What’s Included in Our Office Removals Service

Items We Commonly Move

We can safely move most standard office contents, including:

• Desks, chairs and workstations (including height-adjustable and executive desks)
• Filing cabinets, cupboards and storage units
• Computers, monitors, servers and IT equipment (with appropriate protection)
• Printers, photocopiers and other office machinery
• Meeting room furniture – tables, chairs, whiteboards

• Kitchen items – kettles, microwaves, fridges and small appliances

Items We Cannot or Generally Do Not Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need special arrangements:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, chemicals, solvents, gas cylinders)
• Illegal or controlled items
• Large industrial machinery not designed for standard premises
• High-value artwork or antiques without prior assessment
• Cash, sensitive data backups or irreplaceable documents (we recommend secure courier or in-person transport)

If you have anything unusual, mention it during your enquiry so we can assess whether we can safely and legally move it.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

Contact Man with Van Dulwich by phone or email with the basics: current address, destination, rough inventory, floors, and any access issues. We’ll provide an initial estimate based on the information you give and discuss your preferred moving dates and timing (including out-of-hours moves if required).

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office moves, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to understand:

• Volume of furniture and equipment
• Number of staff being relocated
• Lift access, staircases and parking restrictions
• Any dismantling or specialist handling required

Following the survey, we’ll provide a clear, written quote and outline the plan for moving day.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer flexible packing support depending on your needs:

• Full packing service – we supply materials, pack workstations, files and equipment.
• Part packing – we handle breakables, IT and heavy items; your team pack personal effects.
• Materials only – we supply boxes and packing materials so you can pack yourselves.

Desks and furniture can be dismantled and reassembled by our team where required. IT equipment is labelled, wrapped and loaded carefully to avoid damage.

4. Loading & Transport

On the day, our trained removals team arrive on time, walk the site and confirm the plan. We use floor and wall protection where appropriate and load in a logical order to make unloading more efficient at the new office.

Your goods are covered under our goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles. We use secure, well-maintained vans suitable for office moves in and around Dulwich.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new premises, we unload and place items in the correct rooms or work areas as agreed during planning. We can:

• Rebuild desks and standard office furniture
• Position meeting room and reception furniture
• Place labelled boxes at the correct workstations

We’ll check you’re happy with the layout before we leave and remove any major packing materials we’ve supplied.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Office removals are usually priced based on:

• Volume of furniture, equipment and boxes
• Number of movers required
• Distance between addresses
• Access (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions)
• Level of packing and dismantling needed
• Out-of-hours or weekend work

Once we’ve completed your survey, we provide a written quote with no hidden extras for the agreed scope of work. If you ask for additional services on the day (for example, extra packing or added drop-offs), we’ll explain any additional costs before proceeding.

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

Trying to move an office using staff cars, borrowed vans or an unstructured man-and-van can quickly become stressful and risky. Professional office removals offer clear advantages:

• Planning and coordination – we map out the move so work disruption is kept to a minimum.
• Proper protection – your IT equipment, furniture and documents are packed and transported safely.
• Time efficiency – our experienced teams complete moves faster than untrained helpers.
• Reduced risk of injury – trained movers handle heavy items correctly.
• Insurance-backed – your goods are covered under appropriate policies, unlike many informal services.

A casual service may seem cheaper at first glance, but the cost of damage, lost working time or missed deadlines can be far higher.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man with Van Dulwich operates to clear professional standards. We are:

• Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your office contents while in our vehicles.
• Protected by public liability insurance for work on your premises.
• Staffed by trained and experienced movers who handle items with care and respect.

We’ll explain the key terms of our insurance cover before your move and can answer any specific questions about high-value items or particular risks.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office as if it were our own. During the move we use protective covers, blankets and, where appropriate, floor protectors to reduce the risk of scuffs and damage. Monitors, screens and sensitive equipment are wrapped and secured.

We also aim to work as responsibly as possible:

• Reusing strong packing materials where safe and hygienic
• Offering collection and recycling of unwanted furniture by arrangement
• Planning efficient routes to minimise unnecessary mileage

Real-World Office Removal Use Cases

• Full office relocation in Dulwich – moving an entire team to larger premises, with weekend packing and a structured move so staff can return to desks on Monday.
• Partial office move – relocating one department or a group of staff to a satellite office while leaving the rest of the business in place.
• Urgent office moves – short-notice relocations due to lease issues, refurbishment, or unexpected building problems.
• Hybrid and flexible working changes – downsizing to smaller offices or moving to co-working spaces, including furniture clearance and redistribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office removal in Dulwich cost?

The cost of an office removal in Dulwich depends on the size of your office, the volume of items, access at both sites and how much packing help you require. Smaller office moves may be priced on a fixed fee, while larger relocations are usually based on the number of movers, vehicles and hours needed. After a survey, we provide a clear written quote covering labour, vehicles and agreed services, with no hidden extras. Contact us with basic details and we can give you an initial guideline estimate before arranging a full survey.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We can often help with same-day or urgent office removals in Dulwich, depending on our existing bookings and the scale of the move. Smaller offices or partial moves are easier to schedule at short notice, while large multi-floor relocations normally require more planning. If you have an urgent situation, call us as soon as possible with full details. We’ll be honest about what can be achieved safely, discuss options such as evening work, and prioritise protecting your equipment while getting you operational again quickly.

Are my office items insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we hold public liability insurance for work on your premises. This provides protection against accidental damage in transit or during handling, within the limits of the policy. We’ll outline these limits and any exclusions before you confirm your booking. For particularly high-value or specialist items, we may recommend additional cover or specific handling arrangements. Our aim is to give you confidence that your office contents are being moved under proper, professional protection.

What’s included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes a survey, planning support, loading, transport and unloading at your new premises. Depending on what you choose, it can also include packing, supply of materials, dismantling and reassembly of desks and standard furniture, and placement of items in the correct work areas. We’ll agree a clear scope beforehand so you know exactly what’s covered. Additional services, such as disposal of unwanted furniture or out-of-hours work, can be added by arrangement and will be clearly itemised in your quote.

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

A professional office removal is planned and managed to minimise downtime and risk. We carry appropriate insurance, use trained staff and have experience with IT equipment, filing systems and multi-occupancy buildings. A basic man-and-van may be fine for a few personal items but often lacks the structure, protection and accountability needed for a business move. With Man with Van Dulwich, you get proper surveying, written quotes, clear timings and a team used to working in office environments, including out-of-hours and within building management requirements.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

For most office removals in Dulwich, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend move. Larger or more complex relocations may need additional lead time to allow for surveys, packing schedules and coordination with your IT and facilities teams. That said, we understand that moves are not always planned far ahead, and we regularly help clients on shorter timescales. The earlier you contact us, the more options we’ll have to structure the move around your ideal dates.
