Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Although this page focuses on office moves, our commercial removals service is suitable for a wide range of clients:

Homeowners

Directors and homeowners running businesses from home who need office furniture, files and IT equipment moved as part of a wider house move.

Renters

Freelancers and small-business tenants in serviced or rented offices who must move out on a fixed date and leave the space clear and undamaged.

Landlords

Landlords and managing agents needing office clearances or reconfiguration when tenants move out, including removal of unwanted furniture and careful protection of the fabric of the building.

Businesses

SMEs, corporates, charities, schools and public-sector organisations requiring office relocations, internal moves, floor re-stacks or phased churn projects.

Students

Postgraduate students, researchers and academics moving study spaces, lab desks or small offices between campuses or residential properties.

What We Move In an Office Removal

We handle most standard office contents, including:

• Desks, workstations and benching systems
• Office chairs, meeting room and reception seating
• Pedestals, filing cabinets and storage cupboards
• IT equipment: PCs, monitors, laptops, docking stations, keyboards and peripherals
• Servers, printers, copiers and other office electronics (subject to access and weight limits)
• Document archives, files and boxed records
• Whiteboards, noticeboards and office screens
• Kitchen items: kettles, microwaves, crockery and basic appliances
• Artwork, plants and general office contents

What Is Not Included or May Need Special Arrangements

To protect your property and our teams, some items are excluded, restricted or require advance planning:

• Hazardous materials (chemicals, fuel, gas cylinders, paint, aerosols)
• Large industrial machines beyond standard office equipment
• High-value specialist kit without prior declaration and agreement
• Live animals or biological materials
• Cash, jewellery and other personal valuables (these should be moved by you)
• Ceiling-mounted fixtures, built-in furniture or electrical works that require other trades

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, we will clarify this during the survey and, where possible, suggest suitable arrangements.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your move details: locations, approximate size of office, key dates and any deadlines. We will discuss your requirements, timing constraints and any building restrictions, then provide an initial guideline quotation and outline plan so you can budget effectively.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office moves we carry out a detailed survey, either onsite or via video. We assess access, stairs and lifts, parking, IT and furniture volumes, and any specialist items. This allows us to allocate the right number of trained movers, vehicles and materials and to agree a realistic schedule, including any out-of-hours or weekend work to minimise disruption.

3. Packing & Preparation

We can provide a full packing service using office crates and materials, or supply crates and labels for your staff to self-pack. Our teams carefully wrap and protect furniture, monitors and delicate items. We label crates and items by department, floor and desk position so that everything can be placed correctly at the new site, following your floor plans.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our professional crew arrives on time, protects common areas where needed and loads systematically. All items are secured within our vehicles to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are protected by goods in transit insurance, and we drive planned routes that take account of traffic, roadworks and vehicle restrictions.

5. Unloading, Placement & Reassembly

At the new office we unload in line with your move plan and floor layout. Desks, chairs and furniture are positioned as agreed, and we can provide basic dismantling and reassembly of standard items where required. We place crates, IT and files at the correct workstations or departments, helping your staff to get back to normal operations quickly.

Transparent and Fair Pricing

Office removals are priced based on several factors:

• Size and complexity of the move (number of staff and workstations)
• Volume of furniture, IT kit and files
• Access at both properties (floors, lifts, parking distance)
• Travel distance between locations
• Any packing service required and crate hire
• Out-of-hours or weekend working

After the survey you receive a clear, written quotation setting out what is included, any optional services and our terms. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs, such as long carries due to restricted parking, are explained in advance.

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

Using a structured, professional removals company for an office move offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring an informal man-and-van:

• Experienced planning to reduce disruption and downtime
• Use of appropriate equipment and vehicles to protect your assets
• Fully insured service with written terms and clear responsibilities
• Trained crews used to handling IT equipment and confidential materials
• Proper risk assessments and public liability cover for your building and staff safety
• Faster, more efficient moves, allowing your team to stay focused on their jobs

DIY moves often result in damage, delays and health and safety risks. With Moving Furniture, you have a clearly defined plan, a dedicated point of contact and a team whose day job is moving offices efficiently and safely.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Your business property is valuable, and we take protecting it seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your office contents while they are on our vehicles
• Public liability cover protecting your premises and third parties during the move
• Trained, experienced staff familiar with office environments and IT handling
• Use of high-quality packing materials and protection for furniture and premises
• Adherence to safe working practices and manual handling guidelines

Details of cover levels and any specific exclusions are available on request, and we recommend that you inform your own insurer of the planned move.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Working

Careful handling is at the heart of how we work. We protect floors, doors and lifts where necessary and use padded covers, crates and wraps for furniture and IT equipment. We load strategically to prevent movement in transit, and we treat confidential materials with discretion and respect.

We also aim to operate responsibly. Where possible, we use reusable plastic crates rather than single-use cartons, and we consolidate journeys to reduce unnecessary mileage. When you have surplus furniture, we can help by directing it towards reuse schemes or licensed recycling partners rather than landfill, where practical.

Real-World Office Removals and Related Use Cases

Moving Office Within the Same Building

Internal moves, such as reshuffling floors or departments, often require as much planning as external relocations. We can provide a team to move desks, IT and files between floors or wings, often outside of working hours, so your staff return to a ready-to-use workspace.

Full Office Relocation

When changing premises, we support you from initial planning through to final placement, working closely with your managers, IT team and building management. Phased moves, where departments relocate in stages, can be organised to suit your business priorities.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes circumstances force a rapid change of premises – lease issues, unexpected growth or building problems. Subject to availability, we can arrange urgent or short-notice office moves, providing enough labour and vehicles to get you out of your old premises safely and into the new space as quickly as practicable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals cost?

The cost of an office removal depends on the size and complexity of your move, access at each property, distance between locations and whether you require packing and crate hire. After a survey we will provide a fixed-price quotation that details what is included, such as labour, vehicles, packing materials and any out-of-hours working. Smaller office moves may be completed in a single day, while larger, multi-floor projects can be phased. We always aim to give a realistic, transparent price with no hidden charges.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We can often help with same-day or urgent office moves, depending on the size of the job and our existing bookings. For smaller offices, internal moves or clearance-type work, we may be able to respond at short notice. Larger relocations usually require at least a brief survey and planning meeting, even when time is tight. If you have an urgent requirement, contact us as soon as possible with your dates, locations and any critical deadlines so we can confirm what’s achievable and allocate the right team.

What insurance cover do you provide?

Your office contents are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and by our public liability cover while we are working on your premises. This provides protection against accidental damage to your property or building during the move. We are happy to share details of policy limits and any exclusions before you book. We also recommend that you check your own business insurance, especially for high-value specialist equipment, and notify your insurer of the planned move.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes experienced movers, vehicles, protective materials for furniture, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We place furniture, crates and equipment into the correct rooms or departments as agreed in advance. Optional extras include a full packing service, crate hire, dismantling and reassembly of standard office furniture and out-of-hours or weekend working. Your written quotation will clearly list what is included, so you know exactly what to expect on move day.

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

A professional removals company provides trained crews, appropriate equipment, fully insured services and structured planning. For offices, this means handling IT safely, protecting confidential documents, coordinating with building management and minimising downtime. A casual man-and-van service may be adequate for a few items, but usually lacks detailed planning, insurance cover suitable for business moves and the manpower needed for larger projects. Choosing a professional team reduces risk, prevents damage and helps ensure your staff can get back to work quickly.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

For most office removals we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, particularly if you need to move on a specific date, overnight or at a weekend. This allows time for surveys, access checks, crate delivery and coordination with your IT and facilities teams. However, we understand that business circumstances can change quickly, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer for dates and planning.
