Free pre-move survey
A surveyor walks both your Hollinwood 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 Hollinwood
Office removals in Hollinwood are won or lost on the hours nobody sees: the survey, the crate drop, the lift booking and the labelling. We move OL8 businesses out of hours so the floor is dark when we start and working when your team badges in, and every Hollinwood office relocation is quoted as a fixed price after a free survey.
Terraced mill rows off Hollins Road, interwar semis and 2000s estates on the old Ferranti and colliery land. It matters more than most quotes admit — stair carries, protected floors and a shared lift can add hours to a Hollinwood office move, so we measure them at survey rather than discover them at 7pm on a Friday.
We book the bay with Oldham Council, agree the goods-lift window with both buildings, and issue RAMS up front — the three things that stall a business relocation in Hollinwood on the night.
Teams booking this in Hollinwood usually add office cleaning in Hollinwood and commercial cleaning in Hollinwood to the same job. We run the same office removals crews next door in Oldham and Failsworth, 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 Hollinwood 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 Hollinwood staff walk into a working floor.
What the fixed price buys
A surveyor walks both your Hollinwood 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 Hollinwood 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 Oldham 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 Hollinwood lease hands back empty — with waste transfer notes.
Why Hollinwood 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 Hollinwood office relocation is scheduled out of hours by default — Friday evening to Sunday for full floors.
Crews are routed from Oldham 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 Hollinwood team.

Coverage
Hollinwood sits in Oldham, covered by OL8 and served by Oldham Council. Ferranti's electrical works employed thousands here from 1896; the canal and coal pits came first, the business parks last. Hollinwood Academy, the canal-restoration volunteers and a commuter population on the tram line. Its commercial stock reflects that: Terraced mill rows off Hollins Road, interwar semis and 2000s estates on the old Ferranti and colliery land. Hollinwood Metrolink stop and the Hollinwood Branch Canal 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 Hollinwood 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 Hollinwood
Anonymised case studies from recent Oldham 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.
OL8, a few minutes from Hollinwood Metrolink stop and the Hollinwood Branch Canal
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: Survey walked both floors, crates landed a week early, IT was port-labelled desk by desk and the move ran two consecutive evenings.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Hollinwood with every desk rebuilt, labelled and reconnected. Old furniture and WEEE were cleared under waste transfer notes on the way out.
the Oldham side of Hollinwood
The challenge: Loading on a Oldham Council controlled length, which meant a suspension and a booked bay before a single crate moved.
How we ran it: Survey walked both floors, crates landed a week early, IT was port-labelled desk by desk and the move ran two consecutive evenings.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Hollinwood 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 Hollinwood (OL8)
The challenge: Terraced mill rows off Hollins Road, interwar semis and 2000s estates on the old Ferranti and colliery land — the destination had protected floors and a tight turn at the entrance.
How we ran it: Phased plan by department: crates and archives first, then desks dismantled and rebuilt to the new floor plan, IT reconnected last. Slot: two consecutive evenings.

Oldham's south-western gateway on the Metrolink and the M60, mixing old mill streets with new business parks. Ferranti's electrical works employed thousands here from 1896; the canal and coal pits came first, the business parks last.
Hollinwood Academy, the canal-restoration volunteers and a commuter population on the tram line. The best-known landmark is Hollinwood Metrolink stop and the Hollinwood Branch Canal, and the OL8 postcodes reach Oldham, Failsworth, Chadderton, New Moston within a short drive.
For an office move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: terraced mill rows off Hollins Road, interwar semis and 2000s estates on the old Ferranti and colliery land. M60 traffic film and business-park dust settle fast on white uPVC and shopfront glass; canal damp greens rear yards.
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 Hollinwood survey. Roughly 4,200 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerYes, and it is our default. Most Oldham 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. Oldham Council loading rules on the OL8 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerOldham 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 OL8 on the night. Roughly 4,200 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerWorkstations, 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Hollinwood or across to Oldham.
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. Booked most often on the OL8 streets around Hollinwood Metrolink stop.
Link to this answerYes. 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 Hollinwood building managers. Booked most often on the OL8 streets around Hollinwood Metrolink stop.
Link to this answerYes — Oldham, Failsworth, Chadderton, New Moston, Moston and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own office removals page and the same fixed pricing. Crews run from Oldham, so Oldham and Failsworth journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerThree to four weeks is comfortable for up to thirty desks, and six to eight weeks for a full floor with phased IT. Short-notice Hollinwood moves are often possible — we hold weekend capacity back for exactly that. Booked most often on the OL8 streets around Hollinwood Metrolink stop.
Link to this answerSemis here usually give you a driveway or a dropped kerb, which keeps the carry short — the time goes into loft contents, garage shelving and the garden kit people forget to mention until the day. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Most Hollinwood properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Oldham Council controls loading on most OL8 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. Booked most often on the OL8 streets around Hollinwood Metrolink stop.
Link to this answerPianos, 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 — Oldham customers usually clear those with the same booking. Local context matters here: ferranti's electrical works employed thousands here from 1896; the canal and coal pits came first, the business parks last, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerMost OL8 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. Hollinwood Academy, the canal-restoration volunteers and a commuter population on the tram line — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Link to this answerAccess, parking and timing
Terraced mill rows off Hollins Road, interwar semis and 2000s estates on the old Ferranti and colliery land. That stock, the street it sits on and the Oldham Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
Start times here are set by the access, not the diary: where a lift, a bay or a school-run street is involved the crew starts early and finishes inside the day rather than paying for a second visit. Booked most often on the OL8 streets around Hollinwood Metrolink stop.
Tell us about the loft, the garage, the shed and anything that will not come apart. It is the unlisted items, not the address, that turn a comfortable day into an overtime one. Hollinwood Academy, the canal-restoration volunteers and a commuter population on the tram line — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Driveway loading makes these moves efficient. What moves the price is the loft, the garage and the shed, so the survey deliberately opens all three. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Hollinwood or across to Oldham.
The crew should be carrying, not circling. We confirm the restriction type on the OL8 end, arrange a suspension through Oldham Council where it is worth it, and plan the closest legal standing point to the door. Hollinwood Academy, the canal-restoration volunteers and a commuter population on the tram line — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Booked here week to week
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 Oldham rather than starting from a blank form.
Evening and weekend crews
Crated Friday evening, moved overnight, desks and IT live for Monday — the sequence most Oldham tenants book so no trading day is lost. Most Hollinwood properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Priced per desk
Reconfiguring a floor rather than leaving the building: benches broken down, relabelled and rebuilt overnight to a numbered floor plan. Local context matters here: ferranti's electrical works employed thousands here from 1896; the canal and coal pits came first, the business parks last, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Move plus 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. Local context matters here: ferranti's electrical works employed thousands here from 1896; the canal and coal pits came first, the business parks last, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
RAMS supplied
Goods-lift slots, building inductions and RAMS for the managing agent are arranged in advance, with the loading bay near Hollinwood Metrolink stop and the Hollinwood Branch Canal booked for the window we are given. Booked most often on the OL8 streets around Hollinwood Metrolink stop.
Before you book
The cheapest quote in Hollinwood is usually the one with the least written down. Here is exactly what our price covers and what happens when the day does not go to plan.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the OL8 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
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.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Hollinwood office relocation, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
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.
Booked with your office move
A move in Oldham is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our Hollinwood 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.
