Furniture removals
The first stage of each office furniture removal begins with carrying out labelling. This can be effected by the client or our move management team, as applicable. All desks, chairs, filing cabinets, pedestals and reception furniture should be labelled with unique location identification in correlation with the space plan. Next the client together with one of the movers can carry out the pre-move damage audit. All furniture with a defect should be photographed. You can also leave a short note on the label. The next thing is to protect all areas in the building.
The following means can be applied:
- Use Correx on walls, doorways and lifts
- Use Hardboard on floors including lifts
- Ensure that Correx and boarding are taped together to avoid movement
- Lo- tac tape utilised on walls/lift interiors to avoid residual damage upon removal

The porters are to remove the protection and all rubbish. The labels can be left on the office equipment for another week, just in case of any unexpected or additional changes.
Office Furniture Product Audit prior the move
Two key activities of carrying out your office removals are the on-site auditing of your current system furniture layout and the Audit Analysis showing the shortfall and excess of items against the requirement at the new sites. This process is also good to establish if there are any unwanted office furniture. You can simply dispose it off or do it the green way - recycle it. Of course we can advise you on the best office clearance solutions.
The first stage is the on-site auditing of components at your existing location. This is carried out by two auditors who assess the entire product inventory and complete a Product Audit Form. Two auditors are required in order to ensure complete accuracy of the product count.
One of our office relocation managers then completes a separate product audit, known as a ‘take off' from the floor plans of the new site and compares this with the product audit from the old site. The final analysis shows shortfall and excesses for each component and this is recorded on the Product Audit Form. The final result is then brought to your attention and exact product requirements are established.

Before the office furniture removal begin it is important to know the precise move sequence, department by department or floor by floor. This then allows the auditors to prepare separate product audits for each individual area. This is important because, although all of the required components may exist in total, certain areas will move ahead of others and have a need for additional components much earlier in the move programme. These components cannot be taken from office desks, filing cabinets or other business storage units that are still assembled and being used and so components may need to be brought from store to cover an immediate need. Product Audits of specific areas will highlight this before the furniture move commences.
At the end of the move programme, an excess of products is likely to exist and an inventory of these will be presented to you and they can then make a final decision on what happens to those excess items.
