicle and crew.
Packing, Furniture and Office Equipment
Our packing service can be discussed alongside your commercial move. Agree which items your staff will pack, which need professional packing and whether any furniture needs dismantling and reassembly. Keep essentials clearly identified so they can be found when your team arrives.
For computers, monitors, printers and other IT equipment, explain the handling requirements during planning. Back up important data and agree who will disconnect, reconnect and test your systems. Your IT provider should be involved where needed; technical work must be agreed separately rather than assumed to be part of the removal.
Storage Between Business Premises
If the new office is not ready when you need to leave the old one, discuss managed container storage at our Irlam warehouse. Storage can also help when a refurbishment temporarily removes working space or when furniture needs to be delivered in stages.
Tell us what you may need back before the rest of the load. Access to stored items is arranged through the office, so retrieval and onward delivery should form part of the plan rather than relying on unplanned visits.
Manchester and Greater Manchester Coverage
From our Irlam base, we help businesses discuss moves within Manchester and across the surrounding boroughs. We can also assess commercial moves leaving the area for another UK destination.

Give us both addresses when you enquire. The journey is only one part of the job; the load, building access and your working timetable are just as important.
What Affects the Cost of a Commercial Removal?
Your quotation depends on the volume of furniture and equipment, the distance, access at each property, packing, dismantling, storage and the schedule required. A small office with straightforward access is a different job from a multi-floor relocation with restricted loading times.
A clear inventory and realistic timings help us assess the work properly. If plans change after the quote, let the team know before moving day so any changes to the arrangements or price can be discussed.
Questions About Your Business Move
Can we move outside normal working hours?
Ask the team about your preferred dates and times when enquiring. Any evening, weekend or phased arrangements need to be assessed and confirmed before you book.
Do you only handle large office moves?
No. Tell us about the furniture and equipment you need moved, whether that is a small office, a department or a larger business relocation. We will assess the service and team required.
How far ahead should we arrange the move?
Contact us as soon as you know a move is likely, especially if there are fixed lease dates, shared lifts or fit-out contractors involved. Early planning gives you more time to agree access, prepare staff and confirm the removal arrangements.
