Office Removals

Office Removals in Greenwich by Greenwich Movers

Greenwich Movers provides specialist office removals across Greenwich and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving businesses of all sizes, we understand the pressures of relocating a workplace and the importance of keeping disruption to an absolute minimum.

Every move is carefully planned, fully risk-assessed and carried out by our trained, uniformed and professional moving teams. Whether you are moving a small office or a multi-floor operation, we deliver a smooth, well-organised relocation from first enquiry to final sign-off.

Local Office Removals Expertise in Greenwich

Working day-in, day-out in Greenwich gives us detailed knowledge of local roads, loading restrictions and commercial buildings. From heritage offices around Greenwich Market to modern spaces near the O2 and Greenwich Peninsula, we understand access issues, parking constraints and building management requirements.

We liaise with building managers, arrange parking suspensions where needed, and schedule moves to suit your business hours. Our local knowledge helps keep your downtime low and your staff focused on work, not the logistics of the move.

Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Our office removals service is designed for a wide range of clients in and around Greenwich:

• Homeowners running businesses from home offices who need to move equipment, files and furniture safely.
• Renters in serviced offices or co-working spaces relocating to new premises.
• Landlords clearing or refitting office units between tenancies or after refurbishment.
• Businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to multi-department organisations moving within the building or across town.
• Students and freelancers relocating studio spaces, study rooms or shared working areas.

Whether it is a single room, a floor of desks or an entire office move, we tailor our service around your specific needs, timetable and building requirements.

What Is Included in Our Office Removals Service

We provide a comprehensive office relocation service, which can include:

• Workstation moves – desks, chairs, pedestals and storage units.
• IT and electronics – PCs, monitors, printers, servers (disconnection/reconnection by your IT team or by prior arrangement).
• Filing and archives – boxed, labelled and moved in sequence to maintain order.
• Meeting rooms and reception areas – tables, seating, reception desks and soft furnishings.
• Kitchen and break-out areas – small appliances, tables, chairs and cupboards.
• Packing materials – crates or boxes, labels, bubble wrap and protective covers as required.
• Furniture disassembly and reassembly where appropriate.

Items We Cannot Move or Need to Assess

For safety and compliance, some items are excluded or require prior assessment:

• Hazardous materials such as flammable liquids, gas bottles, chemicals or paints.
• Large industrial machinery or specialist equipment not previously surveyed.
• High-value artwork or antiques without prior agreement and suitable protection.
• Confidential waste that has not been appropriately sealed or prepared.
• Items fixed to the building structure (e.g. wired-in lighting, fitted partitions) unless agreed in advance.

If you have any unusual, heavy or sensitive items, we will discuss these during the survey so we can plan the right method, equipment and insurance cover.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

It begins when you contact us by phone or online. We ask a few key questions about your current office, your new premises, timescales and any critical deadlines. From this we provide an initial indication of costs and arrange a suitable time for a survey. All quotations are clear and itemised, with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We carry out a detailed survey, either onsite or via video, to assess access, parking, number of desks, IT requirements, stairs/lifts and any special items. We also discuss your preferred move date, out-of-hours options and continuity plans. This information allows us to allocate the right team size, vehicles, equipment and packing materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from full packing, part packing or a self-pack option. For full packing, our team arrives ahead of the move to pack desks, files and equipment, carefully labelling crates by department, workstation or floor. We use heavy-duty crates, anti-static protection for IT equipment and furniture covers to minimise the risk of damage.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day we protect floors, corners and lifts where necessary before we start. Our trained team loads your items methodically, ensuring fragile and IT equipment is secured and separated. Vehicles are clean, equipped with straps, blankets and trolleys, and all goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new premises we unload directly to the correct rooms, departments or desk numbers according to the move plan. We reassemble furniture where agreed and place items in line with your layout. Our aim is that your staff can arrive, plug in and get back to work as quickly as possible.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. The cost of an office move in Greenwich typically depends on:

• Size of the office and volume of furniture/equipment.
• Number of staff and workstations being moved.
• Access, parking and lift/stair arrangements at both properties.
• Level of packing service required.
• Out-of-hours or weekend work, if requested.

Once we have completed your survey, we provide a written quotation covering labour, vehicles, packing materials and any additional services agreed. Any potential extra charges (for example, additional packing or storage) will be clearly explained in advance.

