Office Moving Company Dublin | Business Relocations 2026
Looking for an experienced office moving company Dublin businesses can rely on?
Moving an office requires considerably more planning than simply transporting desks and chairs. Computers, servers, files, office furniture, meeting rooms, archives and valuable business equipment all need to arrive at the correct location in an organised way.
Get Cracking Relocations & Storage provides professional office removals and relocations in Dublin, helping businesses plan moves around their working hours, building access and operational requirements.
Whether you are moving a small office across Dublin or relocating a larger business to new premises, careful planning can help minimise disruption and get your team working again as quickly as possible.

Office Moving Company Dublin – Planning Your Relocation
Choosing an office moving company in Dublin should involve more than comparing the cost of a vehicle and a moving crew.
A professional office relocation should consider the complete move from preparation at the existing premises through to positioning furniture and equipment at the new office.
Before moving day, important details can include:
- Number of employees and workstations
- Volume of office furniture
- Computers and IT equipment
- Servers and specialist equipment
- Files and archives
- Packing requirements
- Moving crate requirements
- Furniture dismantling and reassembly
- Lift and loading-bay access
- Parking restrictions
- Security procedures
- Building-management requirements
- Storage requirements
- Preferred moving dates and times
The more information available in advance, the easier it is to organise the appropriate crew, vehicles, crates, equipment and schedule.
If you are starting to organise your relocation, see our guide on how to plan an office move in Dublin.
Create an Office Moving Plan
Planning should begin before the first crate is packed.
Nominate someone within your business to coordinate the relocation and communicate with your moving company.
For larger offices, it can be useful to divide the relocation into departments, rooms or work areas.
A simple floor plan for the new premises can show where:
- Departments will be located
- Individual workstations should go
- Meeting-room furniture belongs
- Storage units should be positioned
- Filing cabinets should be placed
- IT equipment is required
- Kitchen and communal equipment should go
Furniture, equipment and crates can then be labelled according to their final destination.
This reduces confusion at the new office and helps the moving crew place items correctly during delivery.
Office Crate Hire Dublin
Reusable moving crates are one of the most practical ways to organise an office relocation.
Get Cracking provides crate hire in Dublin for office moves, business relocations and storage requirements.
Crates can be delivered before the move so employees have time to pack files, documents, stationery and other office contents.
Reusable crates are particularly useful because they can be stacked efficiently and labelled according to department, employee or destination area.
Depending on the relocation, crates can be used for:
- Office files
- Documents
- Desk contents
- Stationery
- Books
- Computer accessories
- General office equipment
- Archive material
Getting crates into the office before moving day allows packing to happen gradually instead of trying to organise everything at the last minute.
Professional Office Packing
Not every company has the time or staff available to pack an entire office.
Get Cracking provides professional packing services that can form part of an office relocation.
Depending on your requirements, professional packing can include:
- Office contents
- Files
- Books
- Meeting rooms
- Kitchens
- Artwork
- Fragile equipment
- Furniture protection
- Computer equipment
- Specialist items
Clear labelling is particularly important during a commercial move.
A crate labelled only OFFICE provides very little information.
A label such as:
FINANCE – DESK 12 – NEW OFFICE FLOOR 2
makes the destination much clearer for the moving team.
Good labelling can save considerable time during delivery and unpacking.
IT and Computer Moves
Computers and IT equipment are an important part of almost every modern office relocation.
Workstations should be organised so equipment can be identified and returned to the appropriate desk or department at the new premises.
Monitors, computers and related equipment require suitable handling and protection during transport.
For more complex technical moves involving servers or critical infrastructure, additional planning may be required.
Get Cracking also provides specialist data centre and server relocation services for moves requiring a more detailed technical relocation plan.
Server and Data Centre Relocations
A server relocation is very different from moving ordinary office furniture.
Timing can be critical because downtime may affect employees, customers and business systems.
The relocation plan may need to take into account:
- Shutdown schedules
- Building access
- Loading sequence
- Equipment identification
- Specialist protection
- Transport
- Delivery sequence
- Access to the destination server room
- Coordination with your IT team
For critical infrastructure, the physical move should be planned alongside the organisation responsible for disconnecting, configuring and restarting the equipment.
Learn more about Get Cracking server and data centre relocations.
Office Furniture Dismantling and Reassembly
Large office furniture may not always fit through lifts, corridors, staircases or doorways fully assembled.
Suitable furniture can be dismantled before transport and reassembled at the destination where this forms part of the agreed service.
This can include:
- Desks
- Boardroom tables
- Meeting tables
- Shelving
- Workstations
- Suitable storage units
- Other large office furniture
Tell Get Cracking about furniture requiring dismantling when requesting your quotation.
This allows appropriate time, crew and equipment to be included in the moving plan.
