Office Removals

Office Removals in Shoreditch by Shoreditch Movers

Shoreditch Movers provides specialist office removals for businesses of all sizes across Shoreditch and the surrounding London areas. With years of hands-on experience moving busy workspaces, studios and co-working offices, we focus on careful planning, safe handling and keeping your downtime to an absolute minimum.

Professional Office Removals Explained

Office removals are very different from a standard house move. You have staff to consider, IT systems to protect, data to secure and a business that still needs to function. Our service is built around that reality.

We provide a fully managed move, including:

• Detailed pre-move planning and timeline scheduling
• Specialist packing for IT, files and fragile equipment
• Labelling systems to ensure everything lands in the right place
• Co-ordination with building management at both ends
• Out-of-hours and weekend moves to reduce disruption

Every job is handled by a trained, uniformed team, with clear communication from first enquiry to final sign-off.

Local Shoreditch Office Move Specialists

Operating right in the heart of Shoreditch, we understand the local challenges: tight streets, loading restrictions, shared workspaces and busy reception areas. We deal daily with Shoreditch offices in converted warehouses, creative studios, serviced offices and co-working hubs.

Because we're truly local, we know:

• Peak traffic times to avoid for larger vehicles
• How to work with on-site security and concierge teams
• Best access points, lifts and loading bays for key buildings
• How to plan moves around your neighbours and shared spaces

This local knowledge means smoother moves, tighter timings and less stress for your team.

Who Our Office Removal Service Is For

Although this page focuses on Shoreditch office removals, our commercial moving expertise benefits a wide range of clients:

Homeowners

Running a business from home or moving a home office? We carefully relocate home offices, studios and workspaces, keeping tech and files safe and organised.

Renters

Shifting from a rented studio or shared workspace? We help renters move their office setups cleanly and efficiently, respecting building rules and deposit conditions.

Landlords

Landlords and property managers use us to clear or reconfigure office and mixed-use spaces between tenants, including careful removal of furniture and workstations.

Businesses

From start-ups to established firms, we manage small office moves, full-floor relocations and internal re-stacks, often out of hours, so teams stay productive.

Students & Solo Workers

Freelancers and students with high-value equipment – such as designers, videographers and developers – rely on us to move kit safely between studios, halls and shared spaces.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

We regularly move:

• Desks, chairs, meeting tables and storage units
• Desktop computers, monitors, laptops and docking stations
• Servers, network equipment and telecoms hardware (disconnected)
• Printers, scanners and multi-function devices
• Office kitchen equipment such as kettles, microwaves and small fridges
• Files, archives and confidential documents (with secure packing)
• Whiteboards, noticeboards, artwork and display materials

Items Typically Excluded

For safety, legal or specialist reasons, we normally cannot move:

• Hazardous materials (chemicals, solvents, gas cylinders)
• Large industrial machinery needing specialist lifting
• Items fixed into the building (unless pre-arranged deinstallation)
• Live data cabling or connected electrical work
• Cash, high-value jewellery or sensitive personal items

If you're unsure about a specific item, we can advise during the survey and, if needed, recommend a specialist contractor.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

Once you contact us, we discuss your current office, new location, dates and any time restrictions. For straightforward smaller moves, we may provide an initial estimate based on your inventory and access details. This gives you a clear starting point and helps you budget.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office moves we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. We assess access, lifts, parking, stairs, number of workstations, IT equipment and storage. This allows us to plan vehicle sizes, crew numbers, packing needs and timings precisely, and to provide a firm, written quote with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

In the lead-up to moving day, we can supply crates, boxes and labels, or provide a full packing service. Our team can:

• Pack IT equipment using anti-static and protective materials
• Pack and label files and archives in sequence
• Dismantle desks and furniture where required
• Protect doors, lifts and common areas in both buildings

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional crew arrives on time with the right vehicles and equipment. We load systematically, floor by floor or department by department, following the agreed labelling plan. All goods are protected with blankets, straps and covers, then transported in our sign-written vehicles under goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office we unload in the order that supports your set-up plan. Workstations, meeting rooms and shared spaces are placed as agreed. We can reassemble standard furniture and position IT equipment ready for your technicians to reconnect. Before we leave, we walk through with you to ensure everything is where it needs to be.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals

We price office removals based on several factors:

• Size of the office and number of workstations
• Volume and type of furniture and equipment
• Distance between locations
• Access issues (stairs, lifts, loading restrictions)
• Level of packing service required
• Timing (standard hours, evenings, weekends)

All quotes are clear and itemised, so you can see exactly what is included. We avoid vague "day rates" where possible, giving you a realistic fixed price for the agreed scope. Any potential extra charges (for example, additional packing materials or storage) are discussed upfront.

