Office Furniture Service Work
Office and Contract furniture, by its' very nature, is exposed to exceptional everyday wear and tear. Furniture that when purchased, gave the office a smart and efficient corporate look can quickly become worn and jaded, and defeat much of the object of purchasing it in the first place.
Correct care is important. We would be delighted to offer you some free advice on caring for your furniture, and in many cases, we can provide you with literature pointing out many useful tips. Use of the correct cleaning materials and techniques, together with improved staff awareness helps. Dealing with problems quickly can improve matters enormously.
Occasionally, faults will develop. If they are dealt with quickly, then often the problem can be resolved cheaply and permanently, but leave it too long and catches and runners, for example, can become distorted and broken due to having been forced. These problems render the furniture inefficient, doors may not shut or even fall off, perhaps drawers won't lock or even close and the office quickly looks jaded, detracting from the quality image of the Company. The eventual cost of repairs or even replacements can increase dramatically with time.
Attending to faults with furniture products, whether under Warranty or not, requires an in - depth knowledge of the products and their 'habits'. Rectification techniques are acquired through many years of installing and servicing furniture. Often small, subtle touches are all that is required, and this can save our Clients a great deal of money. Our Service Technicians have gained this experience, working with many different furniture manufacturers and different ranges of furniture every day, they consistently build on this knowledge through installing and repairing furniture for our Clients.
We would be happy to assist you with your furniture servicing and repairs, whether it is a one-off problem requiring emergency attention or a more methodical planned maintenance programme. (This service option is described elsewhere.) Sticking locks, faulty drawers, broken keys etc. we will be happy to assist.

Lock and Key Replacements
We hold replacement locks for some manufacturer's product ranges and can usually obtain others from one of our sources. Replacement keys are usually cut to order. Most locks and keys can be with you within 2/3 days of receipt of order, although some special locks may take longer. All locks can be fitted if required, by one of our Furniture Technicians, at extra cost. |
Space Planning and 3D Design
Our ability to visualise what can be achieved with the available office space is something that has been gained from over two decades of experience.
Often prospective customers will approach us for the price of a few desks, for example, without really being aware of what was possible. Generally we like to turn this situation around by discovering what it is a customer is trying to achieve, what equipment and resources are available now, and what budget is available to spend.
This analysis can be simple and straight forward or can result in an in-depth survey and more consultation. However, we would always aim to make suggestions in terms of the use of space, the overall office design, furniture aesthetics and possible furniture solutions. We endeavour to offer customers a selection of products so that they can then make an informed decision.
For some, visualising what we have in our mind for their office can be difficult, and this is where CAD, or Computer Aided Design comes in. Using the latest technology, we can create a floor plan of the proposed office layout together with 3D views from different angles. It is even possible to "walk" the customer through their proposed office. For ease, these plans and images can be presented to our customer via email, saving time and energy for all concerned. |
Crate and Equipment Hire
Whether moving departments around within your existing buildings, or packing ready for a relocation, having the right packing and moving equipment is critical for a smooth move.
Strong plastic crates, often with lids, enable your files and belongings to be safely packed, whilst ensuring that the removers are able to move them without injury to themselves. They are also easier to transport around, and to load onto removal trucks. Usually, they should be labeled with the destination details, making it easier for the removal personnel to ensure your crate ends up at the correct destination. they can also be sealed with a unique plastic strip, reducing the chance of tampering with the contents and clearly showing if this has occurred.
Each crate will hold contents of a drawer of a filing cabinet, or 7/8 Lever Arch Files and take maximum weight of 50kg. They can be handled by one person and are very practical.
A1 crate has an interlocking lid and is stackable. Internal Measurements Length 610mm, Width 405mm, Depth 315mm. Weight 4.5 kg.
Larger computer crates enable a computer screen (monitor) to be safely packed and transported, complete with its' CPU, keyboard and mouse. This reduces the risk of damage and ensures that all items arrive together at the correct location.
Crates can be safely stacked four high and can be loaded onto a skate to move them across a room. When crates are empty they can be stacked up to 20 high. Premier Furniture Solutions can provide crates for hire for any period, and to suit varying requirements. They are also available to buy. Please call us for details.
We are also able to provide secure roll cages for moving IT and office equipment.
We can also supply bubble wrap, cling wrap, packing tape and identification labels to assist with the protection of any items during a move.
For customers whom use our archiving service, we can supply archiving boxes suitable for this purpose. These are available via our Online Shop.
