LABORATORY RELOCATION SPECIALISTS
Leveraging decades of expertise with top-tier pharmaceutical organisations, our teams are highly sensitive to the delicate workings of a laboratory, recognising and working alongside GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) guidelines. We understand that relocating a laboratory is different from any other commercial move. Each piece of equipment must be handled according to its specifications; every bench, sample, and instrument must be meticulously packed, stabilised, and handled with precision - arriving intact and ready to use. Our experienced Project Managers work closely with your laboratory supervisors, equipment suppliers, and facilities teams to ensure a seamless transition from one site to the next. Every relocation begins with detailed planning and risk assessments. We conduct site surveys, identify access routes, investigate potential hazards, and map out the entire process before a single item is moved. By combining methodical preparation with hands-on expertise, we deliver moves that are efficient, compliant, and stress-free. Our dedicated laboratory relocation service has been developed to meet the exacting standards required within scientific environments, where safety, accuracy, and continuity are critical. We cover every aspect of the move — from initial consultation through to final installation. Whether you’re transferring one piece of equipment, research critical samples, a small research suite or an entire facility, we provide a tailored plan designed to minimise downtime and protect your assets throughout.

We recognise the importance of delivering items safely, securely and without damage and endeavour to provide safeguards at every opportunity. We can assess the packing needs of the specific item to be relocated, considering factors such as temperature control, distance and duration of transportation and transportation mode. We can then have bespoke crates produced which would be tailored specifically to the item being shipped. Offering heat treated crates in line with ISPM15 (International Phytosanitary Standard for Wood Packaging), Stratocell Foam packaging, shock detectors and tilt indicators, foil bags, shrink wrapping, cushioning felt and chip foam if required. We can ship singular pieces of equipment, be it a specific piece of Laboratory equipment, a computer server or large machinery, but can also manage and co-ordinate the shipping of large scale office/laboratory relocations, or high volumes of equipment. Including FULL customs administration.
FULL PACKING SERVICE
Our teams are trained in the safe handling of sensitive instruments, glassware, consumables, and chemicals. We work within strict health and safety guidelines and maintain full insurance cover for your peace of mind. Climate-controlled vehicles, custom packing materials, and specialist handling equipment ensure that even the most delicate or temperature-sensitive items arrive in perfect condition. We understand that relocating a laboratory is different from any other commercial move. Each piece of equipment must be handled according to its specifications; every bench, sample, and instrument must be meticulously packed, stabilised, and handled with precision - arriving intact and ready to use. Our experienced Project Managers work closely with your laboratory supervisors, equipment suppliers, and facilities teams to ensure a seamless transition from one site to the next. Every relocation begins with detailed planning and risk assessments.

By combining methodical preparation with hands-on expertise, we deliver moves that are efficient, compliant, and stress-free.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Here at BHL, we believe the implementation of project objectives, effective teamwork and our “Orbital” style management, are key to a successful Project. We pride ourselves on being able to provide a full spectrum of project services, from our professional & skilled Project Managers right through to the provision of our own removal crews and vehicles, offering a complete Turnkey Solution. We believe this all-encompassing approach, with no singular aspect of the project being managed by a third party, allows for a more streamline chain of command, effective and swift problem solving, and therefore an efficient Project. We feel it is important for our Project Managers to have a full view and influence on all aspects of the Project in order to achieve maximum success. It is with this in mind that we have developed an “orbital” approach to planning and management, this in essence, simply focuses on the assigned Project Manager being at the centre of the process. It is from this central position that all levels of service and tasks revolve or “orbit”, and at any one time are under the control of the Project Manager. Our initial Project management role would be to identify the scope of the project, and discuss the constraints of time, cost etc. It is from this initial planning meeting that we can then set our Project Objectives and develop a comprehensive Project Plan, assigning specific jobs, adhering to budget restraints and engaging the client base. Regular Move Management meetings will then be organised by our Project Manager, with emphasis on fully informing all involved. Election of Move Advocates to represent different move groups and to feedback process details such as our Move Checklists, temporary evacuation procedures, waste disposal information and the projected Move Schedule etc.
