What We Can Move – And What We Can’t

Items Typically Included

Our office removals teams are trained and equipped to handle:

• Desks, office chairs and meeting room furniture
• Filing cabinets, archive boxes and confidential files (with appropriate safeguards)
• Desktop computers, monitors, laptops and peripherals
• Printers, copiers and standard office machinery
• Reception furniture and display units
• Stock, samples and marketing materials
• Light workshop or studio equipment (by prior arrangement)

Items Typically Excluded

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are normally excluded from our standard service:

• Hazardous or flammable materials (e.g. solvents, fuel, chemicals)
• Live animals or plants in bulk
• Heavy industrial machinery beyond safe manual handling limits
• High-value artworks or antiques without prior declaration and agreement
• Cash, important personal documents or irreplaceable items (these are best carried by you)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on move day.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with the basic details of your move: current and new address, approximate size of office, key dates and any time restrictions. We ask a few targeted questions and provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey for a more accurate quotation. All quotes are clear and itemised so you know exactly what is included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office moves we recommend a detailed survey, either via video call or an onsite visit. During the survey we:

• Assess access, parking and lift usage
• Identify large or fragile items
• Discuss IT and specialist equipment requirements
• Agree timescales, phasing and out-of-hours options

This allows us to plan the right size team, vehicles and packing materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

Prior to move day, we can supply crates or boxes for staff to pack personal and non-essential items. Our team then handles the professional packing of equipment, files and furniture, clearly labelling everything by department, floor or room as agreed. We can also dismantle desks and shelving where needed, keeping all fittings safely together.

4. Loading & Transport

On the scheduled day, our trained movers arrive on time, protect walkways and lifts, and load your items methodically. High-value and fragile equipment is wrapped and secured for transport. We then travel directly to your new premises in our modern, GPS-tracked vehicles, following the agreed timetable.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload and place items according to your floor plan, ensuring that key departments and IT areas are set up first to get your business running again quickly. Where agreed, we reassemble furniture and remove used packing materials for recycling or reuse.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, predictable pricing. Office removal costs are usually based on:

• Volume of furniture, equipment and files
• Access and parking complexity at both sites
• Distance between old and new premises
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Additional services such as packing, crate hire or furniture assembly

Once we have completed your survey, we provide a written quotation with no hidden charges. Any potential extras (such as storage or additional phases) are discussed upfront so you can budget with confidence.

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

Using a professional office removals company is usually more economical than it first appears. A casual man-and-van or DIY approach can lead to:

• Longer downtime and lost working hours
• Inadequate protection for IT equipment and furniture
• Limited or no insurance if something goes wrong
• Poor coordination with building management or concierge teams

Our service is built around minimising disruption. Structured planning, experienced crews and proper insurance help safeguard your business continuity as well as your equipment.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Movers Greenwich operates to high, accountable standards. We are:

• Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your office contents while being moved
• Protected by public liability insurance for work at your premises
• Staffed by trained teams experienced in handling office and IT equipment

We will happily share details of our cover and approach to risk management, and can work alongside your IT provider or facilities manager to protect critical systems and sensitive data.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office contents as if they were our own. On every move we use:

• Protective blankets, wraps and floor coverings
• Specialist trolleys and handling equipment
• Secure strapping and stacking methods inside our vehicles

We are also committed to more sustainable working practices. Wherever possible we:

• Use reusable crates instead of single-use boxes
• Recycle or responsibly dispose of redundant furniture and packaging
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving House with a Home Office

If you are a homeowner or renter working from home, we can move your household contents and office set-up together, ensuring your workspace is prioritised at the new property so you can get back online quickly.

Business Office Relocation

For established businesses, we handle full or partial relocations, departmental moves, and internal re-stacks within the same building. We can schedule evening or weekend moves to reduce disruption to staff and clients.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes a lease ends earlier than expected or a sudden opportunity arises. Subject to availability, we can arrange urgent or short-notice office removals in Greenwich, coordinating quickly with your building management and IT support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Greenwich cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at each property and the distance between locations. A small office moving within Greenwich might be completed in a day with a modest team, while larger, multi-floor moves are priced over several days. After a survey, we provide a detailed, fixed quotation covering labour, vehicles, packing materials and any optional extras, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can support same-day or urgent office removals. The more notice you can give us, the easier it is to allocate the right team and vehicles, but we understand that business situations can change quickly. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as soon as possible with your key details. We will confirm what is realistically achievable and prioritise critical items so your core operations can continue with minimal disruption.

Are my office items insured during the move?

Yes. Your office contents are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved, loaded and unloaded by our team. We also carry public liability insurance for work at both your old and new premises. During the survey we will explain the level of cover, any applicable limits and how to declare particularly high-value items. Our aim is to give you clear, written reassurance that your equipment and furniture are protected throughout the relocation process.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes the provision of a suitable vehicle or vehicles, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading at your new premises. We also protect key items with blankets and wraps as standard. Optional services include full or part packing, crate hire, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and the removal of unwanted items for recycling or disposal. Everything that is included for your particular move will be listed clearly in your written quotation and booking confirmation.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While a man-and-van may be fine for very small, low-value moves, most offices need a more structured approach. We provide trained crews, proper handling equipment, detailed planning, and fully insured transport specifically geared to business relocations. Our team coordinates with building management, understands access and parking issues and works to minimise downtime. This greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays and disruption to your staff, which can be far more costly than the apparent savings of a cheaper, informal service.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For a smooth move, it is best to contact us at least four to six weeks before your preferred date, especially for larger offices or peak periods such as month-end. This allows time for surveys, planning, crate delivery and staff communication. However, we regularly accommodate shorter lead times, particularly for smaller offices or internal moves. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, an early conversation helps us pencil you in and advise on the most practical schedule for your relocation.
