Office relocation in Irlam
Need to move your office in Irlam 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, Salford crews.
Ship Canal town rebuilt around a modern station and the old steelworks site. That mix decides the method: 1930s semis, steelworker terraces and new estates on reclaimed land. 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 Irlam Station heritage building and the Irlam Steel Recreation Ground.
Permits and loading windows are handled with Salford City Council in advance, and both landlords receive a method statement, risk assessment and our £1m liability certificate before anyone arrives on site.
Teams booking this in Irlam usually add office cleaning in Irlam and commercial cleaning in Irlam to the same job. We run the same office removals crews next door in Partington and Urmston, 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 Irlam 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 Irlam staff walk into a working floor.
What the fixed price buys
A surveyor walks both your Irlam 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 Irlam 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 Salford 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 Irlam lease hands back empty — with waste transfer notes.
Why Irlam 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 Irlam office relocation is scheduled out of hours by default — Friday evening to Sunday for full floors.
Crews are routed from Salford bases, so there is no travel surcharge and no 6am motorway gamble on the morning of your move.
Goods in transit, £1m 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 Irlam team.

Coverage
Irlam sits in Salford, covered by M44 and served by Salford City Council. The Lancashire Steel Works employed the town for decades; the site is now Northbank industrial estate. Irlam and Cadishead Academy, Princes Park and a proud independent identity. Its commercial stock reflects that: 1930s semis, steelworker terraces and new estates on reclaimed land. Irlam Station heritage building and the Irlam Steel Recreation Ground 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 Irlam 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.

M44, a few minutes from Irlam Station heritage building and the Irlam Steel Recreation Ground
The challenge: 1930s semis, steelworker terraces and new estates on reclaimed land — the destination had protected floors and a tight turn at the entrance.
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 Irlam with every desk rebuilt, labelled and reconnected. Old furniture and WEEE were cleared under waste transfer notes on the way out.
the Salford side of Irlam
The challenge: Loading on a Salford City Council controlled length, which meant a suspension and a booked bay before a single crate moved.
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: an overnight Wednesday slot.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Irlam 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 Irlam (M44)
The challenge: A serviced-office floor 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 Irlam with every desk rebuilt, labelled and reconnected. Old furniture and WEEE were cleared under waste transfer notes on the way out.

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 Irlam survey. Booked most often on the M44 streets around Irlam Station heritage building.
Link to this answerYes, and it is our default. Most Salford 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. Most Irlam properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerOur 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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M44 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

Link to this answerYes. A method statement, risk assessment and our liability certificate are issued with the booking confirmation, addressed to both the outgoing and incoming building managers. Booked most often on the M44 streets around Irlam Station heritage building.
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 — Cadishead customers usually clear those with the same booking. Roughly 6,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerMost M44 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. Most Irlam properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
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. Booked most often on the M44 streets around Irlam Station heritage building.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M44 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 M44 streets around Irlam Station heritage building.
Link to this answerYes — Cadishead, Eccles, Partington, Urmston, Worsley and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own office removals page and the same fixed pricing. Crews run from Salford, so Cadishead and Eccles 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 Irlam moves are often possible — we hold weekend capacity back for exactly that. Roughly 6,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Irlam or across to Cadishead.

A method statement, risk assessment, £1m public liability certificate and goods-in-transit cover note are issued with your booking confirmation, addressed to both the outgoing and incoming Irlam building managers. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Irlam or across to Cadishead.
Link to this answerSalford City 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 M44 on the night. Crews run from Salford, so Cadishead and Eccles journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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.

Link to this answerAccess, parking and timing
1930s semis, steelworker terraces and new estates on reclaimed land. That stock, the street it sits on and the Salford City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
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. Local context matters here: the lancashire steel works employed the town for decades; the site is now northbank industrial estate, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Salford City Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across M44. Where a bay suspension is needed near Irlam Station heritage building and the Irlam Steel Recreation Ground we apply for it in advance and the cost sits in the written quote, not on an invoice afterwards. Local context matters here: the lancashire steel works employed the town for decades; the site is now northbank industrial estate, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Ship Canal town rebuilt around a modern station and the old steelworks site. Loads out of here run best on an early start, before the Salford school and commuter peak closes the approach roads. We plan the route with that in mind rather than quoting an optimistic drive time. Most Irlam properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
A five-minute video walk-through covering every room, the stairwell and the street is enough to fix the price. Anything you add later is quoted before we start, never after loading. Salford City Council loading rules on the M44 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
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 Salford rather than starting from a blank form.
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: the lancashire steel works employed the town for decades; the site is now northbank industrial estate, 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 Irlam Station heritage building and the Irlam Steel Recreation Ground booked for the window we are given. Roughly 6,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Evening and weekend crews
Crated Friday evening, moved overnight, desks and IT live for Monday — the sequence most Salford tenants book so no trading day is lost. Crews run from Salford, so Cadishead and Eccles journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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: the lancashire steel works employed the town for decades; the site is now northbank industrial estate, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Before you book
The cheapest quote in Irlam 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.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Irlam 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.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M44 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
Booked with your office move
A move in Salford is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our Irlam 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.
