IT Office Moves in Salford
Relocating your office is disruptive enough without your network, phones and servers going down halfway through. We plan and run the IT side of your move - audit, network design, hardware relocation, VoIP cutover and go-live support - so your team is working again as quickly as possible.
Planned From Day One
We start with a full audit of your current setup and the new site, so cabling, connectivity and hardware are ready before moving day, not figured out on the day itself.
Coordinated Cutover
Phones, network and servers move in a sequence agreed with you in advance, timed around your working hours and any production or client-facing schedules.
Fixed Quote, No Surprises
Every office move is quoted after a free consultation and scoped against your new premises - no hourly billing, no scope creep once the quote is agreed.
IT office moves for growing Salford businesses
Moving premises means moving everything that keeps your business running online - internet connectivity, phone and VoIP systems, servers, Wi-Fi, printers and every device your team relies on day to day. We handle the IT side of office relocations for businesses in Salford, from a single studio move around MediaCityUK to a full office relocation elsewhere in the city. Every move starts with a free consultation and a fixed quote, so you know the cost before we start, and every project is delivered remotely wherever possible with on-site visits to your current and new premises where hands-on work is genuinely needed.
IT Office Moves in Salford
Salford has been transformed by the MediaCityUK development at Salford Quays, which houses the BBC, ITV Studios and a thriving cluster of digital and creative enterprises. The city sits adjacent to Manchester city centre and benefits from the broader Greater Manchester economy while offering more competitive commercial rents, which is drawing a steady stream of media, technology and professional services businesses to relocate or expand into the area. Salford's enterprise zones and university partnerships make it one of the North West's most dynamic locations for media, technology and creative businesses, and that growth means office moves are a regular fact of business life here.
Why Office Moves Need Specialist IT Planning
An office move only goes smoothly if the technology is ready before your team arrives. Internet connectivity needs to be live at the new site, the network needs to be designed and cabled correctly, phone numbers need to port across without a gap in service, and every workstation, server and piece of shared equipment needs to be relocated, reconnected and tested. Get the sequencing wrong and you lose days of productivity; get it right and most staff barely notice the switch.
Built Around Salford's Media and Creative Economy
A large share of the businesses operating around Salford Quays and MediaCityUK work in media, broadcasting and digital production, alongside a wider base of technology, professional services, education and healthcare organisations across the city. Moves involving broadcast or production equipment, multiple video feeds or high-bandwidth editing workflows need a network design that accounts for that load from day one, and a cutover timed around production schedules rather than a generic weekend move. We scope every move around what your business actually runs, not a standard office template.
Our approach to IT office moves
Audit-Led Planning
Before we quote, we audit your current IT setup and the new premises - existing hardware, cabling, connectivity options and any equipment with special requirements - so the fixed quote we provide reflects the move you're actually doing, not a generic estimate.
Coordinated Cutover Timing
We agree a move sequence with you in advance, covering when the new site's connectivity goes live, when phones and VoIP cut over, and when hardware physically relocates, so downtime is minimised and planned around your working pattern rather than left to chance.
How it works
From first conversation to go-live - our process keeps an office move simple and predictable.
1
Audit & Consultation
We review your current IT setup and assess the new site, then provide a fixed quote for the full scope of the move.
2
Network & Cabling Design
We design the network, connectivity and cabling layout for the new premises, so it's ready to receive your hardware.
3
Move & Cutover
Hardware, phones and servers are relocated and cut over according to the agreed schedule, with connectivity and VoIP switched at the right moment.
4
Testing & Go-Live Support
Every system is tested at the new site before we hand back, with support on hand on go-live day itself.
Salford businesses turn to us when
Their lease is ending and they need the new office's network and connectivity ready before the old one is switched off
They can't get a clear answer from their current provider on what an office move will actually cost
They want one fixed quote for the whole move rather than separate invoices from a cabling contractor, an ISP and an IT support company
Downtime during the move would disrupt production schedules, client deadlines or patient and student services
They're moving specialist equipment - broadcast, editing or lab equipment - alongside standard office IT
They need phone numbers and VoIP extensions to carry over without a gap in service
Nobody has audited what's actually being moved, so hardware risks being disconnected on moving day with no plan for reconnecting it
They're expanding into a bigger site and need the new office's network designed from scratch rather than patched together
They don't have in-house IT resource to manage a move alongside everything else the relocation involves
Why choose Cloudswitched for your Salford office move?
We handle the IT side of office relocations from a single fixed quote agreed after a free consultation - no hourly billing part-way through, and no separate contractors to manage between cabling, connectivity and hardware relocation.
Every move starts with an audit of your current setup and the new premises, so the network and cabling design at the new site is right first time rather than reworked after the fact.
We're a City of London-based IT services and digital agency working with SMEs across the UK, delivering remotely wherever possible with on-site visits to your current and new premises where hands-on work is genuinely needed.
Phone and VoIP cutover is planned and tested in advance, so your team can make and receive calls at the new site without a gap in service.
