Office guide ยท Cape Town

Office removals without the downtime.

Offices, retail, and warehouses run on different rules to a home move. Here's how we keep the business running while the furniture moves.

The short version

Office moves are scheduled around your operating hours, usually a Saturday or after hours, so there's no lost business day. Every desk is dismantled with our bagging and marking system so every screw and bracket goes back to the exact desk it came from. We handle offices, retail, and warehouse relocations, project-managed start to finish on bigger jobs.

A home move and an office move are solving different problems. At home, the goal is getting your life set up again with the least stress. At work, the goal is that Monday morning looks like nothing happened. Here's how a commercial move is actually run, so you know what to ask for and what to expect.

Why an office move is a different job

Volume and access still matter, same as a home move, but two things change the plan: the business cannot stop for long, and the furniture has to go back together the same way it came apart. That means scheduling and labelling matter more than almost anything else.

Scheduled around your business, not ours

Most office, retail, and warehouse moves happen on a Saturday or after hours, planned around your operating hours so trading or work continues uninterrupted during the week. Tell us your hours and any hard deadlines (a lease handover date, a Monday go-live) when you request a quote, and the move gets built around them.

The desk bagging-and-marking system

Workstations and desks get dismantled for the move, and that is normally where things go missing or get mismatched at the other end. We bag, label, and track every screw, bracket, and fitting from each desk so it's reassembled at the new office exactly as it left the old one. No hunting for the right leg bolts on Monday morning.

Retail and warehouse relocations

The same crew and fleet used for home removals handle retail stores and warehouses. Stock, shelving, and equipment are treated with the same care as furniture, and bigger jobs are project-managed start to finish rather than left to figure out on the day.

What to prepare on your side. Clear desks and cabinets of loose and personal items before we arrive, back up anything IT-critical before machines are disconnected, and label departments or zones so furniture lands in the right spot at the new office. See our full services page for what's included on commercial jobs.

Frequently asked questions

Can an office move happen over a weekend so we don't lose a business day? +
Yes. Most office and retail moves are scheduled for a Saturday or after hours specifically to avoid downtime during the working week. Tell us your operating hours when you request a quote and we plan the move around them.
How do you keep desks and workstations organised during an office move? +
We use a bagging and marking system. Every screw, bracket, and fitting from a dismantled desk or workstation is bagged, labelled, and returned to the exact desk it came from, so reassembly at the new office matches the layout you left.
Do you handle retail and warehouse relocations, or only office moves? +
We move offices, retail stores, and warehouses. Bigger jobs are project-managed start to finish, and the same crew and truck fleet used for home removals is used for commercial work, so nothing is sub-contracted out.
What should we prepare before an office move? +
Clear desks and cabinets of loose items and personal belongings, back up anything IT-critical before electronics are disconnected, label departments or zones so furniture lands in the right spot at the new office, and confirm lift bookings, loading bay access, and parking at both buildings ahead of time.
