Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Although this page focuses on offices, our structured removals approach supports a wide range of customers in and around Merton:

• Homeowners – moving home and needing a coordinated, careful move for all household contents.
• Renters – flat and house moves, including upper-floor properties with limited access.
• Landlords – clearing or refitting properties between tenancies and moving furniture between lets.
• Businesses – full office relocations, partial moves, internal moves and multi-site transfers.
• Students – compact moves between halls, shared houses and home addresses.

Whatever your situation, we offer a consistent standard: punctual arrivals, clear communication and professional handling of your belongings.

Items We Can and Cannot Move

Items Included

In addition to typical office furniture and equipment, we can usually move:

• Boxed files and documents
• Personal belongings from desks and lockers
• Freestanding photocopiers and standard office machinery
• Whiteboards, notice boards and presentation equipment
• Small safes (subject to weight and access)

Items Excluded

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we normally cannot move:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, chemicals, solvents, pressurised gases)
• Industrial machinery requiring specialist lifting or certification
• Server racks and complex IT infrastructure that require IT specialists
• Cash, jewellery or high-value personal items best carried by you
• Live animals or perishable food stocks

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your moving dates, addresses and a brief outline of the items and floors involved. We ask a few focused questions about access, parking, lifts and any time restrictions. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. For straightforward moves, we can often confirm costs from your list and photos alone.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex office removals, we recommend a short survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite, depending on your preference and scale. We check volumes, staircases, lifts, long carries and any dismantling needed. This stage ensures we allocate the right number of movers, the correct size vehicles and adequate packing materials so your move runs smoothly.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – we supply boxes, crates and packing materials, and pack your office contents for you.
• Part packing – we handle fragile and bulky items, while your team packs personal and non-essential items.
• Self-packing – you pack everything, and we focus on safe loading and transport.

We can also dismantle and reassemble standard desks, shelving and some modular furniture where required.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, conducts a brief walk-through and then begins loading systematically. Items are wrapped or blanket-protected, labelled and stacked securely in the vehicle. We use trolleys, skates and lifting straps where appropriate. Once everything is loaded, we travel via a sensible, pre-planned route to your new office, keeping you informed of timings as we go.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new site, we unload in an organised manner, placing furniture and boxes in the rooms and areas you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled and position items so your team can start working again as quickly as possible. Before we leave, we do a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed and you're satisfied with the layout.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes typically consider:

• Volume of items and number of workstations
• Number of floors, lift access and walking distances
• Travel distance between addresses and any multiple drop-offs
• Level of packing service required
• Any out-of-hours or weekend requirements

We usually quote on a fixed-price basis for office removals, so you know the total in advance. Any potential additional charges (for example, parking fees or unexpected extra items) are discussed clearly before the move, not afterwards.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Using a professional office removals company reduces risk, disruption and stress. DIY moves or casual man-and-van options often underestimate the time, labour and equipment required, leading to overruns and potential damage. Our team is experienced in navigating tight stairwells, awkward furniture and sensitive equipment, and we carry the correct protective gear and handling tools.

Most importantly, we are fully insured, punctual and accountable. Your staff can focus on their work rather than lifting and carrying, and your business can return to normal operations quickly.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man With a Van Merton operates to recognised professional standards. We provide:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being transported in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your premises in the unlikely event of an accident.
• Trained moving teams – staff who are briefed on safe lifting techniques, packing methods and professional conduct.

We are happy to provide evidence of our insurance cover and answer any questions you may have about how your items are protected.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office contents as if they were our own. Items are wrapped, padded and secured to minimise movement in transit. Fragile equipment is loaded carefully and separated from heavy items. Where possible, we use reusable crates and protective materials rather than single-use plastics, and we plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage.

We also encourage clients to reuse boxes and crates where suitable, and we can collect reusable materials afterwards by arrangement, helping to reduce waste associated with moving.

Real-World Office Removal Use Cases

Full Office Relocation

A growing business moving from a small shared office in Morden to a larger standalone space in Wimbledon may need a full relocation over a weekend. We would manage packing, dismantling desks, transporting IT equipment and setting up the new layout so staff can start work on Monday.

Partial Move or Internal Reorganisation

Some businesses only need part of their office moved – for example, moving one department to another floor or a satellite office. We handle internal moves efficiently, scheduling work outside peak hours where needed to reduce disruption.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Occasionally, leases change or circumstances force an unexpected move. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice removals, focusing on essential workstations and equipment first so your team can keep working while the rest is completed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Merton cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at each address and the distance between locations. Smaller office moves can sometimes be completed within a few hours, while larger multi-floor moves may require a full day or more and multiple vehicles. We normally provide a fixed-price quote once we understand your requirements, so you know exactly what to budget. There are no hidden extras, and any possible additional charges, such as parking, are discussed in advance.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or short-notice office moves. This is often possible for smaller offices or partial relocations, especially within Merton and nearby areas. For urgent moves, we focus on the most critical items first – such as desks, chairs and core IT equipment – so your staff can continue working while the rest is completed. It is always best to call us as soon as you know you need to move; the more notice we have, the more options we can offer.

What insurance cover do you provide?

We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work carried out at your premises. This means you are protected in the unlikely event of loss or damage caused directly by us during the move. We will explain the key terms and any limits in plain language before you book, and are happy to share documentation if required for your internal records or building management.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment and packed boxes between addresses. We protect items with blankets and straps, and place them in the rooms or areas you specify at the new premises. On request, we can also provide a packing service, dismantling and reassembling of standard desks and shelving, and the supply of crates, boxes and packing materials. We do not usually handle cabling, complex IT installations or hazardous materials, but can work alongside your IT or facilities teams.

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

A casual man-and-van service may be suitable for a few items, but office removals usually require more planning and protection. We provide a structured process, trained staff, proper insurance and the right equipment for handling heavy and fragile items. Our team is used to working around business hours, security requirements and building management rules, and we carefully plan access and vehicle sizes in advance. This reduces the risk of delays, damage or health and safety issues that can arise with ad hoc or uninsured operators.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

Ideally, office removals should be booked at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend slot. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, arrange parking, liaise with building management and plan any packing services. That said, we understand that moves are not always predictable, and we do our best to accommodate shorter notice when our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we will have to tailor the move to your preferred timings.
