Office Removals

Office Removals Catford – Catford Movers

At Catford Movers, we specialise in professional, well-planned office removals across Catford and the surrounding areas. Whether you are upgrading to a larger workspace, downsizing, or restructuring your business, we provide a structured, low-disruption move that keeps your team working and your assets protected.

Expert Office Removals in Catford

Office moves are very different from home removals. You need minimal downtime, secure handling of IT and confidential files, and a clear timetable that everyone can rely on. Our dedicated office removals team in Catford delivers exactly that. We combine local knowledge, specialist equipment and trained commercial movers to relocate your business safely and efficiently.

Who Our Office Removal Service Is For

Our Catford office removals service is designed for a wide range of clients:

• Homeowners running a business from home and moving into or out of a home office
• Renters relocating small studios, shared workspaces or co-working offices
• Landlords clearing or setting up furnished offices for new commercial tenants
• Businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to multi-floor corporate offices
• Students with studios, creative spaces or small offices linked to study projects

Whether you are moving a single room office or an entire floor of staff and equipment, we tailor our approach to the size and complexity of your move.

What’s Included in Our Office Removals

We handle most items typically found in offices and commercial workspaces, including:

• Desks, workstations, chairs and filing cabinets
• Desktop computers, monitors, laptops, printers and peripherals
• Servers, network equipment and telecoms (in coordination with your IT team)
• Boardroom tables, reception furniture and breakout area furniture
• Document archives, files and secure storage units
• Kitchen appliances such as kettles, microwaves and small fridges
• Artwork, whiteboards, noticeboards and display stands

What We Cannot Move

For safety, compliance and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require special arrangements:

• Hazardous materials (chemicals, gas bottles, flammable liquids)
• Industrial machinery not designed for standard office use
• Large safes or vaults without prior assessment
• Illegal or restricted items
• Cash, high-value jewellery or sensitive data not appropriately packed

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise during the survey so everything is clear before moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Tailored Quote

Once you contact Catford Movers, we’ll discuss your move date, locations, access issues, key items and your preferred level of service. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what is included so you can plan your budget with confidence.

2. Office Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We then carry out a virtual or onsite survey of your office. This lets us understand volumes, any heavy or delicate equipment, parking, lift access and timing restrictions (such as after-hours or weekend moves). The survey is crucial for accurate planning and ensuring we assign the right number of professional movers and vehicles.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer flexible packing options to suit your team:

• Full packing service – our team packs all office contents, IT equipment and files using quality materials.
• Part packing – we handle fragile, bulky or technical items while your staff pack personal desks.
• Self packing – we simply supply crates or boxes and move what you have prepared.

Equipment and furniture are carefully wrapped and protected, and everything is labelled for straightforward placement at the new premises.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and common areas, and systematically loads your items. All vehicles are fitted for secure transit, and we use straps, blankets and specialist equipment for larger items. We plan routes around Catford to avoid unnecessary delays and keep your schedule on track.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload items into the agreed rooms and areas, placing desks, chairs and equipment where you need them. We can follow desk plans or seating charts if supplied in advance. Once everything is in position, we remove our packing materials, leaving you ready to reconnect and resume work as quickly as possible.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals in Catford

We believe in clear, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of furniture, IT equipment and contents
• Number of staff required and length of the move
• Distance between old and new offices
• Packing services and materials requested
• Access constraints, parking and out-of-hours working (if needed)

We provide fixed-price quotes wherever possible, so you know the cost before work starts. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges are discussed and agreed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Attempting an office move with your own staff or a casual man-and-van can create risk, disruption and unexpected costs. Professional office removals provide:

• Fully insured transport and handling of business assets
• Experienced crews used to dismantling and reassembling office furniture
• Better protection for IT, screens and fragile items
• Reduced downtime and a structured move timetable
• Compliance with building rules, lift bookings and access requirements

Using a professional removals company like Catford Movers allows your team to focus on their jobs while we manage the physical move safely and efficiently.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your business assets are valuable and must be protected throughout the move. Catford Movers operates to recognised professional standards and carries:

• Goods in transit insurance for your office furniture and equipment while being moved
• Public liability cover for work carried out in offices, communal areas and public spaces
• Trained office moving teams with experience in handling IT and sensitive equipment

We follow careful loading, securing and lifting practices, and we are happy to work alongside your own IT or facilities teams to coordinate responsibilities clearly.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Practices

We treat your office contents with the same care we would give our own. This includes:

• Using padded covers and protective wrap on furniture and IT
• Protecting lifts, walls and flooring where required
• Labelling crates and boxes clearly for easier unpacking

We also aim to work responsibly, minimising waste by reusing crates and materials where appropriate, and recycling packing materials when they reach end of life. When disposing of unwanted office furniture, we always look for reuse and recycling options before landfill.

Real-World Office Removal Scenarios

Moving to a Larger Office

Growing businesses in Catford often need more space. We help you move to larger premises, coordinating with building management, booking lifts and planning an efficient layout at the new site so your staff can settle in quickly.

Internal or Multi-Site Relocations

Not all office moves are across town. We regularly support internal reshuffles, moving teams between floors or buildings, and relocating departments between multiple Catford sites while keeping disruption to a minimum.

Urgent and Time-Critical Moves

Sometimes moves must happen quickly due to lease changes, building works or unexpected issues. Where possible, we offer urgent and short-notice office removals, planning extended hours or weekend work to meet your deadlines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Catford cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both properties and the level of packing required. Smaller offices may be completed within a day with a modest crew, while larger or multi-floor moves require more planning and resources. After a survey, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what’s included. There are no hidden charges, and any optional extras are explained upfront so you can stay within your budget.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we do accommodate same-day or urgent office moves in and around Catford. Availability will depend on the size and complexity of the job, as we won’t compromise on safety or standards. For urgent relocations, we’ll focus on the essential areas first – such as main workstations and IT – to get you operational quickly. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move, and we’ll advise honestly on what’s achievable within your timeframe.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

We carry comprehensive goods in transit insurance to cover your office furniture and equipment while it is being moved, along with public liability cover for work carried out on-site. This insurance operates alongside our careful handling procedures, protective packing and experienced staff. During the survey, you can highlight any particularly high-value or sensitive items so we can confirm how they are covered. If you have your own business insurance, we’re happy to work with your broker to ensure all bases are covered.

What is included in a typical office removals service?

A standard office removal includes the loading, transport and unloading of desks, chairs, storage units, IT equipment, files and general office contents between your current and new premises. We can add packing services, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, crate hire and out-of-hours working, depending on your needs. Our quote will set out exactly what we will do on the day, so you know what your staff should pack or prepare themselves and what our team will take care of.

What’s the difference between a removals company and a man-and-van?

A dedicated removals company offers structured planning, trained staff, suitable vehicles, and fully insured cover for your office items. We carry out surveys, manage access, protect buildings and provide the right materials for safe transport. A general man-and-van service may be adequate for small, simple moves, but often lacks the expertise, staffing levels and insurance needed for business-critical relocations. Choosing a professional office removals firm reduces risk, minimises downtime and gives you a clear point of responsibility throughout the move.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

For most Catford office removals, we recommend booking as early as possible – ideally four to six weeks ahead for larger moves. This gives time to carry out surveys, coordinate with building management and arrange any packing services. Smaller offices can sometimes be scheduled at shorter notice, especially during quieter periods. If you have a fixed lease end date or fit-out timetable, contact us as soon as it’s confirmed so we can align our availability and help you plan a smooth transition.
