Office moves in Winterthur
An office move rarely gets expensive on the day itself, but on the Monday morning after – when the workstations still aren't up. Hegi Umzüge is at home in Winterthur and relocates offices and commercial premises in the city and across the canton of Zurich, in the evening and at weekends if you prefer.
What we take on in an office move
Dismantling and reassembling workstations
Desks, pedestals, chairs and monitors: we dismantle at the old site, transport it properly secured and reassemble at the new one – labelled per workstation and ready to be plugged in. Your own IT connects the network and the server room.
Files, archives and storerooms
Folders, archive boxes and the contents of your storerooms are packed by our packing service on request – and put back at the new site in the same order they stood in before.
Clearing and disposing of old furniture
Whatever stays behind at the old site – worn-out furniture, bulky waste, electrical appliances – we clear out and take to the right collection point, separated and traceable.
What makes the difference in Winterthur
An office move doesn't come unstuck on the furniture transport, it comes unstuck on access. Three things we clarify for your address in advance:
Old town: loading has a deadline
In the old town pedestrian zone, loading and unloading (Güterumschlag) is permitted in principle – but in Marktgasse, Untertor and Münzgasse only until 11:00; a driving ban then applies until 18:30, for which a permit is needed. The city also states explicitly that packing, sorting and assembly or dismantling no longer count as Güterumschlag. For offices in the old town we therefore schedule around those windows.
The delivery entrance, not the house number
With commercial buildings it is not the address that decides but the way in: the delivery entrance, the goods lift and its dimensions, the ramp, the closing times of the underground car park. We collect these details before quoting – and where a public parking bay has to be closed off, we clarify the procedure with the city in good time.
Whole sites, not single addresses
A growing share of Winterthur's office space sits on repurposed industrial sites: on the former Sulzerareal Werk 1, the Lokstadt is becoming a largely car-free zone bringing together work, education, housing and leisure. On sites like these, access is regulated rather than a given – we register it in advance.

How an office move works
The basic details or a site visit
The number of workstations, the floor, the lift and the vehicle access at both addresses – by phone or through the form. For larger sites we come and look at it in person.
Fixed quote within 24 hours
Once we have checked the details you receive a fixed quote. It binds us, not you – and your management knows the cost before anything is incurred.
The move outside office hours
We move after hours or at the weekend and leave the workstations assembled and labelled – ready for your IT to plug in.
Why companies come to us
- One contact person from the quote to the last box – reachable daily from 07:00 to 18:00
- A fixed quote within 24 hours that stands up internally
- A team that is at home in Winterthur and knows how to get a lorry to an address in it
- Advice in five languages – useful in teams that do not only speak German
Frequently asked questions about office moves
Can you move us outside office hours?
yes. We schedule office moves for evenings and weekends so your business keeps running. For enquiries and questions we are reachable daily from 07:00 to 18:00.
What does an office move in Winterthur cost?
that depends on the number of workstations, the floor, the lift and the vehicle access at both addresses – a flat rate would be pure guesswork. Once we have checked the basics you therefore receive a fixed quote within 24 hours, and it binds us.
Do you also dispose of the old furniture?
yes. Clearance and disposal are part of what we offer: we take worn-out furniture, bulky waste and electrical appliances away and deliver them, separated, to the right collection point.
Do you also move outside the city of Winterthur?
yes, we work across the whole canton of Zurich – from Winterthur through Zurich, Uster and Dübendorf to Bülach, Wetzikon, Horgen and Schlieren. We also handle relocations to other European countries.
