What Our Office Removals Service Includes

Items We Commonly Move

We move most standard office contents, including:

• Office desks, workstations and chairs
• Filing cabinets, cupboards and storage units
• Desktop computers, monitors, laptops and peripherals
• Servers, network equipment and telephony (where safely disconnected)
• Printers, copiers and other office machinery
• Meeting room tables, seating and whiteboards
• Reception furniture and display units
• Archive boxes, files and general office supplies

Items We Cannot or May Not Move

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot transport as part of a standard office removal:

• Hazardous materials (e.g. chemicals, solvents, gas cylinders)
• Illegal or controlled items
• Large quantities of cash, high-value jewellery or personal valuables
• Biological or medical waste
• Heavy industrial machinery beyond standard office equipment

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, just ask during the survey and we will advise or suggest alternatives.

How Our Office Removals Process Works

We follow a clear, step-by-step process to keep your move organised and predictable.

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with the basic details of your move – current and new addresses, approximate size of your office, and preferred dates. We will discuss your priorities, such as out-of-hours moves, minimal downtime or phased relocations, and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your requirements.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office moves, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, lift sizes, parking, staircases and the volume of items to be moved. We also note any sensitive equipment, security procedures and building rules. The survey helps us recommend the right number of staff, vehicles and the best schedule for your move.

3. Packing & Preparation

We can supply materials or provide a full packing service for your office. This may include:

• Labelled crates or boxes for files and equipment
• Protective wrapping for IT, screens and glass tops
• Dismantling desks, tables and shelving where required
• Protecting lifts, corridors and flooring at both ends

We work with your team to agree a clear labelling system so everything arrives in the right place first time.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained team arrives on time, fully briefed and equipped. We carefully load your furniture, crates and equipment, using blankets, straps and trolleys to protect items and buildings. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles, giving you added peace of mind.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload and place items into the rooms and areas specified in the move plan. We can reassemble desks and standard furniture, position workstations and stack crates where you need them. Before leaving, we carry out a walk-through with you to ensure everything essential is in place and you are happy with the result.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our office removals are usually priced based on:

• Volume of items and number of workstations
• Access at both properties (lifts, stairs, distance to vehicle)
• Distance between locations
• Required crew size and vehicles
• Additional services such as packing, materials and furniture assembly

We provide a detailed written quote before you commit, explaining what is included and any potential additional charges (for example, out-of-hours work or changes on the day). This helps you plan your budget with confidence.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Attempting an office move with borrowed vans and staff carrying boxes in their spare time often leads to delays, damage and stress. A planned move with a professional team offers:

• Reduced business downtime through efficient scheduling
• Proper handling of IT and furniture to avoid breakages
• Safer lifting techniques to protect staff from injury
• Appropriate insurance protection
• Experienced planning for building access and logistics

Our teams carry the right equipment, understand how to protect your assets and know how to move quickly without cutting corners.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man With a Van Shacklewell operates to professional standards that many informal operators cannot match. We provide:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover for peace of mind on your premises and in common areas.
• Trained moving teams who know how to handle IT, furniture and confined spaces safely.

Details of our insurance cover and limits are available on request and can be confirmed ahead of your booking.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office equipment and premises with care. Our crews use blankets, floor protection and proper lifting techniques to minimise any risk of damage. Where possible, we use reusable crates, recycled packing materials and efficient route planning to reduce waste and fuel use. We also encourage clients to declutter responsibly before moving, and we can help arrange donation or recycling options for unwanted office furniture and equipment.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving to a Larger Office

Growing businesses often outgrow their existing space. We regularly help teams move into larger offices in Shacklewell, planning phased moves so core operations can continue while parts of the team relocate.

Internal Office Reconfiguration

Sometimes you do not need a new building – just a new layout. We assist with internal moves, shifting departments between floors, repositioning furniture and storing surplus items during refurbishments.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Lease issues, unexpected growth or building problems can force a rapid relocation. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice office removals in Shacklewell, focusing on essential items first so you can get back to work quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Shacklewell cost?

The cost of an office removal depends mainly on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both locations and the distance between them. Smaller moves can sometimes be completed within a minimum charge, while larger multi-floor relocations require more staff and vehicles. After a brief discussion and, where needed, a survey, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras, and we can tailor the service to suit your budget and priorities.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Yes, subject to vehicle and crew availability, we can often help with same-day or short-notice office removals in Shacklewell. For urgent moves, we focus on the essentials first – IT equipment, key workstations and critical documents – and then plan any remaining items as a follow-up phase. The earlier you contact us, the better chance we have of arranging a suitable slot. Even for urgent relocations, we still carry out a quick assessment so we can allocate the right resources and keep disruption to a minimum.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover for work at your premises. This offers protection in the unlikely event of loss or damage. During the quotation stage, we can explain our policy limits and exclusions so you can decide if additional cover is needed for very high-value items. We always encourage clients to back up data and ensure sensitive information is protected before the move.

What is included in a typical office removals service?

A standard office removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, IT, crates and boxes between your current and new premises. We protect items with blankets and straps, and we place them into the rooms or zones agreed in the move plan. On request, we can add extras such as packing materials, a full or partial packing service, furniture dismantling and reassembly, crate hire and short-term storage. All inclusions are confirmed in writing in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on move day.

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

While a casual man-and-van might suit very small, simple moves, our office removals service is designed for businesses that need structure and reliability. We offer proper planning, surveys, trained teams, appropriate vehicles, and fully insured operations. We coordinate with building management, work to agreed timelines and understand how to handle IT, filing systems and multi-desk layouts. This reduces risk, downtime and stress, giving you a predictable, professional move instead of a one-size-fits-all transport service.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For the smoothest experience, we recommend booking your office move at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you are planning to move at month-end or on a Friday. This gives us time to carry out a survey, plan the schedule and coordinate any special requirements such as out-of-hours work or lift bookings. However, we understand that business needs can change quickly, so if your timescales are tighter, contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate your move.
