Office relocation in Astley

Move the office, keep the week

Need to move your office in Astley without losing a trading day? A named move manager owns the whole job: survey, crates, dismantle, transport, rebuild, IT reconnection and the clear-out of everything you are leaving behind. One team, one fixed commercial removals price, Wigan crews.

Wigan-borough village on the edge of Chat Moss, with the last pit headgear in Lancashire on its doorstep. That mix decides the method: Colliery terraces at Astley Green, interwar semis along the A580 and modern estates towards Tyldesley. A converted floor with a single passenger lift is a different plan from a modern unit with a dock, and both exist within a few streets of Astley Green Colliery Museum and its Grade II listed headgear.

Permits and loading windows are handled with Wigan Council in advance, and both landlords receive a method statement, risk assessment and our £5m liability certificate before anyone arrives on site.

Teams booking this in Astley usually add office cleaning in Astley and commercial cleaning in Astley to the same job. We run the same office removals crews next door in Lowton and Tyldesley, and across the region from our Greater Manchester hub.

Three steps, no downtime

How an Astley office move works

  1. 1. Book a free survey

    Tell us desk numbers, floors and both addresses. A surveyor visits your Astley office — usually within 48 hours — and records the inventory, the lift, the doors and the loading route.

  2. 2. Approve the fixed plan

    You get one fixed price, a timed schedule, the crate delivery date and RAMS for both buildings. Nothing changes on the night unless you add to the inventory.

  3. 3. We move out of hours

    Crates land a week ahead. The move runs evening, overnight or across a weekend, desks are rebuilt to plan and IT reconnected, so Astley staff walk into a working floor.

What the fixed price buys

What is included in Astley

Free pre-move survey

A surveyor walks both your Astley floor and the destination, measures the lift, the doors and the loading route, and writes the inventory the fixed price is built on.

Crates, bags and sleeves

Lidded crates, IT bags, monitor sleeves, trolleys and labels delivered a week ahead, collected after — the first week's hire is inside the quote.

Out-of-hours crews

Evening, overnight and weekend slots so Astley staff never lose a trading day. Weekend work is priced in, never charged as a premium.

Dismantle and rebuild

Desks, benches, pedestals, storage walls and screens taken down and rebuilt to your new floor plan, with fixings bagged per item.

IT relocation

Workstations, monitors and peripherals unplugged, bagged and port-labelled, then reconnected at the correct desk positions ready for log-in.

Access and permits

Goods lifts, docks and Wigan Council loading bays booked in advance, with RAMS and insurance certificates issued to both building managers.

Confidential handling

Archive boxes, filing and secure records moved under a sealed, numbered manifest with a signed handover at the far end.

Clear-out and recycling

Old furniture, WEEE and shredded paper removed on the way out so your Astley lease hands back empty — with waste transfer notes.

Fixed price after survey

No hourly meter and no day-of surprises. The survey sets the inventory, the inventory sets the price, and the price holds.

The person who surveyed your office runs the move and answers the phone on the night. No handovers, no call centre.

  1. 10-desk recruitment agency

    M29, a few minutes from Astley Green Colliery Museum and its Grade II listed headgear

    The challenge: Loading on a Wigan Council controlled length, which meant a suspension and a booked bay before a single crate moved.

    How we ran it: Two vans shuttled on a fixed loop so the lift never sat idle, with a named move manager on site for the whole of Friday 18:00 to Sunday 16:00.

    The challenge: A live neighbouring tenant in the same Astley building, so noise and lift use were capped outside agreed hours.

About Astley

Wigan-borough village on the edge of Chat Moss, with the last pit headgear in Lancashire on its doorstep. Astley Green Colliery worked the Chat Moss coalfield from 1908 to 1970; the headgear and engine house survive as a museum.

The colliery museum volunteers, Astley Green village life and the Bridgewater Canal towpath. The best-known landmark is Astley Green Colliery Museum and its Grade II listed headgear, and the M29 postcodes reach Tyldesley, Boothstown, Leigh, Atherton within a short drive.

For an office move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: colliery terraces at Astley Green, interwar semis along the A580 and modern estates towards Tyldesley. Peat mossland and the East Lancs Road together mean damp, silty drives and a fast traffic film on frontages.

Answers before you book

Astley office removals FAQs

  • How much do office removals cost in Astley?

    A micro office of up to five desks starts at £420, six to ten desks from £650, and ten to thirty desks from £1,450. A full floor of 30–60 desks starts at £3,200. UK market rates for the same work typically run £500–£1,200 for a small office and £3,000–£10,000 for a large one, so we quote at or below the middle of the range — and always as a fixed price after a free Astley survey. Local context matters here: astley green colliery worked the chat moss coalfield from 1908 to 1970; the headgear and engine house survive as a museum, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

    Link to this answer
  • Can you move our Astley office over a weekend or overnight?

