Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Everything starts with a quick discussion. You tell us about your current office, the new location, access, dates, and any special requirements such as weekend or evening moves. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote detailing what is included, so you can make an informed decision.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most office removals, we carry out a survey. This may be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite, depending on size and complexity. We assess:
- Volume of furniture, IT and files
- Lift access, stairs and parking arrangements
- Any dismantling or reassembly required
- Building management rules and time restrictions
This allows us to plan crew size, vehicle type and timings accurately.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible packing options. You can pack yourselves using crates and boxes we supply, or choose our full packing service where our team prepares everything for you. For office moves we typically provide:
- IT crates and anti-static protection for computers and screens
- Numbered labels so workstations can be rebuilt correctly
- Protective covers for desks, chairs and meeting tables
- Special wrapping for fragile or high-value items
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day we arrive on time, introduce the team lead, and walk through the plan again. Floors, lifts and key walkways are protected where necessary. We then carefully load items in a controlled order so they can be unloaded efficiently at the destination.
All vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps, trolleys and tools. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new office we place everything where you need it: desks into departments, crates to the right teams, and furniture into agreed positions. We can also dismantle and reassemble standard office furniture as required. Before we leave, we do a final walkthrough with you to confirm everything is in the right place.
Transparent Office Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are typically based on:
- The size and layout of your current and new office
- Volume of furniture, equipment and files
- Access issues (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
- Level of packing required and materials used
- Move timing (standard weekday, evening or weekend)
We will always explain how your price has been worked out, and we do not add hidden extras on the day. If your requirements change, we will discuss options with you rather than making assumptions.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Instead of DIY
Using staff cars or a casual man-and-van might appear cheaper, but it often costs more in lost time and risk. Our professional office removals service offers:
- Planning and coordination – so the move fits around your business operations
- Proper protection – reducing damage to IT equipment, furniture and premises
- Efficiency – experienced crews move faster and more safely
- Insurance cover – protecting your assets if the unexpected happens
- Compliance – risk assessments and safe working practices
In short, your team can stay focused on running the business while we handle the relocation.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Ealing Man and Van operates to clear professional standards, giving you peace of mind throughout the move:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being transported
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff used to handling office equipment and confidential items
- Risk-aware working – manual handling training and safe loading practices
We are happy to provide proof of insurance and any documentation your building management may require before the move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your office equipment as if it were our own. Desks and furniture are wrapped, IT is padded and secured, and floors and walls are protected where necessary. We use quality reusable crates and covers whenever possible to reduce single-use materials.
Where cardboard and plastics are unavoidable, we aim to reuse and recycle. We can also assist with responsible disposal of unwanted office furniture and equipment, ensuring it is donated, recycled or disposed of properly, rather than simply sent to landfill.
Real-World Office Removal Scenarios We Handle
- Full office relocations – moving from one building to another, often over a weekend to avoid downtime
- Internal reconfigurations – changing floor layouts,moving departments or consolidating space
- Hybrid and downsizing moves – shifting to smaller premises as teams work more flexibly
- Start-up moves – helping new businesses set up their first proper office
- Urgent office moves – responding quickly where leases end, buildings close or issues arise unexpectedly
We also regularly combine office removals with home moves for directors or key staff, coordinating everything so it happens on the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Ealing cost?
The cost of an office removal in Ealing depends on the size of your office, how much furniture and equipment you have, access at both locations and whether you need packing. Smaller offices can sometimes be moved on a fixed price or even a half-day rate, while larger or multi-floor moves require a detailed survey. Once we understand the scope, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. The best way to get an accurate price is to contact us with your addresses, dates and an outline of what you need to move.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
We can often accommodate urgent or same-day office removals, especially for smaller spaces or partial moves. Availability depends on our schedule, vehicle capacity and crew numbers on a given day, so the earlier you contact us, the better. For very short-notice moves we may suggest a phased approach, tackling critical IT and workstations first, then returning for non-essential items. If you are facing an unexpected deadline or lease issue, call us and we will give you an honest assessment of what is realistically achievable.
Are my office items insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover. This protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move. Insurance is there as a safety net, but our focus is always on preventing issues in the first place through trained teams, proper packing and careful loading. If you have particularly high-value equipment or specific insurance requirements, let us know so we can confirm cover and any extra steps needed.
What exactly is included in your office removals service?
Every move is tailored, but a typical office removal includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading into the new office. We can also include dismantling and reassembling standard desks and furniture, providing crates and packing materials, packing and unpacking services, and disposal of unwanted items by arrangement. Our quotation will clearly state what is and is not included, so you can see whether you prefer a basic transport-only service or a full service where we handle almost everything for you.
How is a professional office removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, with limited planning and little or no insurance. A professional office removal is planned in detail, with a survey, labelled systems, protection for IT and furniture, and trained staff who understand how to move offices safely and efficiently. We liaise with building management, work around your business hours and minimise downtime. While the upfront cost may be higher than a basic van hire, reduced disruption, lower risk of damage and a smoother transition usually make it far more cost-effective overall.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For most office moves we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, particularly if you need a specific date, weekend slot or out-of-hours service. Larger or more complex relocations may require longer planning, especially where building management needs risk assessments or RAMS. That said, we understand that moves are not always confirmed early, and we often help clients at shorter notice. The sooner you contact us with your likely dates, the more options we will have to shape the move around your ideal timetable.
