Library relocations

JTS Relocations specialises in library removals, having undertaken numerous library relocations over the years. Whether we’re tasked with carrying out an internal move of a school’s collection or integrating multiple library collection for multi-site universities we always follow a logical programme of steps to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum.

We pride ourselves on delivering the very best library removal service possible, and this consistently high level of service saw us receive the accolade of Commercial Mover of the Year, something that gives new clients peace of mind when they’re looking for a library relocation specialist.

Our highly skilled Project Team have a wealth of knowledge in this area of commercial removals and will work closely with your librarians and other key members of staff to achieve your removal with minimal disruption.

One of our specialist Prince2 Project Managers will meet with you to undertake a full pre-move survey. During this meeting they will be able to assist your staff with the planning and implementation of the project and put forward suggestions to make the process even easier.

Our Library Removals typically include:

• Full project/move manager support before, during and after the move
• All necessary crate hire and associated administration
• Planning and implementation of labelling systems
• Full crew briefings and ‘toolbox talks’ throughout the move, overseen by project management
• Dismantling and reassembly of racking and shelving
• Packing and unpacking in strict order, including integrations
• Professional packing and removal of IT, microfilm and microfiche collections
• Provision of skilled technicians and specialist materials for the packaging of historical and precious books and documents.
• Integration from unlimited premises to one or more facilities
• Full post-move support

For more complex and long-term projects, we can offer secure storage with our client portal and e-inventory/cataloguing system. Our e-inventory is a secure online system (operated in-house), giving you an ‘at a glance’ view of exactly what you have in store at any one time, including photographs and condition reports where appropriate. Our client portal can be tailor-made to give you exactly what you need, including full project reporting facilities.

JTS Relocations has undertaken many complex transitions with a 100% satisfaction record. On every project, we carry out full labelling procedures before any packing takes place, and our fully trained team can pack to any existing order and integrate library stocks where required.

We offer packing services for all types of libraries, including books, periodicals, files and stamps.

Library integrations and the merging of sequential library systems provide a unique challenge, even for companies used to carrying out library moves. We have successfully undertaken several large library moves where we have been required to merge two or more libraries into one, which includes the merging of various sequences into one master order.

While undertaking relocations like this, we also offer a number of additional services such as Office Furniture Sustainable Recycling, Office Furniture Dismantling/Reassembling, WEEE Recycling, PC/Computer Relocations, Files & Records Packing in strict order and many more. Please contact our Office and Commercial Removal team on 0800 849 1501 to discuss how we can assist with your upcoming relocations.

We take our work incredibly seriously and always ensure we work to the highest H&S standards. All our staff are DBS-cleared, ensuring the safety of all vulnerable adults and children. What’s more, we have public, employer, and product liability insurance for a value of £10 million in place, along with our removal and storage insurance. As you’d expect, the value insured can be increased where necessary to meet your requirements.
