Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Man with Van Hendon by phone or online. We discuss your current and new locations, timescales, building access, and the scope of the move. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, estimated time, and any optional services such as packing or weekend work.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most office moves, a survey is essential. We can carry this out virtually using video, or onsite in Hendon where appropriate. During the survey we assess quantity and type of furniture, IT equipment, access issues, lifts and stairs, and any items needing special protection. This ensures the correct team size, vehicle capacity, and materials are allocated.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on your preference, we can provide:
- Full packing service – we pack files, equipment and contents into labelled crates or cartons.
- Part packing service – you pack non-essential items; we handle IT, fragile, or heavy items.
- Self-packing – we supply crates and materials, and you pack before moving day.
We label everything to match your new floor plan so it can be placed correctly on arrival.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day our professional, uniformed team arrive on time with all necessary equipment. We protect floors and common areas where required, dismantle furniture as agreed, and load systematically. All goods are secured within our vehicles to prevent movement in transit. Your contents are covered by our goods in transit insurance during the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new premises we unload to your plan, placing crates, desks and equipment into the correct rooms or desk positions. We reassemble furniture that we dismantled, position workstations and, where arranged, assist with reconnecting basic items such as monitors and desktop setups (specialist IT work should be carried out by your IT provider). We remove our waste packing materials, leaving you ready to get back to work.
Transparent Office Removals Pricing
We know businesses need predictable costs. Our pricing is based on clear factors:
- Volume and type of furniture and equipment
- Distance between properties
- Access, parking, lifts and any restrictions
- Level of packing service required
- Day and time (standard hours vs evenings/weekends)
You will receive a written quotation with no hidden extras, explaining what is included and any optional services. For smaller office moves or single floors, we may offer a fixed price; for more complex multi-phase moves, we may propose a structured schedule with staged costs.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY
Trying to move an office using staff cars or an unstructured man-and-van service often leads to delays, damage, and health and safety risks. A professional office removal service brings:
- Planned sequencing so your key functions are disrupted for the shortest time
- Safe handling of heavy items, reducing risk of staff injury
- Appropriate protection for IT and sensitive equipment
- Insurance-backed cover for your goods and the buildings
- Experienced project-style coordination rather than ad hoc lifting and loading
This is particularly important in shared buildings where damage to communal areas or poor timing can affect your relationship with landlords and neighbours.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man with Van Hendon operates to clear, professional standards designed to protect your business:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to property or injury to third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our crews receive training in manual handling, packing, lifting techniques and the correct use of equipment.
We are happy to share details of our cover and working practices so you can satisfy internal risk and compliance requirements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your office equipment and premises as carefully as we would our own. This includes:
- Using padded covers, floor protection and monitor sleeves where needed
- Wrapping delicate items individually
- Securing loads to prevent movement and vibration damage
We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact by:
- Reusing durable crates and protective materials where possible
- Recycling cardboard and packing materials after moves
- Planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage
Real-World Office Removals Use Cases
Moving to a Larger Office in Hendon
Growing businesses often outgrow their space. We manage phased moves so that key departments remain operational while others relocate, and we coordinate with your IT provider to align equipment moves with network readiness.
Relocating to New Premises Across London
For firms leaving Hendon for another part of London, we plan around building access times, loading restrictions and any permits. Early or late starts and weekend work can be arranged to minimise impact on your clients and staff.
Urgent or Short-Notice Office Moves
Sometimes a lease ends unexpectedly, or you need to vacate quickly due to refurbishment or building issues. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or rapid-response moves, scaling the team to complete the job safely and efficiently within your deadline.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Hendon cost?
Costs depend on the size of your office, the amount and type of equipment, access at both ends, and the level of packing required. Smaller office moves within Hendon may be priced on a fixed fee basis, while larger or multi-phase relocations are usually quoted individually after a survey. We provide a clear written quotation before you commit, setting out exactly what is included, any optional extras, and how long we expect the move to take. There are no hidden charges, and we are happy to explain how the price is calculated.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Subject to availability, we can accommodate same-day or urgent office removals in Hendon and nearby areas. The more notice you can give, the easier it is to allocate the right team size and vehicles, but we understand that business circumstances change quickly. For urgent moves, we focus on core essentials first – such as IT, workstations and key documents – and can return for less critical items if needed. Contact us as soon as you know you have a deadline, and we will advise honestly about what is achievable.
Are my office contents insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also carry public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage to the buildings or injury to third parties during the move. For high-value specialist equipment, we recommend telling us in advance so we can confirm cover levels or suggest additional arrangements. We are happy to provide proof of insurance for your records or for your building management and compliance teams.
What is included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of agreed items, plus basic protection using blankets, straps and covers. We can add packing and unpacking, supply of crates and materials, furniture disassembly/reassembly, and out-of-hours working as required. During the quotation and survey stages, we clarify exactly what you want us to handle and what your team will do themselves. That way there are no assumptions on move day, and everyone knows their responsibilities. We can also schedule collections of empty crates after you have unpacked.
How is a professional office removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may be suitable for a few items, but office removals usually demand more structure. As a professional removals company, we plan the move, allocate trained crews, supply appropriate packing materials, and provide insurance-backed protection. We work to agreed timings, coordinate with building management, and use proven labelling systems so that equipment and documents end up in the right place. This reduces downtime, minimises risk to your staff, and helps you maintain continuity with clients and stakeholders before, during and after the move.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For most office moves, we recommend contacting us at least three to six weeks before your preferred move date, especially if you need weekend or out-of-hours work. This allows time for a survey, proper planning, crate delivery and staff communication. However, we regularly assist businesses on shorter notice when leases change or circumstances shift. Even if your timings are uncertain, an early conversation helps us pencil in capacity and advise on preparation. The earlier you engage, the more options we can offer in terms of dates and scope.
