London's office relocation specialists
Office removals in London, planned properly
Moving office in London is unlike moving anywhere else in the UK. Congestion charges, ULEZ rules, red routes, restricted loading bays, shared goods lifts and landlords who only allow works after 6pm all shape how a move has to run. Office Removals London exists to handle that complexity for you, so your team can focus on the business while we take care of the logistics.
We are a dedicated commercial removals company — we don't do house moves on the side. Every crew member is trained in office furniture systems, IT handling and working discreetly in occupied buildings. Whether you're a five-person agency in Shoreditch or a 300-seat headquarters moving across the City, you get the same written move plan, the same named move manager and the same fixed price.
Why London businesses choose our office removal service
- Zero-downtime moves. Most relocations take place on Friday evening and over the weekend so staff finish in one office and start in the next on Monday.
- IT moved first. Servers and comms go in before furniture, giving your IT team time to test connectivity. See our IT relocation service.
- Fixed, transparent prices. Small moves from £450 + VAT and full-service office moves from £1,180 + VAT. Compare options on our pricing page.
- One point of contact. A named move manager runs the survey, plan, move and snagging walk-round.
- Responsible disposal. Unwanted furniture and electronics are reused, recycled or disposed of with full paperwork through our office clearance team.
How much do office removals in London cost?
Office removal prices in London depend on volume, access and timing rather than distance alone. A small office move of up to around ten desks starts at £450 + VAT and covers a two-person crew with a van. A full-service office relocation — with project management, crate hire, labelling, IT handling and furniture reassembly — starts from £1,180 + VAT. Our detailed office move cost guide explains every factor, from lift access to parking suspensions.

Areas of London we cover
Our base is at 53 Sandgate St, London SE15 1LE in Peckham, South East London. We carry out office removals across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, including the City, Canary Wharf, the West End, Mayfair, Soho, Holborn, King's Cross, Shoreditch, Farringdon, Southwark, London Bridge, Paddington, Hammersmith, Stratford and Croydon, as well as business parks inside the M25. We regularly move companies into and out of London from across the South East too.
How to plan a successful office move
The best office moves start around twelve weeks before the date. Book your removal company early, order new broadband lines (these can take 60+ days), and appoint one internal move coordinator. Our free office move checklist and 12-week relocation timeline walk you through every step, while the IT relocation checklist and office packing guide cover the details that trip most businesses up. Leaving a lease? Don't forget dilapidations.
Recent office removal projects
Our team has moved a Burger King office from London to Switzerland, relocated a whole school in Surrey (every classroom and all the classroom furniture) and moved an entire London cinema, dismantling, moving and reassembling all of its seating. Read more about our projects.
Industries we move
Law firms, accountancy and financial services, tech and SaaS companies, creative agencies, medical and dental clinics, charities, schools, co-working operators and public-sector teams. Each has different needs — confidential files, sensitive equipment, client-facing reception areas — and our move plans reflect that.
What a successful office move looks like
Every business measures a move by the same outcomes. Before we quote, we agree with you what "done" means, and the move plan is built backwards from those goals:
- Minimal downtime. Staff finish work in the old office and start in the new one with no lost working days. Most moves run Friday 6pm to Sunday afternoon.
- Business continuity. Phones divert, email keeps flowing and client-facing teams stay reachable. We phase moves department by department where a single weekend isn't enough.
- Systems live on schedule. Servers, switches and comms cabinets move first, so your IT provider has hours — not minutes — to test before staff arrive.
- Everything in the right place. Colour-coded labels match crates, chairs and monitors to numbered desks on the new floor plan. Nobody hunts for their equipment on Monday.
- Good staff morale. Clear packing instructions, a simple FAQ for employees and crates delivered early mean the move feels organised, not chaotic.
- No disruption to customers. Your clients shouldn't notice you've moved — apart from the new address on your emails.
Small office removals in London
Not every business needs a project manager and a fleet of lorries. For studios, startups, consultancies and serviced-office tenants with up to around ten desks, our small office move service starts at £450 + VAT. You get a two-person crew and a clean, protected van, with blankets, trolleys and wrapping included. We can often book at short notice, including evenings, so you can move at the end of a working day.
Small moves still get the details right: we dismantle and rebuild desks, carry monitors in padded crates and protect lift walls and floors at both buildings. Moving from one serviced office or co-working space to another? Building managers usually need a certificate of insurance and a booked goods-lift slot — our serviced office moving guide explains what to ask for, and we'll supply our paperwork on request.
