Office Moves in Barwell

We recommend booking at least two to three weeks ahead for a standard Barwell office move, and four to six weeks if you need a weekend slot or have a large volume of items. That gives us time to complete a site survey, prepare the quote, and allocate the right crew and vehicle.

For urgent moves, contact us directly and we will do our best to accommodate short-notice bookings based on current availability.

Yes. We supply double-walled cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, furniture blankets, packing tape, and specialist wrapping for monitor screens and IT hardware. These can be delivered to your Barwell premises ahead of moving day or supplied by our crew on arrival. If you prefer to pack yourselves, we are happy to advise on quantities and method.

Full or partial packing services are also available at an additional cost, with everything labelled to your floor plan.

All Giant Van moves include goods-in-transit insurance as standard, covering your office furniture, equipment, and files while in our care. We recommend checking your own business contents policy as well, as some insurers require notification of a planned move.

If you have high-value items such as specialist machinery or antique furniture, let us know at the survey stage and we will confirm the cover level and any additional steps needed to protect those items.

Yes, we handle IT equipment moves including monitors, desktop units, printers, and server racks. We use anti-static wrapping and dedicated hardware boxes to protect sensitive electronics. We recommend your IT team disconnects and labels all cabling before moving day, and reconnects at the destination, as we do not provide IT setup services.

However, our crew will place equipment exactly where indicated at the new premises to make reconnection straightforward.

We do. Early morning starts from 6am, evening moves finishing by 10pm, and weekend bookings are all available depending on scheduling. Out-of-hours moves are popular with Barwell businesses that cannot afford to close during normal trading hours. Rates for out-of-hours slots are detailed in your quote upfront, so there are no surprises.

Just tell us your preferred window during the enquiry stage and we will check availability.

If your destination in or around Leicester is not ready to receive goods, we offer short-term secure storage at our facility. Items are wrapped, inventoried, and held until your new premises is available, then delivered and placed as planned. Storage fees are charged by the week and confirmed in advance.

This arrangement is common when completion dates slip or fit-out works overrun, and it keeps your move on track without forcing you to use unsecured alternatives.

Large items such as boardroom tables, reception desks, and industrial shelving are assessed at the survey stage. Where items can be safely disassembled, we do so and reassemble at the destination. Where they cannot, we use specialist moving equipment including stair walkers, furniture skates, and trolleys to navigate tight spaces safely.

Our crew are trained in manual handling to legal standards and will always assess load weight before lifting to prevent injury and damage.

Absolutely. We work with sole traders, start-ups, and small businesses across Leicester just as readily as larger corporate clients. Small office moves often involve fewer items but require the same level of care and punctuality. We apply the same survey, fixed-quote, and professional-crew approach regardless of move size.

Many of our repeat Barwell clients started with a single-room office move and have returned as their business has grown.
