Office Removals

Office Removals by Soho Movers

At Soho Movers, we provide organised, low-disruption office removals for businesses of all sizes. From small creative studios to multi-floor corporate spaces, our role is to move your workplace safely, keep downtime to a minimum, and ensure your team is up and running again as quickly as possible.

We combine strong local knowledge with proven project management, trained moving crews and fully insured transport to deliver a smooth, predictable office move every time.

Local Expertise for Office Removals in Your Area

Our teams work across central London and surrounding areas every day, so we understand loading restrictions, parking rules, building access issues and lift bookings inside out. We coordinate with building management, arrange parking suspensions where needed, and plan timings to avoid peak traffic whenever possible.

Whether you are moving within the same building, across town or consolidating multiple sites into one, we build the move plan around your specific location, access and business needs.

Who Our Office Removal Service Is For

Although this is an office-focused service, we regularly support a wide range of clients:

• Homeowners running businesses from home who are moving into or out of dedicated office space.
• Renters in serviced offices or co-working spaces who need a fast, tidy move with minimal disruption to shared areas.
• Landlords and managing agents coordinating incoming or outgoing tenants, including clearances and reconfiguration of office layouts.
• Businesses of all sizes – from start-ups and charities to professional firms and corporate headquarters.
• Students and freelancers moving studio setups, IT equipment or creative workspaces.

If you are responsible for an office, studio, clinic, practice or shared workspace, this service is designed for you.

What’s Included in Our Office Removals

We tailor every move to your layout and operations, but a typical office removal can include:

• Office furniture: desks, chairs, meeting tables, shelving, reception furniture and storage units.
• IT and AV equipment: desktop computers, monitors, servers, phones, printers, photocopiers, TV screens and conferencing equipment.
• Documents and archives: boxed files, archive collections and secure document containers.
• Kitchen and breakout items: fridges, microwaves, coffee machines, sofas and soft seating.
• Decor and specialist items: whiteboards, artwork, samples, stock and small machinery.

What’s Excluded or Requires Prior Agreement

For safety and compliance, some items are excluded or require advance planning:

• Hazardous materials (chemicals, gas bottles, fuel, paint thinners).
• Large industrial machinery and plant not suitable for standard handling.
• Safes above certain weight limits or requiring specialist lifting.
• High-value artwork or specialist equipment without prior declaration.
• Live plants in very poor condition or heavily infested with pests.

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey and propose a safe solution wherever possible.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with an outline of your move: locations, approximate size of the office, key dates and any time restrictions. We discuss your priorities – such as weekend moves, phased moves by department, or keeping critical systems running – and provide an initial estimate. For straightforward office moves, we can often give a clear fixed-price quote at this stage.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most office removals, we carry out a detailed survey, either via video call or onsite visit. We assess access, lifts, stairwells, parking, IT equipment, furniture volume and any dismantling required. We also note building rules, security procedures and health & safety considerations. This allows us to allocate the right size crew, vehicles and materials, and provide a firm written quotation with a clear plan.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer full or partial packing services tailored to your office. Our professional teams can pack IT equipment, label crates by department, protect furniture, and dismantle desks and shelving as required. If you prefer to pack yourselves, we supply crates, boxes and labels in advance, along with simple guidance so everything is ready on move day and clearly marked for the new location.

4. Loading & Transport

On the agreed date and time, our trained crew arrives, conducts a brief walk-through with your representative, and begins loading. All items are protected with blankets, wraps and specialist covers. IT equipment is handled with particular care. We load systematically, usually by department or area, so unloading at the destination is efficient. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new premises, we unload items directly to their designated rooms or desk areas in line with your floor plan. Furniture is reassembled, and labelled crates are placed with the correct teams. We work with your IT staff or providers to place equipment in the right positions ready for reconnection. Before leaving, we walk through the site with you to ensure everything is where it should be and remove our surplus materials.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals

Our pricing is based on a clear set of factors: volume of items, access at both sites, distance between locations, level of packing service, timing (weekdays, evenings or weekends) and any special handling requirements. We do not charge hidden fees; all expected costs are explained in your written quotation.