We provide go-live support on moving day itself, so if something needs attention once your team is back online, we're there to deal with it.
Why Cloudswitched for your office move?
Moving your IT is a one-off project with no room for a second attempt on moving day. Here's what sets our approach apart.
Planned before moving day
Every move is scoped through a free consultation and site audit before we quote, so cabling, connectivity and hardware relocation are planned in advance rather than worked out as problems appear on the day.
Fixed quote, agreed upfront
You receive a single fixed quote for the full scope of the move after the consultation, covering network design, cabling, hardware relocation and VoIP cutover, with no hourly billing once the quote is agreed.
Network design built for your business
We design the network and cabling at the new site around what your business actually runs, including higher-bandwidth or AV-heavy setups, rather than a generic office template.
Remote-first, on-site where it counts
Most planning, coordination and testing is handled remotely, with on-site visits to your current and new premises where hands-on work - cabling, hardware relocation, physical testing - is genuinely needed.
Dedicated point of contact
You'll have a named contact managing your move from consultation through to go-live, so you're not repeating the brief to a different person at every stage.
Cutover timed around your business
Phone, VoIP and network cutover is scheduled around your working pattern and any production, client or service deadlines, not a fixed slot that happens to suit us.
Data handled securely throughout
Servers, devices and any data in transit during the move are handled with the same security practices as our ongoing IT support, from disconnection through to reconnection at the new site.
Tested before we hand back
We test connectivity, phones and hardware at the new site before considering the move complete, so issues are caught before your team relies on the system.
No vendor lock-in
We work with the hardware and providers you already have wherever practical, and design around open, standard infrastructure rather than tying you to a particular vendor.
Technology Infrastructure for IT Office Moves in Salford
Businesses relocating around Salford, including those near Salford Quays and MediaCityUK, depend on connectivity and network infrastructure being ready before the move happens, not arranged afterwards. The area's concentration of media, broadcast and digital businesses means new premises often need higher-bandwidth connections and a network designed for video, editing or broadcast workloads alongside standard office use. Getting the network, cabling and connectivity right at the new site before moving day is what keeps a relocation from turning into extended downtime.
About Salford
Salford has been transformed by the MediaCityUK development at Salford Quays, which houses the BBC, ITV Studios and a thriving cluster of digital and creative enterprises. The Lowry, the arts and entertainment venue, sits alongside the broadcasters and production companies based at Salford Quays. The city sits adjacent to Manchester city centre and benefits from the broader Greater Manchester economy while offering more competitive commercial rents than its neighbour, which is part of what continues to draw media, technology and creative businesses to relocate into the area.
A growing business base: Salford's enterprise zones and university partnerships make it one of the North West's most dynamic locations for media, technology and creative businesses, alongside an established base of professional services, education and healthcare organisations across the wider city. That mix means office moves in Salford range from small creative studios relocating around Salford Quays to larger professional services or healthcare organisations moving between sites across the city.
Getting here: Salford is well connected from London - around 2 hours 10 minutes by train from London Euston to Manchester, then a further 10 minutes by tram to MediaCityUK. Most of the planning, design and coordination for a move is handled remotely, with on-site visits to your current and new premises timed around the parts of the move - cabling, hardware relocation, physical testing - that genuinely need someone on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about your office move? We've answered the most common ones below. If you need more detail, get in touch.
How far in advance should we start planning our office move?
As soon as you have a moving date or are close to agreeing one. Starting early gives us time for a proper audit of your current setup and the new premises, and enough lead time to design the network, arrange cabling and schedule the cutover around your business rather than rushing it.
Will our phones and internet be live on day one at the new site?
We plan connectivity and phone/VoIP cutover as part of the move sequence agreed with you in advance, aiming for the new site to be ready before hardware arrives so there's no gap between packing up the old office and being reachable at the new one.
Do you design and install the network and cabling at the new premises?
Yes. We assess the new site as part of the audit and design the network and cabling layout for it, sized to your current team, equipment and any higher-bandwidth requirements, before hardware relocation begins.
Can the move happen outside our normal working hours?
Yes, cutover timing is agreed with you as part of the planning process and scheduled around your working pattern and any deadlines or production schedules, rather than a fixed slot that happens to suit us.
What happens to our existing hardware and equipment during the move?
Workstations, servers, networking equipment, printers and any specialist devices are disconnected, transported and reconnected at the new site as part of the planned move, then tested before we hand back to your team.
How much does an IT office move cost?
Every move is quoted after a free consultation and site audit, because the cost depends on the size of the move, the new premises and any specialist equipment involved. You receive one fixed quote covering the full scope, agreed before work starts.
Do you work with our landlord or building management on cabling and access?
Where cabling or access at the new premises needs coordinating with a landlord or building management, we work alongside them as part of the planning process, so the physical work at the new site can happen on schedule.
Do you handle office moves outside London?
Yes. We're a City of London-based IT services and digital agency working with SMEs across the UK, including Salford, delivering the planning and coordination remotely with on-site visits to the current and new premises where hands-on work is needed.