Check Access at Both Office Buildings
Access is one of the most important parts of planning an office relocation in Dublin.
Before moving day, check the access arrangements at both buildings.
This can include:
- Loading bays
- Service entrances
- Goods lifts
- Passenger lifts
- Underground car parks
- Height restrictions
- Security barriers
- Parking restrictions
- Carrying distances
- Building opening hours
- Reception procedures
Many commercial buildings require loading bays or service lifts to be booked in advance.
Speak to the building manager at both premises and provide your moving company with the relevant information.
Dublin City Centre Office Moves
Office moves in Dublin city centre can require additional planning.
Restricted parking, busy streets, loading restrictions, pedestrian areas and limited access can all affect the moving schedule.
Where the removal vehicle cannot park immediately beside the building, additional carrying distance may also need to be considered.
Good access information should be provided before the relocation rather than being discovered when the moving team arrives.
Evening and Weekend Office Moves
Many businesses cannot simply close for a full working day while an office relocation takes place.
Depending on availability and the requirements of the move, office relocations can be planned outside normal business hours.
Evening and weekend moves can be particularly useful where reducing operational downtime is a priority.
For example, a business may arrange for:
- Employees to finish work on Friday.
- Final packing to take place.
- The relocation to begin that evening or during the weekend.
- Furniture and equipment to be positioned at the destination.
- Employees to return to the new office afterwards.
The exact schedule will depend on the size of the move, access, building restrictions and the work required.
Minimise Business Downtime
A successful office move is not simply about moving everything as quickly as possible.
The order in which items are moved can be equally important.
Essential departments and equipment may need to be prioritised.
For example, businesses may want:
- IT equipment positioned early
- Reception operational first
- Essential files easily accessible
- Key departments moved together
- Furniture installed before crates arrive
- Non-essential storage items delivered later
A structured sequence helps reduce unnecessary disruption.
Business Storage During an Office Move
There are many situations where everything cannot move directly from one office into another.
The new premises may still be undergoing refurbishment, or a business may be moving in stages.
Get Cracking provides storage services in Dublin that can be incorporated into the relocation plan.
Storage can be useful for:
- Office furniture
- Files and archives
- Equipment
- Excess furniture
- Temporary relocation requirements
- Businesses downsizing
- Phased office moves
- Renovations and refurbishment projects
Short- or longer-term storage requirements should be discussed during the quotation stage so collection, storage and final delivery can be planned together.
Moving Offices in Stages
Larger companies do not necessarily need to relocate every department at the same time.
A phased relocation can sometimes reduce disruption.
For example, one department may move first while another continues working from the existing premises.
A phased move may also be useful where sections of the new building become available at different times.
The best approach depends on the business, the two properties and the operational requirements.
Office Clearance and Unwanted Furniture
Moving office is a good opportunity to decide which furniture and equipment should actually move to the new premises.
There is little value in paying to dismantle, carry, transport and reassemble furniture that the business no longer requires.
Before packing begins, identify items that are:
Moving – required at the new premises.
Going into storage – needed later but not immediately.
Being sold or donated – still usable but no longer required.
Being disposed of – damaged or unwanted.
Where agreed in advance, Get Cracking can assist with appropriate clearance and waste collection requirements.
Licensed Waste Collection
Commercial waste collection should be carried out by an appropriately authorised operator.
Get Cracking holds Waste Collection Permit NWCPO-23-12971-01.
If your office relocation includes unwanted furniture or other items requiring removal, discuss this when requesting your quotation.
Further information about waste collection permits is available from the National Waste Collection Permit Office.
Insurance for Office Removals
Shipments and removals are not automatically insured.
If your business requires insurance cover for the office relocation, please request it from Get Cracking in advance.
For road removals within Ireland and Europe, Get Cracking can arrange Inland insurance cover at an additional cost, subject to the declared value of the goods and the applicable policy terms and conditions.
The customer must provide the required value information and comply with the relevant insurance requirements before cover can apply.
If your office relocation involves overseas transport by sea or air, different Marine Transit insurance arrangements may apply.
Insurance requirements should therefore be discussed with Get Cracking before the move is booked.
Moving Offices Outside Dublin
Get Cracking is not limited to office moves within Dublin.
Businesses can also be relocated between Dublin and other parts of Ireland.
For longer-distance commercial relocations, planning becomes particularly important because travel time must be incorporated into the loading and delivery schedule.
Provide accurate access information for both the Dublin property and the destination premises.
International Business Relocations
Businesses relocating internationally can require additional services beyond a standard Dublin office move.
Depending on the destination, this may involve:
- Professional export packing
- Inventories
- Road transport
- Sea freight
- Airfreight
- Storage
- Customs documentation
- Overseas delivery coordination
For international requirements, see Get Cracking Worldwide Relocations.