For some small offices or internal moves, we can work on a competitive hourly rate. Larger or multi-phase projects are usually quoted on a fixed-price basis so you can budget confidently. We are always happy to break down the quote so you can see how each element contributes to the total.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Using staff cars, borrowed vans or casual labour often seems cheaper, but it introduces hidden costs and risks. Professional office removals minimise disruption, reduce the risk of injury to staff, and protect expensive equipment. Our trained teams know how to move IT systems, heavy furniture and awkward items safely through busy buildings without damage.

We also manage access, parking, lift protection and health & safety requirements, which are easy to overlook. With us handling the move, your team can focus on their work instead of lifting, carrying and troubleshooting logistics.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Soho Movers operates to high professional standards with appropriate cover in place:

• Goods in transit insurance protects your office contents while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values.
• Public liability cover provides protection in the event of accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
• Trained moving teams use correct lifting techniques, handling methods and protective materials to reduce the risk of damage or injury.

We can provide copies of our insurance details on request and are happy to liaise with your building management or risk team where needed.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office equipment and premises with the same care we would give our own. We use floor protection, door covers and appropriate packing to prevent scuffs and damage. IT equipment and sensitive items receive extra padding and secure stacking.

We are also committed to working as sustainably as practical: reusable crates where suitable, recycled packing materials, and route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage. Where you are disposing of unwanted furniture or equipment, we can help arrange responsible clearance and recycling through approved partners.

Real-World Office Removal Use Cases

Moving to a New Office

Whether you are upsizing or downsizing, we coordinate your move so teams can leave one workplace and arrive at another with minimal disruption. Moves can be phased by department or completed over a weekend to avoid lost working days.

Internal Reconfiguration and Floor Moves

If you are moving teams between floors or reconfiguring open-plan layouts, we handle furniture moves, desk swaps, and temporary storage. This is ideal for refurbishments, new ways-of-working projects or merging departments.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes leases change, landlords set tight deadlines, or you need to vacate quickly. Subject to availability, we can support urgent office removals, prioritising core furniture and IT so you can keep operating. We will always be honest about what can be achieved in the time available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals cost?

The cost depends on the size of your office, access at both properties, distance between sites, and the level of packing and dismantling required. Smaller offices in the same building may be moved within a few hours, while larger multi-floor moves are priced as full-day or multi-day projects. Following a survey, we provide a clear written quote, either fixed price or hourly for simpler moves. This will detail what is included so you can compare options and budget accurately.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We can often accommodate urgent or short-notice office removals, particularly for smaller spaces or internal moves. Availability will depend on our schedule, crew size and vehicles already committed, so contacting us as early as possible is important. When we do accept a short-notice job, we prioritise essential items – such as IT, key desks and meeting areas – to keep your business functional. We will discuss realistic timeframes with you so expectations are clear from the outset.

What insurance cover do you provide?

Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work at your premises. Our policies are designed for commercial removals and we can share details on request. We do ask that any particularly high-value items or sensitive equipment are declared in advance so we can confirm cover and, if necessary, recommend additional protection. Our trained teams work carefully to minimise the need to rely on insurance in the first place.

What’s included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes planning, professional loading and unloading, transport between your old and new offices, and placement of items in the correct rooms or areas. We can also provide packing materials, full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and crate hire for documents and IT. Protective measures such as floor and lift protection are included where appropriate. Any exclusions or additional services – such as disposal of unwanted items – will be outlined clearly in your quotation so you know exactly what to expect.

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

A casual man-and-van service typically offers basic transport only, often without specialist packing materials, formal insurance or experience of managing larger offices. A professional office removal service includes planning, trained crews, appropriate vehicles and equipment, and structured loading and unloading so departments can restart quickly. We liaise with building managers, handle access and parking, and work to agreed risk and safety standards. This reduces the chance of damage, delays and disruption, which can easily outweigh any apparent cost savings from a more informal option.

How far in advance should I book my office removal?

For most office moves, we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, particularly if you need a specific weekend or overnight slot. This gives time for surveys, building approvals, IT planning and crate delivery. Larger or multi-phase relocations may require longer lead times. That said, we understand that circumstances change and we will always do our best to help with shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the more options we will have for dates, crew sizes and detailed planning.
