Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Although this page focuses on offices and commercial moves, our structured approach is helpful for a wide range of clients in Merton:

• Homeowners – moving home and running a business or home office, needing work equipment moved securely.
• Renters – relocating from rented offices, co-working spaces or serviced offices within tight timeframes.
• Landlords – clearing or refitting office premises between tenancies, including removal of old furniture.
• Businesses – from single-room offices to multi-floor commercial relocations across Merton and London.
• Students – moving study equipment and small home-office set-ups between accommodation or into storage.

Items Typically Included

• Office desks, chairs, tables and boardroom furniture
• Filing cabinets, cupboards and storage units
• Desktop computers, monitors, printers and standard office electronics
• Servers and network equipment (packed and handled to your IT team’s instructions)
• Documents, files, archives and boxed stationery
• Kitchen items such as kettles, microwaves and small fridges

Items Normally Excluded

• Large industrial machinery not suitable for standard removal vehicles

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

We start with a detailed conversation about your move: locations, floor layouts, access, key dates, and any business-critical equipment or departments. We then provide a clear, written quotation outlining what is included, any options, and your proposed schedule.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

Depending on the size and complexity of your office, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess parking, stairwells, lifts, and loading areas, as well as volume of furniture and IT. We also discuss labelling systems, floor plans and any out-of-hours requirements.

3. Packing & Preparation

We can supply packing materials in advance, or our trained team can handle the packing for you. Furniture is dismantled where necessary, IT is securely wrapped, and documents are boxed and labelled. We use padded covers, floor protectors and appropriate trolleys to keep both your old and new premises protected.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional crew follows the agreed plan. Items are loaded systematically, usually by department or area, to make unloading straightforward. Everything is transported in purpose-built removal vehicles, secured and protected for the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload to your floor plan so that desks, chairs and IT arrive exactly where they are needed. Larger furniture is reassembled, and we position items so your team can get back to work quickly. We can also remove used packaging to leave the space tidy.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We price office removals fairly and transparently, based on:

• Volume of items and size of your office
• Access at both properties (floors, lifts, parking distance)
• Travel distance between locations
• Level of packing and dismantling required
• Day and time (weekday, weekend, out-of-hours)

Your quotation will clearly show what is included so you can budget accurately. If you need to add or remove services, we explain the cost implications in advance, not on the day of the move.

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

Moving an office is very different from shifting a few boxes. DIY moves or casual man-and-van services often underestimate the time, labour and planning required, which can lead to costly downtime, damage or lost items.

• We use trained office movers who understand how to handle IT and furniture safely.
• We are fully insured, with suitable cover for commercial moves.
• We plan around your working hours to reduce disruption.
• We provide the right equipment, vehicles and packing materials.
• We follow agreed floor plans so your team can restart work quickly.

For most businesses, the cost of lost productivity far outweighs any saving from a DIY or unstructured move.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Merton Movers works to clear, professional standards to protect your business throughout the move.

• Goods in transit insurance for your office furniture and equipment while it is being moved.
• Public liability cover to protect you, your premises and third parties.
• Trained moving teams with experience in commercial and office relocations.
• Risk assessments and method statements available for larger or more complex moves.

We explain our cover levels and any conditions clearly, so you can make informed decisions and, if needed, arrange additional cover for higher-value items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care of your belongings, your premises and the environment.

• Use of padded covers, IT crates and floor protection to reduce the risk of damage.
• Careful handling techniques for heavy or bulky office furniture.
• Re-usable crates and materials where possible to cut down on waste.
• Recycling or responsible disposal of unwanted office furniture by arrangement.

Our aim is to complete your move with minimal disruption and minimal environmental impact, while keeping your team and our crews safe.

Real-World Use Cases

• Office relocations within Merton – for example, moving a growing business from a shared office in Wimbledon to a dedicated space in Morden.
• Moving house with a home office – ensuring workstations, files and equipment are prioritised so you can stay operational.
• Urgent or time-critical moves – short-notice relocations due to lease changes, building works or unexpected issues with premises.
• Downsizing or restructuring – consolidating multiple offices into one, including moving selected items into storage.

Whatever your situation, we adapt our approach to suit your priorities, timescales and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office removal in Merton cost?

The cost depends on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at each property and the distance between locations. As a guide, a small office move within Merton may be charged on a fixed-price basis, while larger or multi-floor relocations are usually quoted individually after a survey. We provide a clear written quotation that sets out exactly what is included, so you can compare like-for-like. There are no hidden extras; any optional services are explained upfront.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We can often accommodate urgent or short-notice office moves, especially within Merton, but availability will depend on existing bookings and the scale of the job. For very short notice moves, flexibility on timing and scope helps us find a workable solution. If you need to move quickly due to a lease issue, building works or an unexpected problem, contact us as soon as possible. We will be honest about what can be achieved safely and realistically within your timescale.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

For commercial moves, we provide goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work at your premises. During the quotation process we explain our standard cover limits and any exclusions, so you can check they are appropriate for your business. For very high-value or specialist equipment, you may choose to arrange additional cover, or we can discuss options to increase limits by prior agreement.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, IT and boxed contents between the agreed addresses. We supply protective equipment and blankets as standard. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of crates and packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours or weekend working. During the survey we agree exactly what you want us to handle and what your team will manage, then reflect this clearly in your written quotation.

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

A man-and-van service is generally fine for small, simple moves, but most offices benefit from a structured, professional approach. We provide a planned move with surveys, clear timings, the right number of staff and vehicles, and appropriate insurance for commercial items. Our crews are trained in handling IT and office furniture, and we work to floor plans to get teams up and running quickly. This reduces downtime, risk of damage and the stress that often comes with unplanned or under-resourced moves.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For best availability, we recommend booking your office move 3–6 weeks in advance, particularly if you require weekend or evening work. Larger or multi-phase relocations may need longer planning. However, we understand that lease dates and completion dates are not always flexible, so we do our best to help even with shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates, crew size and additional services such as packing or crate hire.
