Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
We start with a straightforward conversation about your move: locations, timescales, size of office, IT needs and any building restrictions. Based on this information, we provide an initial no-obligation estimate and outline the most suitable service options, including packing, out-of-hours work and storage if required.
2. Detailed Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For commercial moves, we strongly recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or onsite, depending on scale and access. We assess:
- Volume of furniture, equipment and files
- Lift access, stairs, loading bays and parking
- IT and server room requirements
- Any special handling or dismantling needed
- Preferred timetable, including evenings or weekends
After the survey, we provide a detailed written quotation and move plan so everyone knows what to expect.
3. Packing & Preparation
Effective preparation is critical to a smooth office move. We can provide:
- Full packing service – Our team packs files, desk contents and equipment using labelled crates and boxes.
- Part packing – We handle bulk items and fragile equipment; your team packs personal items.
- Supply of crates, boxes, tape and labels if you prefer to pack yourselves.
Desks and other furniture can be dismantled where required, with all fixings kept secure for reassembly at the new premises. IT equipment is wrapped and boxed in line with agreed procedures with your IT support.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our professional, trained crew arrives on time with the right vehicles, protective materials and tools. We protect floors, lifts and walls as agreed with building management, then systematically load your items using trolleys, dollies and ramps to keep everything safe and efficient.
Your goods are transported in purpose-equipped removals vehicles, protected with transit blankets, webbing and straps to prevent movement in transit.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new office, we unload in line with the agreed floor plans. Furniture is reassembled, crates are placed at the correct workstations and labelled boxes are positioned in the right departments. We work with your team or IT provider to ensure that labelled IT hardware reaches the correct desks, helping you get back up and running quickly.
Once everything is in place, we complete a final walk-through with you to check that all agreed work has been carried out to your satisfaction.
Transparent Office Removals Pricing
Office moves vary widely in size and complexity, so we provide tailored quotations rather than one-size-fits-all prices. Our quotes are clear and fully itemised, typically covering:
- Labour (number of movers and hours or day rate)
- Vehicles required
- Packing services and materials, if chosen
- Special handling (e.g. safes, servers, large printers)
- Out-of-hours or weekend work, if requested
We explain exactly what is included and any optional extras, so you can budget confidently and avoid unexpected costs. Site surveys for commercial moves in Haringey are usually provided free of charge.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
For a commercial move, trying to manage everything with internal staff or a casual man-and-van service can be risky and disruptive. Common issues include insufficient insurance, lack of proper packing, inadequate vehicles, and extended downtime due to poor planning.
By choosing a professional removals company like Haringey Movers, you benefit from:
- Structured planning and project management
- Appropriate equipment and vehicles for office moves
- Trained teams experienced in handling IT and sensitive documents
- Reduced risk of damage, loss and employee injury
- Clear accountability and documented agreements
The result is a faster, safer relocation with less disruption to your staff and clients.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your business assets are valuable, so we back up our work with robust cover and professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your office furniture and equipment while being moved.
- Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of damage to buildings or third-party property.
- Trained moving teams – Staff are briefed on safe lifting, handling IT equipment and protecting confidential material.
We are happy to provide proof of insurance and discuss any specific requirements your landlord or building manager may have before the move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your office contents and your buildings with respect. Floors, doors and lifts can be protected with coverings and pads, while furniture and IT are wrapped using high-quality materials. Fragile and high-value items receive additional protection and are clearly labelled.
Where possible, we use reusable crates, durable protective blankets and recyclable materials to reduce waste. We plan routes sensibly to minimise unnecessary mileage and can advise on responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted furniture and equipment through approved channels.
Real-World Office Removals Scenarios We Handle
Moving to a Larger Office in Haringey
Growing teams often outgrow their current workspace. We regularly help businesses upgrade to larger offices, carefully mapping existing layouts and replicating or improving them in the new space so staff can get back to work with minimal adjustment.
Internal Reconfigurations and Floor Moves
Not every move involves lorries and long distances. We also manage internal office reshuffles, moving departments between floors, reconfiguring open-plan areas and relocating meeting spaces, often outside of core working hours.
Urgent and Time-Sensitive Office Moves
Sometimes moves need to happen quickly – for example, sudden lease changes, emergency building works, or rapid growth. Where our schedule allows, we can arrange short-notice moves, bringing in additional crews and vehicles to meet tight deadlines while still working safely and systematically.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an office removal in Haringey cost?
The cost of an office move depends on factors such as the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both sites, distance between locations and whether you require packing services. Smaller office moves within Haringey can sometimes be completed within a single day with a compact team, while larger multi-floor relocations require more planning and resources. After a survey, we provide a clear, itemised quotation so you know exactly what you are paying for and can compare like-for-like with confidence.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
We can often accommodate urgent or short-notice office moves, particularly within Haringey and nearby areas, depending on existing bookings and the scale of the job. For genuine emergencies or last-minute lease issues, we will always be honest about what is realistically achievable without compromising safety or service quality. If required, we can increase crew size or work evenings and weekends to meet your deadline. The earlier you contact us, the more options we will have to tailor a fast, efficient solution around your timescales.
Are my office contents insured during the move?
Yes. Your office furniture and equipment are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are handling and transporting them, and we also hold public liability cover for added protection. During the survey and booking process we will explain the key terms, including any single-item limits or exclusions, so you have a clear understanding of the cover in place. If you have particularly high-value or specialist equipment, let us know in advance and we can confirm that it is properly accounted for within the policy or discuss additional arrangements.
What exactly is included in your office removals service?
Our standard office removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment and packed contents between the agreed addresses. We provide trained staff, vehicles, basic protection materials and standard dismantling and reassembly of common items such as desks, where required. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of crates and boxes, specialist IT handling and out-of-hours working. All inclusions and exclusions are clearly listed in your written quotation so you can see precisely what we will do on the day and where any optional services may be beneficial.
How is a professional office removal different from a man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van service is usually geared towards small, simple moves and may not offer the planning, insurance or manpower needed for an office relocation. With a professional removals company, you get structured surveys, risk assessments, fully insured operations and trained crews familiar with office furniture, IT and building management requirements. We coordinate with landlords, arrange parking and protect communal areas. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and health and safety issues, and helps your staff stay focused on their work instead of managing the move themselves.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For a smooth, low-disruption office move, we generally recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, especially if you need to move on a specific date or over a weekend. This allows time for surveys, planning, crate delivery and communication with your staff and building management. However, we understand that business situations change quickly, and we regularly accommodate shorter lead times where our schedule permits. Whatever your timescale, contact us as early as possible so we can discuss options and secure the most suitable dates for your move.
