Free pre-move survey
A surveyor walks both your Walkden floor and the destination, measures the lift, the doors and the loading route, and writes the inventory the fixed price is built on.

Office relocation in Walkden
Need to move your office in Walkden 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.
Busy Salford town with the Ellesmere Shopping Centre and a well-used rail link to Manchester. That mix decides the method: Interwar semis, ex-colliery terraces and large modern estates. 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 Ellesmere Shopping Centre and Parr Fold Park.
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 Walkden usually add office cleaning in Walkden and commercial cleaning in Walkden to the same job. We run the same office removals crews next door in Worsley and Boothstown, 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 Walkden 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 Walkden staff walk into a working floor.
What the fixed price buys
A surveyor walks both your Walkden 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 Walkden 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 Walkden lease hands back empty — with waste transfer notes.
Why Walkden 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 Walkden office relocation is scheduled out of hours by default — Friday evening to Sunday for full floors.
We work Salford buildings every week and already know which ones have one lift, a tight dock or a 30-minute loading window.
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 Walkden team.

Coverage
Walkden sits in Salford, covered by M28 and served by Salford City Council. A coal-mining town on the Bridgewater estate; the last pits closed in the 1960s and retail replaced them. Walkden High, Parr Fold events and a large commuter population. Its commercial stock reflects that: Interwar semis, ex-colliery terraces and large modern estates. Ellesmere Shopping Centre and Parr Fold Park 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 Walkden 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.

Anonymised case studies from recent Salford 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.
M28, a few minutes from Ellesmere Shopping Centre and Parr Fold Park
The challenge: A live neighbouring tenant in the same Walkden building, so noise and lift use were capped outside agreed hours.
How we ran it: Survey walked both floors, crates landed a week early, IT was port-labelled desk by desk and the move ran Friday 18:00 to Sunday 16:00.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Walkden 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 Walkden
The challenge: A 1990s business-park unit 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 a single Saturday, 07:00 to 19:00.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Walkden 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 Walkden (M28)
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: Friday 18:00 to Sunday 16:00.
Staff logged in on the next working morning in Walkden with every desk rebuilt, labelled and reconnected. Old furniture and WEEE were cleared under waste transfer notes on the way out.

Busy Salford town with the Ellesmere Shopping Centre and a well-used rail link to Manchester. A coal-mining town on the Bridgewater estate; the last pits closed in the 1960s and retail replaced them.
Walkden High, Parr Fold events and a large commuter population. The best-known landmark is Ellesmere Shopping Centre and Parr Fold Park, and the M28 postcodes reach Little Hulton, Worsley, Boothstown, Swinton within a short drive.
For an office move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: interwar semis, ex-colliery terraces and large modern estates. Former colliery ground and clay soil give heavy mud splash on drives through winter.
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 Walkden survey. Booked most often on the M28 streets around Ellesmere Shopping Centre.
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. Walkden High, Parr Fold events and a large commuter population — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M28 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

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. Roughly 11,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerMost M28 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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M28 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
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 — Little Hulton customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Walkden or across to Little Hulton.
Link to this answerYes. 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 Walkden building managers. Crews run from Salford, so Little Hulton and Worsley journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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 Walkden or across to Little Hulton.
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. Crews run from Salford, so Little Hulton and Worsley journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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 M28 on the night. Walkden High, Parr Fold events and a large commuter population — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M28 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. Roughly 11,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerDriveway loading makes these moves efficient. What moves the price is the loft, the garage and the shed, so the survey deliberately opens all three. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Local context matters here: a coal-mining town on the bridgewater estate; the last pits closed in the 1960s and retail replaced them, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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 Walkden moves are often possible — we hold weekend capacity back for exactly that. Roughly 11,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerYes — Little Hulton, Worsley, Boothstown, Swinton, Tyldesley and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own office removals page and the same fixed pricing. Most Walkden properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerAccess, parking and timing
Interwar semis, ex-colliery terraces and large modern estates. 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.
Semis 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. Local context matters here: a coal-mining town on the bridgewater estate; the last pits closed in the 1960s and retail replaced them, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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. Roughly 11,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Busy Salford town with the Ellesmere Shopping Centre and a well-used rail link to Manchester. 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. Local context matters here: a coal-mining town on the bridgewater estate; the last pits closed in the 1960s and retail replaced them, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Salford City Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across M28. Where a bay suspension is needed near Ellesmere Shopping Centre and Parr Fold Park we apply for it in advance and the cost sits in the written quote, not on an invoice afterwards. Crews run from Salford, so Little Hulton and Worsley journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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.
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 M28 streets around Ellesmere Shopping Centre.
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. Local context matters here: a coal-mining town on the bridgewater estate; the last pits closed in the 1960s and retail replaced them, 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 Ellesmere Shopping Centre and Parr Fold Park booked for the window we are given. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Walkden or across to Little Hulton.
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 M28 streets around Ellesmere Shopping Centre.
Before you book
Most complaints about removals in Salford come down to three things: the price changed, the crew was short, or nobody answered the phone. These are our commitments on all three.
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 M28 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
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.
Booked with your office move
A move in Salford is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our Walkden 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.
