Local Expertise in Kennington

Being based in Kennington means we know the area, the traffic patterns and the building types extremely well. Whether your office is in a modern serviced building or an older property with difficult access, we plan the move around:

• Loading restrictions and parking controls
• Lift access, stairwells and narrow corridors
• Building management rules and time limits
• Best routes for larger vehicles at different times of day

This local knowledge helps us avoid delays and keeps your move on schedule.

Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Homeowners Working From Home

If you run your business from home and need to relocate to a new house or a dedicated office, we can move your office furniture, computers and files safely alongside your home contents, or as a standalone office move.

Renters

For businesses renting shared or serviced offices, we manage moves within the building or to a new location. We handle dismantling and reassembling desks and storage so you can hand back your space in good condition.

Landlords

Landlords and managing agents often need commercial spaces cleared between tenants. We offer office clearance and removal of unwanted furniture and equipment, ready for re-letting or refurbishment.

Businesses

From one-room offices to multi-floor moves, we support companies across sectors: professional services, charities, creatives, retail back-offices and more. We’re experienced in coordinated moves where different departments relocate at different times.

Students and Small Setups

Students or freelancers moving small studios or co-working spaces can benefit from a scaled-down but still professional office removals approach, especially where delicate IT equipment or specialist kit is involved.

What We Can Move in an Office Removal

We are equipped to handle most office-related items, including:

• Desks, workstations and sit-stand desks (dismantling and reassembly available)
• Office chairs and meeting room furniture
• Filing cabinets, cupboards and shelving units
• Desktop computers, monitors, laptops and peripherals
• Servers, network equipment and telecoms hardware (with your IT team’s guidance)
• Printers, copiers and other office machinery
• Archives, files and boxed documents
• Kitchen appliances such as kettles, microwaves and small fridges
• Reception furniture and display units

What Is Excluded or Needs Special Arrangement

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

• Hazardous materials (chemicals, fuel, gas cylinders)
• Large industrial machinery or plant equipment
• Heavy safes exceeding standard weight limits
• Highly valuable artwork or specialist equipment without prior declaration
• Confidential waste disposal or shredding services

If you have any unusual or heavy items, please mention them during your enquiry so we can assess access, weight, insurance and any extra equipment required.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: current and new addresses, approximate size of your office, access arrangements and preferred move date. We’ll ask key questions about your IT setup, furniture and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and outline the likely schedule.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small office, we recommend a survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite for larger or more complex moves. We assess volume, access, parking, lift availability and any special items. This allows us to allocate the right trained team, vehicles and materials and to confirm pricing.

3. Packing & Preparation

We can provide full packing, partial packing or a supply of crates and boxes for your team to pack. Our packers use quality packing materials and clearly label crates by department, team or room. IT equipment can be individually wrapped and labelled so your staff can sit straight back down at their new desks.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our professional crew arrives at the agreed time. Furniture is protected with covers and blankets, and delicate or electronic items are secured for transport. We work systematically, often floor by floor or department by department, to match your move plan. Vehicles are loaded safely and driven by experienced drivers.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload in a controlled order so that key departments or areas can be set up first. Desks and furniture are placed according to your floor plan, and we reassemble items we dismantled. We remove our packing materials and can return crate deliveries after you have finished unpacking.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will normally be based on:

• Size of the move (volume of furniture and equipment)
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Distance between properties
• Access difficulties (stairs-only, long carries, restricted parking)
• Packing services and materials required
• Out-of-hours or weekend working, if requested

We’ll explain exactly what is included so you can compare like-for-like with other companies. Any potential extra costs, such as congestion or parking charges, are discussed in advance wherever possible.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Trying to manage an office move yourself or with a casual van hire can quickly become stressful and risky. Professional office removals offer clear benefits:

• Trained teams used to dismantling and reassembling office furniture correctly
• Proper handling of IT and electronic equipment to reduce damage and data risk
• Efficient planning that reduces downtime and keeps staff productive
• Appropriate vehicles and equipment for safe, secure transport
• Fully insured moves with clear accountability if something goes wrong

A cheaper, informal option may appear to save money but often costs more in lost time, broken equipment and disruption.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your business assets are important, and we treat them that way. Man and Van Kennington operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect items while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for your premises and building common areas
• Trained and experienced moving teams, briefed for each job

We work to professional standards, from careful loading techniques to respectful behaviour on site. We are used to operating in shared buildings, following site rules and coordinating with building management and security as needed.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Working

We use a variety of protective materials to keep your premises and contents safe:

• Floor and door protection where required
• Furniture blankets, covers and shrink-wrap
• Anti-static wrapping for sensitive electronics where appropriate

We also aim to work in a more sustainable way. Reusable moving crates, durable blankets and responsible waste handling help reduce unnecessary packaging and landfill. Where possible, we reuse materials and encourage clients to plan ahead to avoid last-minute, wasteful purchases.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving to a Larger Office

Growing businesses in Kennington often need more space. We can manage phased moves where teams transfer gradually, ensuring phones and IT remain operational throughout. We coordinate with your IT or telecoms provider for a smooth switchover.

Internal Office Reconfiguration

Sometimes you’re not moving address, just changing the layout. We can relocate desks, storage and equipment between floors or departments, often outside working hours, so staff arrive to a reconfigured office the next day.

Urgent or Time-Sensitive Moves

Lease issues, rapid growth or unexpected building problems can force a quick relocation. Subject to availability, we offer short-notice and same-day removals within reason, focusing on core items first so your business can keep operating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Kennington cost?

Costs depend on the size of your office, volume of furniture and equipment, distance between properties, access, and whether you need packing services. Smaller office moves within Kennington are often priced on a set rate with a clear time allowance, while larger relocations may be quoted as a fixed project price. After a survey, we provide a detailed quote showing what is included, any likely additional charges (such as parking or congestion) and options for reducing costs, for example by packing your own files or moving in phases.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Yes, we can often support urgent or short-notice moves, depending on existing bookings and the size of the job. Smaller offices or partial relocations are usually easier to accommodate on a same-day basis. For larger moves, we may suggest a staged approach, focusing first on essential staff, IT and key equipment so you can operate while the rest follows. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move, and we’ll give an honest assessment of what’s achievable within your timeframe.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved between locations, plus public liability cover for work carried out on your premises and any shared areas. This is designed to protect against accidental damage or incidents during the move. Some high-value or specialist equipment may require prior declaration so we can confirm appropriate cover. We always encourage clients to check their own business insurance too, so there are no gaps in protection, especially for data or business interruption.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes planning and scheduling, provision of a trained removals team, suitable vehicles, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new premises. We can also offer dismantling and reassembly of desks and standard office furniture. Optional extras include full or partial packing, crate hire, out-of-hours working and assistance with internal reconfiguration. Every quote clearly lists what is and isn’t included, so you can decide if you’d like to add services such as packing, additional porters, or separate clearance of unwanted items.

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

A basic man-and-van service usually offers labour and transport only, with limited planning, equipment and sometimes limited insurance. A professional office removal involves a structured plan, experienced teams, appropriate protection for your premises and assets, and clear responsibility for the job. We carry full insurance, work to agreed schedules, liaise with building management where necessary and can handle complex tasks like phased moves, IT-heavy environments and multi-floor relocations. This reduces your business risk and keeps disruption and downtime to a minimum.

How far in advance should we book our office move?

For small offices, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks ahead, especially if you need a specific date or weekend slot. Larger or more complex moves are best planned four to six weeks in advance to allow for surveys, coordination with your IT team and building management, and any crate deliveries. That said, we understand business circumstances can change quickly, so if you’re on a shorter timescale, contact us as soon as possible. We’ll advise on availability and create a realistic plan around your deadlines.