Office furniture removal and reconfiguration
Furniture is usually the biggest part of an office move by volume. Our crews regularly handle bench and cluster desks, electric sit-stand desks, pedestals, tambour units, lockers, boardroom tables, reception counters, soft seating and acoustic phone pods. Everything is dismantled with the right tools, parts are bagged and labelled per desk, and items are rebuilt to your new layout rather than simply dropped in a room.
If you're downsizing or changing to hybrid working, you may not need all of your existing furniture. We can move what you keep, send the rest to storage, and clear surplus items through our office clearance service, prioritising reuse and recycling over landfill. Full details are on our furniture dismantling and reassembly page.
Storage for your office move
Lease dates rarely line up perfectly. When your new office isn't ready, when a fit-out overruns or when you simply have too much to take with you, our commercial storage keeps furniture, equipment and archive boxes safe until you need them. Items are inventoried on the way in so you can call off exactly what you need later — a few desks for new starters, or a box of files for an audit — without paying for everything to come back at once.
IT relocation: the part of an office move that matters most
An office can function without its sofas on Monday morning; it can't function without its network. That's why IT is the first thing we plan and the first thing we move. Working with your IT provider, we disconnect and label every workstation, carry PCs and monitors in anti-static crates, move server and comms equipment separately in a dedicated vehicle, and reconnect desk by desk to a numbered plan. Our IT relocation service and free IT relocation checklist cover backups, broadband lead times and the Monday-morning test that catches problems before your staff do.
Packing: full service or pack it yourself
You choose how much packing you want us to do. Many businesses ask staff to pack their own desk items and files — it keeps costs down and people know their own things best. We deliver reusable plastic crates 7–10 days before the move, along with labels, seals and simple instructions. For shared areas like kitchens, stationery cupboards, archives and reception, or when your team is too busy, our crews pack everything for you. See crate hire and packing and our step-by-step guide to packing an office.
Will our desks be set up the same way in the new office?
Yes — or differently, if you prefer. Before the move we agree a floor plan for the new space. Each desk gets a number, and that number goes on every crate, chair, monitor and pedestal belonging to that person. On move night our crew rebuilds furniture and places equipment on the right desk, so staff arrive to their own setup ready to plug in. If you're changing layouts, hot-desking or adding meeting rooms, we'll set up to the new plan instead.
Internal office moves and reshuffles
Moving teams between floors, merging departments or clearing a floor for refurbishment is still a move, even if the address stays the same. Our internal office moves run evenings and weekends in occupied buildings, with lift protection and careful handling around the people and equipment that aren't moving.
When should you get an office removals quote?
As early as possible — ideally two to three months before your move date, and sooner for large or multi-floor moves. Month-end and quarter-end weekends book up quickly across London because so many leases end on those dates. An early survey also flags access problems (small lifts, no loading bay, parking restrictions) while there is still time to solve them, for example by applying for a parking suspension from the local council. Our 12-week office relocation timeline shows what to do and when.
How to choose an office removal company in London
Price matters, but the cheapest quote can become the most expensive move if things go wrong. When comparing London office removal companies, ask:
- Do they specialise in commercial moves? Office moves need different skills, equipment and planning from house removals.
- Did they survey the site? A reliable fixed quote needs someone to see both buildings, in person or by video.
- Is the price fixed and in writing? Check what's included — crates, labels, dismantling, parking, disposal — and what could cost extra.
- How do they handle IT? Ask how servers and computers are packed, moved and reconnected.
- What insurance do they hold? Ask for certificates of goods-in-transit and public liability insurance; most landlords require them.
- Who will manage the move? One named contact from survey to sign-off makes everything simpler.
- What happens to unwanted items? Look for proper waste paperwork and a reuse-first approach.
Office move tips from our move managers
- Appoint one internal move coordinator with authority to make decisions.
- Order broadband and phone lines for the new office the moment you sign the lease — lead times can exceed 60 days.
- Book goods lifts and loading bays at both buildings in writing.
- Declutter before you pack: every box you don't move saves time and money.
- Back up all data before IT is disconnected.
- Give staff a simple packing guide and a deadline.
- Update your address with clients, suppliers, your bank, HMRC, Companies House and your Google Business Profile.
- Plan your exit: check your lease for dilapidations and reinstatement obligations.
