Local Office Removals Expertise in Putney

Operating across Putney for years, we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building access constraints extremely well. This matters when you are planning an office move in busy locations such as Putney High Street, Upper Richmond Road or riverside offices.

We work closely with building managers to arrange lift access, loading bay times and any required permits. Our local knowledge helps avoid delays, reduces time spent on-site and keeps your move on schedule.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details of your move: current and new addresses, size of office, key dates and any time restrictions. We discuss what you need, including packing, dismantling and reassembly. Based on this, we provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office removals, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, lift availability, staircases, and the volume of furniture and equipment. We also confirm any special requirements such as server relocation or weekend working. The survey helps us allocate the right size team, vehicles and packing materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with all necessary materials. Depending on the service level you choose, we can:

• Provide a full packing service for all desks, files and equipment
• Supply crates and boxes for your staff to self-pack in advance
• Label items by department or room to ensure smooth set-up at the new office

We carefully wrap and protect IT equipment, furniture and fragile items, and dismantle desks and shelving where required.

4. Loading & Transport

We load your items methodically, using floor and wall protection where needed to safeguard both your premises and belongings. All goods are transported in our clean, well-maintained vehicles under goods in transit insurance. Our experienced drivers plan routes to avoid unnecessary delays and keep your move running to time.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload and place items according to your floor plan or team instructions. We reassemble dismantled furniture and position desks, chairs and storage units so your staff can get back to work quickly. We take away used packing materials for reuse or recycling where possible.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our office removals charges are based on:

• Volume of furniture and equipment
• Access and distance between properties
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Level of packing and dismantling needed
• Timing (standard hours or out-of-hours/weekends)

We provide a written quotation so you know exactly what is included. Any potential additional costs, such as extra packing or storage, are explained in advance so you can budget accurately.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Trying to manage an office move with borrowed vans or untrained helpers usually leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress. A planned move with a professional team offers:

• Experienced trained movers who know how to handle IT and furniture safely
• Proper equipment: sack trucks, skates, webbing, ramps and protective materials
• Fully insured transport for your business assets
• Reduced downtime and disruption to staff
• Clear responsibility and a single point of contact

Our role is to remove the headache of moving so you can focus on looking after your staff and clients.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals company, Putney Man and Van operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your office furniture and equipment while being moved
• Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises
• Trained moving teams experienced in commercial relocations

We follow safe lifting practices, risk assessments where appropriate, and careful planning for access and parking. We treat every move with the same level of care, whether you are a small start-up or an established company.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to protect both your property and the buildings we work in. This includes:

• Using floor, door and banister protection where required
• Wrapping and securing IT equipment and fragile items
• Safe stacking and loading to prevent movement in transit

Sustainability is important to us. We reuse crates, blankets and other materials wherever possible, and recycle cardboard and packaging after your move. When clearing unwanted furniture, we aim to prioritise reuse and responsible disposal in line with local regulations.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving Office Within Putney

Many of our clients move between offices in the Putney area as their teams grow. We often carry out Friday evening or weekend moves so staff can leave one office at close of play and return to a fully set-up workspace on Monday.

Office to Home or Hybrid Working Set-Ups

We regularly help businesses downsize or switch to hybrid working. This may involve distributing desks and equipment to multiple staff homes, moving core items to a smaller office and placing surplus furniture into storage.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes leases end unexpectedly or building issues force a rapid move. Where diary space allows, we provide same-day or short-notice support to get essential equipment, files and staff set up in temporary or new premises as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Putney cost?

The cost of an office move depends on several factors: the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both sites, distance between locations, and how much packing, dismantling and reassembly you require. Smaller office moves within Putney are usually charged on a set hourly rate or a fixed day rate, while larger relocations are priced following a detailed survey. We provide a written quotation with all labour, vehicles and standard materials included, so you have a clear figure to work with when planning your relocation budget.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or short-notice office removals in and around Putney. Availability will depend on existing bookings, team size needed and the complexity of your move. If you have an urgent requirement, contact us as early as possible with key details so we can assess what is feasible. In many cases we can at least move essential items and core IT equipment quickly, then return for less critical items once your immediate operations are secure.

Are my office items insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out on-site. During the survey and quotation stage we can explain the cover in more detail, highlight any exclusions and suggest additional protection if your business has very high-value or unusual items. Our aim is to give you confidence that your equipment and furniture are properly protected from collection to delivery.

What is included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes a professional moving team, vehicles, protective blankets, basic dismantling and reassembly of standard office furniture, and loading, transport and unloading at your new office. We can add packing services, supply crates and boxes, label and zone areas by department, and carry out out-of-hours or weekend moves if required. We discuss everything in advance, so your quotation clearly sets out what is included. If you need storage or clearance as part of the move, we can arrange that too and incorporate it into your overall plan.

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

A casual man-and-van service usually provides transport and lifting help only, with limited planning or protection. A professional office removals service offers structured planning, trained teams, fully insured transport, proper packing materials and equipment, and coordination with building management. We manage access, parking, lift usage and floor plans, and we understand how to handle IT, confidential files and business-critical items. This reduces the risk of damage, downtime and disruption, which is especially important when staff and customers are relying on you to stay operational.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

Ideally, you should contact us 4–6 weeks before your planned move date, particularly for larger offices or if you require weekend or out-of-hours work. This gives time for surveys, planning, crate delivery and staff communication. However, we understand that business timescales are not always ideal, and we often accommodate moves on shorter notice where our diary allows. The earlier you get in touch, the more flexibility we will have to align the move with your preferred dates and minimise any impact on your day-to-day operations.
