Commercial Movers

Clear Quotes, Not Guesswork

A professional mover should give you a detailed, itemised quote — not just a round number with “includes everything” written at the bottom.

Ask your mover to clarify whether the quote includes:

• Dismantling and reassembly of furniture
• IT equipment disconnection/reconnection
• Weekend or after-hours work
• Packing materials or crates
• Insurance and risk assessment

Be sure to read the fine print. Some cheap commercial movers quote low, but add on fees later for every little task — making their “affordable” service far more expensive than expected.

Insurance, Certifications, and Accountability

Business assets can be expensive, confidential, or both. Whether it’s a commercial-grade photocopier, customer records, or sensitive hardware, you want to know everything is protected.

Always check that the mover provides:

• Goods in Transit insurance
• Public liability insurance
• Accreditations (like BAR, Move Assured, or SafeContractor)
• Staff trained in safe handling of electronics or delicate items

Professional commercial movers will be fully insured, transparent, and happy to show paperwork. If they hesitate, walk away.

Fleet Size, Equipment & Backup Plans

If your move involves large volumes or tight timing, you need a mover with the right fleet and equipment to manage it. Trolleys, crates, dollies, protective padding, straps, hoists — all of these play a role in a successful business move.

Also ask: What happens if something goes wrong? Professional movers will have backup staff, contingency plans, and spares — not just a single van and two men hoping for the best.

Making Your Commercial Move a Success – Minimising Disruption, Maximising Efficiency

By now, you understand that choosing professional commercial movers is not just about transport — it’s about keeping your business running before, during, and after the move. But even the best moving team can’t do it all without a good plan.

In this final part, let’s walk through how to prepare for moving day, keep your operations flowing, and make the most of your partnership with a commercial removal company.

Communicate Internally with Your Team

Before you move a single desk or data cable, it’s important your team knows what’s happening and when. Create a moving timeline and share it with staff well in advance. Let them know:

• When packing needs to be completed
• What role (if any) they play in the process
• What they need to disconnect, secure, or label
• When they’ll be expected to return to work after the move

Clear communication will reduce confusion and make sure your employees are ready when the big day comes. If your business can afford a “quiet period,” use that time to move — even if it’s just a long weekend.

Prepare a Business Continuity Plan

Can’t afford to shut down entirely for the move? No problem — a smart plan can keep key services running.

Some options include:

• Phased moving: Relocate departments or teams in stages to keep productivity steady
• Remote work: Set up employees to work from home for a few days while the physical move happens
• Temporary phone/internet rerouting: Use mobile systems to keep communication open
• Offsite backup access: Ensure cloud or server data is accessible from multiple locations

A professional commercial mover will help you coordinate this. At Moving Circle Removals & Storage, we work closely with clients to align our efforts with their operational needs — so the move feels seamless.

Pack Smart (Or Let the Experts Handle It)

Label everything. Seriously. Whether it’s desks, monitors, routers, or filing cabinets, clear labeling speeds up unloading and reduces mix-ups at the new site.

If you want to reduce workload and protect sensitive equipment, consider professional packing services. Our team uses anti-static wraps, padded crates, and coded labels to keep your assets safe and organised.

We also recommend:

• Backing up all critical data before the move
• Taking photos of complex setups (like IT wiring)
• Packing by department for easier reassembly

Conduct a Final Walkthrough

Before signing off, walk through your old space with the movers. Check that:

• Everything has been removed
• Nothing is damaged or left behind
• Access points and exits are clear
• Final documentation is completed

Once you’re in the new space, do the same again. Make sure everything is in place and functional before restarting operations. A good mover will stay until everything’s confirmed and you’re happy.
