Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your office details, current and new addresses, and preferred dates. We discuss your priorities: downtime, budget, weekend or evening moves, and any building restrictions. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining what is included, the proposed schedule and any optional extras such as packing or storage.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most office removals in Westminster we carry out a detailed survey, either onsite or via video. We assess access, lift sizes, parking arrangements, staircases and any special handling needs. We also review your furniture, IT and filing requirements. This allows us to plan vehicle sizes, team numbers and equipment, and to identify any potential challenges well in advance.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can offer a full packing service or work alongside your team if you prefer to pack yourselves. Our crews use high-quality crates, cartons and protective materials appropriate for office equipment. Desks and furniture are dismantled where required, and IT equipment is carefully labelled and packed. We work to an agreed plan so that departments and teams are set up in the correct order at the new site.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained crew arrive at the agreed time, often outside normal office hours to minimise disruption. Floors, lifts and communal areas are protected with covers where necessary. Items are loaded methodically onto our vehicles, secured for transport and checked off against our inventory. Our fleet is maintained to a high standard and covered by comprehensive goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new premises we unload according to the agreed floor plan, placing desks, chairs and equipment directly into position. We reassemble furniture that was dismantled, and work with your IT or facilities teams to ensure key areas are operational as quickly as possible. Once unloading is complete, we remove used packing materials and, if arranged, return crates at a later date.
Transparent Office Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Office removal costs are based on:
- Volume and complexity of items to be moved
- Access at both addresses (lifts, stairs, parking)
- Distance between locations
- Level of service (e.g. full packing, furniture dismantling, evening or weekend moves)
- Any specialist handling requirements
Your written quote will set out exactly what is included so you can budget accurately. If your brief changes, we discuss cost implications in advance rather than surprising you on the day.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY
Relocating an office involves far more than lifting a few boxes. Attempting a DIY move or using a casual man-and-van can risk damage, delays and legal issues. Professional office removals with Westminster Movers provide:
- Trained staff who understand manual handling, IT protection and building regulations
- Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Structured planning that keeps your business operational
- Correct equipment – trolleys, ramps, covers and specialist packaging
- Reliable vehicles and punctual crews who turn up as agreed
In practice, the cost difference between professional and ad-hoc options is often outweighed by reduced downtime and fewer damaged items.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Westminster Movers operates to high professional standards for your reassurance.
- Goods in transit insurance – your office contents are covered while being moved, subject to policy terms and declared values.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to buildings or third-party property during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our crews are regularly trained in safe lifting, packing techniques, and handling of office and IT equipment.
Details of cover limits and conditions are available on request; we are always happy to clarify how our insurance applies to your particular move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your office as if it were our own. That means careful planning, proper protection and a responsible approach to materials and waste.
- Use of padded covers for furniture and IT equipment
- Floor and wall protection in high-traffic areas where appropriate
- Secure crates for documents and sensitive items
- Re-use of durable crates and cartons wherever practical
- Recycling of cardboard and packing materials after your move
We aim to reduce waste and unnecessary journeys while still providing a reliable, flexible service across Westminster and central London.

Moving to a New Office in Westminster
For growing businesses upgrading to larger premises, we provide a full relocation service including packing, labelled crate systems and out-of-hours moves. The goal is simple: your staff leave one office and arrive at the new one ready to work.
Internal Reconfigurations and Floor Moves
If your team is re-stacking floors or reconfiguring departments, we handle the heavy lifting. Desks, partitions and storage are moved to your new layout with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.
Urgent or Time-Sensitive Moves
Sometimes lease ends, building issues or business changes mean you need to move quickly. Where possible, we offer short-notice and urgent office removals, putting together crews and vehicles at speed while still maintaining safety and care.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Westminster cost?
The cost of an office removal in Westminster depends on the size of your office, access at each building, the distance between locations and the level of service you require. Smaller office moves can often be completed within a day, while larger or multi-floor relocations may take longer and require additional crews. After a survey, we provide a clear fixed-price or structured quote so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras; any optional services are itemised in advance.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
We can often assist with same-day or urgent office removals, particularly within Westminster and central London. Availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle capacity and crew scheduling, so it is best to call us as soon as you know you need to move. Even on short notice we still carry out a brief assessment, agree a scope of work and confirm costs in writing. While urgent moves may be more limited in flexibility, we always prioritise safety, protection of your items and clear communication.
What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?
All our office removals include goods in transit insurance, covering your items while they are being moved, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third-party property. Cover is subject to policy terms, conditions and value limits, which we are happy to explain in detail. For high-value IT or specialist equipment, we recommend you let us know in advance so it can be specifically noted. Our crews work carefully to minimise risk, but proper insurance ensures you are protected in the unlikely event that something goes wrong.
What is included in your office removals service?
Our standard office removals service includes the supply of vehicles and trained staff, loading and unloading of all agreed items, basic protection for furniture, and transport between your old and new premises. We can also provide optional extras such as full packing, crates for documents and IT, furniture dismantling and reassembly, weekend or evening moves, and short-term storage. During your survey we confirm what you need and make sure it is written into your quote, so there is no confusion on moving day about what is and is not included.
How is a professional office removal different from a man-and-van?
A professional office removal service offers structured planning, trained crews, appropriate insurance and the right equipment for office environments. Man-and-van services are typically aimed at small domestic moves and may not have experience with IT equipment, building rules or complex access. With Westminster Movers you receive a dedicated coordinator, risk assessments where necessary, and teams used to working with facilities and IT staff. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and operational disruption, which is critical when your business needs to remain productive.
How far in advance should I book my office move?
For most office removals in Westminster we recommend booking at least three to six weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or an evening/weekend move. Larger or more complex relocations benefit from even more notice so that planning, crate delivery and IT coordination can be arranged smoothly. That said, we regularly help businesses on tighter timescales and will always do our best to accommodate you. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates, crew size and level of support.
