Our team arrives with clean, well-maintained vehicles, professional moving equipment and high-quality packing materials to ensure everything is transported safely.

Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

While this page focuses on offices, our service is suitable for a wide range of clients in and around Greenwich:

We tailor each move to your situation, schedule and building access, whether you are in a serviced office, shared workspace, shop unit, or traditional office building.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: current and new addresses, size of your office, key dates and any access constraints. We discuss your requirements and provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, timings and any optional extras such as packing.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or, where helpful, onsite. We assess access, stairs or lifts, loading points, parking, and the quantity and type of items. This helps us allocate the right vehicle, team size and time, reducing the risk of surprises on moving day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between a full or partial packing service, or pack yourselves. If we are packing, our trained team will carefully wrap monitors, IT and fragile items, label crates by department or room, and protect furniture with covers and padding. We provide high-quality materials, including boxes, crates, bubble wrap and tape.

4. Loading & Transport

On the day, we arrive on time, walk through the job with you, and agree priorities. We protect floors and banisters where needed, then systematically dismantle, wrap and load items. Our professional movers secure everything within the vehicle using straps and blankets. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance during the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new premises, we unload into the rooms or departments you specify. Furniture is reassembled where agreed, and items are placed according to your floorplan as far as possible. We remove our packing materials and check you are happy with the layout before we leave.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume and type of items to be moved
• Distance between properties
• Access conditions (stairs, narrow corridors, parking)
• Level of service – packing service or transport only
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Any out-of-hours or weekend work requested

Your written quote clearly lists what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. If your requirements change, we update the quote in advance wherever possible, rather than adding unexpected costs on the day.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Instead of DIY

Using a professional office removals service offers several advantages over a DIY move or an informal man-and-van arrangement:

• Reduced downtime – experienced planning means your staff are back to work sooner
• Proper protection – appropriate covers, equipment and handling techniques
• Fully insured – protection for your equipment and premises
• Health and safety – correct lifting methods, risk awareness and team coordination
• Accountability – agreed scope of work and clear point of contact

DIY moves often underestimate time, vehicle space and the physical effort involved, which can lead to rushed handling, damage or injuries. A structured, professional service significantly reduces these risks.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man With a Van Greenwich operates to clear, professional standards for every office move:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being transported in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protection in case of accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe handling, loading and basic furniture disassembly
• Clean, maintained vehicles – checked regularly to reduce the risk of breakdowns mid-move

We are happy to provide evidence of our insurance on request, and to discuss any particular concerns you may have regarding valuable or sensitive equipment.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We move your office as if it were our own. That means:

• Using padded covers, blankets and shrink wrap to protect furniture
• Wrapping monitors and fragile equipment individually
• Protecting doors, floors and bannisters where needed
• Planning safe lifting routes to avoid unnecessary risk

We also aim to work sustainably by:

• Reusing strong crates and cartons where appropriate
• Separating and recycling old packing materials
• Combining journeys sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage

Where you are clearing out unwanted furniture, we can discuss responsible disposal or reuse options as part of your move plan.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving to a Larger Office

Growing businesses often outgrow their first premises. We regularly help companies move to larger offices, planning phased moves so that critical staff and departments can stay operational throughout.

Internal Office Moves

Sometimes you are not changing address but need to rearrange your layout, relocate teams between floors or repurpose meeting rooms. We can handle internal moves outside working hours to minimise disruption.

Home Office and Hybrid Working Set-Ups

With more staff working flexibly, we help move desks, chairs and IT equipment between homes and central offices, ensuring equipment arrives safely and is easy to reassemble.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Lease issues, building works or sudden growth can mean you need to move quickly. Subject to availability, we can arrange urgent office removals in Greenwich, providing a focused, practical service to get you relocated in the required timescale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Greenwich cost?

The cost depends on the size of your office, the distance between properties, access at each end and whether you need packing included. Smaller office moves within Greenwich can sometimes be completed in a single vehicle load with a small team, while larger multi-floor moves will require more staff and time. After a brief discussion, and usually a survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation outlining all costs so you know exactly what to budget for before you commit.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We can often help with short-notice or urgent office moves, especially within Greenwich, but availability will depend on our existing bookings and the size of your relocation. If you need a rapid move, contact us as soon as possible with your key details. We will be honest about what is achievable within your timeframe and may suggest staged moves or out-of-hours work to meet your deadline while still handling your equipment safely and professionally.

Are my office items insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover for work at both addresses. This offers reassurance in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident during the move. We still handle everything with great care, but insurance provides an important extra level of protection. If you have specific high-value items, let us know so we can discuss any additional arrangements or documentation you may need.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes planning your move, supplying a suitable vehicle and professional team, safely loading and transporting your office contents, and unloading and placing items at the new premises. We can also provide optional packing services, including materials and labelled crates, as well as basic disassembly and reassembly of standard office furniture. What is included will be clearly listed in your quote, so there is no confusion on the day. If you need anything extra, raise it at the planning stage so we can incorporate it.

How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?

While simple man-and-van services can move a few items, a professional office removal focuses on planning, protection and continuity of business. We conduct surveys, assess access, allocate the right team size and use proper equipment and packing methods. Our work is fully insured and carried out by trained staff who move offices regularly, not just general loads. This reduces the risk of delays, damage and health and safety issues, which are particularly important when relocating multiple staff, IT systems and essential business records.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For most office moves, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time slot, or are planning a weekend move. This allows time for surveys, building access arrangements and packing. Larger or more complex relocations may benefit from even more notice so we can schedule everything carefully. That said, we understand that circumstances change; if you are working to a tight timescale, contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your move within our diary.
