Moved Fri PM → live Mon 8am. Zero billable hours lost.
"Booked them on a recommendation and they didn't disappoint. Crew turned up early Friday, everyone was on their phones by Monday 8. One monitor cable went walkabout but they sourced a replacement that morning."
Overnight switch with full chain-of-custody on confidential files.
"Compliance paperwork was emailed over before our internal team had even asked for it. Saved me a fortnight of chasing. Foreman (Dave I think?) was easy to work with."
Sunday move, patients seen 9am Monday — no rescheduling.
"Honestly nervous about moving clinical equipment over a weekend, but they'd clearly done it before. First patient walked in at 8.45 and didn't notice a thing."
"Moving a working kitchen is a nightmare and I'd warned them. They cracked on, didn't complain, didn't break the pass. Took an extra two hours on the cold store but that was on us, not them."
"Mannequins, rails, the till — all back where I'd asked by 9am. A couple of fixtures needed the visual merchandiser to tweak, but nothing broken and nothing missing."
"Labelling was clearer than what my own team had set up. Two racks came back online slower than planned (DNS issue our end), but the move itself was the smoothest part of the project."
Completed in half-term, ready for new term Monday.
"Safeguarding-aware, DBS in order, kept the head informed all the way. Worked through half-term so we lost zero teaching time. Would use again without question."
Phased over a weekend, production resumed Monday AM.
"Used a big corporate firm last time and it was a fortnight of disruption. These boys had us back on the line Monday morning. Genuinely faster than the quote."
Cold-chain unbroken, samples in new fridges within 90 mins.
"Method statements were properly written, not boilerplate. Cold-chain log they handed back was exactly what our auditor wanted to see. One small chip on a bench — they noted it themselves and offered to replace."
Classification preserved end-to-end, zero misfiles.
"Crate manifests matched the shelf order to the box. We spot-checked 200 files post-move and didn't find a single one out of sequence. Quietly impressive."
"I dreaded moving the leg press. Two of their lads shifted it without a fuss, levelled it, and our 6am Monday class went ahead. Members had no clue we'd moved."
Out-of-hours move, full booking sheet honoured next day.
"Not a single appointment cancelled — that's the only KPI I cared about. They protected the floors properly, which the last lot didn't, and were polite around my evening clients finishing up."
All three offices live Monday morning, signage included.
"Three branches in one weekend is a lot to co-ordinate and I expected at least one to slip. None did. Lead PM kept a WhatsApp group running so I always knew where each crew was."
AV-ready boardrooms before 8am Monday client meeting.
"Boardroom AV was tested and working before our 8am with a FTSE-100 client. That was the brief and they hit it. Invoicing was clean too — no surprises."
Cutover window hit to the minute, zero unplanned downtime.
"Moving a live cage is high-stakes and they treated it that way. Pre-move walkthrough was thorough, cutover was on schedule, status page stayed green. Will be using again for the DR site."
"Phased install across four floors overnight — opened on time and the area manager couldn't tell anything had changed. One stockroom layout needed a tweak but they were straight back to fix it."
Confidential papers moved under seal, library re-shelved.
"Sealed crates, signed chain of custody at every handover, library re-shelved correctly. Crew were discreet around the clerks' room. Highly recommend to fellow chambers."
"Chairs decommissioned and reconnected properly, compressor lines tested, suction working first thing Monday. Small delay reconnecting the OPG — engineer's fault, not theirs — and they hung around to help."
"Worked through the night, kept the noise down past the guest corridors, breakfast service ran normally. Night manager said the crew were the politest contractors we've had in."
Completed in summer break, fully live for freshers.
"Research data and PhD work needs proper handling and they got that without us having to spell it out. All 70 staff were up and running before freshers' week. Good value vs the framework quote."
"Moving in the middle of tax season was not my idea, but we had no choice. Every client file accounted for, secure store sealed and signed. Stress level: lower than expected."
"Lifted, transported and levelled the CNC without a scratch. We had to re-zero ourselves but that's normal. Cheaper quote than the firm I'd used before and a better job."
Move done over a long weekend, no client deadline missed.
"We have weird stuff — a tufting machine, a 3D printer, a fridge full of paint. They didn't blink. Crew were friendly, didn't moan about the stairs, and the studio was usable Monday lunchtime."
Citizen services live Monday 9am at the new address.
"Procurement was nervous about going with an independent. After the move, the comms team rang to say they wished we'd used them for the last one too. Phones live at 9am sharp."

Relocation Project Management
A named senior PM owns your move from kick-off to settle-in — programme, RAMS, stakeholder updates and a single point of escalation.

From a 5-desk practice to a 200-seat HQ — phased or single-hit, scheduled to land outside your trading hours.
IT & Comms Cutover

Multi-Site Rollouts
Branch networks, regional offices and national rollouts — consistent crews, one programme, one fixed-price proposal.
Internal Churn & Reconfiguration
Floor swaps, team moves, hot-desk reshuffles and post-fit-out resets — delivered overnight, ready for Monday.
Swing-Space Storage
Racked, alarmed business storage for phased relocations — held off-site during fit-out and delivered back on demand.

Old furniture and IT cleared in line with WEEE, dilapidations coordinated and the legacy site handed back ready for inspection.
RAMS, Insurance & Compliance
Bespoke risk assessments, method statements and insurance certificates sent to your FM team ahead of move day.
How it works
A clear 5-step process.
Every step documented, every milestone signed off. No grey areas, no scope creep, no surprises on the invoice.
01
Discovery call & site survey
A senior consultant walks both sites within 48 working hours, captures inventory, access constraints, lifts, parking and risk.
02
Programme & fixed-price proposal
You receive a written programme, RAMS, insurance certificates and a fixed-price proposal — usually within 5 working days.
03
Pre-move briefings & crate hire
Crates and labels delivered in advance. We brief department leads on the colour-coded system and walk the move-day choreography.
04
Cutover & install
Coordinated lift, transit, install and IT recommission inside your agreed window. Critical systems back online first, sign-off at every milestone.
05
Settle-in, snags & dilapidations
Floor walk with you, snags closed within 24 hours, crates collected, legacy site handed back ready for inspection.
