Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Our service is flexible enough to support a wide range of clients, including:

Homeowners Working From Home

If you run a business from a home office, we can move your work area with the same care as a commercial space – desks, files, printers and computers all securely packed and clearly labelled, so you can get back up and running quickly.

Renters and Shared Offices

For rented offices, co-working spaces and serviced offices, we’re used to dealing with building rules, lift bookings and tight time windows. We’ll liaise with you and, if required, your building manager to ensure everything is done properly and on time.

Landlords and Property Managers

We assist landlords and property managers with clearing offices between tenancies, removing unwanted furniture and preparing spaces for new occupants. We can work to strict deadlines and provide documentation on items removed where needed.

Businesses of All Sizes

From sole traders and small start-ups to larger offices, professional practices and retail or studio spaces, we adapt our team and vehicle size to match your move. We regularly move:

• Professional services (solicitors, accountants, consultants)
• Creative studios and agencies
• Medical, dental and therapy rooms (non-clinical equipment)
• Retail back offices and stock rooms

Students and Small Workspaces

If you’re a student or freelancer with a small office or studio in St Johns Wood, our small office removals and man and van style options are ideal – cost-effective, fast and scaled to your exact requirements.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

Our office removals service usually covers:

• Desks, chairs, meeting tables and reception furniture

• Printers, scanners, copiers and standard office electronics
• Office kitchen items (kettles, microwaves, small appliances)

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or email with your basic details: current and new address, approximate size of office, preferred moving date and any time constraints. We’ll ask a few focused questions to understand your requirements and provide an initial outline quote, subject to survey for larger or more complex moves.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office removals, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, lifts, staircases and the volume of furniture and equipment. We’ll discuss any IT or specialist items and your priorities on the day. Following the survey, we provide a clear written quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer both full packing and part-packing options. Our team can supply professional boxes, crates, bubble wrap and IT protection, or we can work with materials you’ve already sourced. Desks and larger furniture can be dismantled where needed. Everything is labelled logically to match your new office layout, making set-up quicker at the other end.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained team arrive on time, protect floors and communal areas as required, and load your items systematically. We use padded furniture covers, monitor bags, straps and trolleys to keep items secure. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles, and we drive carefully, planning routes to avoid unnecessary delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload and place items in the agreed rooms or desk areas. Furniture that we dismantled will be reassembled where possible. We can work from your floor plan or simple instructions on the day. Before we leave, we’ll check that the key items are in place so you can restart work with minimal disruption.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of the move
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Distance between properties
• Access complexity (stairs, lifts, restricted parking)
• Packing services and materials, if required
• Any out-of-hours or weekend working

Your written quotation will specify exactly what is included, so you know where you stand. If your requirements change before move day, let us know and we’ll update the quote accordingly, avoiding surprises on the invoice.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Trying to move an office yourself or relying on a casual man-with-a-van often leads to lost time, damaged equipment and unnecessary stress. Professional office removals provide:

• Trained staff who know how to handle IT and furniture safely
• Proper equipment – trolleys, ramps, straps and protective covers
• Planned timings to minimise business downtime
• Documented agreements and insurance cover
• Compliance with building rules and health & safety

When you factor in staff time, potential damage and disruption, a professional service is often the more cost-effective and less risky option.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your business assets are important, so we take protection seriously. Man and a Van St Johns Wood operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicles (subject to policy terms)
• Public liability cover – protecting you and third parties while we work on your premises
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff who follow safe lifting practices

We treat your office equipment as if it were our own, and we’re happy to explain our cover in plain language so you know exactly how you’re protected.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We use high-quality protective materials to keep your equipment and furniture safe, including padded covers, corner protectors and proper packing for electronics. Floors and walls are protected where necessary to avoid scuffs or damage.

Where possible, we aim to work in a more sustainable way by:

• Reusing strong crates and durable moving equipment
• Encouraging clients to return or recycle boxes
• Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage

We can also remove and dispose of unwanted office furniture responsibly, arranging recycling or reuse where feasible.

Typical Office Removals Use Cases

Moving to a New Office

Whether you’re expanding into a larger space or downsizing, we’ll help you plan your move so key departments are operational as quickly as possible. We can work to phased plans if you’re relocating in stages.

Internal Office Moves

If you’re reorganising teams within the same building, we can handle internal moves – relocating desks, storage and equipment between floors or rooms with minimal disturbance.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes circumstances change quickly. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice office removals in St Johns Wood and across London. Call us to check availability and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in St Johns Wood cost?

The cost of office removals depends on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both addresses and the distance travelled. Smaller moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger relocations are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. Additional services such as packing, materials and weekend working can affect the total. We always provide a clear written quote in advance, so you know exactly what you’re paying for and can budget with confidence.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Yes, where our schedule and staffing allow, we can support same-day or short-notice office removals in St Johns Wood and the surrounding areas. Urgent moves are best handled over the phone so we can quickly check availability, understand your priorities and give you a realistic timeframe. While advance booking is recommended, we know that leases, emergencies and unexpected changes happen, and we’ll always do our best to offer a practical, safe solution rather than over-promising and under-delivering.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work at your premises. These policies are designed to provide reassurance against the unexpected, although they do have limits and exclusions, as with any insurance. We’re happy to discuss the details before you book and, if you have high-value or specialist equipment, we’ll advise whether you should notify your own insurer or arrange additional cover for complete peace of mind.

What’s included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment, boxes and agreed items between addresses. We provide protective covers and handling equipment as part of the service. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of crates and packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours or weekend moves. Your written quotation will clearly list what’s included so there’s no confusion on the day. If you need something specific, just mention it during the survey so we can build it into the plan.

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

While we do offer flexible van-based services, our office removals are planned and managed more thoroughly than a casual man-and-van. You get trained movers, appropriate insurance, proper equipment and a clear process, from survey through to placement of items at your new office. We understand how offices work, how to protect IT equipment and how to coordinate with building rules and time restrictions. This reduces the risk of delays, damage and disruption, giving you a more reliable and professional outcome overall.

How far in advance should I book my office removal?

For most office moves, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or require packing services. This allows time for a proper survey, planning and coordination with your building management. However, we appreciate that businesses sometimes face tight deadlines, so we’ll always try to fit you in at shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more choice of dates you’ll have and the easier it is to plan a smooth, disruption-free move.
