What Our Office Removals Service Includes

Items We Commonly Move

We handle most items you would expect to find in a modern office, including:

• Office desks, chairs and meeting room furniture
• Filing cabinets, storage units and shelving
• Desktop computers, laptops, monitors and docking stations
• Printers, photocopiers and small office machinery
• Network equipment (servers, switches, routers – already disconnected)
• Office supplies, files, archives and stationery
• Kitchen items such as kettles, microwaves and small fridges
• Whiteboards, TV screens and presentation equipment

Items We Cannot or Do Not Move

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

• Hazardous materials (chemicals, flammable liquids, gas bottles)
• Industrial machinery that requires specialist lifting equipment
• Large safes or extremely heavy items without safe access
• Live animals or plants in poor condition
• Cash, high-value jewellery or confidential documents that must stay with you

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will confirm what we can do during the survey.

Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Everything starts with a quick conversation. You tell us where you are moving from and to, the size of your office and any time constraints. We will ask about access (stairs, lifts, loading bays) and any particularly heavy or fragile items. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with a breakdown of costs so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small office, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We walk through each room, note the furniture, IT equipment, cabling, and storage, and plan how to protect and move everything safely. The survey helps us allocate the right size vehicle, number of movers and any additional packing materials required.

3. Packing & Preparation

On packing day (or earlier, if agreed), our team arrives with appropriate materials – boxes, IT crates, bubble wrap, anti-static monitor covers and furniture blankets. We can provide a full packing service for your office contents, or you can pack files and personal items yourselves while we handle the larger and fragile pieces. All boxes and crates are labelled clearly to match your new office layout.

4. Loading & Transport

We load your items systematically, starting with furniture and heavy pieces, then IT equipment and boxed contents. Everything is protected with blankets, straps and wrapping where needed. Our vehicles are clean, well-maintained and covered by goods in transit insurance. We drive carefully, choosing sensible routes to avoid unnecessary bumps and delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new premises, we unload items in the agreed order, placing desks, chairs and cabinets into their designated rooms. We follow your floor plan where provided, so your team can sit down and get back to work as quickly as possible. We can reassemble basic flat-pack or modular office furniture if previously agreed and remove used packing materials for recycling where practical.

Transparent Pricing and How We Charge

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

• Volume of items and number of workstations
• Distance between properties
• Access issues (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions)
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Additional services such as packing, furniture assembly or out-of-hours working

Your quote will explain exactly what is included, any potential additional costs (for example, overtime if the move runs significantly over agreed hours) and payment terms. There are no hidden fees; if the scope changes, we discuss it with you before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Many businesses consider borrowing a van and doing it themselves, or hiring a casual man-and-van. In practice, this often leads to delays, damage and extra stress. A professional office removal service provides:

• Experienced, trained movers who know how to handle IT equipment and office furniture safely
• Correct tools and protective materials to prevent damage
• Efficient planning, so the move takes hours, not days
• Insurance cover if something does go wrong
• Reduced downtime for your team and less disruption to your business

With an office move, the value of your time and equipment usually far outweighs the cost of using professionals.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man With a Van Brixton operates to high professional standards. We are:

• Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your office contents while on the move
• Protected by public liability insurance for work at both properties
• Staffed by trained moving teams who handle your items carefully and respectfully

We can provide proof of insurance and any risk assessments your building management may require. Our teams follow safe lifting practices and use appropriate equipment to protect both your items and the properties.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take the protection of your office equipment seriously. Monitors, computers and electronics are wrapped and secured; furniture is covered with padded blankets; and delicate items are clearly marked and handled with extra care.

We also aim to work in a more sustainable way where possible. This includes reusing sturdy removal crates, recycling cardboard and minimising unnecessary journeys. If you have unwanted furniture in good condition, we can discuss options such as redistribution or delivery to local charities, subject to their requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Brixton cost?

The cost of an office removal in Brixton depends mainly on the size of your office, the distance between addresses, access at each building and whether you need packing or out-of-hours work. Smaller office moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger relocations are usually priced as a fixed quote after a survey. Once we have the key details, we will give you a clear written estimate so you can budget confidently, with no hidden extras.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where we have availability, we can often support same-day or short-notice office removals in Brixton. The more flexibility you have on timing and scope, the easier it is for us to accommodate an urgent move. For very last-minute jobs we may need to prioritise essential items and return for non-critical contents later. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move and we will give honest guidance on what is achievable within your timescale.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

Your office contents are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also carry public liability insurance for work at both your old and new premises. While our trained teams take great care with every item, this cover provides extra reassurance. If you have particularly high-value equipment or specific insurance requirements from your landlord or building manager, let us know so we can confirm details and supply documentation if needed.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, IT equipment and boxed contents between the two addresses. We protect items with blankets and wraps, secure them properly in the van and place them into the rooms or areas you specify on arrival. Optional extras include packing, supply of crates and boxes, basic furniture dismantling and reassembly, and out-of-hours or weekend moves. All inclusions will be clearly set out in your written quote before you book.

What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?

While a basic man-and-van might move a few items cheaply, our service is structured for full office relocations. You get an organised plan, trained movers, protective materials, appropriate vehicles and insurance cover. We label and place items according to your layout, handle delicate IT equipment correctly and coordinate timing to reduce downtime. For a business, the risk of delays, damage or disruption from an informal service can end up costing more than using a professional, accountable removals company.

How far in advance should I book my office removal?

For a smooth office move, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend slot. This gives time for a proper survey, planning and any packing work. However, we understand that business circumstances change, so we also work with shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more options we will have for dates, crew size and scheduling your move around your working hours.
