What Our School Relocation Service Includes

Every school move begins with a site survey and written move plan. We work around your academic calendar and can schedule moves during holidays, weekends or out-of-hours to minimise disruption to staff and pupils.

  • Fully insured up to £100,000 with no extra cost
  • Classroom furniture dismantled and reassembled
  • Full or partial packing services by trained team, all materials supplied
  • Specialist handling of IT suites, science lab equipment and AV systems
  • Safe transportation of heavy equipment and specialist furniture
  • Crate hire available for internal department moves
  • Secure disposal of unwanted documents
  • Flexible short and long-term storage at our Ashford warehouse
  • UK-wide and European school relocations from Ashford

Planning and Project Management

Relocating a school or educational facility requires detailed coordination between the removals team, site management and teaching staff. Our team carries out a full site survey before the move, produces a detailed schedule and assigns a move coordinator as your single point of contact throughout.

Move phasing, room-by-room labelling and box tracking are all built into the plan so that every item arrives in the right location and is ready for use at the start of the new term. For larger multi-phase school moves, we can stage the relocation across several days or weekends to keep the project on track without overrunning term time.

For schools that also need office relocation support for administration or business premises, our commercial removals team covers this as part of the same project.