    Yes, and it is our default. Most Wigan relocations run Friday evening to Sunday afternoon so your team returns to a rebuilt, reconnected floor on Monday. Out-of-hours work is priced into the fixed quote rather than added as a premium. The colliery museum volunteers, Astley Green village life and the Bridgewater Canal towpath — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

    Link to this answer
  • Do I need a parking permit or bay suspension in Astley?

    Often, yes — Wigan Council controls loading on most M29 streets. We check your street at survey and, where a suspension saves a long carry, we apply for it and show the cost in the quote before you accept it. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Astley or across to Tyldesley.

    Link to this answer
  • Can you handle the stairs and access in detached homes around Astley Green Colliery Museum and its Grade II listed headgear?

    With a drive and side access the load runs quickly; the survey concentrates on garages, garden rooms and anything oversized that needs a second pair of hands or a leg-off. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Wigan Council loading rules on the M29 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

    Link to this answer
  • How far in advance should we book an office move in Astley?

    Three to four weeks is comfortable for up to thirty desks, and six to eight weeks for a full floor with phased IT. Short-notice Astley moves are often possible — we hold weekend capacity back for exactly that. Local context matters here: astley green colliery worked the chat moss coalfield from 1908 to 1970; the headgear and engine house survive as a museum, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

    Link to this answer
  • Do you cover the areas around Astley?

    Yes — Tyldesley, Boothstown, Leigh, Atherton, Worsley and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own office removals page and the same fixed pricing. The colliery museum volunteers, Astley Green village life and the Bridgewater Canal towpath — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

    Link to this answer
  • Will the building manager get RAMS and insurance documents?

    Yes. A method statement, risk assessment, £5m public liability certificate and goods-in-transit cover note are issued with your booking confirmation, addressed to both the outgoing and incoming Astley building managers. With Astley drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.

    Link to this answer
  • Can you clear and clean the old Astley office as well?

    We can. Redundant furniture, WEEE and confidential paper are removed under waste transfer notes on the way out, and a dilapidations-standard clean can be booked for the same weekend so the lease hands back clean and empty. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Astley or across to Tyldesley.

    Link to this answer
  • Do you handle the IT and server equipment?

    Workstations, monitors, docks and peripherals are unplugged, bagged and port-labelled by our crew, then reconnected at the correct desk on the new plan. For comms cabinets and server racks we work alongside your IT provider, who owns the power-down and power-up windows. With Astley drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.

    Link to this answer
  • What about loading and parking around Astley Green Colliery Museum and its Grade II listed headgear?

    Wigan Council sets the loading, permit and suspension rules on these streets. We confirm the bay, the goods-lift slot and the dock window at survey, so the crew is unloading rather than circling M29 on the night. Crews run from Wigan, so Tyldesley and Boothstown journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

    Link to this answer
  • How long does a office move in Astley usually take?

    Most M29 office relocations finish inside a working day. Floor level, lift availability and carry distance change that more than the size of the property, which is why we time the job from the survey rather than the bedroom count. The colliery museum volunteers, Astley Green village life and the Bridgewater Canal towpath — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

    Link to this answer
  • Is there anything you cannot move out of Astley?

    Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym equipment and large glass units all move, but they are quoted at survey because they need extra crew or kit. Paint, fuel, gas bottles and perishables we cannot legally carry — Tyldesley customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Astley or across to Tyldesley.

    Link to this answer
  • Do you supply RAMS for the building manager?

    Yes. A method statement, risk assessment and our liability certificate are issued with the booking confirmation, addressed to both the outgoing and incoming building managers. The colliery museum volunteers, Astley Green village life and the Bridgewater Canal towpath — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

    Link to this answer
  • Can you move us over a weekend?

    Yes — most Greater Manchester office moves run Friday evening to Sunday so staff return to a working floor on Monday. Weekend work is priced into the fixed quote, not added as a premium. Wigan Council loading rules on the M29 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

    Link to this answer
  • Who handles the IT?

    Our crews unplug, bag and port-label workstations, monitors and peripherals, then reconnect them at the new desk positions. Server racks and comms cabinets are moved with your IT provider on site for the power-down and power-up. Booked most often on the M29 streets around Astley Green Colliery Museum.

Access, parking and timing

Loading in Astley: what the crew plans for

Colliery terraces at Astley Green, interwar semis along the A580 and modern estates towards Tyldesley. That stock, the street it sits on and the Wigan Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.

Before you accept the quote

Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a office relocation here far more than the M29 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. Crews run from Wigan, so Tyldesley and Boothstown journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

Timing a office move in Astley

We schedule Astley jobs so the loading window sits outside the Wigan rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Local context matters here: astley green colliery worked the chat moss coalfield from 1908 to 1970; the headgear and engine house survive as a museum, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Parking the van in M29

Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Wigan Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. With Astley drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.

