Local Expertise in Earls Court
Working in Earls Court every day, we understand the local streets, parking restrictions and building access requirements extremely well. Many offices here are in period properties, mansion blocks or modern developments with tight entrances and shared lifts. We plan around:
- Loading restrictions and controlled parking zones
- Lift bookings and building management rules
- Narrow stairwells and restricted access points
- Peak traffic times and optimal routes out of Earls Court
This local knowledge helps us deliver efficient, low-disruption moves that keep to your timetable and reduce downtime.
What We Move – and What We Don’t
Items Typically Included
We routinely move:
- Desks, chairs, filing cabinets and storage units
- Boardroom and meeting room furniture
- Desktop computers, monitors, laptops and peripherals
- Printers, copiers and standard office machinery
- Servers and networking equipment (when safely disconnected)
- Document archives, files and boxed records
- Kitchen equipment such as kettles, microwaves and fridges (domestic size)
- Reception furniture, display stands and small stock items
Items We Normally Exclude or Need to Assess
For safety and insurance reasons, the following are usually excluded or require prior discussion:
- Hazardous materials (chemicals, gases, flammables)
- Large industrial machinery or fixed plant
- Heavy safes over a certain weight or bolted to floors/walls
- Cash, jewellery and high-value personal items
- Biological or medical waste
- Items that are not adequately disconnected (e.g. live IT or power)
If you have any specialist equipment, we will assess it during the survey and confirm what is possible and what may need a specialist contractor.
Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the basic details of your move: locations, approximate size of your office, key dates and any access information. We then provide an initial estimate or arrange a more detailed assessment if needed. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras – everything is clearly set out before you make a decision.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most office moves, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to understand the volume of items, access points, parking options and any restrictions from building management. We also discuss your preferred timetable, weekend or out-of-hours options and any specialist equipment. The survey forms the basis of a firm, written quotation and a tailored move plan.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on your needs, we can provide:
- Full packing of documents, equipment and office contents using crates or boxes
- Part packing for fragile or high-value items only
- Crate hire with labels so staff can pack their own workstations
We label everything clearly by department, floor and destination room to ensure a smooth set-up at the new office. Furniture needing dismantling is taken apart carefully and fixings are kept safe for reassembly.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained team arrives on time with the correct number of vehicles, protection materials and equipment. We protect lifts, corridors and doorways as needed to keep building management on side. Items are inventoried where required, loaded securely using blankets, straps and trolleys, and transported in our purpose-equipped vehicles under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new office, we unload and place items according to the agreed floor plan. Desks, storage and meeting room furniture are reassembled and positioned, and crates are placed at the correct workstations and departments. We aim to leave your team able to sit down, plug in and resume work with minimal delay. Used materials and empty crates are collected at an agreed time.
Transparent Pricing for Office Removals
Office removal costs vary depending on the size of your move, distance, access, and the level of packing required. After your survey, we provide a clear, itemised quotation that may include:
- Labour (number of movers and estimated hours or days)
- Vehicles required
- Packing services and materials or crate hire
- Out-of-hours or weekend working if requested
- Additional services such as storage or clearance
We do not believe in vague pricing or unexpected add-ons. Any potential extra costs, such as changes in scope or access issues, are discussed in advance wherever possible.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Moving an office involves far more than lifting a few desks. Using a casual man-and-van or relying on staff to move themselves can lead to damage, delays and health and safety issues. With Earls Court Movers you get:
- A professional, fully insured service with formal procedures
- Trained teams who know how to handle IT equipment and office furniture
- Proper risk assessments and protection for your premises
- Scheduling that works around your trading hours
- Clear accountability if something goes wrong
For most businesses, the cost of downtime or damaged equipment is far greater than investing in a well-planned professional move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We work to recognised industry standards and take your business assets seriously. Our cover typically includes:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your office contents while they are being moved
- Public liability cover – safeguarding you and your building against accidental damage or injury caused by our work
- Trained moving teams – staff are properly briefed, experienced and supervised
Details of cover levels are provided with your quotation, and we are happy to liaise with your own insurers or facilities team where needed.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your belongings and the buildings we work in. We use floor, door and lift protection where appropriate, and wrap or blanket furniture and IT equipment. Our team handles items methodically rather than rushing, aiming to avoid both visible damage and the small knocks that can cause issues later.
Sustainability is increasingly important for our clients. We use reusable crates where possible, recycle materials responsibly and plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. When clearing old offices, we can arrange responsible disposal or recycling for unwanted furniture and equipment, subject to prior agreement.
Real-World Office Removal Scenarios
Moving to a Larger Office in Earls Court
Growing businesses often outgrow their first premises. We regularly help companies move from smaller serviced offices into larger self-contained spaces, planning phased moves so teams can keep working while departments are transferred in stages.
Relocating Out of Earls Court
For businesses moving from Earls Court to other parts of London or beyond, we coordinate timings with your new building management and IT providers, ensuring that equipment, files and furniture arrive when needed and in the right order.
Urgent and Short-Notice Office Moves
Sometimes a move has to happen quickly – a lease ends sooner than expected, or you need to vacate while refurbishment takes place. When our schedule allows, we can organise urgent office removals at short notice, prioritising essential equipment so your team can resume operations quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Earls Court cost?
The cost of an office move in Earls Court depends on factors such as the size of your office, the volume and type of items, access at both locations, distance travelled and whether you need packing or crate hire. After a survey, we provide a clear, written quotation with labour, vehicles and any additional services itemised. Smaller local offices may be completed in a day, while larger moves might be phased over several days or weekends. We are always happy to discuss options to match your budget and timetable.
Can you do same-day or urgent office removals?
Where our schedule and resources allow, we can support same-day or urgent office removals, particularly within Earls Court and nearby areas. Urgent moves work best when we can quickly assess access, parking and volume, even via a virtual survey. While we cannot guarantee last-minute availability on every date, we will always be honest about what is realistic and whether a phased or out-of-hours approach might work better. Contact us as soon as you know you may need to move, and we will outline your quickest practical options.
What insurance cover do you provide?
We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your office contents while they are being moved, as well as public liability cover for work carried out in and around your premises. This means you have structured protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss. Policy details and cover limits are available with your quotation, and we can confirm these with your facilities or insurance team if required. We also mitigate risk by using trained staff, proper packing materials and careful loading methods at every stage.
What is included in your office removals service?
Our standard office removals service includes the loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, IT equipment, files and other agreed contents between the specified addresses. We can also include dismantling and reassembling standard office furniture, supply of crates or boxes, packing services, and basic protection for lifts and common areas. Optional extras may cover storage, clearance of unwanted items and out-of-hours working. All inclusions and any optional services are listed clearly in your quotation so you know exactly what to expect on move day.
How is a professional office removal different from a man-and-van service?
A professional office removal is structured around minimising downtime, managing risk and protecting your assets. We plan your move in detail, carry out surveys, coordinate with building management and provide fully insured, trained teams. A casual man-and-van typically offers basic transport only, with limited insurance, no detailed planning and little experience of complex office environments. For businesses, the extra professionalism and accountability of a dedicated office removal service usually far outweighs any short-term savings from a less formal option.
How far in advance should I book my office move?
For most office moves, we recommend booking at least 3–6 weeks in advance, especially if you need a weekend or a specific date aligned with your lease. This gives time for surveys, planning, crate delivery and communication with your staff and building managers. Larger or multi-phase projects may require a longer lead-in. That said, we often accommodate shorter timescales when our diary allows. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have on dates and the smoother the planning process will be.
