OFFICE FURNITURE
RE-USE
We do our best to re-home as much furniture and unwanted tech as we can, there is absolutely no reason why furniture and equipment which is clean and functional cannot find a new purpose in another organisation.
Over the years at Russell Fewins, we’ve seen reused furniture and tech items put a smile on the faces of children, teachers and teams who have benefited from much-needed additional resources.
“I would like to send thanks on behalf of St Thomas More High School to your client for their extremely kind donation of the office chairs and stacking chairs … I would also like to thank Russell
Fewins for organising and delivering them to the school”
​
“Thank you so much for making all the arrangements and to your client for their kind donation of the booth, the 6th formers ‘love’ it! Their faces were a treat when they saw they had some posh furniture. It’s used every day for study lessons and for break/lunchtime and chilling out.”
​
“We have seen the cost of everything we buy increase at such a rapid rate this year, and donations like this make such a huge difference to the money we have to spend on resources for the children. We are also very grateful for your generosity in delivering these items directly to our school”’

BUSINESS & OFFICE RECYCLING SERVICES
What if the furniture or equipment has had its day and won’t be any good to anyone? Whether it’s damaged or not fit for purpose anymore, it might be tech that’s been sitting in a cupboard and is no longer in use or compatible with current operating systems, recycling is the answer.
As an ISO9001/2015 company and licensed waste carrier, we’ll provide an audited certificate detailing the specific recycling process used for all items you no longer need. You can be sure of exactly where your waste ends up, whether that's being recycled or reused and you’ll have the paper trail to prove it.
-
Can you provide a rough estimate or a quote over the telephone?We offer a free-of-charge survey which means we can provide you with a fixed-price quotation. By physically visiting the site we can carry out an accurate assessment of the premises, for example; the size of lifts, access to the building, parking restrictions etc., this then enables us to pre-empt and take into consideration any potential challenges or special requirements that could be involved, to avoid additional unanticipated costs further down the line. Every move we carry out is different, by carrying out an in-person assessment, we can better understand your specific requirements and provide the set of services that you need, such as packing, dismantling of furniture, IT migration, and space planning to name just a few.
-
How much notice do we need to give?It’s never too soon to contact us, we’d recommend you involve us at the very beginning of a project. This will allow you plenty of time not just to execute the project, but to make sure all the planning is in place and decisions are made on time. You may also find that we can offer you other valuable services such as refurbishments, fit-outs, space planning and new furniture, or even dilapidation works if you are at the end of your lease that you haven’t yet considered as part of the moving process. Please be assured we will always try to accommodate you, as we know from vast experience, it’s not always that easy or straightforward and a lot of our clients have moves and property-based projects landed on them last minute… We will always do our best to provide you with the best possible solution.

Are you able to carry out moves at the weekend or out of hours and would this involve an additional cost?Yes, we can definitely fit your brief, and yes there would be an uplift in cost for out-of-hours removal services.

Most of the team have been with us for the 25 years we have been in operation and we believe in remunerating them fairly.
