Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your move details: addresses, floor levels, access, key dates and any time restrictions. We will provide an initial estimate based on the information you give us and outline different options for your move (weekday, evening or weekend work where appropriate).

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office moves, we recommend a survey. This can be done virtually via video or onsite in Kennington. We assess the volume of items, staircases, lifts, parking, and any special handling requirements. The survey allows us to give a fixed or highly accurate quote, plan the right team and vehicle size, and coordinate with building management if necessary.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Packing service – We provide crates or cartons and pack files, equipment and small items, labelling everything clearly by department, room or workstation.
• Part-packing – We pack fragile and high-value items; your team packs personal and non-critical items.
• Self-packing – We supply materials and guidance so your staff can pack at their own pace.

We can also dismantle standard desks and furniture where needed, always noting configurations to ensure straightforward reassembly at your new office.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our professional team arrives on time and works to the agreed move plan. We protect floors, walls and lifts with covers where required. Items are wrapped or blanket-protected, then securely loaded into our vehicles. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new premises, we unload and place items into the correct rooms or work zones, following the agreed layout plan. We reassemble desks and standard furniture, position filing cabinets and connect basic items (e.g. placing monitors and PCs ready for your IT team to plug in). We remove used packing materials for reuse or recycling where possible.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will set out:

• The size of vehicle(s) and team required
• Estimated duration or a fixed price for the move
• Any additional services (packing, materials, out-of-hours working)
• Parking or congestion-related costs where applicable

Rates reflect the complexity of access, volume of items and distance between properties. We will always explain where you can save money – for example by packing your own files, or scheduling moves to avoid peak traffic where practical.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Office moves are rarely straightforward. Choosing a professional removals company rather than doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van brings real benefits:

• Reduced downtime – structured planning minimises disruption to staff and customers.
• Proper handling – trained teams reduce the risk of damage to IT equipment and furniture.
• Insurance cover – your goods are protected under our goods in transit insurance.
• Health and safety – experienced movers use safe lifting and correct equipment.
• Accountability – you have a single, reliable point of contact throughout the move.

Most businesses find that the cost of a professional move is far outweighed by the time saved and the reduction in risk.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Kennington Man and Van operates to clear, documented standards to protect your business.

• Goods in transit insurance – Covers your office furniture and equipment while being moved and transported, subject to our terms.
• Public liability cover – Protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury in the course of our work.
• Trained moving teams – Staff are instructed in manual handling, load securing, and working in commercial premises.

Copies of our insurance details and method statements can be provided to your facilities or risk management team on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your equipment and premises with care from start to finish.

• Use of furniture blankets, shrink-wrap and corner protectors where necessary.
• Floor runners and banister protection for high-traffic routes.
• Careful handling of IT equipment, monitors and printers.
• Re-use of crates and durable packing where possible to reduce waste.
• Responsible recycling or disposal of unwanted office items by prior arrangement.

We aim to minimise journeys, consolidate loads where appropriate and plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage, supporting a more sustainable way of working.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving to a Larger Office

Growing businesses in Kennington often outgrow their initial space. We manage phased moves so you can keep trading while departments relocate in stages, ensuring your phones, IT and key staff remain operational throughout.

Internal Office Reconfiguration

Not every move involves a new address. We regularly assist with internal moves – reshuffling departments, moving meeting rooms or restructuring open-plan layouts. This can be done out of hours or over weekends to avoid disturbing your teams.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes leases end earlier than expected or circumstances change quickly. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice office removals in Kennington, focusing on safely moving essential equipment first so you can keep operating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office removal in Kennington cost?

The cost depends on several factors: volume of furniture and equipment, number of staff or workstations, access at each property and the distance between locations. Smaller office moves within Kennington may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger relocations are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. Additional services such as packing, evening or weekend work, or disposal of unwanted items will be itemised clearly. Once we’ve assessed your requirements, we’ll provide a written quote so you know exactly what to budget for.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our diary allows, we can assist with same-day or urgent office removals in Kennington. Availability depends on team and vehicle capacity, as we never overbook or compromise on safe staffing levels. For urgent moves, we prioritise getting your essential items – such as IT equipment, desks and key documents – transferred first. If needed, we can then schedule follow-up visits for non-critical items. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move, and we’ll advise honestly what’s realistic within your timescale.

What insurance cover do you provide for office moves?

Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved and transported, subject to policy conditions and declared values. We also hold public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage to buildings or injury to third parties during the move. We recommend that high-value or specialist items are highlighted in advance so we can confirm that they are adequately covered. Full details of our insurance, including limits and exclusions, are available on request and can be shared with your landlord or facilities manager if required.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes a pre-move discussion or survey, loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, boxed items and standard IT equipment. We place items into the correct rooms at your new premises and can dismantle and reassemble most standard desks and furniture. Optional extras include full or part packing services, supply of crates and packing materials, out-of-hours moves and clearance of unwanted items by arrangement. Your written quote will list exactly what is included so there are no surprises on move day.

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, no formal survey and often minimal insurance. With a professional office removals service, you get structured planning, an experienced team, appropriate vehicles and equipment, and proper insurance protection. We coordinate access with building management, plan vehicle parking, label items, and work to minimise disruption to your staff. For business moves, this level of organisation and accountability is important – it reduces downtime, protects your assets and gives you a clear point of contact throughout the process.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For most office moves in Kennington, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you require packing services or weekend work. Larger or more complex moves may benefit from even more notice so that we can carry out surveys, coordinate with building management and schedule the right resources. That said, we do our best to accommodate shorter lead times where possible. The earlier you make contact, the more options we can offer in terms of dates, team sizes and cost-effective planning.