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

Attempting a DIY office move, or hiring a casual man-and-van, often seems cheaper but can be costly in downtime, damage and disruption.

With Shoreditch Movers you benefit from:

• Trained crews used to handling IT and office furniture
• Proper planning to keep your business running smoothly
• Protective materials for floors, lifts and equipment
• Fully insured vehicles and operatives
• Reliable timings and clear communication

Lost data, broken equipment or a delayed move can cost far more than a professional removal service. We focus on doing it once, and doing it properly.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your business assets are important, and we treat them accordingly. Shoreditch Movers operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for peace of mind in shared buildings and communal areas
• Trained, experienced crews who follow safe lifting and handling practices

We work closely with building management where required, follow health and safety guidelines, and maintain clean, well-equipped vehicles. Documentation and risk assessments can be provided for larger or more complex moves.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We believe an office move should be both careful and responsible. Our approach includes:

• Using re-usable plastic crates where possible to cut down on cardboard
• Recycling materials such as cardboard and shrink-wrap responsibly
• Protecting doorways, lifts and floors to avoid damage to your premises
• Planning vehicle loads to minimise trips and fuel use

We handle your equipment and furniture as if it were our own, using blankets, covers and straps to prevent knocks and scrapes. Our crews work methodically rather than rushing, so items arrive in the same condition they left.

Real-World Office Removal Scenarios

Moving to a Larger Shoreditch Office

Growing companies often outgrow their first space quickly. We regularly move expanding teams into larger offices, setting up new desk layouts, meeting rooms and breakout spaces, often over a single weekend so staff return to a fully functioning workspace on Monday.

Internal Office Reconfiguration

Sometimes you don't need to move buildings at all. We help businesses rearrange floors, swap departments, create hot-desking zones or rationalise storage, moving and reassembling furniture with minimal disruption during or outside working hours.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Lease issues, building works or unexpected growth can force a rapid move. Subject to availability, we can arrange urgent office removals at short notice, prioritising critical IT and workstations first so your team can keep working.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office removal in Shoreditch cost?

The cost of an office removal depends on office size, volume of furniture and equipment, distance between sites, access, and whether you need packing services. Smaller Shoreditch offices can sometimes be moved in half a day, while larger multi-floor spaces may require a full day or phased approach. After a survey, we provide a clear, written quote with all labour, vehicles and standard protective materials included, so you know exactly what to budget for before committing.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can support same-day or urgent moves, particularly within Shoreditch and nearby areas. Availability will depend on crew and vehicle capacity, as well as the size and complexity of your office. For urgent moves, we focus on critical items first – such as IT equipment and essential workstations – so your core team can operate quickly at the new site. It’s always best to call us directly to discuss timescales and options.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

All our office removals are covered by goods in transit insurance, protecting your items while they are being moved in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover, which is important when working in shared buildings, co-working spaces and managed offices. This cover sits alongside our careful handling, protective packing and experienced crews. We can provide copies of insurance documents for your records or for building management, and we are happy to explain how cover works in practical terms for your specific move.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes professional crews, vehicles, loading, transport and unloading into your new office as agreed. We bring blankets, straps and basic protective materials as standard. Most clients also ask us to supply crates or boxes, dismantle and reassemble desks, and carefully pack IT or archive materials. These options can be added to your quote. We can also co-ordinate access with building management and work outside normal office hours by arrangement to reduce disruption to your staff.

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

A casual man-and-van may be suitable for a few personal items, but an office move demands structured planning, protection and accountability. With us, you get trained movers who understand office furniture, IT equipment and building requirements. We provide written quotes, scheduled crews, insurance, protective materials and clear communication throughout. This reduces the risk of damage, data loss, missed deadlines and hidden costs. In short, a professional service is designed around keeping your business running smoothly.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

For most office removals, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a weekend or evening slot. Larger or more complex moves may benefit from a longer lead time so we can survey, plan and co-ordinate with building management. That said, we understand that circumstances aren’t always ideal, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can offer.
