Loughborough has more business types packed into a small town than most places its size: professional practices in the town centre, spin-outs and tech firms on the university science park, and light-industrial units out towards the A6. An office move here is rarely just desks and chairs. We survey both buildings first, work out what has to move and in what order, and plan the whole thing around your working week so the business keeps running while it relocates.
The cleanest office move is one your customers never notice. We run evening and weekend moves as standard so your team finishes at the old address and starts at the new one without losing a working day. For a phased move, we shift one department at a time while the rest keep trading. Town centre offices around the Market Place and Baxter Gate often have limited parking and narrow loading access, and some of the older buildings have upper floors with no lift. We check all of that at the survey, plan the carry and the vehicle around it, and agree the timing before the day so there are no surprises when the van arrives.
Your crew is matched to the office: how many staff, how much IT, the access at both ends, and how tight the window is. We cover commercial moves across Loughborough and the LE11 area, from town centre professional offices to the units on Loughborough University Science and Enterprise Park (LUSEP) and the business and light-industrial estates off the A6 and Belton Road. For science-park and lab-based tenants, specialist equipment and sensitive kit need careful handling and sequencing, and we plan that in at the survey rather than working it out on the day. Moves between Loughborough and Leicester, Shepshed, or the wider Charnwood area are handled regularly, along with longer-distance business relocations.
IT is usually where office downtime comes from, so it's where we put the planning. Workstations are powered down, cables managed, labelled by user and desk, and set back down where each person needs them at the new office. 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 relocation; reconnecting the network and configuring hardware stays with your IT team or supplier. What we do is plan the timing around them, so the equipment is in the right room and ready when they come to bring it back up. Tell us at the survey who owns what, and we sequence the move to fit.
We run office packing on reusable crates rather than cardboard for anything that moves regularly. Crates are delivered ahead of the move so staff can pack their own desks, and the team takes care of shared areas, filing, and anything fragile or awkward. Everything is labelled by destination so it lands in the right place at the new office. If you're downsizing, waiting on a fit-out, or moving in stages, we also offer storage handled directly by our team, so furniture and equipment can be held safely between buildings.

Can you move our office outside working hours?
Yes. Evening and weekend moves are the norm for the Loughborough businesses we work with, so trading isn't interrupted. We plan around your last working day and your first day back at the new address.
Do you cover Loughborough University Science and Enterprise Park?
Yes. We handle moves for LUSEP tenants and plan for specialist or sensitive equipment at the survey stage, sequencing the move so lab and technical kit is handled carefully.
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 Loughborough cost?
It depends on staff numbers, the amount of IT and furniture, 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 town centre access?
Town centre buildings around the Market Place and Baxter Gate can have limited parking, narrow loading, and upper floors without a lift. 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 department by department so no team 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 equipment between buildings?
Yes. If you're downsizing or waiting on a fit-out, we offer storage handled directly by our team, so furniture and equipment can be held until the new office is ready.
Do you cover the wider area for business moves?
Yes. We handle commercial moves across Charnwood and between Loughborough and Leicester, Shepshed, Coalville, and beyond, including longer-distance business relocations.
