Expert Office Removals in Tooting

Office moves are very different from domestic removals. You’re dealing with IT systems, confidential paperwork, staff schedules and often strict building management rules. Our dedicated office removals team is experienced in planning and delivering relocations for all sizes of business in and around Tooting – from single rooms to multi-floor offices.

We can work outside normal hours, including evenings and weekends, to help you move at a time that suits your business. From first enquiry through to the final desk being placed, you’ll have a single point of contact to keep everything on track.

Local Tooting Knowledge That Keeps Your Move Smooth

Working in Tooting every day means we understand the area’s parking restrictions, busy periods, loading bays and building access quirks. This local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings, arrange parking suspensions where required, and avoid unnecessary delays.

Whether your office is near Tooting Broadway, Tooting Bec, or in one of the nearby business hubs, we know how to navigate tight streets, shared entrances and mixed-use buildings so your move runs smoothly from start to finish.

Our service is designed to support a wide range of clients in Tooting and nearby areas:

• Homeowners running a business from home and moving a home office set-up.
• Renters relocating from serviced offices, co-working spaces or small rented units.
• Landlords clearing or reconfiguring commercial offices between tenants.

• Desks, chairs, meeting tables and reception furniture
• Desktop computers, monitors, laptops and peripherals
• Servers, network equipment and telecoms hardware (in cooperation with your IT team)

Items We Cannot or Generally Do Not Move

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

You contact Tooting Movers by phone or online with your move details – location, dates, office size and any specific needs. We’ll ask a few questions to understand your timescales and priorities, then provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey for a more accurate quote. All quotes are clear and itemised so you know exactly what’s included.

2. Office Survey – Virtual or Onsite

Next, we carry out a survey of your current and new offices. This can be done via video call or in person. We assess access, lifts, stairwells, parking, the number of workstations, IT equipment and any heavy or fragile items. From this, we create a move plan, agree timings and confirm your fixed-price quotation.

3. Packing & Preparation

Our team can provide a full packing service or supply crates and materials for your team to pack. Where we pack, we carefully label crates by department and workstation, protect IT kit with anti-static wrapping, and dismantle furniture as needed. We coordinate with your IT provider where necessary so equipment is shut down and prepared correctly.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained crew arrive on time with the right vehicles, trolleys and protective materials. Floors, doors and lifts are protected where required. We load according to the agreed plan, keeping departments and workstations grouped together to speed up set-up at the new site. Your items are transported in our fully insured vehicles with appropriate securing and padding.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload in a controlled, organised way, placing crates, desks and equipment in their designated areas. Furniture is reassembled, and we set up each workstation to the agreed layout as far as practically possible. We can remove used packaging and crates once you’ve unpacked, leaving the office tidy and ready for your team.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We know businesses need clear costs to budget properly. Our office removals in Tooting are priced based on:

• The volume of furniture, equipment and files
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, parking distance)
• Distance between addresses
• Level of packing and dismantling required
• Out-of-hours or weekend working if requested

Once we’ve carried out a survey, we provide a detailed, written quotation so there are no surprises on the day. If your needs change before the move, we’ll discuss any price adjustments with you in advance.

Why Use Professional Office Removers vs DIY or Man-and-Van

Office moves involve more than just lifting boxes. A DIY approach or casual man-and-van often leads to delays, damaged equipment and frustrated staff. With Tooting Movers you benefit from:

• Trained office moving teams who handle IT and furniture safely
• Proper Goods in Transit insurance and Public Liability cover
• Structured planning to minimise downtime and disruption
• Specialist moving equipment and protective materials
• Reliable timings and clear communication throughout

In most cases, the cost of professional removals is far lower than the potential loss of business and replacement costs when things go wrong.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your office equipment and data are valuable. We take this responsibility seriously. All office removals carried out by Tooting Movers include:

• Goods in Transit insurance to protect your items while they are being transported
• Public Liability insurance for work carried out at your premises and in shared buildings
• Trained, uniformed staff following safe manual handling practices
• Risk assessments and method statements where required by building management

We’re happy to provide copies of insurance certificates and any required documentation to your building manager or landlord in advance of the move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped or blanket-protected, IT equipment is carefully padded, and floors and doorways are protected where needed. We use re-usable crates wherever possible to cut down on single-use cardboard, and we plan our routes to reduce unnecessary mileage.

Where clients are downsizing or refreshing their office, we can help arrange responsible disposal or donation of unwanted furniture and equipment, aiming to keep as much as possible out of landfill.

Real-World Office Removals in Tooting

Our Tooting office removals service supports a wide variety of real-world situations, including:

• Relocating a growing business from a shared co-working space into a dedicated office
• Moving professional practices such as solicitors, accountants or clinics between premises
• Internal moves – reshuffling teams between floors or departments within the same building
• Urgent moves where leases have ended unexpectedly or sublets have changed
• End-of-lease clearances for landlords preparing offices for new tenants

Whatever your scenario, we adapt our approach so your staff stay focused on their work while we handle the move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Tooting cost?

Costs depend on the size of your office, the amount of furniture and IT equipment, access at both properties, and whether you need packing or out-of-hours working. After a survey, we provide a fixed, itemised quotation so you know exactly what you’re paying for. As a rough guide, a small office move within Tooting may cost a few hundred pounds, while larger or more complex relocations will be higher. We always aim to offer fair, transparent pricing that reflects the work involved and the protection provided.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or short-notice office moves in Tooting and nearby areas. The more notice you give us, the more options we’ll have for planning around your preferred dates and times. For genuine emergencies – such as sudden lease issues or building problems – we’ll do our best to prioritise you and put together a rapid plan. Contact us as soon as you’re aware of the need to move and we’ll let you know what’s realistically achievable.

Are my office items insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our Goods in Transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and our Public Liability insurance covers our work at your premises. During your survey we’ll explain the key points of cover and any limitations, and we can provide policy details on request. For very high-value specialist equipment, we may recommend that you also check with your own insurer to ensure you have complete protection that matches your organisation’s risk requirements.

What’s included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment and crates between the agreed addresses. We can also dismantle and reassemble standard office furniture, protect IT and fragile items, and position everything in the correct rooms or departments. Optional extras include full packing, crate hire, evening or weekend moves and disposal of unwanted items. All inclusions and any extras will be clearly listed in your written quotation so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.

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

A casual man-and-van might be fine for a few personal items, but office moves demand more structure and protection. With Tooting Movers you get trained staff, proper insurances, a written move plan and a named contact in charge of your relocation. We label and organise items by team or workstation, protect IT equipment correctly, and work to agreed timescales that minimise disruption. In contrast, many man-and-van operators have limited resources, may not be fully insured for commercial moves, and rarely provide the level of planning offices typically require.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For most office moves we recommend booking at least three to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a weekend or end-of-month slot, which are popular. Larger or more complex relocations may benefit from even more lead time so we can coordinate with your IT team and building management. However, we understand that business needs can change quickly; if your timescales are tighter, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll advise on availability and the most practical options for your move.
