Melton Mowbray is a food town first and foremost, with production units, food businesses, and their offices spread across the town and out into the rural units around it. Add the professional firms and agricultural businesses in the centre and you get a mix where an office move can mean anything from a dozen desks to a unit full of equipment. We survey both buildings before we quote, 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. Town centre offices around Nottingham Street and the Market Place can have limited parking and narrow loading on busy market days, and we plan the vehicle and timing around that at the survey. Rural business units and the food enterprise premises on the edges of town are more open for access, which lets us run larger vehicles and tighter schedules where the job calls for it.
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 Melton Mowbray and the LE13 area, from town centre offices to the food-production and business units around the town and out into the surrounding rural parishes. The A606 and A607 connect Melton to Leicester, Nottingham, and Grantham, and we handle moves along those corridors regularly, including relocations across rural east Leicestershire and into Rutland. If your move involves production equipment, cold storage, or anything heavier than standard office furniture, we plan the right vehicles, lifting equipment, 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 equipment or production kit, 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 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 Melton 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 handle equipment and production kit?
Yes. Melton's food and production businesses often move more than desks. We plan equipment, heavier items, and any specialist handling at the survey, with the right vehicles and lifting gear in place.
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 Melton Mowbray cost?
It depends on staff numbers, the amount of IT, furniture and equipment, 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?
Buildings around Nottingham Street and the Market Place can have limited parking and narrow loading, especially on market days. 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 furniture or 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 premises is ready.
Do you cover the wider area for business moves?
Yes. We handle commercial moves across rural east Leicestershire and into Rutland, and between Melton Mowbray, Leicester, Nottingham, and Grantham, along with longer-distance business relocations.
