Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Although this page focuses on office moves, our commercial and business removals support a wide range of clients in and around Ilford:

• Homeowners running businesses from home who need to move office equipment safely.
• Renters moving into or out of serviced offices or co-working spaces.
• Landlords clearing or setting up furnished offices for new tenants.
• Businesses of all sizes relocating, upsizing, downsizing or reorganising their workspace.

Whether you are moving from a single room office or a multi-storey premises, Ilford Movers can build a plan that fits your timescales and budget.

What Our Office Removals Service Includes

We tailor each move, but a typical Ilford office removal can include:

• Desks, chairs and office furniture – dismantling, packing and reassembly where required.
• IT equipment – monitors, PCs, laptops, printers, servers and networking hardware, packed with anti-static protection.
• Filing cabinets and archives – secure transport of confidential documents in sealed crates.
• Reception and meeting room furniture – sofas, tables, cabinets and display units.
• Kitchen and breakout area items – appliances, tables, chairs and storage units.
• Business stock and materials – boxed, labelled and loaded systematically for easy setup at the new site.

Items Typically Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangement

There are some items we cannot move, or which need prior agreement:

• Hazardous materials (chemicals, gas cylinders, fuels, paint thinners, etc.).
• Illegal or prohibited goods.
• Large industrial machinery not suited to standard removals vehicles.
• High-value artwork or specialist equipment without prior declaration and assessment.
• Cash, jewellery and sensitive personal documents – these are best transported by you.

If you have unusual or high-value items, let us know during the survey so we can advise on safe and compliant handling.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

Everything starts with a simple enquiry. You can call, email or complete our online form with your current address, destination, proposed moving date and a brief overview of what needs to be moved. We will ask a few key questions about access, floors, lifts and any time restrictions. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation quotation and recommend the next steps.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office moves in Ilford, we carry out a detailed survey, either onsite or via video. This allows us to assess volumes, identify fragile or complex items, and understand parking, building access and any loading bay requirements. We then produce a clear move plan and final quote, outlining what is included so you know exactly what to expect on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

Good preparation is vital for a smooth office move. We can provide:

• Full packing service – our team packs your office contents, equipment and files using quality packing materials.
• Part packing – we handle delicate or bulky items while your staff pack personal desks and non-essential items.
• Crate hire – strong, stackable crates for files and IT, delivered in advance and collected after unpacking.

Every box and crate is labelled clearly to match your new floor plan, helping your staff settle in quickly.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our professional removals team arrives on time with the right vehicles and equipment. We protect floors, walls and lifts with covers and padding. Furniture is disassembled where needed and loaded systematically, keeping IT and key items accessible for first-off delivery. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while in our care, and our drivers follow pre-planned routes to minimise delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload in line with your agreed layout, placing desks, chairs and equipment in the correct positions. We can reassemble standard furniture and remove used packing materials for recycling where possible. The aim is to leave you with a functional workspace, ready for your team to plug in and start working with minimal disruption.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our office removals quotes are based on:

• Volume and type of items to be moved.
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle).
• Distance between locations.
• Level of packing service required.
• Timing (standard weekday, evening, weekend or bank holiday).

Your written quote will set out what is included, any optional extras and our terms. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs (such as parking permits or out-of-hours building access fees) are discussed in advance.

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

Moving an office is very different from moving a few boxes. A casual man-and-van service or DIY move may seem cheaper, but it often leads to extended downtime, damaged equipment and frustrated staff.

With Ilford Movers, you benefit from:

• Trained crews who understand how to handle IT, furniture systems and building protections.
• Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
• Project-managed moves that reduce disruption to your operations.
• Specialist equipment – trollies, skates, ramps and protective materials.
• Reliable vehicles maintained for commercial removals work.

The result is a safer move, fewer breakages and a quicker return to normal business.

Insurance & Professional Standards

As a responsible removals company, we maintain comprehensive insurance and high working standards:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your contents while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover for peace of mind in offices, communal areas and shared buildings.
• Trained moving teams who follow safe manual handling practices and company procedures.

We conduct regular staff training and equipment checks. Risk assessments and method statements can be provided where required by building management or larger corporate clients.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office as carefully as we would our own. Floors, walls, doors and lifts are protected with covers and padding. Monitors, glass and sensitive equipment are wrapped individually. We use quality packing materials and reusable crates wherever possible.

Our sustainability approach includes:

• Using reusable plastic crates for files and IT instead of single-use boxes where practical.
• Recycling cardboard, plastics and other materials after your move.
• Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage.

This combination of care and responsibility helps to limit waste and protect both your belongings and the buildings involved.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving to a Larger Office

Growing businesses in Ilford often need more space. We help you relocate to larger premises in stages if required, moving non-essential departments first, then critical teams out of hours or at weekends so you stay operational throughout.

Internal Office Reorganisation

Sometimes you are not changing address, just reconfiguring your existing workspace. Our team can move departments between floors, reposition furniture and relocate storage areas, all within your current building and agreed time windows.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Lease issues, building problems or sudden growth can trigger urgent relocations. Where our schedule allows, we can support short-notice and urgent office moves in Ilford, focusing on essential equipment and documents first to keep you trading.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office removal in Ilford cost?

The cost of an office removal depends on several factors: the size of your office, the volume and type of items, access at both sites, distance between locations and the level of packing support required. Smaller local moves may be completed within a day, while larger multi-floor relocations may need a phased approach. After a survey, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining all expected charges so you can budget confidently. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs, such as parking or out-of-hours fees, are discussed in advance.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or urgent office removals in Ilford. Availability will depend on crew, vehicle and equipment scheduling, so it is always best to contact us as early as possible. In urgent cases, we focus on your essential items first – IT, key documents and critical furniture – and can plan follow-up trips for less urgent contents. While we cannot guarantee same-day availability, we will always give you an honest assessment of what is realistically achievable within your timescales.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

Your office contents are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work in and around your buildings. This means you are protected in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident involving our team. We will explain the key terms and limits before the move, and you are welcome to ask for copies of our insurance details. For unusually high-value items, we may recommend additional cover or special handling arrangements.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes the trained removals crew, vehicles, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new premises. We can also provide packing materials, full or part packing services, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and crate hire for files and IT. Each quotation clearly states what is and is not included, so there are no surprises on move day. If you require out-of-hours moves, storage, or phased relocations, we can add these as tailored options to suit your business needs.

How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?

A professional office removals service is structured around planning, protection and minimising downtime. We provide trained crews, fully insured vehicles, risk assessments where required, and proper packing and handling for IT and furniture. A man-and-van service may be suitable for very small, low-risk moves, but often lacks the insurance, equipment and experience needed for business relocations. With Ilford Movers, you have a clear schedule, dedicated contact and a team used to working in office buildings, coordinating with facilities managers and adhering to building rules.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For most office moves, we recommend booking at least 3–6 weeks in advance to allow time for surveys, planning and staff communication. Larger or more complex relocations may benefit from even longer lead times. That said, we understand that business moves are not always predictable, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. The sooner you contact us, the more flexibility we have with dates, crew allocation and vehicle availability, especially for evenings, weekends and month-end periods which are typically busier.
