Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You contact us with the basics: current address, new address, approximate size of your office and your preferred move date. We will discuss your requirements, timing, and any access constraints. Based on this initial information we provide an indicative quote, along with guidance on how to prepare for the next steps.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For office moves, a detailed survey is essential. We offer virtual surveys via video call or an onsite visit. We assess volume, layout, stair and lift access, parking, IT equipment, and any dismantling required. This allows us to allocate the right number of trained, professional movers, the right size vehicles, and to provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we pack everything, including IT, files and kitchen contents
- Part-packing – we handle fragile and high-value items; your team packs the rest
- Self-packing – we supply crates, boxes and materials for your team
We use strong crates, padded covers, anti-static protection for electronics, and clear labelling systems so everything arrives and is placed where it should be.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, fully briefed. We protect floors, lifts and common areas, then systematically load your office contents. Desks and furniture are dismantled if required and stored safely on the vehicle. All items are transported in liveried vehicles with goods in transit insurance, secured with straps and blankets to prevent movement.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new office, we unload in line with the agreed floor plan. Desks and furniture are reassembled, crates are placed at the correct workstations, and key items such as reception areas and meeting rooms are prioritised so you can get back up and running quickly. We can also collect empty crates at an agreed time once you have finished unpacking.
Transparent, Fair Pricing for Office Removals
We price office moves transparently, based on:
- Volume of items and number of workstations
- Distance between properties
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking restrictions)
- Level of packing required
- Timing (standard hours, evening, overnight or weekend)
All costs are explained clearly in your written quote. We avoid vague estimates and always aim to flag potential extras, such as additional stair carries or parking fees, in advance. There are no surprise charges on moving day.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
Office moves are complex. Relying on staff or a casual man-and-van often leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress. Professional office movers bring:
- Trained teams who know how to handle IT equipment, heavy desks and tight stairwells
- Specialist equipment such as skates, trolleys and protective covers
- Structured plans and clear timing to minimise disruption
- Fully insured vehicles and liability cover if something goes wrong
- Experience coordinating with building management and security
Using a professional service protects your staff, your equipment and your timetable.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your move seriously. Battersea Movers operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in shared buildings and offices
- Trained moving teams experienced in manual handling and safe working practices
We follow clear procedures for inventory, labelling and load security. Any special requirements can be discussed before the move so we can confirm coverage and, where necessary, arrange extended protection.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to move your office with care for both your equipment and the environment:
- Use of reusable plastic crates to cut down on single-use cardboard
- Furniture blankets, padding and corner protectors to prevent damage
- Thoughtful parking and routing to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Recycling options for unwanted office furniture where practical
Our teams work carefully but efficiently, balancing speed with the level of protection your business assets deserve.
Real-World Office Removal Scenarios We Handle
- Full office relocation – moving a whole team from one Battersea office to another, often over a weekend, with full packing and IT relocation.
- Office downsizing or upsizing – relocating to smaller or larger premises, including safe disposal or storage of surplus furniture.
- Urgent or last-minute moves – when leases change unexpectedly or you need to vacate quickly, we can often mobilise at short notice.
- Internal reconfiguration – moving departments between floors or reorganising layouts without changing address.
Whatever your situation, we create a practical, detailed plan to get you from A to B with minimal disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Battersea cost?
The cost of an office removal depends on volume, distance, access and the level of packing you require. A small office move within Battersea might be completed in a day with a single vehicle and crew, while larger, multi-floor relocations can span several days and require multiple teams. After a survey, we provide a clear, itemised quotation so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to explain how each element of the price is calculated.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Where schedules allow, we can accommodate urgent and short-notice office moves. Availability depends on the size of your relocation and our current bookings, but we always do our best to help, particularly for smaller or local moves within Battersea. If you have a tight deadline, contact us as early as possible with your key dates, sizes and addresses. We will quickly assess what is achievable, outline any limitations, and, if we can assist, put together a fast but realistic moving plan.
What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?
We operate with goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved, as well as public liability cover for work in offices and shared buildings. These policies are designed for standard office contents such as furniture, IT equipment and files. If you have unusually high-value items or specialist equipment, let us know during the survey so we can confirm coverage limits or arrange additional protection if needed. We are happy to provide evidence of our insurance on request before you book.
What exactly is included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes planning, collection, loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, IT equipment and boxed contents. We protect key items, dismantle and reassemble furniture where required, and place everything according to an agreed plan at your new office. Optional extras include crate hire, full or part packing, out-of-hours moves and disposal of unwanted furniture. All inclusions and options are clearly listed in your written quote so you can decide what level of support your business needs.
How is a professional office removal different from a man-and-van service?
A man-and-van may be suitable for very small, simple moves, but most offices benefit from a structured, professional service. We provide trained teams, appropriate vehicles, protective materials, and formal insurance. We also plan the move in detail, coordinate access with both buildings, and label items so everything ends up in the right place. This reduces disruption, protects your staff from heavy lifting, and significantly lowers the risk of damage or delays compared with a basic transport-only service.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For most office moves, we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, especially if you need a weekend or end-of-month date. This allows enough time for surveys, planning, crate delivery and staff communications. However, we understand that lease dates and negotiations do not always go to plan. If your timeline is shorter, contact us as soon as possible. We will check availability, prioritise essential tasks, and create a realistic schedule based on how much notice we have.
