IT is the part of any office move that carries the most risk and the least tolerance for error. Our IT relocation services in London manage the physical move, setup and integration of your technology, from desktop environments to server rooms and complex infrastructure, so systems are relocated safely and come back online with minimal downtime. We deliver IT relocation as part of a wider office move or as a standalone IT project, and we handle everything from a handful of workstations to regulated, business-critical environments and specialist IT equipment relocation.
What our IT relocation services cover
- Desktop and workstation relocation
- Server and comms room moves
- Specialist IT packing and transport
- System installation and reconfiguration
- Structured cabling, power and infrastructure changes
- Secure disposal of redundant IT under WEEE
It suits office relocations and refurbishments, server room and data infrastructure moves, businesses that cannot afford downtime, and organisations with complex or regulated IT environments.
IT audit and asset tagging
A controlled IT move starts with knowing exactly what you have. We work with your IT team to audit every asset, servers, switches, workstations, screens, phones and peripherals, and record how each connects. Assets are tagged and logged, so every item is tracked from the old site to the new one and nothing is unaccounted for. That inventory becomes the plan: it decides what moves, what is upgraded, what is retired, and in what order everything comes down and back up.
Server and comms room moves
The server and comms room is the highest-stakes part of the move, because everything else depends on it. It is handled as a specialist operation: a clean, planned shutdown, careful handling of racks and equipment, and a reconnection sequence that brings the core back up in the right order before the rest of the office reconnects. For the detail, see our server relocation service, which manages server and comms-room moves as part of the wider IT relocation.
Decommission and recommission
Every device is decommissioned properly rather than simply unplugged: shut down cleanly, labelled against the asset log, disconnected and prepared for transport. At the new site it is recommissioned in a planned sequence, so the network and core services come back first and workstations follow. Doing this to a sequence, rather than reconnecting at random, is what turns a room full of boxes into a working office.
Data security and chain of custody
Moving IT means moving data, and that has to be managed. We confirm that current backups exist before anything is switched off, so there is a fallback if hardware is damaged in transit. Data-bearing equipment is handled securely and kept accounted for at every step, maintaining a chain of custody from the old site to the new. Where equipment is being retired rather than moved, data is securely destroyed before disposal, with certificates of destruction where required, so nothing sensitive leaves uncontrolled. The whole move is coordinated with your IT and security teams so responsibility is never in doubt.
Out-of-hours cutover
For most businesses the cleanest way to move IT is outside working hours. An evening, overnight or weekend cutover means the network is moved and brought back up while no one is trying to use it, and there is time to test before the office opens. We plan the cutover windows with your team so switch-off and switch-on happen when they cause the least disruption, and staff arrive to working systems rather than a work in progress.
Workstation moves
Desktops, monitors, docks and peripherals are decommissioned, labelled and moved with the same care as the core kit, then reconnected at each user's position against the floor plan. Because everything is tagged and mapped to the layout, people find their equipment set up where it should be, rather than hunting for a missing screen on their first morning back.
Structured cabling, power and infrastructure
A relocation is often the moment to get the infrastructure right, not just move the boxes. Alongside the IT move, we support changes and upgrades to your environment, including:
- Under-floor and structured cabling
- Fibre optic installation
- Floor box relocation and power management
- Wireless and desk cable management
- Infrastructure changes during refurbishments or expansions
Getting the cabling, network points and power right at the new site, before the equipment arrives, is one of the simplest ways to avoid a move that stalls the moment the first workstation is plugged in.
Testing and sign-off
The move is not finished when the last cable is connected, it is finished when it is confirmed working. Connections, workstations, phones and core services are tested against the plan before handover, and any snags are resolved before staff return. A clear sign-off closes the project, so you know the environment is live and working, not assumed to be.
Disposal of redundant IT under WEEE
Old equipment that is not making the move still has to be dealt with properly. Redundant IT is recycled under the WEEE regulations rather than sent to general waste, with any data securely destroyed first. We handle this through our clearance and WEEE recycling, so retired kit leaves the site compliantly and with documentation.
