Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Clear Quotation

Everything starts with a quick conversation. You can call or email us with basic details: where you are moving from and to, your rough dates, and the size of your office. We will ask a few questions about access, parking, floors, and key items. In many cases we can provide an initial estimate straight away, followed by a more detailed quote once we understand the exact inventory.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office moves, a virtual or onsite survey is the best way to ensure accuracy. We can arrange a video call or visit your premises to see what needs moving, note any staircases or lifts, and check any building rules or time restrictions. This allows us to specify the right size vehicle, number of movers and any extra equipment needed, and to confirm a realistic timescale for the move.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between two main approaches:

• Packing service – our team can pack your office contents into clearly labelled boxes, wrap monitors and fragile items, and prepare furniture for transport. We bring appropriate packing materials.
• Self-packing – you pack everything in advance, and we supply boxes and materials on request. We still wrap and protect furniture and key items on the day.

We pay special attention to IT equipment and fragile items, using padded covers, blankets and securing straps.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, walks through the plan with you, and begins loading systematically. Furniture is protected, boxes are stacked safely, and IT equipment is secured. We use clean, well-maintained vans equipped with blankets, trolleys and straps. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new office or storage location, following the most efficient and sensible route for the time of day.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload and place items according to your floor plan or instructions. Desks, cabinets and chairs are set out in the correct rooms, and we reassemble any items we dismantled. We can work alongside your IT team or provider so they can reconnect equipment once we have positioned it. Before we leave, we check that everything has been unloaded and placed where you want it.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our office removals in Old Coulsdon are normally priced based on:

• Volume of items and number of workstations
• Travel distance between properties
• Number of movers required and total time on site
• Access difficulties (stairs, long carries, limited parking)
• Optional extras such as packing, materials and out-of-hours working

You will receive a written quote that sets out what is included, any optional services, and any assumptions. There are no hidden charges – if the scope changes, we explain any cost implications before going ahead.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Moving an office is very different from moving a few boxes in a car. Using a professional removals service offers several advantages over DIY or a casual man-and-van:

• Reduced downtime – an experienced team can complete moves faster and more efficiently, helping you get back to work sooner.
• Correct handling – trained movers know how to move desks, filing cabinets and IT safely, reducing the risk of injury or damage.
• Proper protection – we use covers, blankets and secure loading methods to protect both your items and the buildings.
• Insurance cover – in the unlikely event of an incident, you are covered by our dedicated insurance policies.
• Planning and coordination – we help you schedule and organise the move so it runs in a structured way.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your business property is valuable, and we treat it that way. Man with Van Old Coulsdon operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being transported in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to the premises or third parties during the move.
• Trained moving teams – our movers are experienced, briefed on manual handling, and used to working in office environments.

We take care to follow building rules, health and safety requirements, and any security instructions you provide. Our aim is a move that is smooth, safe and fully compliant.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

We take a careful, methodical approach to every office move. Furniture is wrapped where needed, corners and doorways are protected as appropriate, and floors are kept clear of loose materials. We load and unload with your equipment’s safety in mind.

Where possible, we:

• Reuse durable moving blankets and protective equipment
• Offer reusable crates for larger moves, subject to availability
• Encourage responsible recycling or donation of unwanted office items
• Plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage

Our goal is to move your office efficiently while minimising waste and unnecessary trips.

• Home office relocation – moving desks, chairs and IT from a home address into a serviced office, or vice versa.
• Urgent or last-minute moves – helping businesses respond to sudden lease changes, office issues, or urgent reconfigurations, subject to availability.
• Downsizing or upsizing – shifting part of your furniture and equipment to new premises, storage, or other branches.
• End-of-lease clearances – removing office items at the end of a tenancy so you can hand the property back in the required condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Old Coulsdon cost?

The cost of office removals varies depending on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both addresses, distance travelled and whether you need packing services. Smaller moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger relocations are usually priced as a fixed quote. Once we have carried out a survey and agreed the scope, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included before you commit.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We can often accommodate short-notice or urgent office removals in Old Coulsdon, depending on our existing bookings and the size of the move. If you need a quick turnaround, contact us as early as possible with your dates, addresses and a rough idea of what needs to be moved. We will check our schedule and let you know what we can realistically achieve, along with any options such as splitting the move over multiple visits or working outside normal hours.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

We operate with dedicated goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are in our vehicles, as well as public liability cover for work at your premises. This is designed to give you peace of mind during your move. We will outline the key terms and limits when you book. If you have particularly high-value items or specialist equipment, let us know in advance so we can confirm how they are covered and whether any extra arrangements are needed.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, packed boxes and typical equipment between the agreed addresses. We protect furniture, secure items in the vehicle, and place everything into the correct rooms or areas at the destination. Optional extras include packing and unpacking, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours working where required. Your written quote will clearly list what is included and any optional services you have chosen.

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

While a basic man-and-van can be useful for small, simple jobs, a professional office removals service is designed specifically for business moves. We carry full insurance, use trained teams, plan your move carefully, and have the right equipment for handling desks, filing cabinets and IT. We also provide surveys, written quotes and structured scheduling. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disruption to your work, which is especially important where staff, clients and critical systems are involved.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

For the smoothest experience, we recommend booking your office removals at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend. This gives time for a survey, planning access, and coordinating with your building management or IT provider. However, we understand that business moves do not always come with long notice. If your timeline is tighter, contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to fit you in and suggest practical options.
