If you’re planning a move and want a reliable, straightforward service, Simple Removals is ready to help.

An office move is judged on the first working morning after it. Can your team find their desks, their files and their equipment, and get straight on with the day? Our office removals and commercial removals service is planned back from that morning, not forward from the day the van turns up.

We move single-room offices, multi-floor offices, shops and retail units, warehouses, and gym or fitness studios from our base at Harlestone Grange in Northampton. Most of our business moves are across Northamptonshire and the Midlands, and relocations further afield run as long distance removals.

Simple Removals & Logistics Ltd is a family-run removals company registered in England and Wales. Every commercial job carries Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance, and you receive a written, itemised quote before any deposit is taken.

What Our Commercial Removals Service Includes

A commercial removals booking covers the vehicle, the crew, the loading and unloading, and the insurance. The parts a move cannot happen without are never split out as extras.

As standard, every commercial move includes:
  • Vans and a trained crew matched to the size of the job
  • Loading at your current premises and unloading at the new one
  • Fuel for the move
  • Handling of IT equipment, with server racks and sensitive infrastructure assessed at survey stage
  • Insurance cover while your items are loaded, transported and unloaded (details below)
  • Timings planned around your trading hours, including evenings, weekends and overnight
Some services are priced separately, so you only pay for what your move needs:
  • Packing service for desks, files and stock, at £35 per packer per hour
  • Furniture dismantling and reassembly, such as desks and meeting tables, from £40
  • Boxes from £2.50 if your own team is packing
  • End of tenancy cleaning for the office or unit you are leaving at the end of a lease

Business Premises We Move

Each type of business premises comes with its own constraint, from trading hours to heavy equipment. We plan around the one that matters most for your site.

Office Relocations

From a single room to a multi-floor office. Desks, chairs, files and IT equipment move together, usually in the evening or at a weekend, so your team loses as little working time as possible.

Shops and Retail Units

Retail moves are planned around your trading hours, so the shop is closed for as short a window as possible. Tell us about fixtures, display units and stock at quote stage so the crew and vehicle are right for the job.

Warehouses

Warehouse moves are priced on survey, because volume, stock and equipment vary so widely from one site to the next. A video survey lets us see the space and the loading access before we give you a figure.

Gyms and Fitness Studios

Gym equipment is heavy and awkward to move, so it needs specific planning before moving day. Gym and fitness studio moves are also priced on survey.
The Process

How an Office Move Runs, From Enquiry to Completion

Every commercial move follows the same three stages. You have a written price before you commit, and nothing is booked until you confirm it.

STEP 1

Enquiry and Survey

Send us both addresses, the size of the premises, the rough number of workstations and your preferred dates. Include access details at each end, such as lifts, stairs and loading bays. For larger commercial jobs we arrange a free video survey so we can see the volume and access before pricing.

STEP 2

Written Quote and Planning

You receive a written, itemised quote, charged hourly for a small move or as a fixed price for larger premises. Once you accept and pay the deposit, we book the date and agree the timing, including evening, weekend or overnight slots. We confirm the arrival window the day before.

STEP 3

Moving Day and Handover

The crew loads, transports and unloads everything agreed in the plan. The balance is usually due before or on moving day, as set out in your quote. If you booked an end of tenancy clean, the old premises are cleaned once they are empty.

Preparations

What Your Business Needs to Prepare

Parking, permissions and packing are the three things to settle before the crew arrives. Our terms set out what the customer is responsible for, and this list turns that into practical steps.

A few weeks before the move:
  • Give us accurate details of both premises, including floors, lifts, access and any large or heavy items
  • Arrange parking or loading space at both addresses. Councils set their own notice periods for bay suspensions, and some ask for ten working days.
  • Get permission from your landlord or building manager for lift use, loading bays and move times
  • Tell us about safes, server racks, gym equipment or anything else that needs specific planning
  • Decide who is packing. If staff pack their own desks, ask them to label every box with its destination room or desk number.

In the final few days:

  • Ask your IT support to back up data and disconnect computers, phones and servers
  • Empty and defrost the staff kitchen fridge
  • Keep cash, jewellery and other valuables with you unless we have agreed in writing to move them
  • Remove anything dangerous, hazardous or flammable, such as fuel, gas bottles or aerosols
  • Brief staff on what is moving, what is staying, and where everything will be on the first morning

  • Small Office / Studio: From £300
  • Medium Office: From £600
  • Large Office / Retail Unit: From £900

  • Boxes: from £2.50
  • Bubble wrap and tape: included when you book packing

Our terms state that prices are subject to VAT unless stated otherwise, so check the VAT line when you compare quotes. We accept bank transfer and card payments, with Klarna and Clearpay also available, and your payment schedule is confirmed in your written quote.
Insurance

Insurance on a Business Move

Every commercial move is covered by Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance. Goods in Transit covers your furniture and equipment while they are loaded, transported and unloaded. Public Liability covers damage to the property during the move.

The insurance details are confirmed in writing before your deposit is taken. Keep them to hand in case your landlord or building manager asks for evidence of cover before the move.

There are limits worth knowing before moving day. Under our terms and conditions, liability applies where damage is caused by our negligence, and it does not extend to:

  • Damage that was there before the move
  • Items packed by the customer
  • Mechanical or electrical faults, unless caused directly by mishandling

For computers, screens and servers, that is why a full data backup matters, and why it is worth considering our packing service for fragile or high-value equipment.

For larger commercial jobs we arrange a free video survey. It lets us see the volume, the access at each end and any specialist items before we confirm a fixed price. Smaller moves can often be priced from the details you send us.

Yes. Every commercial move is covered by Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance, and the details are confirmed in writing before your deposit is taken. Our terms exclude damage to items packed by the customer, so consider our packing service for fragile equipment.
