Office Movers in Nairobi: Move Without Losing Work Days

KejaPal are office movers in Nairobi who plan your move around your business, not the other way round. We move desks, files, computers and meeting rooms in the evening or over a weekend, so your team starts work at the new office with little or no downtime.

  • Evening and weekend moves to protect work days
  • Colour-coded labels for every desk and room
  • Computers, files and furniture moved and placed

An office move is really a business continuity project. Every hour your team cannot work costs money. Clients still expect calls to be answered, invoices to go out and meetings to happen. So the goal is simple: close the old office one evening and open the new one the next working morning.

We have built our office moving process around that goal. This page explains how it works, what it costs and how to prepare your team.

What our office movers in Nairobi handle

Office moves involve more than desks and chairs. A typical job includes:

  • Workstations. Desks, chairs, drawers, monitors, docking stations and personal items.
  • IT equipment. Computers, printers, small server racks, routers and phones, wrapped and moved in padded crates.
  • Files and records. Filing cabinets and archive boxes, kept in order and sealed.
  • Meeting rooms. Boardroom tables, screens and conference chairs, taken apart and rebuilt.
  • Kitchen and reception. Fridges, microwaves, water dispensers, sofas and display items.
  • Safes and heavy items. Moved with special equipment by a trained team. See our safe moving page.

How an office move works

Most office moves follow six stages. Therefore small offices can go through them in a week. Larger ones may need a month of planning.

  1. Walk-through. First, we visit both offices with your office manager. We note furniture, IT, access, lifts and parking.
  2. Move plan. Next, you receive a written plan with the date, timing, crew size, trucks and a floor plan for the new office.
  3. Labelling. Each staff member gets labels with a colour for the floor and a number for the desk. Those labels go on every crate, chair and monitor.
  4. Packing. Staff pack their own desk items into crates on the last afternoon. Meanwhile, our crew packs shared areas, files and the kitchen.
  5. Moving night or weekend. After that, the crew moves everything and places each labelled item at its matching desk.
  6. Morning check. Finally, a small team stays on the first morning to move anything that ended up in the wrong place.

Common problems

Moving IT equipment safely

Computers and network gear are often the most valuable items in an office, so office movers in Nairobi must treat them with extra care. They also cause the most stress if they fail after a move. So we handle them separately.

  • Your IT team or provider shuts down and disconnects equipment before we touch it.
  • Monitors travel in padded sleeves, and desktop towers travel upright in crates.
  • Cables go into labelled bags, one per desk, so reconnection is quick.
  • Small racks and routers travel in the cab or on top of the load, never under heavy furniture.
  • At the new office, we place the equipment, and your IT team reconnects it.

If your office has a server room, we recommend booking your IT provider for the same evening. That way, the network is up before staff arrive. For large projects, our corporate relocation service adds a project lead who coordinates with your IT team.

How we price office moving in Nairobi

Office moves are priced per project after a walk-through. We then send a written proposal and agree the final price with you.

Lift access, loading bay rules, distance and the amount of packing all change the final figure. Evening and weekend work is included in our planning, so ask about it when you request a quote.

Office relocation in Nairobi: timing and building rules

Commercial buildings in Westlands, Upper Hill, Kilimani and the CBD often set strict moving rules. For example, many only allow moves after 6 pm or on weekends. Others require a booking for the service lift and the loading bay, a list of crew names and proof of insurance.

We handle that paperwork with both building managers. As a result, the crew is not stuck at the gate on moving night. Please share the contact details of both building managers early, ideally two weeks before the move.

How it works

Preparing your team for the move

A clear plan for staff makes moving night much smoother. Here is what we usually suggest:

  • Share the move date, the new address and parking details with all staff at least two weeks ahead.
  • Give each person a crate and labels on the last afternoon, and ask them to pack only personal and desk items.
  • Ask staff to clear their desk drawers, or lock them and hand in the keys.
  • Back up all computers and shared drives before the move.
  • Tell clients and suppliers about the new address and any downtime in advance.
  • Update your address with the Kenya Revenue Authority and on your invoices, letterheads and website.

Offices and businesses

Types of businesses we move

Our office movers in Nairobi work with many kinds of organisations. Small offices with five to ten staff are the most common. However, we also move clinics with medical equipment, NGOs with large archives, law firms with confidential files and shops with stock and display units.

Each type has its own needs. For instance, clinics need equipment moved and reinstalled in a certain order. Law firms need files moved in sealed boxes with a sign-off sheet. Shops need the move done between closing time and opening time. We plan each of these with you in advance.

For schools, colleges and churches, see our institution moving page. For shops and stores, read about our shop and warehouse moves.

Furniture

Office furniture: move, store or dispose

A move is a good time to decide what furniture is worth keeping. Old desks and broken chairs cost money to carry. So we help you sort items into three groups before moving day.

  • Move. Good furniture and equipment that suit the new office layout.
  • Store. Items you may need later, kept in our secure storage.
  • Dispose. Broken or unwanted items, cleared by our junk removal team or donated.

We can also take apart and rebuild modular workstations, partitions and shelving. Our furniture assembly team handles the more complex systems.

The first week at the new office

Even a well-run move leaves small jobs for the first few days. For example, a printer needs a new cable, a whiteboard needs hanging, or a team wants their desks in a different order. So our office movers in Nairobi offer a short follow-up visit in the first week.

During that visit, the crew moves furniture between rooms, hangs pictures and screens, and collects the empty crates. In addition, we can remove the last boxes and wrapping from the building. As a result, your new office looks finished by the end of the first week, not the end of the first month.

Finally, ask your team for feedback after a few days. Small changes, such as moving a noisy printer away from a quiet corner, are easier to fix while the crew is still around.

Why choose KejaPal for your office move

Business owners tell us they want three things from office movers in Nairobi: no lost work days, no lost files and no surprises on the bill. Our process is built around those three points. You get a written plan, a fixed price, one coordinator and a crew that works while your team rests.

Costs and pricing

How we agree the price of office movers in Nairobi

Every quote for office movers in Nairobi is prepared after we have assessed the job. For example, stairs, heavy items, packing and distance all change the work involved. Therefore we look first, quote second and agree the price with you third. Moreover, if you want to reduce the cost, we suggest practical options, such as packing some boxes yourself or choosing a quieter date. In short, you stay in control of the scope and the cost.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an office move take?

A small office of up to 10 staff usually moves in one evening. A medium office of 10 to 30 staff takes an evening or a Saturday. Larger offices often move over a weekend so staff start on Monday.

Can you move our office at night?

Yes. Evening and weekend moves are standard for us, because most buildings and businesses prefer them. We confirm the allowed hours with both building managers first.

Do you disconnect and reconnect computers?

Our crew wraps, moves and places computers and printers. Your IT team or provider should shut down, disconnect and reconnect them, because they know your network. We coordinate timing with them.

How much does it cost to move a small office in Nairobi?

It depends on the size of the move, the distance, access such as stairs and lifts, and any packing or special items. We assess the job by survey or video call, then agree the final price with you in a written quote.

Do you provide crates for staff to pack their desks?

Yes. We bring reusable plastic crates and labels for each staff member. They pack personal and desk items, and we handle everything else.
