Moving a Desk in Watford

Most desks come apart, and most are easier moved in pieces. The exception is the standing desk, which is lighter than it looks at the top and much heavier at the frame, with motors and cables that need to be kept together if it is going to work at the other end.

Typical ranges, not manufacturer figures. Measure yours if it is going to be close, and check it against the door and stair measurements.

Will it fit?

Will a corner desk fit through a door?

Not built. Corner desks come apart into two sections or separate panels, and each goes through a standard door easily.

How we move it

  1. Take the top off the frame and bag the fixings
  2. Keep standing desk motors, controls and cables together
  3. Wrap the top and carry it on its edge
  4. Reassemble in the new room

Before we arrive

  • Clear the desk and drawers
  • Unplug and bag the cables, labelled by device
  • Lower a standing desk to its lowest setting

Moving a whole home office

A home office is a desk, a chair, a screen or two, a printer and a filing drawer. It is a small move in its own right, and it is worth booking alongside a house move so it is set up first rather than dug out of the last box.

Moving a desk: questions

Can you move an electric standing desk?+

Yes. The top comes off the frame and the motors and cables are kept together so it works at the other end.

Do you set it back up?+

We rebuild the desk in the room you want. Plugging in and setting up the computer is up to you.
