Free pre-move survey
A surveyor walks both your Blackley floor and the destination, measures the lift, the doors and the loading route, and writes the inventory the fixed price is built on.

Office relocation in Blackley
Office removals in Blackley are won or lost on the hours nobody sees: the survey, the crate drop, the lift booking and the labelling. We move M9 businesses out of hours so the floor is dark when we start and working when your team badges in, and every Blackley office relocation is quoted as a fixed price after a free survey.
Interwar Corporation semis, 1960s estates and pockets of Victorian cottages. It matters more than most quotes admit — stair carries, protected floors and a shared lift can add hours to a Blackley office move, so we measure them at survey rather than discover them at 7pm on a Friday.
We book the bay with Manchester City Council, agree the goods-lift window with both buildings, and issue RAMS up front — the three things that stall a business relocation in Blackley on the night.
Teams booking this in Blackley usually add office cleaning in Blackley and commercial cleaning in Blackley to the same job. We run the same office removals crews next door in Crumpsall and Harpurhey, and across the region from our Greater Manchester hub.

Three steps, no downtime
Tell us desk numbers, floors and both addresses. A surveyor visits your Blackley office — usually within 48 hours — and records the inventory, the lift, the doors and the loading route.
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.
Crates land a week ahead. The move runs evening, overnight or across a weekend, desks are rebuilt to plan and IT reconnected, so Blackley staff walk into a working floor.
What the fixed price buys
A surveyor walks both your Blackley floor and the destination, measures the lift, the doors and the loading route, and writes the inventory the fixed price is built on.
Lidded crates, IT bags, monitor sleeves, trolleys and labels delivered a week ahead, collected after — the first week's hire is inside the quote.
Evening, overnight and weekend slots so Blackley staff never lose a trading day. Weekend work is priced in, never charged as a premium.
Desks, benches, pedestals, storage walls and screens taken down and rebuilt to your new floor plan, with fixings bagged per item.
Workstations, monitors and peripherals unplugged, bagged and port-labelled, then reconnected at the correct desk positions ready for log-in.
Goods lifts, docks and Manchester City Council loading bays booked in advance, with RAMS and insurance certificates issued to both building managers.
Archive boxes, filing and secure records moved under a sealed, numbered manifest with a signed handover at the far end.
Old furniture, WEEE and shredded paper removed on the way out so your Blackley lease hands back empty — with waste transfer notes.
Why Blackley businesses choose us
No hourly meter and no day-of surprises. The survey sets the inventory, the inventory sets the price, and the price holds.
Every Blackley office relocation is scheduled out of hours by default — Friday evening to Sunday for full floors.
Crews are routed from Manchester bases, so there is no travel surcharge and no 6am motorway gamble on the morning of your move.
Goods in transit, £5m public liability, RAMS, method statements and waste transfer notes issued before the move.
The person who surveyed your office runs the move and answers the phone on the night. No handovers, no call centre.
Move, clear the old floor, deep clean it and hand back the keys — moving, clearance and commercial cleaning all book through the same Blackley team.

Coverage
Blackley sits in Manchester, covered by M9 and served by Manchester City Council. The ICI/Clayton Aniline dyeworks employed thousands; the village core still shows pre-industrial cottages. Blackley Forest and Clough events, the long Victoria Avenue estates, Boggart Hole Clough parkrun and a settled multi-generational population. Its commercial stock reflects that: Interwar Corporation semis, 1960s estates and pockets of Victorian cottages. Boggart Hole Clough remains the local reference point for deliveries and loading.
Ten neighbouring locations we relocate offices in, each with its own survey team and the same fixed pricing.

The rest of the move-out
A relocation rarely ends with the van. Most Blackley clients book the dilapidations clean, the handyman make-good and the office clearance for the same weekend, on one invoice.
Dilapidations and end-of-lease cleaning so the old floor hands back inspection-ready.
Make-good works, wall repairs, shelving, TV and screen mounting and furniture assembly.
Redundant desks, WEEE and confidential paper cleared and recycled, with transfer notes.
Proof from Blackley
Anonymised case studies from recent Manchester relocations — the access problem each building threw up, how the move was sequenced around it, and the numbers behind the job. Client names are withheld; everything else is as the move ran.
M9, a few minutes from Boggart Hole Clough
The challenge: A modern unit with a loading dock with one shared passenger lift, so the whole load had to be sequenced rather than stacked in the corridor.
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 an overnight Wednesday slot.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Blackley with every desk rebuilt, labelled and reconnected. Old furniture and WEEE were cleared under waste transfer notes on the way out.
the Manchester side of Blackley
The challenge: A live neighbouring tenant in the same Blackley building, so noise and lift use were capped outside agreed hours.
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 two consecutive evenings.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Blackley with every desk rebuilt, labelled and reconnected. Old furniture and WEEE were cleared under waste transfer notes on the way out.
a side street in Blackley (M9)
The challenge: Interwar Corporation semis, 1960s estates and pockets of Victorian cottages — the destination had protected floors and a tight turn at the entrance.
How we ran it: Survey walked both floors, crates landed a week early, IT was port-labelled desk by desk and the move ran an overnight Wednesday slot.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Blackley with every desk rebuilt, labelled and reconnected. Old furniture and WEEE were cleared under waste transfer notes on the way out.

“I had a very positive experience with HelloService. I first used their service two years ago for the end of tenancy cleaning of my flat in Edinburgh, where I had lived for six years. I was quite nervous, as the property had been occupied for a long time, but HelloService delivered a very high standard of cleaning. The end of tenancy inspection was passed at the first attempt, and both my landlord and I were very satisfied with the result. I was genuinely impressed. More recently, when I needed an end of tenancy clean for my flat in Cambridge, I did not hesitate to contact HelloService again. I was pleased that they still had my records and even offered a returning customer discount. Although the price was slightly higher than before, I was happy to proceed given my previous experience, especially as they provide a seven-day guarantee, which not many companies offer. While the first team did not fully meet the expected standard, the company responded quickly and arranged a re-clean the very next day. I really appreciated this prompt response. Denisse and her team in Cambridge delivered an excellent service. They carefully followed the checkout report, addressed all the issues in detail and carried out a thorough clean across the entire flat. The overall standard was very high and the property is now in very good condition. I truly appreciate the professionalism, responsiveness and reliability of the company. I also enquired about a regular monthly cleaning service and, although this is not something they currently offer, I would certainly have considered using them for this as well. This is not the first time I have used HelloService and my experience has consistently been positive. I would highly recommend their services and would happily use them again in the future.”

Green north Manchester suburb wrapped around Boggart Hole Clough and the Irk valley. The ICI/Clayton Aniline dyeworks employed thousands; the village core still shows pre-industrial cottages.
Blackley Forest and Clough events, the long Victoria Avenue estates, Boggart Hole Clough parkrun and a settled multi-generational population. The best-known landmark is Boggart Hole Clough, and the M9 postcodes reach Crumpsall, Harpurhey, Moston, Middleton within a short drive.
For an office move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: interwar Corporation semis, 1960s estates and pockets of Victorian cottages. Clough valley shade and Irk mist keep patios and north elevations damp well into spring.
Answers before you book
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 Blackley survey.
Link to this answerYes, and it is our default. Most Manchester 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.

Link to this answerWe 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.
