Our approach

The whole company moves, the work carries on

A company removal is more than a row of boxes. Workstations, cabinets, the archive and the stock all have to go over in the right order, while your customers notice as little of it as possible. That is our trade: Feitsma has been moving businesses in Haarlem and the surrounding area since 1927, from archives and libraries to schools and warehouses, and across the border too.

It starts with a free survey visit at your premises, a short visit of about 20 minutes. We walk through the building together, discuss which work is needed and in what time frame we can do it for you. Within one working day there is a fixed quote, so you know exactly where you stand beforehand.

We often plan the move itself at the weekend, so your team notices as little as possible. Our movers take the office furniture apart, wrap everything in moving blankets and put it back together at the new address; dismantling and assembly are included in our price. And the lift truck? That stands right against your building.

During the move you have one central point of contact: the foreman who directs the team. On larger projects a project manager also prepares the move together with you.

What is fixed, and what we agree together

With a company removal you do not want loose ends. Below is what is fixed with us, and what you run through with us beforehand. Then you know it before the van pulls up, not afterwards.

This is fixed

  • A fixed quote beforehand, within one working day of the free survey visit. What we agree is what you pay.
  • Dismantling and assembly in the price: office furniture, and on a warehouse removal the racking and fittings as well.
  • One point of contact on moving day: the foreman leads the move and directs the team.
  • Erkende Verhuizer (the Dutch recognised-mover accreditation) and Kiwa ISO 9001: your contents are insured up to 100,000 euros with no excess, and interim storage for up to 12 months falls under the same cover.

You can read the full cover on our insurance page.

This we agree together

  • The timing. We often move businesses at the weekend, so the work stops as little as possible; an evening is possible too. Evening and weekend work carries a surcharge, and that is simply stated in the quote beforehand.
  • Who packs. Do your staff pack their own workstation, or does our packing team do it? We deliver boxes, labels and packing paper to your premises well in advance.
  • Your IT. We move computers, monitors and servers packed and protected, out of the server room as well; we agree the disconnecting and reconnecting beforehand with your system administrator or IT provider.
  • Exceptional value. Is there something among your contents worth more than the 100,000 euro cover, such as a machine or a safe? Tell us beforehand and we put a separate arrangement about it in the quote. For art and valuable collections that limit within the cover is 20,000 euros.

Not sure about something? Give us a call or a WhatsApp message and we put it in writing beforehand. 023 532 26 23

Our own equipment

The lift truck stands right against your building.

If your company is on an upper floor, the contents do not have to go through the stairwell. Our moving lift reaches the 8th floor and lifts 400 kilos, through a window or a balcony as well. Desks, cabinets and archive boxes go up the outside, with our own vans that are all comprehensively insured.

Customer reviews

A 4.9 on Google, with filing cabinets and desks too

Customers give us a 4.9 on Google, a 9.8 on Trustoo across 596 reviews and a 9.6 on Klantenvertellen. Those scores were built up over more than 50,000 removals since 1927, and plenty of Haarlem businesses are among them.

Many of those reviews are about home removals, and that is good news for you: your company removal is done by the same people, under the same agreements. Only the planning is different, and we set that up around your opening hours. As one customer writes after her move: "Everything went to plan, assembly and dismantling included, very skilled."

Preparation on the work floor

Well before moving day we deliver boxes, labels and packing paper to your premises, free on loan. Your staff pack their own workstation, or our packing team takes it over. You hire stretch wrap, bubble wrap and moving trolleys from us, and a lift truck with driver as well. Have a look at our moving checklist for businesses too.

The moving weekend

The foreman leads the day and directs the team. We dismantle, wrap in moving blankets and drive everything over; at the new address the furniture stands assembled in its place, so the work can simply carry on afterwards.

Four company removals we know well

Every company moves differently. An archive calls for order, a school for planning, a warehouse for logistics. Four kinds of company removal we have come to know well since 1927.

Archive and library

Over the years we have moved a good many archives and libraries: specialist and precise work. Everything goes over labelled and in order, with a numbering system, so every folder and every shelf can be found straight away at the new address.

