What Our Office Removals Service Includes

Items Typically Included

Our Colney Hatch office removals service covers most business and office contents, including:

• Desks, chairs, meeting tables and reception furniture
• Filing cabinets, cupboards, bookcases and shelving
• Desktop computers, monitors, printers and standard IT equipment
• Telephones, small servers, network hardware (subject to preparation)
• Confidential files, archives and boxed paperwork
• Kitchen items such as kettles, microwaves, small fridges
• Whiteboards, noticeboards, artwork and display materials
• Packed personal items belonging to staff

Items We Normally Exclude or Need to Discuss

Some items need prior agreement or may fall outside a standard office removal:

• Very heavy machinery, safes or data cabinets above normal manual handling limits
• Hazardous materials (chemicals, gas bottles, flammable substances)
• Large industrial photocopiers or specialist production equipment
• High-value artworks, collections or items needing specialist insurance
• Server racks requiring de-racking, cabling or third-party IT work

We can often move these safely, but we must discuss them in advance so we can allocate the right vehicles, equipment and insurance cover.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your basic details: addresses, approximate size of your office, preferred moving dates and any time restrictions. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on the information you share. This will outline what is included, any optional extras (such as packing) and likely timings so you can plan around staff and IT schedules.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office removals in Colney Hatch, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We assess access, stairwells and lifts, loading options, parking and any fragile or bulky items. The survey allows us to confirm vehicle sizes, team numbers and equipment needed, and to produce an accurate, fixed-price quote for the agreed scope of work.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from two main options:

• Self-packing – We provide or advise on suitable boxes, crates and labels so your staff pack their own desks and documents.
• Full packing service – Our trained team packs everything for you, from files and stationery to monitors and kitchen items, using quality materials.

We can also dismantle standard office furniture where required and label all items clearly for efficient placement at your new premises.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day we arrive at the agreed time, protect floors, walls and doors where necessary, and start loading systematically. IT equipment and fragile items are wrapped and secured. We plan vehicle loading so that priority items are accessible first at the new office. Your goods are transported in well-maintained vehicles, covered by our goods in transit insurance, and driven by experienced, commercial drivers.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office we unload items into the correct rooms or departments, following your floor plan or instructions. Desks and furniture are reassembled where agreed, and we position items so your IT team can reconnect equipment efficiently. Before leaving, we do a final walk-through with you to confirm everything is in place and remove any packaging we have supplied, where this has been included.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals in Colney Hatch

We believe in clear and predictable pricing. Our office removals are usually priced on a fixed-job basis rather than hourly, giving you cost certainty for budgeting. The price is influenced by:

• Size and layout of your current and new office
• Volume and type of furniture and equipment
• Distance between locations
• Access issues (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
• Level of packing and dismantling required
• Out-of-hours or weekend working, if requested

All costs are clearly itemised in your quotation so you know exactly what is included before you book.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Attempting a DIY office move or hiring a casual van can seem cheaper but often leads to downtime, damage and delays. Our dedicated office removals service in Colney Hatch offers:

• Trained teams who understand how to handle IT, furniture and confidential files
• Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Suitable vehicles, trolleys, blankets and protective materials
• Efficient loading and unloading to shorten the time your staff are offline
• Clear planning so everyone knows what will happen and when

Using a professional office removals company reduces business interruption, protects your assets and helps you meet lease deadlines without last-minute problems.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible operator, Man with Van Colney Hatch maintains appropriate insurance and working standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your office contents while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury.
• Trained moving teams – Staff are experienced in manual handling, safe lifting techniques and office-specific challenges.

We also work in line with recognised industry best practices, including risk assessments where needed and safe working methods for stairs, tight corners and heavy loads.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office equipment and furniture as if it were our own. Our teams use padded blankets, straps, corner protectors and floor coverings to prevent damage in both your old and new premises. Monitors, glass and fragile items are wrapped individually.

Where possible, we use reusable crates and durable packing materials to reduce waste. Cardboard and plastics from our own supplies are recycled whenever facilities allow. If you are clearing an office, we can help separate reusable furniture and equipment for resale, donation or responsible disposal, supporting your company’s sustainability goals.

• Urgent or short-notice moves – Last-minute relocations due to lease changes or building works, where we mobilise quickly and work flexible hours to meet deadlines.

Whatever your situation, we tailor our service so that your staff, clients and operations experience as little disruption as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Colney Hatch cost?

The cost of an office removal in Colney Hatch depends on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both sites and the distance between them. Smaller local moves may be a few hundred pounds, while multi-floor or multi-vehicle moves will cost more. After a short discussion and, where needed, a survey, we provide a fixed quotation so you know the full cost in advance. There are no hidden extras, and any optional services such as packing or weekend moves are clearly itemised.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we do accept same-day or urgent office removals in Colney Hatch. Availability depends on the size of the move, crew numbers required and vehicle capacity on the day. For smaller offices or partial relocations, we can often respond at short notice. For larger or multi-phase projects, we will advise honestly on what can be achieved safely within your timescale. Contact us as soon as you know your dates and we will do our best to accommodate your move.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved, and we also carry public liability cover for work at your premises. This provides reassurance that, in the unlikely event of an incident, appropriate cover is in place. We can explain the key terms and limits on request, and for particularly high-value items we may suggest additional arrangements or documentation. Our focus is always on preventing damage in the first place through careful handling, correct packing and sensible loading.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, IT equipment, files and boxed contents between the agreed addresses. We protect items with blankets and straps, and position them in the rooms or areas you specify. Optional extras include packing services, supply of crates or boxes, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours moves. Everything that is included in your particular move will be listed in your quotation, so you can clearly see what we will and will not be doing on the day.

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

A casual man-and-van service is usually geared towards simple, small domestic jobs. Professional office removals, like those we provide in Colney Hatch, are planned around business continuity. We carry appropriate insurance, use trained teams, and understand building rules, loading bays and IT considerations. We also provide written quotes, clear timings and the capacity to handle multiple workstations, meeting rooms and archives in an organised way. The result is less disruption, reduced risk of damage and a smoother experience for your staff.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For most office moves, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend slot. Larger or multi-phase projects may require longer planning. However, we understand that leases and building works can change at short notice, so we always keep some flexibility where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer for dates, crew sizes and any additional services you may need, such as packing or phased moves.
