• Heavy safes or fireproof cabinets above safe weight limits

If you're unsure about specific items, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on move day.

Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with your key details: current address, destination, rough inventory, preferred dates and any time restrictions. We’ll discuss your requirements and provide an initial estimate or, for larger moves, arrange a more detailed survey. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras for normal access and working hours.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We carry out either a video survey or an onsite visit at your Pratts Bottom premises. Here we assess access, parking, lift use, staircases, size and quantity of items, and any specialist handling required. This allows us to plan the right team, vehicle size and time scale, and to confirm a firm quote for the work.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer several levels of packing:

• Full packing service – We pack all workstations, files and equipment using strong crates or cartons.
• Part packing service – We pack specified areas such as IT or archives; your staff pack personal items.
• Self-packing – You pack; we supply materials if required.

Furniture is dismantled as needed and items are labelled carefully so they end up in the right place at your new office.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and doors, and loads your office contents using trolleys, dollies and padded covers. IT and fragile items are wrapped and secured for transport. Vehicles are clean, well-maintained and correctly sized, and your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance for the duration of the move.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new premises, we unload and place items according to your floorplan. Desks and furniture are reassembled, crates are placed at the correct workstations and agreed areas, and we remove our packing materials and waste at the end. The aim is that your team can sit down and get back to work with minimal delay.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals

Every business move is different, so we price based on:

• Volume of furniture, equipment and files
• Access and distance between properties
• Level of packing service required
• Timing (standard weekday, evening, weekend or staged move)
• Any specialist items or additional services

We provide clear, written quotes explaining what is included. We avoid vague hourly estimates for complex office moves unless specifically requested, so you can budget confidently.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Trying to move an office with a casual man-and-van or staff cars often leads to delays, damage and lost productivity. Professional office removals give you:

• A structured plan and clear timetable
• Fully insured transport and handling
• Trained crews using the right equipment
• Proper protection for IT, furniture and premises
• Less time your staff spend lifting, driving and organising

A poorly managed move can cost more in downtime and damaged equipment than a professional service ever will. We focus on doing it once and doing it properly.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man with Van Pratts Bottom operates to recognised professional standards for business moves. We provide:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises.
• Trained moving teams experienced in office and commercial relocations.
• Detailed risk assessments and method statements for larger or more complex moves.

We are happy to share copies of our insurance certificates and documentation for your records or building management.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office contents and premises with the same care we would give our own. That includes:

• Using mattress-style covers for chairs and soft furnishings
• Wrapping IT and fragile items with padded protection
• Floor and wall protection where needed
• Careful labelling to avoid misplaced items

We also take a practical approach to sustainability: reusing strong crates and protective materials where possible, offering crate hire instead of single-use boxes, and grouping local moves to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.

Real-World Office Removal Use Cases

Moving to a Larger Office

Growing teams in Pratts Bottom often need more space. We can manage phased moves so departments relocate in stages, keeping your business running while you scale up.

Internal Reorganisation

Sometimes you are not changing address but reorganising floors or departments. We handle internal moves, furniture reshuffles and temporary decants during refurbishments.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Leases, break clauses or unexpected events can mean you need to move quickly. Where scheduling allows, we offer same-day or next-day office removals in Pratts Bottom, prioritising essential workstations and IT to get you operational fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Pratts Bottom cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at each property and how much packing support you need. Smaller local moves may be priced on a fixed fee or a minimum half-day rate, while larger relocations are usually quoted as a full project. After a short call and survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras for normal working conditions, so you know exactly what you are paying for and can budget confidently.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Yes, where our schedule allows, we can support same-day or urgent moves in and around Pratts Bottom. This is often useful for short-notice lease changes, emergency repairs or rapid team relocations. Availability depends on crew and vehicle capacity, so the earlier you contact us, the better. Even on urgent moves we still follow a simplified version of our planning process to ensure key items, especially IT and essential workstations, are prioritised so your team can get back to work quickly.

What insurance do you provide for office removals?

Your office contents are covered by goods in transit insurance while they are in our care and vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work carried out at your premises. This protects against accidental damage or incidents involving our team. We always encourage clients to keep their own business contents insurance in place as an additional safeguard. Full details, including policy limits and terms, can be provided with your quote so your facilities or risk management team can review them in advance.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, IT equipment, boxes and archives between locations. We can also provide dismantling and reassembly of desks and basic furniture, packing and unpacking services, supply of crates and boxes, and protection for floors and doors. For many clients we also work with their IT teams to coordinate the safe handling of computers and servers once disconnected. Your written quote will clearly list what is and is not included, so there is no ambiguity.

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

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without detailed planning, specialist equipment or comprehensive insurance. A professional office removal includes structured project management, trained crews, proper packing materials, protection for premises, and clear documentation. We assess access and risks beforehand, provide written quotes and carry fully insured cover. This reduces the chance of delays, damage or downtime. For businesses that rely on IT and continuity of service, the additional structure and accountability of a professional mover is usually worth the modest extra cost.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For most office moves in Pratts Bottom, booking 3–6 weeks in advance is ideal. This allows time for surveys, building management approvals, crate delivery and staff communication. Larger or phased relocations can benefit from even more notice so we can plan around your operational needs and any third parties, such as IT providers or fit-out contractors. That said, we understand that not every move comes with long lead times, so if you have a shorter deadline, contact us as soon as possible and we will advise on the best options.
