So you’ve Googled:
“Office movers Dublin”
“How to move an office without losing your mind (or your monitor)”
“Cheap office movers with actual insurance”
And after scrolling through six sponsored ads, two articles clearly written by ChatGPT’s drowsy cousin, and a photo of a man dropping a photocopier… you’re still no closer to knowing what really happens when you move your Dublin office.
Allow us to lift the lid.
Because while Google’s all very good at telling you where to click, it’s a bit shy when it comes to telling you what an actual office move feels like. And spoiler alert: it’s not all trolleys and labels. Sometimes it’s tears, tantrums, and a keyboard that’s mysteriously stopped working the day before the move.
At Expert Removals, we’ve seen it all. We’ve moved offices during heatwaves, down alleys not wide enough for a pushchair, and out of buildings that forgot elevators exist. This isn’t just about boxes and bubble wrap.
This is emotional. So, grab a cup of coffee (or something stronger), because here’s everything Google won’t tell you – but we will.
Is Moving Office Really That Stressful?
Yes. And no.
Here’s the thing:
You’re not just moving desks. You’re shifting workflow, habits, coffee routines, team morale, and Kevin from IT’s sacred chair that hasn’t been adjusted since 2011.
Stat attack:
According to a 2023 survey by Regus, 42% of office workers ranked relocating as more stressful than a major relationship breakup. (That same study also found 1 in 5 people cried during their last office move. And not just over the coffee machine.)
How Do I Plan an Office Move Without Losing Sleep?
Let’s translate that searcher intent:
“I want this done with military precision and zero chaos, but I also don’t want to be the one managing 14 spreadsheets.”
Fair enough.
Our answer:
You need a moving company in Dublin that does more than just lift stuff. You need logistics, communication, and someone who’ll tell you when your move plan has a glaring hole in it. (And yes, we’ve done that. Nicely. Usually.)
Here’s how we break it down:
| Phase | What Happens | Our Bit |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Move | Audits, timelines, inventories | We do walk-throughs and flag risks early |
| Packing | Chaos, cables, and things you forgot you owned | We provide labels, crates, and a game plan |
| Transport | Traffic, loading bays, awkward furniture | We send trained movers, not two guys with vans |
| Setup | Furniture layout, IT reconnections | We follow your floor plan to the letter |
Pro tip:
We also handle recycling, disposal, and secure shredding of old office files. (No, Kevin’s “LaserDisc collection” doesn’t count.)
How Long Will It Take to Move Our Office?
That depends on how much stuff you have, how organised you are… and whether your building has that charming “no lift after 6PM” policy.
But to give you a ballpark:
| Office Size | Estimated Move Time | Estimated Crew | Truck Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (1–10 staff) | 4–6 hours | 2–3 movers | Luton box van |
| Medium (10–30 staff) | 1 full day | 4–6 movers | 18.5-tonne truck |
| Large (30–60 staff) | 1–2 days | 6–10 movers | Multiple large vehicles |
Note:
We can move you overnight or on a weekend so your business doesn’t skip a beat. (Unless you’re a drum shop – then we’ll work around your beats.)
How Much Does It Cost to Move an Office in Dublin?
Now we’re talking. Literally everyone wants to know this.
We won’t make you fill out a form to get a vague answer.
Here’s a basic cost table based on 2024 averages in Dublin:
| Office Size | Avg. Cost Range (€) | What Affects This? |
|---|---|---|
| Small Office | €450–€850 | Access, stairs, packing, timing |
| Medium Office | €900–€2,000 | Furniture volume, IT needs, dismantling/reassembly |
| Large Office | €2,000–€5,000+ | Number of floors, internal logistics, clearances |
Want an exact figure? We’ll give it to you – fast, no fluff, no “speak to sales”.
What Could Go Wrong?
Oh boy. Strap in.
Here’s a list we wish we never had to write, but real talk matters.
| Risk | What It Looks Like | How We Handle It |
|---|---|---|
| Poor labelling | 7 monitors in 1 room, none of them the right ones | Our team helps label and zone items properly |
| Miscommunication with landlord | Surprise: no lift access or loading bay | We talk to building managers before moving day |
| Delays in IT setup | Emails down = chaos | We schedule IT reconnections with military timing |
| Wrong equipment used | Delicate items crushed by big trolleys | We bring gear specific to office kit (and handle with care) |
| Movers show up late or not at all | Yes, it happens – but not with us | Our punctuality record? 97.8% on-time arrival rate in 2024 |