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

Attempting an office move using staff cars or a casual man-and-van risks damage, delays and lost productivity. Professional office removals offer:

• Planned logistics – structured schedules, move plans and clear communication.
• Proper protection – furniture covers, IT protection and secure loading methods.
• Insured service – goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
• Trained staff – experienced movers used to handling heavy and sensitive items.
• Reduced disruption – faster, more efficient moves with less downtime for your team.

Using a casual service may save a little up front, but the cost of damaged IT, injured staff or extended downtime can be much higher.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Greenwich Movers operates to high professional standards, with the protections you would expect from a responsible removals company:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises or in communal areas.
• Trained moving teams experienced in manual handling, safe lifting and secure packing.
• Risk assessments and method statements for larger or more complex relocations.

We are always happy to share details of our cover and provide documentation for your building management or compliance teams if required.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take the care of your equipment and the environment seriously. Desks and cabinets are wrapped or protected before moving, and IT equipment is handled using appropriate padding and secure stacking methods. Floors, bannisters and lifts are protected where needed to avoid damage to your buildings.

From a sustainability perspective, we reuse crates, blankets and protective materials wherever practical and encourage clients to opt for reusable moving crates instead of single-use cardboard. Unwanted furniture can, by prior arrangement, be redistributed or taken to appropriate recycling facilities instead of landfill.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving Office Within Greenwich

Many of our clients are businesses moving between offices in Greenwich – for example, upgrading from a small serviced office near the station to a larger lease near the river. We plan evening or weekend moves so that staff can leave one office on Friday and start in the new one on Monday.

Multi-Phase Office Relocations

For larger organisations, a single-day move is not always practical. We often deliver phased relocations by department or floor, coordinating with your IT and facilities teams so that critical functions are moved and operational first. This staged approach keeps key services running while the rest of the office follows.

Urgent and Short-Notice Office Moves

Occasionally, businesses need to move at short notice due to lease issues, building works or rapid growth. Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate urgent office removals, prioritising essential items and setting up temporary positions at the new site while the remainder follows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Greenwich typically cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your office, the number of workstations, access at each property and how much packing you require. Smaller office moves might be completed within a day with a small team, while larger multi-floor moves may involve several days and multiple vehicles. After a survey, we provide a fixed, written quotation covering labour, vehicles, packing materials and any agreed extras. There are no hidden charges, and any potential additional costs (such as storage or extra packing) are clearly discussed before you confirm your booking.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We can often accommodate urgent or short-notice moves, depending on our schedule and the scale of your relocation. For smaller offices or partial moves, same-day arrangements are sometimes possible, particularly midweek or outside peak periods. For larger businesses, we will aim to prioritise essential items so your team can continue working while the rest of the move is completed. The earlier you contact us, the more options we have for allocating the right crew size and vehicles to meet your deadline safely and efficiently.

Are my office items insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between locations, and we also carry public liability cover for work carried out on site. This provides reassurance in the unlikely event of damage or incident. During the survey we will discuss any particularly high-value or specialist items so we can confirm appropriate cover and handling arrangements. Full details of our insurance, including limits and exclusions, are available on request, and we are happy to supply documentation for your records or building management.

What is included in a typical office removals service?

A standard office removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment and boxed contents between your old and new premises. Most clients also ask us to provide packing materials and, where needed, partial or full packing of desks, files and shared areas. We can disassemble and reassemble standard office furniture, protect floors and lifts, and place items according to your layout plan. Additional services, such as IT disconnection/reconnection or disposal of unwanted furniture, can be arranged by prior agreement and included in your quotation.

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

A professional removals service offers structured planning, trained staff, appropriate equipment and formal insurance – all critical when moving an office. A casual man-and-van may not provide detailed surveys, risk assessments, packing support or adequate protection for IT equipment and furniture. We use move plans, labelled crates, protective materials and experienced crews to keep your downtime and risk of damage low. In many cases, the overall cost difference is small compared with the value of your equipment and the impact of lost working time if things go wrong.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

For most office relocations we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, particularly if you need to move over a weekend or at the end of the month, when demand is highest. This gives time for surveys, building approvals, parking arrangements and for your staff to prepare. However, we understand that circumstances are not always ideal, and we regularly help businesses with shorter lead times. Contact us as soon as you know your approximate dates and we will advise on availability and next steps.
