• Desks, ergonomic chairs, filing cabinets and cupboards
• Desktop computers, laptops, monitors, docking stations and peripherals
• Servers, routers, network equipment and associated cabling (disconnected by your IT team)
• Printers, scanners, photocopiers and other office machinery

What Is Not Included or Needs Special Arrangement

To keep everyone safe and compliant, some items are excluded or must be agreed in advance:

• Industrial machinery requiring specialist lifting or decommissioning
• Large safes or heavy fire-proof cabinets above safe manual lifting limits
• Live plants in poor condition or those needing climate-controlled transport

If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, we will clarify this during the survey and suggest safe alternatives where possible.

Our Office Removals Process

We use a simple, transparent process so you always know what will happen next.

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your current address, destination, preferred dates and a brief description of your office layout. We will ask about access, parking, floors, lifts and any time restrictions in your building. Using this information, we provide an initial estimate and explain the options available, such as packing services or out-of-hours moves.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most office removals in Catford, we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume, staircases, lift access and any fragile or high-value items. The survey ensures the correct vehicle size, number of movers and timing, reducing the risk of delays on the day. Following the survey, we confirm a clear, written quotation and schedule.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing – we supply boxes and materials, and our team packs IT equipment, files and general office contents.
• Part packing – we pack only selected areas or fragile items while your staff pack the rest.
• Self packing – you pack everything and we supply materials if required.

We use quality packing materials, anti-static protection for electronics where appropriate, and clear labelling by department or room to make setup at the new premises smoother.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and protects key areas such as entrances, lifts and floors. Furniture is disassembled where needed, wrapped, and loaded methodically. IT and fragile items are secured separately. Our vehicles are equipped with ties, blankets and trolleys, and your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance while on the move.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload in the agreed order to help you get critical areas running first – often reception, meeting rooms or key teams. Desks and furniture are reassembled, and items are placed in the correct rooms or zones based on your plan. We will reposition items within reason, so you are comfortable with the layout before we leave.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our office removals in Catford are usually charged based on:

• Volume of goods and complexity of the layout
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Distance between properties
• Access issues (stairs, no lift, restricted parking, loading bays)
• Optional services such as packing, materials and out-of-hours work

Your written quote will outline what is included, any potential additional charges (for example, if access information changes on the day), and payment terms. We are always happy to walk through the quote line by line so you can budget confidently.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Attempting an office move with borrowed vans or casual help often leads to extended downtime, increased risk of damage and health and safety issues. A structured move with a fully insured, trained team brings several benefits:

• Efficient planning reduces the time your business is unable to operate normally.
• Proper lifting techniques and equipment help protect staff from injury.
• Specialist handling of IT equipment and furniture minimises breakages.
• Clear responsibility – you know exactly who is looking after your assets.

Our approach allows your team to focus on their work, while we manage the physical move safely and systematically.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a professional removals company, we operate to recognised standards and carry appropriate cover for your peace of mind.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our activities.
• Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on manual handling, safe loading and customer care.

Policy details and limits are available on request, and we can provide documentation for building management or landlords where required.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every office move as if it were our own workplace being relocated. Our team uses floor protectors, furniture blankets and appropriate wrapping to prevent scuffs, scratches and dents. We also work carefully around existing tenants and neighbours to reduce noise and disruption.

Where possible, we reuse and recycle packing materials and avoid unnecessary journeys by planning routes efficiently. If you have furniture or equipment that you no longer need, we can discuss options for reuse, donation or responsible recycling to reduce waste.

Real-World Office Removals Scenarios

Our office removals in Catford cover a wide range of situations, including:

• Moving house and office together – combining a home move with relocation of a home office or studio.
• Office relocation – shifting from one commercial space to another, often over a weekend to limit downtime.
• Urgent moves – short-notice relocations due to lease changes, building issues or business growth, subject to availability.
• Internal moves – reconfiguring floors or departments within the same building.

Whatever your circumstances, we plan around your priorities: continuity of service, security of sensitive items and a clear, calm moving day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Catford cost?

The cost of an office removal in Catford depends on several factors: the size of your office, volume of furniture and equipment, access at both properties, travel distance and whether you require packing services or out-of-hours work. Smaller office moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger relocations are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. We always provide a clear written quotation outlining what is included, so you can compare costs and plan your budget with confidence before committing.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We can often help with same-day or urgent office removals, particularly for smaller setups, subject to existing bookings and team availability. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early as possible with details of your current and new addresses, access information and key items to be moved. We will quickly assess whether we can safely complete the work to our usual standards. Where we can assist, we will provide a realistic timescale and clear pricing so you know exactly what can be achieved.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

Your office contents are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy limits and terms. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third-party property during the move. These policies are designed to sit alongside your own business and contents insurance, not replace them entirely. If you have high-value or specialist items, let us know in advance so we can confirm cover levels and, if needed, discuss additional arrangements or recommendations.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of agreed items between the specified addresses, plus basic protection such as blankets and wrapping. We disassemble and reassemble standard office furniture where required and place items in the rooms or areas you specify. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials and out-of-hours or weekend moves. Your quotation will clearly list what is included on the day so there are no surprises. If you need something specific, simply ask during the survey.

How do professional office removals differ from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service may be suitable for very small, simple moves, but office relocations usually benefit from a structured approach. With Man with Van Catford, you receive a planned survey, written quotation, trained staff, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and appropriate equipment to protect your building and assets. We coordinate access, lifts and loading bays, label and organise items, and work to minimise downtime. In short, you gain accountability, reduced risk and a smoother experience compared with an unstructured, ad-hoc service.

How far in advance should I book my office removal?

For the best choice of dates and to allow proper planning, we recommend booking your office removal at least two to four weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving at busy times such as month-end or weekends. Larger offices may need a longer lead-in to coordinate building management, parking suspensions and IT schedules. That said, we do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us with your preferred date and approximate requirements, the more options we can offer and the smoother your move will be.
