We regularly support local businesses along London Road, High Street Colliers Wood, the Tandem Centre and wider SW19, from small serviced offices to multi-floor headquarters. Our local knowledge of access, parking restrictions and building management requirements helps your move run smoothly.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We’ll ask a few key questions about your current and new offices, your preferred dates, access limitations and any critical equipment. Based on this, we’ll provide an initial, no-obligation estimate and suggest the most suitable service options, including packing, dismantling and out-of-hours moves if needed.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most office moves we recommend a detailed survey. This can be done virtually via video call or in person at your premises in Colliers Wood. We’ll assess the volume of furniture and equipment, staircases and lifts, parking, loading areas and any building management rules. This allows us to produce an accurate fixed or capped quote and plan vehicle sizes, staffing and timings precisely.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible options:
- Full packing service – we provide crates, boxes and packing materials, label and pack all office contents, and prepare IT and furniture according to your instructions.
- Part packing – we handle fragile or technical items, while your staff pack personal and non-critical items.
- Self-packing – we supply crates and materials in advance so your team can pack at their own pace.
Where agreed, we can also dismantle desks and furniture, decommission basic IT, and carefully label everything by department, floor or desk to simplify set-up.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, usually outside core office hours to reduce disruption. We protect floors, lifts and doorways with covers and padding, then load systematically according to your move plan. All vehicles are clean, equipped with straps, blankets and trolleys, and covered by goods in transit insurance. We always focus on secure, stable loading for sensitive IT and furniture.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new office, we unload in an organised way, placing items directly into their designated rooms or zones, following your labelling system or floor plan. On request, we can reassemble furniture, position desks and chairs, and set up meeting rooms so your staff can get back to work quickly. We remove our packing materials and can arrange a return collection for reusable crates.
Transparent Office Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, honest pricing with no surprises. Our office removals in Colliers Wood are priced based on:
- Volume and type of furniture and equipment
- Number of staff required and expected hours
- Distance between old and new offices
- Access factors (stairs, lifts, restricted parking, long carries)
- Additional services such as packing, furniture dismantling/reassembly and waste removal
We’ll provide a written quote setting out what is included, any assumptions, and potential optional extras. Wherever possible we agree fixed prices in advance, particularly for planned, larger relocations.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Trying to move an office using staff cars or a casual man-and-van can quickly become stressful, risky and time-consuming. Professional office removals offer several key advantages:
- Planned downtime and a clear schedule rather than open-ended disruption
- Trained teams who know how to handle IT equipment, heavy desks and awkward access safely
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your peace of mind
- Correct equipment – trolleys, dollies, belts and wrapping materials
- Reduced risk of staff injuries and damage to office buildings
By using a structured, professional service, you protect your business continuity, your staff, and your assets.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Removal Van Colliers Wood operates to robust professional standards on every move:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury.
- Trained moving teams – all staff receive ongoing training in lifting techniques, packing, and safe handling of office equipment.
- Clear documentation – written quotes, agreed move plans and, where required, risk assessments and method statements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your office assets as if they were our own. Our teams use padded covers, floor protection, monitor bags and proper wrapping for fragile items. Desks and cabinets are secured in transit to prevent movement. We also take a responsible approach to sustainability:
- Use of reusable crates rather than single-use cardboard where practical
- Recycling or responsible disposal of unwanted furniture and packaging
- Planning routes to minimise mileage and fuel use
We are happy to discuss ways to make your Colliers Wood office move as environmentally responsible as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Colliers Wood cost?
The cost of an office removal depends on the volume and type of furniture and equipment, the distance between premises, access restrictions and any extra services such as packing or furniture dismantling. Smaller office moves within Colliers Wood can often be completed in a single day with a compact team, while multi-floor or multi-vehicle relocations will be priced accordingly. After a brief discussion and survey, we’ll provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what’s included and can budget with confidence.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent office removals in Colliers Wood, depending on our schedule and the scale of the move. For smaller offices, internal moves or partial relocations, we may be able to deploy a team at short notice. Larger or more complex moves usually benefit from at least a few days’ planning to ensure minimal disruption. If you’re facing an urgent situation, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll give you an honest assessment of what can be achieved and the options available.
What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?
All our office removals are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your items while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy limits and terms. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third-party property. During the quotation stage we’ll explain how the cover works, what is included, and any especially high-value items that may need to be declared. You are always welcome to ask for copies of our insurance certificates for your records or building management requirements.
What’s included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes providing the appropriate vehicle and team, protective equipment, loading, secure transport, and unloading at your new office with placement in the correct rooms or zones. We can add services such as packing, supply of crates and materials, dismantling and reassembly of desks, basic IT decommissioning, and removal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. During the survey we’ll agree exactly what you want us to handle and set it out clearly in your written quote, so there is no confusion on moving day.
How is a professional office removal different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service is usually focused on simple collection and delivery, with limited planning, labour and insurance. A professional office removal, by contrast, involves detailed preparation, trained staff, proper equipment, and structured protection for your business. We plan around your working hours, provide documentation for building management, label and organise your items, and carry goods in transit and public liability insurance. This reduces disruption, protects your staff and assets, and gives you a clear, accountable point of contact throughout the move.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For most office relocations we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or out-of-hours slot. This allows time for surveys, coordination with building management, crate delivery and staff communication. Larger or more complex moves may benefit from even more notice. However, we recognise that business plans can change quickly, and we do our best to accommodate shorter timescales where possible. The earlier you get in touch, the more options we’ll have to structure your move around your ideal timetable.
