Office relocation in Old Trafford
Need to move your office in Old Trafford 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, Trafford crews.
Inner Trafford district between the two famous grounds and Manchester's south-west edge, with grand Victorian streets and heavy match-day traffic. That mix decides the method: Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor. 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 Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and Old Trafford stadium.
Permits and loading windows are handled with Trafford 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 Old Trafford usually add office cleaning in Old Trafford and commercial cleaning in Old Trafford to the same job. We run the same office removals crews next door in Moss Side and Chorlton-cum-Hardy, 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 Old Trafford 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 Old Trafford staff walk into a working floor.
What the fixed price buys
A surveyor walks both your Old Trafford 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 Old Trafford 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 Trafford 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 Old Trafford lease hands back empty — with waste transfer notes.
Why Old Trafford 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.

Coverage
Old Trafford sits in Trafford, covered by M16 and served by Trafford Council. Laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; Lancashire County Cricket Club moved here in 1857 and United in 1910. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents. Its commercial stock reflects that: Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor. Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and Old Trafford stadium 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 Old Trafford 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 Old Trafford
Anonymised case studies from recent Trafford 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.
M16, a few minutes from Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and Old Trafford stadium
The challenge: Loading on a Trafford Council controlled length, which meant a suspension and a booked bay before a single crate moved.
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 a single Saturday, 07:00 to 19:00.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Old Trafford with every desk rebuilt, labelled and reconnected. Old furniture and WEEE were cleared under waste transfer notes on the way out.
the Trafford side of Old Trafford
The challenge: Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor — 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 a single Saturday, 07:00 to 19:00.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Old Trafford 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 Old Trafford (M16)
The challenge: A live neighbouring tenant in the same Old Trafford building, so noise and lift use were capped outside agreed hours.

Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents. The best-known landmark is Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and Old Trafford stadium, and the M16 postcodes reach Stretford, Whalley Range, Hulme, Moss Side within a short drive.
For an office move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor. Chester Road traffic film and match-day litter grey frontages within weeks; original tiled paths and sandstone sills hold ingrained dirt.
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 Old Trafford survey. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerYes, and it is our default. Most Trafford 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. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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.

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. In Old Trafford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.

Weekend work is priced into the fixed quote, not added as a premium. In Old Trafford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Link to this answerMost M16 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. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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 — Stretford customers usually clear those with the same booking. Crews run from Trafford, so Stretford and Whalley Range 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. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerTrafford 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 M16 on the night. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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 Old Trafford building managers. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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 Old Trafford moves are often possible — we hold weekend capacity back for exactly that. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerYes — Stretford, Whalley Range, Hulme, Moss Side, Chorlton-cum-Hardy and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own office removals page and the same fixed pricing. Booked most often on the M16 streets around Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Trafford Council controls loading on most M16 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. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerBlocks in this part of Trafford run one goods lift and a timed bay. We book both at survey, and if the lift is out the quote already carries the stair-carry hours rather than adding them on the day. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerAccess, parking and timing
Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor. That stock, the street it sits on and the Trafford Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
The crew should be carrying, not circling. We confirm the restriction type on the M16 end, arrange a suspension through Trafford Council where it is worth it, and plan the closest legal standing point to the door. Crews run from Trafford, so Stretford and Whalley Range journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Lift bookings and loading-bay slots decide the day here: we confirm the concierge window before the crew leaves the depot, and carry protection for lift cars and communal carpet as standard. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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. In Old Trafford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
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. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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 Trafford rather than starting from a blank form.
RAMS supplied
Goods-lift slots, building inductions and RAMS for the managing agent are arranged in advance, with the loading bay near Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and Old Trafford stadium booked for the window we are given. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, 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. Booked most often on the M16 streets around Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground.
Priced per desk
Reconfiguring a floor rather than leaving the building: benches broken down, relabelled and rebuilt overnight to a numbered floor plan. Booked most often on the M16 streets around Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground.
Evening and weekend crews
Crated Friday evening, moved overnight, desks and IT live for Monday — the sequence most Trafford tenants book so no trading day is lost. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Before you book
Most complaints about removals in Trafford come down to three things: the price changed, the crew was short, or nobody answered the phone. These are our commitments on all three.
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.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Old Trafford office relocation, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
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.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M16 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
Booked with your office move
A move in Trafford is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our Old Trafford 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.
