Office Removals
Office Removals in Chiswick by Chiswick Movers
Relocating your office is one of the biggest operational changes a business will make. At Chiswick Movers, we provide organised, low-disruption office removals in and around Chiswick, handled by experienced, professional moving teams who understand how businesses work.
Specialist Office Removals Explained
Office removals are very different from a standard house move. You’re not just moving desks and boxes – you’re protecting data, minimising downtime, and keeping your team working. Our service is designed around your business hours, building rules and IT requirements.
We plan every detail: access, lifts, loading bays, parking, floor protection, IT disconnection and reconnection plans, and where each team member will sit at the new site. We can carry out moves out of hours or at weekends to keep your business trading as normal.
Local Expertise in Chiswick and West London
Based in Chiswick, we know the local roads, business parks and high streets inside out. From Georgian offices on Chiswick Mall to modern spaces along the Great West Road, we understand the quirks of local buildings: tight staircases, limited parking, loading restrictions and concierge-managed entrances.
Our local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings, secure suitable parking suspensions where needed, and liaise effectively with building management to keep your move compliant and efficient.
Who Our Office Removals Service Is For
Homeowners Working From Home
If you run a business from home or have a dedicated home office, we can move your office furniture, files and tech safely to your new property or to storage, keeping work disruption to a minimum.
Renters
For those renting workspace or co-working offices, we handle moves in and out of serviced offices, ensuring you meet building rules and leave your space in good order for handover.

Landlords and managing agents use our office clearance and office removals services when tenants vacate, refurbish or sub-divide commercial units. We can remove remaining furniture and equipment and prepare the property for re-letting.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your current and new addresses, rough inventory, and preferred move dates. We’ll discuss your priorities, building constraints and any time-critical elements, then provide an initial estimate so you can budget with confidence.
2. Detailed Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
We arrange a professional survey, either onsite or via video, to assess access, quantity of furniture and IT, special items, and parking. For larger offices, we may also liaise with your building management. After the survey, you’ll receive a written, itemised quotation outlining the services we’ll provide.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer a full packing service or can supply crates and boxes for your team to pack. Options include:
- Crate hire for files and IT equipment
- Colour-coded labelling systems for departments and floors
- Protective wrapping for desks, screens and furniture
- Secure handling of confidential documents
We can pack during working hours, evenings or weekends depending on what suits your business best.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and communal areas, and systematically dismantles and loads furniture and equipment. All items are secured using professional straps and padded blankets in our purpose-equipped vehicles. We plan vehicle sizes and routes around Chiswick’s roads and loading restrictions to keep everything running smoothly.
5. Unloading & Office Set-Up
At your new premises, we unload and place items according to your agreed floor plan. Desks and standard office furniture are reassembled, crates are placed at the right workstations and IT equipment is positioned ready for your IT team to reconnect. We remove packing materials and can return later to collect empty crates.
Transparent and Fair Pricing
Office removal costs depend on several factors:
- Size of your office and number of workstations
- Volume and type of furniture and equipment
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions)
- Level of packing and unpacking required
- Need for evening, overnight or weekend working
We provide clear, written quotations with no hidden extras. All likely charges are explained in advance, including any additional services such as storage, crate hire or furniture disposal. For some smaller moves, we can offer fixed-price packages; for larger relocations, we’ll outline a day-rate structure with estimated time frames.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY
Using a professional office removals company like Chiswick Movers reduces risk and disruption compared to DIY or casual man-and-van solutions. Our teams are experienced in handling IT equipment, following building rules and protecting shared spaces. We also carry suitable insurance that informal operators may lack.
DIY moves often lead to extended downtime, damaged equipment and added stress for your staff. With us, your team can stay focused on their work while we manage the physical relocation safely and efficiently.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your business assets are valuable, so we back our service with robust protections:
- Goods in transit insurance for your furniture and equipment while being moved
- Public liability cover to protect you and your premises
- Trained moving teams experienced in commercial and IT moves
We work to recognised industry standards, use risk assessments where appropriate and follow safe lifting and handling practices. Policy details and limits are available on request so you can share them with your compliance or facilities team.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your office as we would our own. Floors and walls are protected, furniture is wrapped, and sensitive equipment is secured. Our aim is to hand over both your old and new premises in excellent condition.
We also focus on sustainability by:
- Reusing durable crates instead of excessive single-use cardboard
- Recycling packing materials where possible
- Offering furniture reuse or recycling options for unwanted items
- Planning journeys efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
Typical Office Removals Use Cases
Moving to a Larger Office in Chiswick
Growing teams often need more space. We help businesses upgrade to bigger premises, planning phased moves so departments can remain operational during the transition.
Internal Reorganisations and Restacks
If you’re staying in the same building but changing layout, we manage internal moves, desk swaps and storage reconfiguration, often out of hours so your staff arrive to a fully updated workspace.
Branch Closures and Consolidations
When offices close or merge, we handle removals to new locations, storage facilities or recycling centres, ensuring data and equipment are handled securely and responsibly.
Urgent or Time-Critical Moves
Occasionally, leases end unexpectedly or refurbishments overrun. Where schedules allow, we provide urgent office removals, prioritising essential equipment so your core operations can be up and running quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Chiswick cost?
The cost of an office move in Chiswick depends on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both sites, and how much packing help you need. Smaller moves may be charged at a fixed price, while larger projects are usually based on a day-rate with an agreed crew size. After a survey, we provide a clear, written quotation setting out all charges so you know exactly what to expect before you commit.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
We can often accommodate urgent or short-notice office moves, especially for smaller spaces, provided we have vehicles and crews available. Same-day moves are sometimes possible, but availability will depend on existing bookings and the complexity of your relocation. If you’re working to a tight deadline, contact us as early as possible with key details so we can advise honestly on what can be achieved and prioritise the most critical parts of your move.
What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?
We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your office furniture and equipment while it is being moved, as well as public liability cover for any accidental damage to premises or third parties. Our standard cover is suitable for most office moves, but if you have specialist or very high-value equipment, we may recommend additional cover or specific handling arrangements. We’re happy to share policy details and certificates so your compliance, facilities or finance teams can review and approve them in advance.
What is included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, IT equipment and boxed or crated contents between the agreed addresses. We can also provide packing materials, crate hire, full or partial packing services, dismantling and reassembly of desks and standard furniture, and placement according to your floor plan. Optional extras include storage, disposal or recycling of unwanted items, and out-of-hours or weekend working. All inclusions and exclusions are set out clearly in your written quotation.
How is a professional office removal different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may be adequate for a few items, but most offices need a more structured approach. We provide trained teams, appropriate insurance, planning, protective materials and experience with commercial buildings and IT equipment. We also coordinate with building management on access, loading bays and lifts. This reduces downtime, minimises the risk of damage or data breaches, and ensures your move is completed safely and on schedule, which informal operators often can’t guarantee.
How far in advance should I book an office move?
For most office moves, we recommend booking at least 3–6 weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend. Larger or multi-phase relocations may require longer planning to coordinate surveys, crate delivery and IT arrangements. That said, we understand that leases and projects don’t always run to plan; if your timescale is shorter, contact us and we’ll do our best to accommodate you and propose a realistic schedule based on our current availability.
