Free pre-move survey

Office relocation in Manchester City Centre
Move the office, keep the week
Need to move your office in Manchester City Centre 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, Manchester crews.
Dense city-centre core of converted warehouses, new-build towers and Victorian civic stone between Piccadilly and Deansgate. That mix decides the method: Warehouse conversions with exposed brick and cast iron, plus glass-and-render towers from 2005 onwards. 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 Manchester Town Hall and Albert Square.
Permits and loading windows are handled with Manchester City 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 Manchester City Centre usually add office cleaning in Manchester City Centre and commercial cleaning in Manchester City Centre to the same job. We run the same office removals crews next door in Hulme and Ardwick, and across the region from our Greater Manchester hub.

Three steps, no downtime
How an Manchester City Centre office move works
1. Book a free survey
Tell us desk numbers, floors and both addresses. A surveyor visits your Manchester City Centre office — usually within 48 hours — and records the inventory, the lift, the doors and the loading route.
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. 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 Manchester City Centre staff walk into a working floor.
What the fixed price buys
What is included in Manchester City Centre
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 Manchester City Centre 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 Manchester City 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 Manchester City Centre lease hands back empty — with waste transfer notes.

Coverage
Where we move offices around Manchester City Centre
Manchester City Centre sits in Manchester, covered by M1 and M2 and M3 and M4 and served by Manchester City Council. Cottonopolis money built the Royal Exchange and the packing warehouses now split into apartments; the 1996 bomb triggered the rebuild around Exchange Square. Chinatown, the Village, Piccadilly Gardens trams and a seven-day office and hospitality workforce. Its commercial stock reflects that: Warehouse conversions with exposed brick and cast iron, plus glass-and-render towers from 2005 onwards. Manchester Town Hall and Albert Square remains the local reference point for deliveries and loading.

About Manchester City Centre
Dense city-centre core of converted warehouses, new-build towers and Victorian civic stone between Piccadilly and Deansgate. Cottonopolis money built the Royal Exchange and the packing warehouses now split into apartments; the 1996 bomb triggered the rebuild around Exchange Square.
Chinatown, the Village, Piccadilly Gardens trams and a seven-day office and hospitality workforce. The best-known landmark is Manchester Town Hall and Albert Square, and the M1/M2/M3/M4 postcodes reach Ancoats, Northern Quarter, Castlefield, Hulme within a short drive.
For an office move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: warehouse conversions with exposed brick and cast iron, plus glass-and-render towers from 2005 onwards. Tram dust, takeaway grease and diesel film off the Mancunian Way settle fast on white gloss and light engineered floors.

Answers before you book
Manchester City Centre office removals FAQs
How much do office removals cost in Manchester City Centre?
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 Manchester City Centre survey.
Link to this answerCan you move our Manchester City Centre office over a weekend or overnight?
Yes, 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 answerDo 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.
Link to this answerWhat about loading and parking around Manchester Town Hall and Albert Square?
Manchester 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 M1 and M2 and M3 and M4 on the night.
Link to this answerWill 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 Manchester City Centre building managers.
Link to this answerCan you clear and clean the old Manchester City Centre 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.
Link to this answerHow far in advance should we book an office move in Manchester City Centre?
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 Manchester City Centre moves are often possible — we hold weekend capacity back for exactly that.
Link to this answerDo you cover the areas around Manchester City Centre?
Yes — Ancoats, Northern Quarter, Castlefield, Hulme, Ardwick and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own office removals page and the same fixed pricing.
Link to this answerCan 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.
Link to this answerDo 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.
Link to this answerWho 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.
