IT relocation in London

Most IT relocation in London happens overnight or at a weekend, because that's when the building will let you power down. In November 2025 four of us moved 100U overnight from Docklands to Berkshire. Servers, comms rooms and IT equipment go with our own crews and vehicles, from Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire, to the City, Docklands, Heathrow and West London.

Where we work in London

These are the areas we've worked in:

  • The City and the financial district
  • Docklands and Canary Wharf
  • East London
  • Heathrow, West London and Slough
  • Berkshire and Surrey, which is usually the other end of a London data centre move

We run London jobs from our head office and warehouse in Fleet, with our own crews and vehicles. We don't have a London depot.

If your site isn't on the list, ask. We also work across the rest of the UK and Europe.

Weekend and overnight server room moves in London

Most London server moves happen at night or at a weekend, because that's when the building will let you power down. The data centre gives you a window, the loading bay is booked, and everything has to be racked and working before Monday morning.

We plan around that window. A Friday night or Saturday morning start is normal for us. The audit and labelling happen in the days before, so on the night it's just de-rack, pack, drive and re-rack.

We don't publish an out-of-hours price list, because the cost depends on the racks, the access and the window. Our cost guide covers what changes it.

Recent London jobs

Short lines from London jobs we've done recently:

  • November 2025Four of us ran a 100U overnight migration from a Docklands data centre to one in Berkshire. We de-racked, packed into anti-static foam lined flight cases, drove it on air suspension trucks and re-racked.
  • May 2023For a European client, 184 servers came in, were de-boxed and palletised with the rails split, then installed across two London data centres. We dealt with the packaging waste too.
  • July 2022A Saturday out-of-hours job for a network operator, adding two racks to their network in a London data centre, with cover arranged at £1.5m.
  • April 2021The first weekend of a multi-phase project: 42U of servers de-racked, packed, moved and re-racked between London and Berkshire data centres.

Getting a rack into a London building

Ask about the loading bay slot, the permit and the lift size first. They decide the timetable more than anything else.

If a truck can't get in, our Renault Master low loaders can. They have 2.5 m of loading clearance and carry 47U racks. A Renault Trafic fits a 2.0 m car park. For stairs, we have server lifts and a PowerMate M-1 stair climber, which has taken a fully populated rack to the 10th floor.

Nights and weekends are normal for us, subject to the building's rules. We'll write RAMS for the buildings involved if you ask, and there's a free Server Move RAMS Template to start from.

London IT relocation questions

We can. We're based in Fleet, Hampshire, with our own crews and vehicles, and a Friday night or Saturday start is routine.

We plan around your building's power-down window and loading bay slot. Tell us the racks, the two sites and the weekend, and we'll tell you what it needs.

No. Our only address is Unit 4 Quantum Business Park, Beacon Hill Road, Church Crookham, Fleet GU52 8EA. London jobs run from there.

The City, Docklands and Canary Wharf, East London, Heathrow, West London and Slough, with Berkshire and Surrey at the other end. Anywhere else, just ask.

There isn't a standard price. It depends on the number of racks, the floors and lifts at each end, the time window and the distance. The cost guide explains each one, and we quote once we've seen your rack list.

Yes. We arrange cover for each job to the value of your equipment, up to £0.5m without referral. Public liability is no less than £2 million.

A whole rack, where the building allows it. Our low loaders carry 47U racks.

If the rack has to be stripped first, we de-rack into shock mount flight cases and re-rack at the other end. See server relocation.
