Free pre-move survey

Office relocation in Northern Quarter
Move the office, keep the week
Office removals in Northern Quarter are won or lost on the hours nobody sees: the survey, the crate drop, the lift booking and the labelling. We move M1 and M4 businesses out of hours so the floor is dark when we start and working when your team badges in, and every Northern Quarter office relocation is quoted as a fixed price after a free survey.
Four- and five-storey warehouse flats with sash windows, timber boards and shared stairwells. It matters more than most quotes admit — stair carries, protected floors and a shared lift can add hours to a Northern Quarter 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 Northern Quarter on the night.
Teams booking this in Northern Quarter usually add office cleaning in Northern Quarter and commercial cleaning in Northern Quarter to the same job. We run the same office removals crews next door in Castlefield and Ardwick, and across the region from our Greater Manchester hub.

Three steps, no downtime
How an Northern Quarter office move works
1. Book a free survey
Tell us desk numbers, floors and both addresses. A surveyor visits your Northern Quarter 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 Northern Quarter staff walk into a working floor.
What the fixed price buys
What is included in Northern Quarter
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 Northern Quarter 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 Northern Quarter lease hands back empty — with waste transfer notes.

Coverage
Where we move offices around Northern Quarter
Northern Quarter sits in Manchester, covered by M1 and M4 and served by Manchester City Council. Built as the Smithfield market and textile-wholesaling quarter; the trade collapsed and the stock was reclaimed by independents from the 1990s. Street-art trails, Tib Street bars, and dense above-shop flats and short lets. Its commercial stock reflects that: Four- and five-storey warehouse flats with sash windows, timber boards and shared stairwells. Afflecks and the Stevenson Square murals remains the local reference point for deliveries and loading.

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.

About Northern Quarter
Independent-retail grid of red-brick warehouses, record shops, bars and murals between Piccadilly and Shudehill. Built as the Smithfield market and textile-wholesaling quarter; the trade collapsed and the stock was reclaimed by independents from the 1990s.
Street-art trails, Tib Street bars, and dense above-shop flats and short lets. The best-known landmark is Afflecks and the Stevenson Square murals, and the M1/M4 postcodes reach Ancoats, Manchester City Centre, Castlefield, Ardwick within a short drive.
For an office move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: four- and five-storey warehouse flats with sash windows, timber boards and shared stairwells. Night-time economy grime, cooking extract and pigeon fouling load the front elevations and stair glazing.

Answers before you book
Northern Quarter office removals FAQs
How much do office removals cost in Northern Quarter?
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 Northern Quarter survey.
Link to this answerCan you move our Northern Quarter 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 Afflecks and the Stevenson Square murals?
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 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 Northern Quarter building managers.
Link to this answerCan you clear and clean the old Northern Quarter 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 Northern Quarter?
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 Northern Quarter moves are often possible — we hold weekend capacity back for exactly that.
Link to this answerDo you cover the areas around Northern Quarter?
Yes — Ancoats, Manchester City Centre, Castlefield, Ardwick, Cheetham Hill 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.
