How It Works

Every IT relocation starts with a scoping exercise — working through the technical, logistical and business considerations before a single cable is touched. For server relocations especially, that means liaising with your stakeholders early to build a schedule specific to your move, not a generic timeline. Devices, cabling and connectivity are audited, tagged and labelled before anything is disconnected, so nothing goes missing and nothing gets reconnected to the wrong port on the other side.

Decommissioning, transport and recommissioning are handled by the same team: engineers who label all connectivity and power feeds, remove cabling, then place servers into purpose-built containers for transport. PCs, laptops, printers and phones travel in anti-static, air-cushion packaging and secure crates, not general removals boxes. On arrival, everything is re-racked or re-sited to plan, reconnected, and tested by our team alongside yours before we call the job done.

It’s this combination, specialist IT engineers working inside a wider business relocation team, that means your IT relocation isn’t handed off to a subcontractor who’s never seen the rest of your move. It’s planned and delivered as one project, not two.

What We Handle

Desk Moves: PCs, laptops, monitors, phones and printers.

Cabling and Cable Management: every connection accounted for, so nothing gets lost between old office and new.

Server and Data Centre Relocation: the most complex end of what we do, and where the process above matters most. For server-room-only projects, our dedicated server relocation service goes into more depth.

Businesses That Have Trusted Us With Their IT

When Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking needed to relocate 716 staff across three phases at Cannon Bridge, including full decommissioning and recommissioning of trading desk IT, the project ran with zero business disruption and a 100% IT recommissioning success rate. Read the Natixis case study.

Queen Mary University London needed two IT suites moved as part of a 12-month, seven-phase campus relocation covering 180 staff. The term started on schedule, with zero delay to teaching. See how the Queen Mary relocation was managed.

At the University of Southampton Business School, 210 staff and 1,100 crates were moved in a single seven-day project, working around restricted access and two unreliable lifts in an older building. The result: zero disruption to university activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every device is tagged, audited and tracked from decommissioning through to recommissioning, and equipment travels in secure, lined cases on our own vehicles. Our team is DBS-checked and professionally trained in-house. Chain of custody is maintained throughout, so you always know who has had access to your equipment and when.

It depends on scope, but our Natixis and Queen Mary projects both ran with zero disruption to business or teaching schedules. We plan every move around your operational hours, including evening and weekend work where downtime isn’t an option.

Both. Desk moves and cabling are handled as part of a standard office relocation; full server and data centre relocations, including rack removal and reconnection, are handled by our dedicated IT relocation specialists.

The scoping visit is the first step, and it’s worth starting that conversation early on any project involving live systems or a data centre, so there’s time to plan around your operational calendar rather than working around our availability.

Retired equipment and furniture go through the same process as our wider office clearance service: resale where possible, donation to charity partners if not, and material recycling as a last resort before anything goes to landfill. We’re registered with the Environment Agency as a Waste Carrier, Broker & Dealer, and currently achieve a 98% recycling rate across everything we clear.

Yes. Many projects run with our specialists managing the physical relocation while your IT team keeps control of network configuration and testing on the other side.
