Dental equipment relocation for UK practices moving premises or refurbishing: chairs, OPG and CBCT units, compressors, suction and autoclaves are disconnected, moved, reinstalled and retested so they work as they did before. X-ray units and sterilisers get the re-checks UK rules require before clinical use.
Moving dental equipment without losing settings, warranties or compliance records.
Chairs, OPG units, scanners and compressors packed and secured to prevent damage to arms, tubeheads and electronics in transit.
Every water, suction, drain, air, electrical and network connection is labelled and photographed before it is undone, so reinstallation starts from a record instead of memory.
Each unit is reinstalled to the manufacturer's instructions, with backflow protection on dental unit water feeds and electrics certified to BS 7671 at the new site.
Every chair, suction pump and compressor is tested under load. A moved X-ray unit needs a new critical examination with your RPA under IRR17, and a moved steriliser should be revalidated before clinical use.

The same sequence for a single surgery or a whole practice.
Equipment listed with serial numbers, connections photographed and fragile or out-of-warranty items flagged. The new site is checked for services and access.
Sequence, vehicles, downtime and the services needed at the new site written up and shared with your practice manager and builder.
Services isolated and capped, units partly dismantled where needed and settings and software licences recorded.
Equipment packed and moved with a manifest, and you are kept informed throughout.
Units reinstalled, connected, calibrated and tested; X-ray critical examination and steriliser revalidation arranged before clinical use.
Common questions from UK practices planning a move or refurbishment.
Dental chairs and delivery units, intraoral, OPG and CBCT X-ray units, intraoral scanners, autoclaves and washer-disinfectors, compressors, central suction and amalgam separators, and lab equipment such as mills and furnaces.
It depends on the number of surgeries and whether the new site is ready. Single-surgery moves can often be done over a weekend; whole practices take longer. Phasing the move can keep part of the practice open. Contact us to plan dates.
Check with your own practice insurer how equipment is covered in transit; your quote sets out who is responsible for transport. We record the condition of every item with photos and serial numbers before disconnection, and you sign an inventory at collection and delivery.
Moving premises affects your CQC registration, which must reflect the new location, and your HSE registration for X-ray work and local rules need updating. A moved X-ray unit also needs a new critical examination. We help you plan these steps alongside the move.
