Warehouse Shifting, Storage and Heavy Item Moving

Alongside household and office work we handle warehouse relocation, storage-related shifting, and heavy item and equipment moving. These jobs turn on access, weight and sequencing rather than volume, so we look at the site before quoting.

Planning a warehouse move without stopping work

Very few businesses can close a warehouse for a week, so most of these moves happen around continuing operations.

ApproachHow it worksSuits
Zone by zoneOne section moves while the rest keeps operatingSites with distinct areas
Slow-moving stock firstRarely picked goods travel earlyOperations that must stay live
Full shutdownEverything moves in one planned blockShort closures, quieter periods

What we need from you

  • A view of what is picked often and what is not, because that decides the order.
  • Access details at both sites: bay, shutter, ramp, lift, and the hours each is available.
  • Whether anything is serial-numbered or has to be reconciled on arrival.
  • Who is authorised to make decisions on the day at each end.

Receiving site first

It is worth walking the receiving site before the origin. A warehouse that cannot take the goods in the order they arrive turns a one-day move into a two-day one, and that is discoverable in advance.

Why these jobs are quoted after a site visit

Warehouse and heavy item work turns on access and sequencing rather than volume, and none of that is visible in a description or a photograph.

What we look at on site: how an item comes out of where it currently stands, the route from there to the vehicle, floor levels and any change in them, door and corridor widths, whether a lift exists and what it will actually take, and what is waiting at the receiving end.

A heavy object with a straight path and a wide door is a simpler job than a lighter one at the top of a turning staircase. That is why weight alone is a poor guide to what a job costs, and why we would rather see it than quote blind and revise the figure once the crew arrives.

Warehouse and godown relocation

A warehouse move is a sequencing problem.

  • What comes out first and what must stay usable longest, so operations continue as far as possible.
  • How goods leave the unit: loading bay, shutter, ramp, or a carry to the vehicle.
  • What the receiving site can physically accept, including its access hours and floor loading.
  • The order goods arrive in, because a warehouse filled in the wrong order has to be handled twice.

Stock and stored goods are moved in a countable sequence rather than as one undifferentiated load, so you can reconcile at the far end. Where records or serial-numbered items are involved, they are listed rather than stacked.

Heavy items and equipment

This covers anything beyond a standard crew: a safe, a large appliance, gym equipment, machinery items, or a single piece that simply will not go through a door assembled.

The questions are the same every time

  1. What does it weigh, roughly?
  2. How does it come out of where it currently sits?
  3. What does the route to the vehicle look like?
  4. What is waiting at the other end?

Crating

Genuinely heavy or awkward items are crated in timber rather than wrapped. A crate spreads load, protects edges and gives something to grip and brace against. Crates are built to the item, on site where that is the practical option.

What we do not do

We do not install, commission or calibrate equipment, and we do not carry out dismantling that requires a specialist engineer. Statutory permissions for oversized loads are not arranged unless agreed in advance. If a job needs any of that, it is better established now than on the morning.

Storage between two dates

Storage-related shifting comes up whenever the two ends of a move do not meet in time: possession delayed, renovation overrunning, or a gap between one lease ending and the next beginning.

Two answers decide what is practical, and they matter more than how much there is:

  • How long, roughly.
  • How often you need access in the meantime.

Goods going into storage are packed differently from goods going straight into a new home. They are protected for stationary time as well as travel, and cartons are numbered and listed so an item can be located without opening everything.

If your dates are uncertain, raise it at the enquiry rather than the week before. It is far easier to plan for than to solve late. For the household side of the same move, see house shifting.

What affects the cost

We do not publish a fixed price, because the same job costs different amounts depending on the details below. Looking at the job first is what turns a guess into a figure that holds.

  • Access at both sites: door widths, floor levels, lifts and loading bays
  • How an item leaves its current position and the route to the vehicle
  • Weight and dimensions of the heaviest items
  • Whether crating or additional protection is required
  • Crew size the job genuinely needs to be done safely
  • Sequencing, and whether operations must continue during the move
  • Vehicle type and the number of trips access allows
  • For storage, duration and how often you need access

What to tell us for a quote

Have these ready and we can usually give you a realistic figure without a second call.

  1. What is moving: warehouse stock, a single heavy item, or both
  2. Both site addresses, with access details for each
  3. Dimensions and approximate weight of the largest items
  4. Whether a lift or loading bay is available, and what it takes
  5. Whether operations must continue while the move happens
  6. For storage, the likely duration and access you need

Warehouse Shifting, Storage and Heavy Item Moving: common questions

Do you assess the site before quoting?

For warehouse and heavy item work, yes. Access, floor levels and the route an item takes to reach the vehicle decide the plan, and none of that is visible in a description.

Can you crate heavy or awkward items?

Yes. Timber crates are built to the item, on site where that is practical. A crate spreads load, protects edges and gives something to grip and brace against.

Can you store goods between two dates?

Storage-related shifting is part of what we do. Duration and how often you need access decide what is practical, so tell us both when you enquire.

Do you install or commission equipment?

No. We move, place and position it. Installation, commissioning, calibration and any dismantling needing a specialist engineer are not part of the service.

What counts as a heavy item?

Anything too heavy or awkward for a standard crew, from a single safe or a large commercial appliance up to equipment and machinery items. Tell us what it is and we will tell you what the job needs.

Do you assess the site first?

For warehouse and heavy item work, yes. Access, floor levels and how the item comes out matter more than how much there is, so we look before quoting.

Can you store goods between moves?

Storage-related shifting is part of what we do. Talk to us about duration and access so we can tell you what is workable for your situation.
