Moving racks between Manchester facilities — or out of a comms room and into colo — without the horror stories. Audited out, labelled, moved, re-racked and verified back online, at a flat £95/hour per engineer, overnight windows included.
The migration broken into stages you can sign off one at a time.
Everything labelled, photographed and mapped — cables, ports, serials — before a single screw moves.
Powered down in order, de-cabled, de-racked and packed properly.
Rack-scale moves carried between facilities, with our Salford warehouse as staging when the windows don't line up.
Rebuilt to the new elevation, cabled and labelled cleanly — often tidier than it left.
Structured power-on with your team on the call, links checked against the port map.
New rack map, photos and serial inventory delivered with the Work Order.
Manchester's facilities sit in clusters minutes apart — migrations here are short drives, not logistics projects.

Hourly with a Not To Exceed cap — you approve the estimate before anything moves.
Flat, per engineer. No VAT on top.
Billed in whole hours on-site. Travel time is never billed.
Nights, weekends and bank holidays cost the same £95/hour.
Every estimate carries a Not To Exceed cap — if a job looks like it'll pass it, we pause and ask first. Full detail at billing explained.
Yes, and it costs nothing extra — there's no out-of-hours premium, so a Friday-night decommission and Saturday re-rack runs at the same flat £95/hour.
For rack-scale moves, we do — packed properly and carried between facilities, with our insurance covering the work. For very large multi-rack migrations we'll work alongside specialist DC movers and handle the technical ends.
The pre-move audit is the insurance: every cable and port is labelled and photographed before disconnection, and power-up runs against that map with your team live on a call. Discrepancies surface immediately, not Monday morning.
We stage through our Salford warehouse — decommission when the old facility wants you out, store securely, install when the new cage is ready.
Tell us source, destination and window — we'll map out the stages.
