Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your move details: current and new addresses, approximate size of the office, any key dates and access information. We then provide an initial estimate, explain the options and agree the best time for a detailed survey.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We carry out a thorough onsite or virtual survey to understand the volume of goods, access, parking, lift use and any specialist items. For larger moves, we may visit both the old and new offices. This survey allows us to give a clear, written quotation and plan for vehicles, crew and timing.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer several levels of packing:

Full packing service – our team packs everything, including IT (once decommissioned) and files
Part packing service – we pack selected items, you pack the rest
Self-pack – we supply crates and materials, and your team packs

We label crates and furniture clearly by department, floor or room so everything ends up in the right place at the new office.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained crew arrives promptly, protects floors and lifts where necessary, and carefully loads your office contents. Desks and furniture are dismantled where required. All items are blanket-wrapped or protected, and IT equipment is carried and stacked securely. Your goods are then transported in our purpose-equipped vehicles under goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new premises, we unload and place items according to the agreed floor plans. Furniture is reassembled, crates are placed at the correct workstations and meeting rooms, and we work with your managers or IT team to ensure key areas are usable as quickly as possible. Once finished, we can arrange crate collections at agreed times.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We price office removals based on several clear factors:

Size and layout of your office(s)
Volume of furniture, equipment and files
Access, parking and lift/stair use
Distance between addresses
Level of packing and dismantling required
Out-of-hours or weekend working

You receive a written quotation with a detailed breakdown of what is included. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (for example for specialist equipment or parking suspensions) are discussed in advance so you can plan your budget with confidence.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

Moving an office is very different from shifting a few boxes. With a professional office removal service you benefit from:

Planned schedules to minimise business interruption and downtime
Correct handling of IT equipment, furniture and heavy machinery
Fully insured vehicles and staff, protecting your assets
Experienced teams who understand building rules and health & safety
Clear accountability, risk assessments and method statements when required

DIY or casual man-and-van options may be cheaper on paper, but they often lack insurance, planning and capacity, leading to delays, damage and real business costs.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised standards so your business is protected throughout the move.

Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being transported
Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to buildings or third parties
Trained moving teams – experienced staff trained in manual handling, packing, and safe lifting
Method statements and risk assessments for larger or complex moves

Copies of our insurance certificates are available on request, and we are happy to liaise with your building management or facilities team in advance.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office equipment and furniture as if it were our own. Floors, lifts and doorways are protected where needed, and we use appropriate trolleys and lifting equipment to move heavy items safely. IT and delicate equipment are wrapped, secured and kept dry and stable throughout transit.

We also pay attention to sustainability. We re-use crates and packing materials wherever possible, source recyclable materials, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. Where office furniture is being replaced, we can often help coordinate reuse or responsible disposal options through approved partners.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving house with a home office – combining your domestic and professional move into one coordinated service

Urgent and short-notice moves – when leases change suddenly, buildings are refurbished, or you need to vacate quickly
Internal moves – reshuffling teams within the same building, relocating departments or creating new work areas
Fit-out and refurb support – temporary moves while refurbishment works are carried out, including storing items if required

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in London cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at each site and the distance between them. As a guide, small office moves may be completed in a day with a single vehicle and crew, while multi-floor relocations can require several days and a larger team. After a survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation outlining labour, vehicles, packing and any additional services. This transparency allows you to compare like-for-like and budget accurately.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Yes, we regularly assist with short-notice and urgent office moves in London, subject to availability. If you have a tight deadline, contact us as soon as possible with your dates, locations and an outline of what needs moving. We will quickly assess whether we can allocate the right vehicles and crew. While advance booking is always preferable, we understand that lease issues, landlord requirements or emergencies can force rapid moves, and we do our best to accommodate these where safely possible.

Are my office items insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles. In addition, we carry public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to buildings or third parties. Insurance cover is subject to policy terms and conditions, which we are happy to explain. For very high-value or specialist equipment, you may wish to inform your own insurer too, but our standard cover is sufficient for most office moves and gives you peace of mind throughout the relocation.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes planning, loading, transport, unloading and basic placement of furniture and crates. We can also provide packing materials, crate hire, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and packing services for files and general contents. For larger projects, we can work to floor plans, coordinate with your IT and facilities teams, and schedule moves over evenings or weekends. Any additional services, such as storage or specialist handling, are clearly listed in your quotation so you know exactly what is included.

How is a professional office removal different from a man-and-van?

A professional office removal service offers structured planning, trained crews, appropriate vehicles, and formal insurance cover. We conduct surveys, produce written quotations, carry out risk assessments where necessary and provide detailed move plans for your business. Man-and-van services may be suitable for very small, simple moves, but they often lack the capacity, specialist equipment and accountability needed for commercial relocations. Using professionals reduces the risk of damage, delays, health and safety issues and unplanned downtime for your staff.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

For most office moves, we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving at month-end or during busy periods. This gives time for surveys, planning, arranging parking suspensions if required, and coordinating with building management and your own teams. Larger or multi-phase relocations may need a longer lead time. However, we understand that circumstances are not always ideal, so if you have less notice, contact us as soon as possible and we will advise on what is realistically achievable.
