Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Start by contacting our Kennington office removals team by phone or online form. We will discuss your current and new locations, access restrictions, lift usage, parking, and your preferred move dates and times (including evenings or weekends if required). Based on this initial conversation, we provide an outline quotation or arrange a survey for a more detailed price.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office relocations, we recommend a free survey. This can be done virtually via video call or onsite in Kennington. We assess the volume of furniture and equipment, IT complexity, packing needs, and any specialist requirements. Your survey forms the basis of a clear, itemised quotation and move plan so there are no surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer several levels of packing support:

• Full packing service – Our trained team packs all office contents, including IT and files, using quality materials and labelled crates or cartons.
• Part packing service – We pack fragile, IT or high-value items while your staff pack personal belongings and non-essential items.
• Self-packing – We supply crates, boxes and labels in advance so your team can pack at their own pace.

We coordinate with your IT provider if needed to ensure safe shutdown, labelling and reinstallation of equipment.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our professional crew arrives on time, fully briefed and in uniform. We protect floors, lifts and walls with covers, then carefully dismantle and wrap furniture as required. All items are loaded systematically onto our vehicles, secured in transit and transported directly from your Kennington office to your new premises or storage facility.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new location, we unload according to the agreed floor plan, placing desks, chairs and equipment exactly where you want them. We can reassemble standard office furniture, position IT equipment ready for your technicians and remove used packing materials for recycling or reuse. The goal is simple: your staff can arrive and start working again as quickly as possible.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals in Kennington

Office moves vary widely in size and complexity, so we price each job individually. Factors that influence your quote include:

• Volume of furniture, files and equipment
• Number of workstations and meeting rooms
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
• Need for evening or weekend working
• Packing level (full, part or self-pack)
• Requirement for short- or long-term storage

Your written quotation will clearly show what is included, any optional extras and how many movers and vehicles are allocated. We do not charge hidden extras on the day; any potential additional costs are discussed and agreed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

Attempting to move a working office with a casual man-and-van or relying on staff to do the heavy lifting often leads to broken equipment, lost items and unnecessary downtime. Our professional office removals service in Kennington provides:

• Trained movers who understand how to handle IT, furniture and sensitive archives
• Appropriate vehicles, trolleys and lifting equipment
• Structured planning to keep your business operational
• Full goods in transit insurance for your contents
• Reduced risk of staff injury or damage to your buildings

In many cases, using a specialist office removals company is more cost-effective than the hidden costs of disruption and damage associated with DIY approaches.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Removal Companies Kennington operates to recognised industry standards. For your peace of mind, we maintain:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your office contents while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury during the move
• Trained moving teams who receive ongoing instruction in manual handling, customer care and safe operation

Policy details and limits are available on request, and we can work with your own insurers or risk managers where required for larger corporate projects.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office assets as if they were our own. This means careful wrapping of furniture, appropriate packing for IT and files, and floor and wall protection in both properties. Where possible, we use reusable crates instead of single-use cartons, and we recycle packing materials responsibly. We can also assist with ethical disposal of unwanted office furniture and equipment through recycling partners and donation schemes, helping you meet your environmental and social responsibility goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office removal in Kennington cost?

The cost of an office removal in Kennington depends on the size of your workspace, the volume of furniture and IT, access at each site, and the level of packing you require. Smaller moves may be completed in a single vehicle with a small crew, while larger offices can need multiple vehicles and teams over several days. After a free survey, we provide a fixed quotation outlining exactly what is included, so you can budget accurately and obtain any necessary internal approvals.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate short-notice or urgent office removals in Kennington. Availability will depend on crew and vehicle capacity, as well as the scale of your move. For smaller offices or partial relocations, we can often respond quickly, particularly mid-week. For larger projects, we may phase the work to get critical areas operational first. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move; we will advise honestly what is achievable within your timeframe.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

We provide comprehensive goods in transit insurance for your office contents while they are in our care, as well as public liability cover for work carried out at both properties. This protects you against accidental damage or loss during loading, transport and unloading. For high-value items or specialist equipment, we may ask for an inventory and values so we can confirm adequate cover. If your organisation has its own insurance requirements, we are happy to share policy details and work alongside your risk or facilities team.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes a pre-move assessment, provision of vehicles and professional crews, protection of premises, disassembly of standard office furniture, loading, secure transport, unloading and basic reassembly and placement at the new site. Optional services include full or part packing, supply of crates and boxes, IT decommissioning and reconnection (often in partnership with your IT provider), storage, and ethical disposal of unwanted furniture. Your written quote will state clearly which of these elements are included so you can tailor the service to your needs.

How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service usually provides transport only, with limited insurance, planning or protection for your equipment and buildings. Our professional office removals service offers trained crews, appropriate vehicles, comprehensive insurance, detailed planning, and the right materials and equipment to protect your assets. We coordinate access with building management, work to agreed timelines and provide documentation suitable for internal sign-off. This reduces downtime, minimises risk to staff and property, and gives you a clear point of accountability throughout the move.

How far in advance should I book my office removal?

For most office moves in Kennington, we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific weekend or out-of-hours slot. This allows time for surveys, planning, crate deliveries and staff communications. Larger or multi-phase relocations may require longer lead times to coordinate with fit-out contractors and IT teams. However, we understand moves do not always come with plenty of notice, so if you are working to a tight deadline, contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you.
