— Cost Drivers

What affects the cost of
office IT relocation?

High Impact

Number of users

More users = more workstations, more cabling drops, more device setup time.

High Impact

Server infrastructure

Server moves require specialist handling, climate-controlled transport, and extended testing time.

High Impact

Connectivity type

Leased lines cost more to provision than broadband and have 30–90 day lead times that affect planning.

Medium Impact

Cabling scope

Full structured cabling at new premises (Cat6/Cat6a, fibre backbone) vs. using existing infrastructure.

Medium Impact

Distance of move

Within the same city vs. cross-country relocation affects transport and engineer travel costs.

Low–Medium Impact

Weekend/out-of-hours

Most IT relocations are scheduled out of hours — this is standard practice, not usually a surcharge.

Low–Medium Impact

ITAD requirements

Volume of redundant equipment to be disposed of with certified data destruction.

Low–Medium Impact

Security & compliance

Firewall setup, Wi-Fi security, VPN configuration, and access control at the new site.

— Hidden Costs to Watch Out For

Hidden costs in
office IT relocation

Connectivity ordered too late
Leased lines take 30–90 days to provision. If ordered after signing a lease, you may move into new premises with no internet — forcing expensive emergency 4G/5G solutions or delaying your move date.
Post-fit-out cabling
Structured cabling must be installed before furniture and partitioning goes in. Post-fit-out cabling is 3–4x more expensive and often requires floors and walls to be disturbed. This is the most common avoidable cost in office IT relocation.
Incomplete ITAD
Leaving data on redundant equipment at the old premises creates GDPR liability. Certified data destruction documentation is legally required. ITAD done properly isn't expensive — GDPR fines are.
Emergency engineer callouts
Poor planning leads to systems that aren't tested properly before moving day, requiring emergency engineer visits that are charged at premium rates.
— Why Fixed Pricing Matters

Why Coreitech uses
fixed-price quotes

Most IT relocation companies work on day rates or time-and-materials. This means you don't know the final cost until the work is done — and overruns are common.

Coreitech conducts a thorough free site assessment at your current and new premises before providing a proposal. We identify every scope item, every risk, and every dependency — then provide a fixed price that covers everything.

If we underestimate the scope, that's our problem, not yours. The fixed price agreed is the price charged.

What's Always Included
Free pre-move site assessment
Connectivity ordering & coordination
4G/5G backup on moving day
Post-move systems health check
NCSC-certified ITAD documentation

Office IT relocation cost —
questions answered

Q.How much does an office IT relocation cost in the UK?

Office IT relocation costs in the UK typically range from £2,000 for a small office move (under 20 users) up to £25,000+ for larger relocations involving server infrastructure and structured cabling. The main cost drivers are the number of users, whether servers need relocating, the type of connectivity required (leased line vs broadband), and the scope of cabling work needed at the new premises. Coreitech provides fixed-price quotes following a free site assessment.

Q.Is there a cheaper way to do an office IT relocation?

Cutting corners on office IT relocation often costs more in the long run. The biggest hidden costs come from: moving into new premises with no internet (because connectivity wasn't ordered in time), paying for rushed or post-fit-out cabling (significantly more expensive than pre-fit-out), and business downtime if the move goes wrong. The cheapest approach is to plan early and use a specialist who can coordinate all elements under one contract.

Q.What's included in a fixed-price IT relocation quote?

Coreitech's fixed-price quotes include everything agreed during the pre-move site assessment — connectivity ordering, structured cabling (if needed), server and workstation relocation, configuration and testing at the new site, 4G/5G backup connectivity on moving day, and ITAD for redundant equipment. There are no hidden charges or day-rate overruns. The price agreed is the price charged.

Q.How do you price IT relocation services?

We conduct a free site assessment at your current and new premises, agree the full scope of work, and provide a fixed-price proposal. We do not work on day rates or time-and-materials — every engagement is fixed price, so you know your budget before we start.

Q.Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of?

The main hidden cost risks in IT relocation are connectivity lead times (leased lines ordered too late, causing delays or emergency 4G costs), post-fit-out cabling (significantly more expensive than cabling installed before furniture), and incomplete ITAD (regulatory fines for data left on old equipment). Coreitech's process is designed to eliminate all of these risk factors.

Q.What is the cost of moving an office server room in London?

Moving an office server room in London typically costs £3,000–£15,000 depending on the number of servers, whether climate-controlled transport is required, and whether re-racking and re-cabling is needed at the new site. A single server rack (20–40U) usually costs £3,000–£6,000 for full decommissioning, transport, reinstallation, and testing. Larger server rooms with multiple racks, SAN storage, or UPS systems are priced following a free site assessment. Coreitech provides fixed-price quotes with no day rates.

Q.How much does IT relocation cost per user?

IT relocation costs approximately £100–£400 per user depending on scope. A basic workstation-only move (no servers, no cabling) is around £100–£150 per user. A full-service relocation including structured cabling, server moves, connectivity provisioning, and post-move support is typically £250–£400 per user. Volume discounts apply for offices with 50+ users. Coreitech provides per-user pricing breakdowns in every fixed-price quote.
