Office Removals

Office Removals Putney – Professional Business Relocation by Putney Movers

At Putney Movers, we provide reliable, carefully planned office removals in Putney and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced removals company, we understand how important it is to move your business with minimal disruption, total security and clear communication from start to finish.

Specialist Office Removals in Putney

Office moves are different from domestic removals. There are staff to consider, IT systems to protect, data to secure and strict deadlines to meet. Our team specialises in:

• Small office moves for 1–10 staff
• Medium and large office relocations across London and the UK
• Internal office moves within the same building or business park
• Hybrid / flexible workspace moves, including co-working and serviced offices

We combine local Putney knowledge with proven commercial moving processes so your business can keep operating while we handle the heavy lifting.

Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Our service is designed for a wide range of clients in and around Putney:

• Homeowners running a business from home who need to move offices, studios or workshops
• Renters moving from one serviced or leased office to another
• Landlords needing offices cleared, reconfigured or prepared between tenancies
• Businesses of all sizes relocating within Putney, across London or nationwide
• Students with study spaces, equipment or small offices linked to university or start-up projects

Whether you are moving a single office or an entire floor, we tailor the plan around your working hours, building rules and IT requirements.

What’s Included in Our Office Removals

We can move almost everything you would typically find in a modern office, including:

• Desks, chairs, storage units and filing cabinets
• Boardroom and reception furniture
• Desktop PCs, laptops, monitors and docking stations
• Printers, scanners, copiers and peripheral equipment
• Server racks and network hardware (in coordination with your IT provider)
• Archives, documents and files in secure, sealed containers
• Kitchen appliances such as kettles, microwaves and small fridges
• Whiteboards, screens, artwork and display units

Items We Cannot Move

For legal, safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our office removals service:

• Hazardous or flammable materials (e.g. fuel, solvents, gas cylinders)
• Industrial machinery not designed for office environments
• Illegal items or goods without proper documentation
• Large safes or specialist equipment without prior assessment
• Live plants in poor condition or contaminated items

If you are unsure about a particular item, mention it during the survey and we will confirm what is possible and recommend alternatives if needed.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

You contact us with basic details: current and new addresses, size of your office, key dates and any time restrictions. We provide an initial estimate and explain how we would approach your move, including potential evening or weekend options if you want to avoid office hours.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We then carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, lifts, parking, IT equipment, furniture volumes and any fragile or high-value items. From this, we prepare a clear, itemised quotation and moving plan, including any packing services or crate hire you require.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed schedule, our trained team arrives with materials such as crates, boxes, labels and protective coverings. We can:

• Pack and label workstations, files and shared areas
• Protect desks, cabinets and sensitive equipment
• Coordinate with your IT provider for safe shutdown and cabling disconnection

Alternatively, if your staff are packing themselves, we provide guidance and materials so everything is ready for loading.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional movers load your items systematically, using padded protection, floor coverings and equipment to protect both buildings. Vehicles are packed to reduce movement in transit and routed carefully through London to avoid unnecessary delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new office, we unload and place items according to the agreed floor plan. We can rebuild standard modular desks, position chairs and cabinets, and place crates at the correct workstations. We work with you or your move coordinator to check rooms off one by one so you can get staff settled quickly.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our office removals in Putney are typically based on:

• Volume of furniture, equipment and files
• Access (stairs, lifts, loading bays and parking restrictions)
• Distance between locations
• Level of packing and dismantling required
• Out-of-hours or weekend working if requested

You receive a written quotation that explains what is included, any optional extras and how long the move is expected to take. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs (for example, unexpected delays caused by building access issues) are discussed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

Attempting to move an office with staff cars or a casual man-and-van service may appear cheaper, but it often leads to longer downtime, higher risk of damage and poor coordination. With Putney Movers you benefit from:

• Trained teams used to handling IT and office furniture
• Appropriate trolleys, skates and lifting equipment
• Planned timelines that work around your operations
• Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Clear labelling and layout planning for a smooth restart

The true cost of an office move is the disruption to your business; using experienced professionals keeps that disruption to a minimum.

Insurance & Professional Standards

As a local removals company, we take our responsibilities seriously. Putney Movers is:

• Fully insured with comprehensive goods in transit insurance for your office contents
• Covered by public liability insurance for work in offices, communal areas and public spaces
• Staffed by trained and uniformed removal teams familiar with commercial moves

We follow recognised industry practices for packing, lifting and transport. Risk assessments and method statements can be provided for building management or facilities teams where required.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office equipment and premises with the same care we would give our own. This includes:

• Using floor protection and corner guards where needed
• Wrapping desks, cabinets and fragile items
• Keeping IT equipment upright and well-padded

We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact by:

• Using reusable moving crates where possible
• Recycling or reusing packing materials
• Planning efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage

If you need old furniture removed, we can arrange ethical disposal or recycling options, subject to prior agreement.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving to a Larger Office

Growing businesses in Putney often outgrow their first offices quickly. We regularly help companies move into larger spaces, planning phased moves so teams can keep working while we relocate departments in stages.

Internal Office Reconfiguration

Sometimes you are not changing address at all. We can help with internal moves such as reshuffling departments, setting up new meeting rooms or relocating staff between floors out of hours to minimise disruption.

Urgent and Time-Sensitive Moves

Lease dates do not always line up neatly. Where possible, we accommodate urgent office removals and last-minute changes in Putney, providing additional vehicles or extended hours to help you vacate on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Putney cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your office, the volume of items, access at both properties and the distance between them. Smaller offices may be moved within a day, while multi-floor relocations can take longer and require more staff. After a survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation outlining labour, vehicles and any packing or crate hire. This way you can compare it directly with the cost of downtime and disruption. There are no hidden fees and any optional extras are itemised in advance.

Can you help with same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or urgent office removals in Putney. Availability will depend on the size of the move, access and how quickly we can complete a survey, even if virtual. For urgent moves, we focus on essentials first: IT equipment, key workstations and critical documents. We may then return for non-essential items if required. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move and we will honestly advise what can be achieved within your timeframe.

Are my office contents insured during the move?

Yes. Your office items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, as well as public liability cover for work on your premises. This protection is designed for normal office contents such as furniture, IT equipment and documents. High-value or specialist items should be declared during the survey so we can confirm appropriate cover or any additional requirements. Our trained teams also follow careful handling procedures to minimise the chance of damage in the first place.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment and boxed items between addresses. We can also provide optional extras such as packing, dismantling and reassembling desks, crate hire and protective materials. During planning, we agree a layout for the new office so items are placed in the correct rooms or workstations. We coordinate with your building management and, where required, your IT provider. Everything included will be listed clearly in your written quotation before you book.

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

A casual man-and-van service usually focuses on moving items from A to B with limited planning or protection. A professional office removal includes surveys, planning, labelled packing systems, protection for buildings and equipment, and fully insured transport. Our trained teams are used to handling IT, dealing with building managers and working out of hours. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and extended downtime for your staff, which is often where the real cost of an office move lies.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

For most office removals in Putney, we recommend contacting us 4–6 weeks before your ideal moving date. This allows time for surveys, coordination with building management and, if needed, staff communication about packing. Larger or multi-stage moves may benefit from even more notice so we can plan phased works around your operations. However, we understand that leases and circumstances change quickly, so we will always do our best to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule and resources allow.
