Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our service

What types of commercial premises do you move?

We handle moves for warehouses, factories, retail shops, restaurants, pubs, gyms, salons, workshops, and more. If it's a commercial premises in Devon, we've almost certainly moved one like it before. Each move is planned around the specific layout and equipment involved.

How do you minimise disruption to our trading hours?

We schedule the bulk of the work outside your trading hours — evenings, overnight, and weekends are all options. For retail and hospitality clients, we can phase the move so you stay partially open throughout. We'll build a timeline with you that protects your revenue.

Can you move heavy industrial or catering equipment?

Yes. Our team is trained to move commercial kitchen appliances, industrial machinery, gym equipment, salon stations, and workshop tools. We use specialist lifting gear, furniture skates, and our 7.5-tonne lorry with a heavy-duty tail lift for anything that can't be carried.

Do you handle health and safety requirements for commercial moves?

Absolutely. We carry out a risk assessment before every commercial move and follow all relevant H&S regulations for the premises type. We carry full public liability insurance and can provide method statements and risk assessments if your landlord or insurer requires them.

How much does a commercial move cost?

It depends on the size of your premises, the type and volume of equipment, and the complexity of access. A small retail shop might cost from around £500, while a full warehouse relocation could be £3,000 or more. We provide detailed, itemised quotes with no hidden charges — just get in touch for yours.

Commercial Moving Services Across Devon

Relocating a business is about more than moving furniture — it’s about protecting your livelihood. Whether you’re a restaurant owner upgrading to larger premises, a gym relocating across town, or a warehouse consolidating operations, every hour your business is closed costs money. At Sigma Removals, we plan every commercial move around one priority: getting you back up and running as fast as possible.

We’ve moved everything from high-street boutiques to industrial workshops across Devon. That breadth of experience means we understand the specific challenges each type of premises brings, from the weight of commercial kitchen equipment to the delicacy of salon wash stations.

More Than Just a Removal Service

A commercial move touches every part of your operation. Stock needs to arrive in sellable condition. Equipment needs to be disconnected, transported safely, and reconnected in the right position. Your staff need clear timelines so they can plan around the disruption. We handle all of this, coordinating with your electricians, plumbers, and IT providers so nothing falls between the cracks.

Unlike a standard house removal, commercial moves often require working outside normal hours. We routinely schedule moves for evenings, overnight, and weekends — and for most commercial jobs, there’s no extra charge for unsociable hours.

Health & Safety Built In

Every commercial premises has its own H&S requirements. We carry out a full risk assessment before the move and can provide method statements and documentation for your landlord, insurer, or local authority. Our team carries full public liability insurance, and we’re experienced in working safely in retail environments, commercial kitchens, and industrial units.