How Astley homes actually load

Detached properties usually park the van on the drive, so labour goes into volume rather than carry distance: outbuildings, garden machinery and large-format furniture set the crew size. Booked most often on the M29 streets around Astley Green Colliery Museum.

Booked here week to week

Jobs we run most often in Astley

If one of these looks like yours, say so when you enquire — we will quote it from the closest job we have already done in Wigan rather than starting from a blank form.

Priced per desk

Desk moves and internal churn

Reconfiguring a floor rather than leaving the building: benches broken down, relabelled and rebuilt overnight to a numbered floor plan. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

Evening and weekend crews

Out-of-hours office move in Astley

Crated Friday evening, moved overnight, desks and IT live for Monday — the sequence most Wigan tenants book so no trading day is lost. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Astley or across to Tyldesley.

RAMS supplied

Serviced-office and lift-restricted buildings

Goods-lift slots, building inductions and RAMS for the managing agent are arranged in advance, with the loading bay near Astley Green Colliery Museum and its Grade II listed headgear booked for the window we are given. Local context matters here: astley green colliery worked the chat moss coalfield from 1908 to 1970; the headgear and engine house survive as a museum, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Move plus clearance

Lease-end exit with clearance

What moves, moves; what does not is cleared under waste transfer notes and the space handed back to the dilapidations spec in one booking. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

Before you book

What you are actually agreeing to

Before you pay a deposit anywhere, check the quote answers these four questions. Ours does, in writing, before your Astley date is held.

Dates that move

Your load stays sealed and insured overnight for a fixed fee and delivers first thing — we do not unload onto a driveway or re-quote the second day at short-notice rates.

The price cannot move on the day

Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M29 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.

Talk to someone local

Call 020 3633 4555 and ask what a office move like yours costs from £650. If a cheaper option fits better — a smaller van, an hourly booking, a different day — we will say so.

If something goes wrong

Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Astley office relocation, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.

Booked with your office move

A move in Wigan is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our Astley crews are asked for in the same week — clearing what is not worth transporting, packing, reinstating shelves and fixings, and getting both properties clean — each on its own page with its own pricing.

Four weeks before — book and confirm

  • Confirm the move date and slot for your Astley address in writing.
  • Book the van size against your property type — Colliery terraces at Astley Green, interwar semis along the A580 and modern estates towards Tyldesley.
  • Check whether Wigan Council needs a parking dispensation or suspended bay on your street.
  • Tell your landlord or agent the exact handover date and key-return time.
  • Book any end-of-tenancy or pre-move-in clean for the day either side of the move.
  • Start using up freezer food, cleaning products and anything that cannot travel.

Two weeks before — paperwork and access

  • Apply for the Wigan Council permit or bay suspension (allow 5–10 working days).
  • Book the lift or service entrance if your building near Astley Green Colliery Museum and its Grade II listed headgear has one.
  • Redirect post and update your address on the M29 electoral roll, bank and insurance.
  • Notify energy, water, broadband and council tax with opening and closing dates.
  • Register with a new GP, dentist and vet if you are leaving the area.
  • Arrange school transfers or nursery notice periods.

One week before — pack room by room

  • Label every box with the destination room, not the room it came from.
  • Pack a 'first night' box: kettle, mugs, chargers, bedding, toilet roll, medication.
  • Photograph the back of the TV and any flat-pack you are dismantling.
  • Drain the washing machine and fit its transit bolts.
  • Dispose of paint, oils and garden waste through the Wigan Council tip — the crew cannot legally load them.
  • Set aside valuables, passports and jewellery to travel with you.

The day before — final prep

  • Charge phones and keep a paper copy of the crew's number and the new address.
  • Defrost the fridge-freezer and towel it dry.
  • Take meter readings at the old property and photograph them.
  • Put cones or bins out to hold the loading space if Astley parking is tight.
  • Bag bedding and clothes, and strip the beds you are taking.
  • Confirm arrival window with the crew and the key-collection time with the agent.

Moving day — loading

  • Walk the crew through the property and flag fragile and do-not-load items.
  • Protect carpets, stair noses and door frames before the first box moves.
  • Load heavy furniture first, boxes second, soft furnishings last.
  • Keep the first-night box and paperwork with you, not in the van.
  • Check lofts, sheds, the garden and every cupboard before the van leaves.
  • Final meter readings, lock up and hand back keys.

Moving day — unloading and sign-off

  • Direct each box to its labelled room as it comes off the van.
  • Build beds first so the day can end even if boxes are still packed.
  • Test the boiler, hot water, smoke alarms and the consumer unit.
  • Take arrival meter readings and photograph them.
  • Check items against your inventory and report damage before the crew leaves.
  • Break down boxes and book a recycling collection or clearance slot.
