FAQs

Quick answers on buying new and used office furniture, delivery, planning and our services.

Delivery and installation

How delivery works, where we deliver and how to prepare.

No. Deliveries with installation are carried out by NOE’s own staff in NOE’s own vehicles, so it’s always one of us.

Planning and interior design

Free planning service and office design.

Yes. Planning is free for all business customers, with no obligation to buy from us afterwards.

Any business customer, from sole traders to large companies.

A floor plan or room measurements, your headcount and any must-haves, such as a meeting room or quiet area. Photos help too.

We can work from your own measurements or floor plans.

Planning covers the layout: what fits, where it goes and what to buy. Interior design adds zones, colours, finishes and the overall look. You can start with a free plan and add design later.

Yes. We can plan with new, pre-owned or a mix, and show how each option affects the layout and cost.

The design is built around furniture we supply and install, which is where it’s most useful.

Yes. We choose desk finishes, fabrics and accent colours to suit your brand, and upholster refurbished chairs in our own workshop to match.

Yes. Small spaces often gain the most: compact or multi-use desks, tall storage to free up floor space, and lighter colours to keep the room feeling open.

Usually fewer fixed desks, more shared workstations, quiet spots for calls and meeting spaces that work for people joining remotely, based on how many people are in on a typical day.

Yes. Good-quality used furniture sits well alongside new pieces, keeps costs down and reuses furniture with plenty of life left in it.

Office fit-out and relocation

Complete fit-outs and office moves, handled by one team.

It depends on your space, how much furniture you need and whether you choose new, pre-owned or a mix. Pre-owned usually costs considerably less. We quote for exactly what’s planned, with no obligation.

With new and used furniture in stock, many projects move quickly. New furniture from a manufacturer takes longer. We’ll give a realistic timescale when we quote.

Yes. Our Abbeyfield Road showroom is open Monday to Friday 08:00–17:00 and Saturday 09:00–13:00. Come in, try the chairs and look at finishes.

Yes. Most of our work is in Nottingham and the East Midlands, including Derby and Leicester, but we’ve supplied furniture nationwide for over 50 years.

We can discuss clearing your existing furniture as part of the fit-out, so the old goes out and the new comes in with minimal disruption.

Our fit-outs centre on office furniture: planning, supply and installation.

It depends on office size, distance, how much is moving and any extra services. We’ll quote once we understand the job.

Small offices can often move quickly; larger moves may be phased. We’ll agree a timetable at the planning stage.

As early as you can, so we can plan properly and secure your preferred dates.

We can plan a new layout, supply extra new or used furniture, and collect anything you no longer need.

Yes. We work across the East Midlands, including Derby and Leicester, and have supplied businesses across the UK.

Removal and recycling

Clearing old office furniture responsibly.

We assess it at our Abbeyfield Road site. Good pieces can be refurbished and resold; anything that can’t be reused is recycled where possible.

It depends on type, brand, condition and quantity. Send us photos and details and we’ll let you know.

Every clearance is different, so we quote on volume, access and how much can be reused.

We regularly work across Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and the East Midlands. Further afield, get in touch and we’ll let you know what’s possible.

Our focus is office furniture. If you also have IT or electrical equipment to dispose of, mention it when you enquire.
