When you think of an office move, it’s easy to picture desks, chairs, and IT equipment being loaded into vans. But for many organisations, the most valuable items aren’t the biggest or heaviest, they’re the archives.
Archives can hold everything from vital business records and legal documents to historical collections and research materials. They’re often irreplaceable, and keeping them organised, secure, and accessible during a move is essential. That’s why archive relocations need a specialist approach.
At Commercial Moves Group, based in Aberdeen and working across the UK, we’ve built a service designed to take the stress out of moving archives. Here’s how we make it work.
1. Keeping Everything in Order
Nothing causes more headaches than files out of sequence. Before a move, we carefully plan how archives will be packed, transported, and reinstalled so they stay in their original order. That means when your team needs to access a file after the move, it’s exactly where it should be.
2. Secure Handling for Sensitive Records
Archives often contain confidential information. We use secure, lockable crates and follow strict handling processes to ensure everything remains private throughout the move. Whether it’s HR records, medical files, or legal documents, we treat every item with the care it deserves.
3. Storage Options for Flexibility
Not everything needs to go back on the shelves right away. If you’re short on space, or simply don’t need all your files immediately, we can provide secure offsite storage, whether for a few weeks or long term. When you’re ready, we’ll deliver them back, safe and sound.
4. Reinstallation in Your New Space
An archive is only useful if it’s easy to access. That’s why we don’t just deliver your crates — we reinstall everything in your new office or facility, ready for use. From shelving to specialist racking, we make sure your archives are set up properly so your team can get back to work without delay.
Why Choose a Specialist?
Moving archives isn’t like shifting furniture. It requires planning, organisation, and attention to detail that comes from experience. By working with a professional partner like Commercial Moves Group, you can be confident your archives will be:
· Organised
· Secure
· Accessible from day one in your new location
