Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
Contact us by phone or email with basic details: current and new address, floor levels, access, approximate number of staff and your preferred moving date. We provide an initial guide price based on this information and discuss any time constraints, such as needing to move outside normal working hours.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
We then arrange a detailed survey, either onsite or via video call. This allows us to:
- Assess access, lifts, stairs and parking
- Count workstations, furniture and IT items
- Identify fragile or high-value equipment
- Agree what you will pack and what we will pack
Following the survey, we send a written, fixed quote with a clear breakdown of services.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible packing options, including:
- Full packing – we pack everything, label crates and boxes by department or area
- Partial packing – we pack selected items such as IT, while your staff pack personal belongings
- Self-packing – we supply crates and materials for your team to pack
We provide high-quality packing materials and use protective wraps and covers for screens, furniture and delicate surfaces.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, fully briefed on your move plan. We:
- Protect floors, walls and lifts where required
- Dismantle furniture as needed (and agreed in advance)
- Securely pack and label IT equipment and cables
- Load systematically, usually by department or zone, to speed up unloading
Your goods are transported in clean, purpose-built removal vehicles with goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind.
5. Unloading, Placement & Reassembly
At your new office, we place items according to the agreed floor plan. Our team:
- Positions desks, cabinets and meeting room furniture
- Reassembles dismantled items
- Places clearly labelled crates in the correct rooms or departments
- Removes our used packing materials and leaves the space tidy
The goal is for your staff to arrive to a functioning workspace, with minimal setup needed.
Transparent Pricing for Office Removals
Office removal costs depend on the size and complexity of the move. We consider:
- Volume of furniture, equipment and files
- Number of staff or workstations
- Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Distance between locations
- Need for packing, crate hire and storage
- Out-of-hours or weekend working
We provide clear written quotations with no hidden extras. Any optional services – such as packing, storage or additional drop-offs – are listed separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van?
Office moves are complex projects rather than just transport jobs. Choosing a professional removals company offers several advantages over DIY or casual man-and-van options:
- Structured planning to reduce downtime and disruption
- Experienced handling of IT, furniture and confidential records
- Appropriate vehicles, trolleys and lifting equipment
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Uniformed, trained staff following safe working practices
While a basic man-and-van may appear cheaper initially, damage, delays and staff downtime can quickly outweigh any savings. A planned, insured service protects your business and your reputation.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Movers Surrey operates to recognised industry standards for commercial moves. We provide:
- Goods in transit insurance for your furniture and equipment while being moved
- Public liability cover for work carried out in offices, communal areas and car parks
- Trained moving teams with experience in manual handling and safe loading
- Detailed move plans for larger relocations, including risk assessments where required
Copies of our insurance certificates and method statements are available on request, and we are happy to liaise with your building or facilities manager to meet any compliance requirements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your premises and equipment with care. On every office removal we:
- Use floor protection, door covers and bannister wraps where needed
- Wrap furniture and IT equipment in padded covers
- Use tie straps and blankets in our vehicles to prevent movement
We also aim to work as sustainably as possible by:
- Using reusable plastic crates for files and IT where practical
- Recycling cardboard and packaging materials
- Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
Where you have unwanted furniture or equipment, we can help arrange responsible disposal or recycling through approved partners.
Real-World Office Removals and Other Use Cases
Office Relocation Within Surrey
We regularly help businesses move between offices in the same town or nearby areas – for example, a company upsizing from a serviced office in Guildford to a larger space in Woking. These moves often involve weekend work and careful planning so staff can log in as normal on Monday morning.
Mixed Home and Office Moves
For business owners and senior staff, a relocation often includes both home and office moves. We can coordinate these together, ensuring home-office equipment, documents and personal IT are packed and transported safely between locations.
Urgent and Time-Sensitive Moves
Sometimes lease changes, emergencies or contract wins mean you need to move quickly. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or short-notice office removals, focusing on critical items first so your core operations can continue with minimal interruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Surrey cost?
The cost of an office removal in Surrey depends on the volume of furniture and equipment, access at each property, the distance between addresses and whether you need packing, crate hire or storage. Smaller office moves can sometimes be completed within a single day, while larger multi-floor relocations may require several days and multiple teams. After a survey, we provide a fixed quotation with all agreed services clearly set out, so you can budget accurately and obtain any necessary approvals from management or finance.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent office moves, depending on our schedule and the scale of your project. For smaller offices or partial relocations, we may be able to respond at very short notice, especially within Surrey. For larger moves, even when time is tight, we will still carry out a quick survey or detailed call to ensure we understand your priorities. We then focus on essential items and departments first, helping you stay operational while the rest of the move is completed.
What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?
We include goods in transit insurance for items we move, protecting your office furniture and equipment while they are in our care and vehicles. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to the buildings or third-party property during the move. Specific limits and terms apply, which we are happy to share before you book. For very high-value IT or specialist equipment, we recommend discussing levels of cover so we can ensure everything is adequately protected throughout the relocation.
What is included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes a pre-move survey, a professional removals team, removal vehicles, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new premises. We can also provide packing materials, crate hire, full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and short- or long-term storage if needed. Every move is slightly different, so we tailor the quote to match your requirements. All agreed services appear clearly in writing so you know exactly what is included before moving day.
How is a professional office removal different from a man-and-van service?
A professional office removal is a planned project, not just a transport job. We carry out a survey, create a move plan, allocate the right size of team and vehicles, and bring specialist equipment such as crate systems, IT protection and floor coverings. Our trained staff follow agreed schedules to minimise downtime and handle items carefully. Casual man-and-van services typically do not include detailed planning, insurance to the same level, or experience with larger office environments, which can increase the risk of delays and damage.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For most office moves, we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, especially if you are tied to a specific date dictated by a lease or landlord. This allows time for surveys, planning, crate delivery and staff communication. Larger or multi-phase relocations may require more lead time. That said, we regularly help clients on shorter timescales and will always try to accommodate your preferred dates where possible, particularly for moves within Surrey and nearby areas.
