Office relocation in Openshaw
Move the office, keep the week
Need to move your office in Openshaw 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.
Working east Manchester district rebuilt around the Ashton Old Road retail corridor. That mix decides the method: Post-clearance semis and modern estates with a rump of Victorian terraces. 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 The Manchester College Openshaw campus.
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 Openshaw usually add office cleaning in Openshaw and commercial cleaning in Openshaw to the same job. We run the same office removals crews next door in Clayton and Gorton, and across the region from our Greater Manchester hub.

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

Coverage
Where we move offices around Openshaw
Openshaw sits in Manchester, covered by M11 and served by Manchester City Council. Armstrong Whitworth's Openshaw works made guns and steel; the closures of the 1960s emptied the terraces that clearance then replaced. Ashton Old Road shops, Higher Openshaw churches and new-build family estates. Its commercial stock reflects that: Post-clearance semis and modern estates with a rump of Victorian terraces. The Manchester College Openshaw campus remains the local reference point for deliveries and loading.

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: 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.

Openshaw office removals FAQs
How much do office removals cost in Openshaw?
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 Openshaw survey.
Link to this answerCan you move our Openshaw 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 The Manchester College Openshaw campus?
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 M11 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 Openshaw building managers.
Link to this answerCan you clear and clean the old Openshaw 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 Openshaw?
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 Openshaw moves are often possible — we hold weekend capacity back for exactly that.
Link to this answerDo you cover the areas around Openshaw?
Yes — Clayton, Gorton, Beswick, Ardwick, Droylsden 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.
