Oadby is a professional sort of town. A lot of the business here is small practices and offices along The Parade and Leicester Road, plus the activity that comes with the university presence on the edge of the town. Moves tend to be tidy but time-sensitive: the office needs to be working again fast, and the client-facing side can't drop. We survey both buildings first, plan what moves and in what order, and build the job around your working week so the business keeps trading while it relocates.
The cleanest office move is one your clients 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 keeps trading. Offices along The Parade and Leicester Road can have limited parking and shared access, and some sit above ground-floor units with no lift. We check all of that at the survey, plan the carry and 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: staff numbers, the amount of IT, the access at both ends, and how tight the window is. We cover commercial moves across Oadby in the LE2 area, from the offices and practices along The Parade and Leicester Road to the units towards Wigston and the Stoughton Road area. Oadby sits on the south-east edge of Leicester, so moves often run into the city or across to Wigston, Knighton, and Stoneygate, and we handle those routes regularly. If your move crosses more than one floor, needs shared-access arrangements agreed, or involves sensitive records, that's planned at the survey so the right team is in place.
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 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 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 owns 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. For professional firms, client files and records are packed in sequence, labelled, and kept together so nothing is misplaced. Everything is labelled by destination so it lands in the right place. If you're downsizing, waiting on a fit-out, or moving in stages, we also offer storage handled directly by our team, so furniture, equipment, and archived records can be held safely between buildings.

Can you move our office outside working hours?
Yes. Evening and weekend moves are the norm for the Oadby 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.
How do you handle confidential files and records?
We pack client files and records in sequence, label them, and keep them together through the move so nothing is misplaced. For professional firms this is planned in detail at the survey.
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 Oadby 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 shared or upper-floor access?
Many Oadby offices sit above ground-floor units or share access. We check this at the survey, agree arrangements with neighbours or building management where needed, and plan the carry and vehicle around it.
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 furniture or records between buildings?
Yes. If you're downsizing or waiting on a fit-out, we offer storage handled directly by our team, so furniture, equipment, and archived records can be held until the new office is ready.
Do you cover the wider area for business moves?
Yes. We handle commercial moves across south-east Leicester and between Oadby, Wigston, Leicester city, and the surrounding area, along with longer-distance business relocations.