School

We are glad to move your school too, and to do it well. Classrooms, teaching materials and the administration go over in order, and we lay the planning alongside the timetable, at a weekend for instance, so lessons can simply carry on.

Warehouse

A warehouse removal is a logistical challenge, and one we are happy to take on with you. We think it through with you beforehand, so your business process is disrupted as little as possible; dismantling and assembly of the warehouse racking and the rest of the fittings are on us.

Dismantling and assembly are included in our price

Interim storage

Do the handover dates not line up, or is the new building still being refurbished? Your contents can go into our own warehouse on the Waarderpolder. For up to 12 months that storage falls under the same cover as the move; you say so straight away in the quote form.

From the Waarderpolder to the city centre, we know the Haarlem buildings

We have been moving Haarlem businesses since 1927. Our warehouse is on the Izaäk Enschedéweg, right in the middle of the Waarderpolder, and from there we drive just as easily to Amsterdam, the Haarlemmermeer or across the border. Sustainable as well: for every job a tree goes into the Feitsma forest and our fleet is turning electric step by step.

  1. Business premises in the city centrewe know the narrow streets and pavements of central Haarlem; at the free survey visit our adviser sees straight away whether the van fits in front of the door
  2. Paperwork with the councilwhat is needed for the van or the lift differs from street to street; we look it up for your address and take care of the application. We only pass on the council fees; how that works in Haarlem is explained under the removal van permit in Haarlem
  3. High or tightour moving lift reaches the 8th floor and lifts 400 kilos, through a window or balcony as well; handy for an office above a shop
  4. Your business does not have to closewe often move businesses at the weekend, so customers and staff notice little of it

Frequently asked questions

What businesses usually ask us first

What does a company removal cost?

That depends on the size of your contents, the floors and the access at both buildings, the packing and any storage. That is why we do not work with a price list but with a fixed quote: our adviser calls round free of charge and within one working day you have a price that is set.

What the market charges: according to comparison sites such as Sirelo a complete company removal often costs 5,000 to 10,000 euros, and the price per office workstation is around 450 to 600 euros. These are not Feitsma rates: your price is set beforehand in the quote. Request your quote, or book the free survey first. Are you moving house rather than an office? Then look at our private removals.

Can we carry on working during the move?

We set the whole planning up for that. We often move businesses at the weekend, so the work simply carries on during the week; an evening is possible too. Evening and weekend work carries a surcharge, which is simply stated in the fixed quote beforehand.

At the survey visit we discuss which planning suits your company and what goes over when.

Who packs everything, and who assembles the furniture?

That is up to you. Your staff pack their own workstation with boxes and labels that we deliver well in advance, or our packing team takes it over completely.

Dismantling and assembly of office furniture is included in our price, and on a warehouse removal the racking as well. Would you rather do part of it yourself? Then you hire stretch wrap, bubble wrap and moving trolleys from us. If a cabinet will not go down the stairwell, our moving lift with an operator takes it out through the window.

What happens to our computers and IT?

We move computers, monitors and servers packed and protected, out of the server room as well. We agree the disconnecting and reconnecting beforehand with your system administrator or IT provider, so everyone handles their own part.

A handy tip: photograph the cables at each workstation before they come loose, then plugging everything in at the new address is done in no time.

Are our contents insured during the company removal?

Yes. We move as an Erkende Verhuizer with cover up to 100,000 euros at replacement value, with no excess, across the whole job; that applies to business work as well. If something goes into storage temporarily, that falls under the same cover for up to 12 months.

If your contents are worth more, tell us beforehand: then we set down a separate arrangement about it. You can read the full cover on our insurance page.

Can our contents go into storage temporarily?

Yes. If the dates for the two buildings do not line up, we store your contents in our own warehouse on the Izaäk Enschedéweg in Haarlem: heated, climate controlled and secured with an alarm and cameras. For up to 12 months that falls under the same cover as the move.

You say so straight away in the quote form, at the question about interim storage. You can read more about the warehouse on our storage page.
