Ashby-de-la-Zouch does a fair bit of business for a market town, helped by the A42 running past it and connecting the town straight into the East Midlands and down towards the M42. You get professional offices in the historic centre and light-industrial and business units out along the main roads, and plenty of moves here cross the border into South Derbyshire. We survey both buildings first, work out what moves and in what order, and plan the job around your trading hours so the business keeps running while it relocates.
The best commercial move is one your customers never feel. We run evening and weekend moves as standard, so your team finishes at the old premises and starts at the new one without losing a working day. For a phased move, we shift one area at a time while the rest keeps running. Business units along the A42 corridor generally have good access and loading space, which lets us run larger vehicles and tighter schedules. Offices in the historic centre around Market Street and North Street can be a different matter, with restricted access near the castle and limited parking, and we plan the vehicle and carry around that at the survey.
Your crew is matched to the job: staff numbers, the amount of IT and equipment, the access at both ends, and how tight the window is. We cover commercial moves across Ashby-de-la-Zouch and the LE65 area, from town centre offices to the business and light-industrial units along the A42 and A511. The A42 makes Ashby a natural point for moves across the border into Swadlincote and Woodville in South Derbyshire, and up towards the M42 and Birmingham, and we handle those routes regularly, along with moves into Coalville and Loughborough. If your move involves stock, workshop equipment, or anything heavier than standard office furniture, we plan the right vehicles and crew at the survey.
IT is where most office downtime comes from, so it gets the most planning. Workstations are powered down, cables managed, labelled by user and desk, and set back down where each person needs them at the new premises. Servers and comms equipment are packed with anti-static protection and moved in sequence so critical kit is off for as little time as possible. We handle the physical move; reconnecting the network and configuring hardware stays with your IT team or supplier. Our job is to sequence the move around them, so equipment is in the right room and ready when they arrive to bring it back up. Tell us at the survey who's responsible for what, and we plan to fit.
Office packing runs on reusable crates rather than cardboard for anything that moves often. Crates go out ahead of the move so staff can pack their own desks, and the team handles shared areas, filing, and fragile or awkward items. Everything is labelled by destination so it lands in the right place. For businesses moving stock or equipment, we plan the handling as part of the job. If you're downsizing, waiting on a fit-out, or moving in stages, we also offer storage handled directly by our team, so stock, furniture, and equipment can be held safely between buildings.

Can you move our office outside working hours?
Yes. Evening and weekend moves are standard for the Ashby businesses we work with, so trading isn't interrupted. We plan around your last working day and your first day back at the new premises.
Do you move across the border into South Derbyshire?
Yes. A lot of Ashby moves cross into Swadlincote and Woodville, and we handle those routes regularly. The survey accounts for both addresses regardless of which side of the border each one sits.
Do you move IT and servers?
Yes. We power down, cable-manage, label, and relocate workstations, and pack servers and comms equipment with anti-static protection. We don't reconnect or configure hardware, but we sequence the move around your IT team so it's ready for them.
How much does an office move in Ashby cost?
It depends on staff numbers, the amount of IT, furniture and stock, access at both buildings, and whether the move runs out of hours. As a guide, a smaller SME move (under 20 staff) typically falls between £1,500 and £4,000 in 2026. The survey quote reflects your actual move.
How do you handle historic town centre access?
Offices near Market Street and North Street can have restricted access near the castle and limited parking. We check access at the survey, plan the carry and vehicle around it, and agree timing in advance.
Can you move us in phases?
Yes. For businesses that can't close, we phase the move so no single area loses more than a few hours. This is planned in detail at the survey.
Do you provide crates?
Yes. We deliver reusable crates ahead of the move for staff to pack their own desks, and the team handles shared areas, filing, and fragile items.
Can you store stock or equipment between buildings?
Yes. If you're downsizing or waiting on a fit-out, we offer storage handled directly by our team, so stock, furniture, and equipment can be held until the new premises is ready.
Do you cover moves out of the area?
Yes. Ashby's position on the A42 makes it an easy base for moves into South Derbyshire, up towards the M42 and Birmingham, and across to Coalville and Loughborough, along with longer-distance business relocations.
