Office removals Edinburgh, planned around your downtime
We move desks, IT, files and fit-out across the city out of hours and over weekends, so your team finishes on Friday in one building and starts on Monday in the next. Fixed written quote, one crew, one point of contact.
- Out-of-hours and weekend moves
- Fully insured crews
- Fixed written quotes
What an office move with us actually involves
An office relocation in Edinburgh runs on a plan, not on the day itself. We survey both buildings first, agree a window that protects your trading hours, then move in one continuous run so there is no half-packed week in between. Most small and mid-sized offices move in a single evening or weekend.
| What you get | What it means on the day |
|---|---|
| Site survey | We walk both buildings, measure lifts and doorways, and check loading access before quoting. |
| Crates and labels | Reusable crates delivered in advance, colour coded by desk or department. |
| Out-of-hours move | Evenings, weekends or a public holiday, so trading hours are not lost. |
| IT handling | Screens, docks and towers boxed per user and delivered to the right desk. |
| Set up and clear | Furniture rebuilt, crates collected after unpacking, packaging taken away. |
What we move for Edinburgh offices
Everything that makes the office work, handled by the same crew from start to finish rather than passed between subcontractors.
Desks and workstations
Sit-stand frames, benching, pedestals and task chairs, dismantled and rebuilt to the same layout or a new floor plan you send us in advance.
IT, comms and AV
Monitors, docks, towers, printers and screens boxed per user, cables bagged and labelled, comms racks moved with care and handed back to your IT team ready to patch.
Files and archives
Live files crated by department, dead files sent to storage or secure destruction, so you do not pay to move paper you no longer need.
Meeting rooms and reception
Boardroom tables, glass, screens, signage, planters and soft seating, wrapped properly and reassembled where they belong.
How an Edinburgh office relocation runs
Four stages, agreed in writing before anything is lifted.
Survey and plan
We visit both addresses, measure the lifts, doors and stair turns, check where a van can legally stand, and agree the move window with your building manager.
Crates and labelling
Reusable crates arrive days ahead with a labelling system per desk or department, so nothing needs guessing at the other end.
The move itself
Usually an evening, a weekend or a public holiday. Floors and lifts protected, IT boxed per user, furniture dismantled and loaded in the order it will come off.
Set up and first morning
Desks rebuilt, crates delivered to the right positions, and a walk round with you before we leave so Monday morning starts on time.
Tell us about your office move
Send us both addresses, your rough headcount and the date you need to be trading from the new space. We will come back with a fixed written quote, usually within one working day, and a suggested move window that protects your hours.
Buildings we move Edinburgh businesses in and out of
The building decides the plan far more than the number of desks does. These are the four kinds of premises we work in most, and what changes in each.
New Town and George Street
Townhouse offices over three or four floors, often with a shared stair, a listed frontage and no goods lift. We plan the carry, protect the common stair, and arrange a bay suspension at the door.
The Exchange and Fountainbridge
Modern floorplates with loading bays, goods lifts and a building manager who will want your insurance and a booked lift slot. We handle that paperwork before the day.
Edinburgh Park and South Gyle
Business park units with level access and parking, which makes for the quickest moves we do. Weekend windows are usually easy to agree here.
Leith, The Shore and Quartermile
Converted warehouses, studios and lab or lecture space. Wide doors, but tight service yards and stairs that were never designed for a boardroom table.
What we plan for before an Edinburgh office move
The four things that decide whether a workplace move finishes on schedule.
Loading access and bay suspensions
Most central Edinburgh offices have no bay of their own. Where the address sits in a controlled parking zone we apply to the City of Edinburgh Council in advance, so the van has a legal space at the door instead of circling.
Goods lifts and booking slots
Managed buildings usually release the goods lift in booked slots and want proof of insurance first. We book the slot, send the paperwork, and size the crew to the lift rather than the floor.
Out-of-hours building access
Evening and weekend moves mean security passes, alarm codes and a named contact who can let us in. We agree all three at survey stage rather than at eight on a Saturday morning.
Your IT downtime window
The move is planned backwards from the moment your team needs to log in. We agree with your IT provider when kit comes off, and everything else on the floor is scheduled around that.
Why businesses choose us as their Edinburgh office movers
As an Edinburgh office moving company we are a single local firm, not a broker passing your enquiry to whoever is free. That is the difference between an office relocation Edinburgh businesses can plan around and one that improvises on the night.
Priced on a survey, not a guess
Desk counts do not price an office move. Access does. We quote after seeing both buildings, and that written figure is what you pay unless you change the brief.
One crew, one contact
The person who surveys your office runs the move. No call centre in between, no subcontractor meeting your building manager for the first time on the night.
Built for old buildings and new floorplates
We move as comfortably out of a listed New Town townhouse as we do out of a modern floorplate, and we plan very differently for each.

Office removals in Edinburgh: your questions answered
The questions facilities managers and business owners ask us most often.
Price follows access and volume rather than desk count alone. A ground-floor unit at Edinburgh Park with a loading bay costs far less to move than the same number of desks over four floors of a New Town townhouse with a shared stair. We survey both buildings, then issue one fixed written quote covering crates, the move, reassembly and crate collection, so there is nothing to add later.
Four to six weeks is comfortable for most offices, and it matters more than it does for a house move because you are also booking a goods lift slot, a parking suspension and a security window in someone else’s building. Month end and quarter end fill first. If your lease date is tight, tell us anyway, because midweek evening slots often come free at shorter notice.
Yes, and most Edinburgh office removals we run happen in the evening, over a weekend or on a public holiday. It costs a little more in crew hours and saves considerably more in lost trading time. The only limit is building access, so we confirm out-of-hours entry with your facilities manager before the date is fixed.
We move screens, docks, towers, printers and comms racks, boxed per user and labelled to a desk so nothing has to be traced afterwards. We handle the physical move and hand back to your IT provider for decommissioning and patching, which keeps responsibility for the network clearly with the people who support it.
Yes. We book goods lift slots, send insurance documents to managing agents, and apply to the City of Edinburgh Council for bay suspensions where the address falls inside a controlled parking zone. You get told what has been arranged rather than being asked to arrange it.
Yes. Downsizing usually leaves desks, storage units and surplus chairs with nowhere to go on the day. We can take them into storage and redeliver later, or hold them while you decide. Ask for this at survey stage so it is priced into the same quote rather than becoming a second job.
Staff normally clear their own desk into a labelled crate, which takes about ten minutes each and keeps personal items with their owner. Everything else, including shared storage, filing and the kitchen, we can pack for you. Say which option you want before crates are delivered so we send the right number.
Yes. Edinburgh to Glasgow, Fife, Dundee, Aberdeen and down into England are all routine, with the same crew loading and unloading so nothing is handed over to a third party at a depot. Longer moves are usually planned across a weekend to keep the downtime inside one window.
