Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Once you contact Maida Vale Movers, we discuss the size of your office, locations involved, access details and timescales. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included, any optional services and the likely schedule.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most office removals, we carry out a detailed virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to:
- Assess access, lifts, stairwells and parking
- Count workstations, furniture and IT equipment
- Identify items that may need dismantling/reassembly
- Plan the sequence of the move to minimise disruption
The survey ensures we allocate the correct team size, vehicles, packing materials and time.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible packing options:
- Full packing service – Our trained team packs documents, equipment and furniture using suitable materials.
- Part packing – We handle fragile or IT items; your staff pack personal belongings and non-essential items.
- Self-pack – We supply crates and materials; your team packs, and we handle the move.
We provide labels and a clear numbering system so everything arrives in the correct department or desk area at the new site.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional crew protects floors, lifts and doorways before any loading starts. Each item is padded or wrapped as required, then carefully loaded onto our vehicles. Your contents are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our care, and vehicles are securely locked whenever unattended.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new premises we unload and place items according to the agreed floor plan. Desks and furniture are positioned in their designated locations; dismantled items are reassembled where possible. We remove used packing materials and can arrange crate collection once your team has unpacked.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We price office removals based on several clear factors:
- Volume of furniture, IT equipment and files
- Number of locations (e.g. multi-floor or multi-site moves)
- Access and any parking or lift constraints
- Distance between properties
- Level of packing and dismantling required
- Whether evening or weekend working is needed
All costs are itemised in your written quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, parking suspensions) are discussed in advance.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Attempting an office move using staff or a casual man-and-van often results in delays, damage and unnecessary stress. Our trained teams understand how to move IT, manage cable runs and keep essential equipment accessible. We coordinate with your IT provider, building management and facilities team, something casual operators rarely handle well.
With Maida Vale Movers you benefit from:
- Structured planning and clear timelines
- Correct equipment – trolleys, ramps, protection and tools
- Fully insured cover for your contents and premises
- Reliable crews who turn up on time and in uniform
This reduces risk, downtime and disruption to your staff and clients.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We work to high professional standards to protect your business, your premises and your data.
- Goods in transit insurance – Your office contents are protected while being moved between locations.
- Public liability cover – For your peace of mind when we are working in your building or shared spaces.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff receive ongoing training in safe handling, lifting techniques and secure transport of IT and documents.
We are happy to provide copies of insurance documents and risk assessments on request, which can be useful for building management or compliance teams.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your equipment and the buildings we work in is a priority. We use floor protectors, door jamb covers, padded blankets and specialist covers for screens and office chairs. Fragile items and IT equipment are packed with appropriate cushioning and labelled clearly.
We also take a thoughtful approach to sustainability:
- Reusable crates and containers wherever possible
- Recycling of cartons and packing materials after use
- Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage
- Option to remove and recycle unwanted office furniture
This helps you reduce waste and environmental impact during your move.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving a Small Professional Practice
We regularly relocate solicitors, accountants and consultants within Maida Vale. These moves focus on protecting confidential files, keeping IT downtime short and ensuring clients can still reach you throughout the process.
Multi-Floor Office Relocation
For larger businesses, we phase moves by department, enabling sections of the company to remain operational while others relocate. We coordinate with your facilities team to line up desk layouts, cabling and meeting rooms.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Lease changes or unexpected issues sometimes demand a fast turnaround. Where capacity allows, we can organise same-day or short-notice office removals in Maida Vale, focusing on essential equipment and priority teams first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Maida Vale cost?
The cost depends on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both locations and the level of packing required. Smaller offices may be completed in a single day with one team and vehicle, while larger multi-floor moves are priced over several days. After a survey, we provide a detailed written quote showing labour, vehicles, packing materials and any optional services. This way you can compare costs accurately and adjust the scope, if needed, to match your budget.
Can you handle urgent or same-day office moves?
Where our schedule allows, we can assist with urgent or short-notice office removals in Maida Vale. The more information you can provide when you contact us, the better we can prioritise essential items such as servers, key workstations and reception areas. For very tight deadlines, we may suggest a phased move, starting with core operations and completing non-essential areas later. While same-day availability cannot be guaranteed, we will always be honest about capacity and offer the most practical options.
What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?
Your office contents are protected by our standard goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our care. We also hold public liability cover, which protects you in the unlikely event of damage to the building or third-party property during the move. Specific limits and terms can be supplied on request, and we recommend you review them alongside your own business and IT insurance. If you have particularly high-value items, let us know before the move so we can discuss any additional arrangements.
What is included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes a pre-move assessment, supply of basic packing materials, loading, transport, unloading and placement of furniture and equipment. We protect floors and key access points, dismantle and reassemble standard office furniture where required, and position items according to your agreed plan. Optional extras include full or partial packing, crate hire, specialist IT packing, out-of-hours working and furniture disposal. All inclusions and optional services are listed clearly in your quote so you can choose the level of support your business needs.
How is a professional office removal different from a man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van typically provides basic transport only, with limited planning, equipment and insurance. A professional office removals service like ours includes surveys, scheduling, labelled packing systems and coordination with your building and IT teams. We use trained staff, protective materials, suitable vehicles and hold appropriate insurance for business moves. This reduces the risk of damage, data loss and extended downtime. For commercial environments, a structured, accountable service is usually far more cost-effective than relying on ad-hoc transport options.
How far in advance should I book my office move?
For most office removals, we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, especially if you require weekend or evening slots. This gives time for surveys, coordination with building management, arranging parking suspensions if needed and planning any IT changes. However, we understand that business timescales are not always flexible; if your deadline is sooner, contact us and we will see what is possible. Early booking simply gives you more choice on dates and allows for a smoother, more controlled move.
