Office Removals

Office Removals in Dulwich by Dulwich Movers

At Dulwich Movers, we provide carefully planned, low-disruption office removals throughout Dulwich and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced removals company, we understand how critical it is to keep your business running while you relocate. Our team delivers a structured, fully managed service so you and your staff can focus on work, not on boxes.

Professional Office Removals Service in Dulwich

Our office removals service is designed for organisations of all sizes – from small studios to multi-floor offices. We handle everything from initial planning and packing through to setting up your furniture and equipment at the new premises.

Every move is overseen by a dedicated move coordinator who will agree the schedule, plan vehicle access, and make sure our trained crews have the right materials and equipment on the day. We can work outside your core hours – evenings or weekends – to minimise disruption to staff and customers.

Local Dulwich Knowledge You Can Rely On

Operating from Dulwich, we know the local roads, parking restrictions, and building layouts in areas such as East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Herne Hill, Forest Hill and Peckham. This local insight allows us to plan vehicle sizes, loading points and timings accurately, helping to avoid delays and last-minute surprises.

We regularly work with business centres, managed offices and standalone premises across SE21, SE22 and nearby postcodes, and we are used to liaising with building managers and concierges to arrange lift bookings, loading bay access and security sign-in.

Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Although this page focuses on office removals, our commercial and residential expertise covers a wide range of clients:

• Homeowners – moving home and taking a home office or study.
• Renters – relocating flats with desks, IT equipment and work-from-home setups.
• Landlords – clearing or setting up furnished offices or mixed-use properties.
• Businesses – from sole traders to larger companies needing structured office relocations.
• Students – moving accommodation while keeping laptops, monitors and study spaces safe.

Whether you are a growing start-up moving into your first office or an established firm consolidating floors, we tailor our service to the scale and complexity of your move.

What We Can Move in an Office Relocation

Our team is equipped to move most office contents safely and efficiently, including:

• Office furniture – desks, chairs, conference tables, cupboards, shelving, reception furniture.
• IT equipment – PCs, monitors, servers, printers, photocopiers, networking hardware.
• Files and archives – boxed files, archive boxes, secure document containers.
• Kitchen and break-out items – kettles, microwaves, fridges, sofas and coffee tables.
• Displays and signage – whiteboards, noticeboards, artwork, freestanding displays.
• Stock and samples – boxed products, marketing materials, sample libraries.

Items We Do Not Move

For safety and legal reasons, certain items are excluded from our office removals service:

• Hazardous or flammable materials (fuels, chemicals, pressurised gas bottles).
• Illegal or stolen items.
• Live animals or plants requiring specialist transport.
• High-value cash, confidential bearer instruments or jewellery.
• Heavy industrial machinery outside normal office specification.

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey and can recommend specialist services where needed.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

You can contact Dulwich Movers by phone, email or online form with a brief outline of your current office, new location and target moving date. We will discuss your requirements, number of staff, key items and any critical deadlines. At this stage we can often provide an initial guide price or pricing framework so you understand likely costs.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We then carry out a detailed survey, either via video call or an onsite visit. This lets us assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking), IT equipment, and any dismantling or special handling needs. For larger offices, we may map out departments and colour-code floor plans. The survey forms the basis of your written quotation and move plan.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer several levels of packing support:

• Full packing service – our professional team packs everything, including IT and files.
• Part-packing – we focus on fragile, IT and high-value items; staff pack personal desks.
• Self-pack – we supply crates or boxes and materials; you pack in-house.

All crates and boxes can be labelled by department or area so that unloading at the new office is straightforward and organised.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained crew arrives on time with suitable vehicles, trolleys and protective materials. Furniture is dismantled where necessary, wrapped and loaded in a structured order. IT equipment is protected with anti-static wrapping and screen covers. We operate a strict inventory and labelling system, so items can be checked off at collection and delivery.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new premises, we unload systematically, placing crates, furniture and equipment in the agreed locations. Desks and furniture are reassembled, and we position meeting tables, storage units and reception furniture as planned. Once the essentials are in place, we can make adjustments on request so your workspace functions properly from day one.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your written quotation will set out:

• The resources required – vehicles, crew numbers and estimated hours or days.
• Which services are included – packing, furniture dismantling, crate hire, waste removal if agreed.
• Any additional options – storage, weekend working, out-of-hours surcharges where applicable.

Prices are typically based on the volume of goods, access at both ends, distance between properties, and the level of packing and preparation required. We are always happy to explain how costs are calculated so you can compare like-for-like with other quotations.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

Moving an office is more complex than moving a few boxes. A casual man-and-van or DIY approach often leads to delays, equipment damage and extended downtime. Our professional service offers:

• Structured planning to keep your business operational.
• Trained crews familiar with handling IT and office furniture.
• Appropriate vehicles and materials to protect your assets.
• Clear accountability, written terms and proper insurance.

The cost difference is usually small compared with the risk and cost of disruption if things go wrong.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your business equipment represents a significant investment, so protection is essential. Dulwich Movers is fully insured and operates to recognised industry standards.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your office contents while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage or injury on-site.
• Trained moving teams – all staff receive ongoing training in safe lifting, packing, IT handling and customer care.

We can provide copies of our insurance certificates on request and will explain how cover applies to your specific move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your premises and equipment with the same care we would apply in our own offices. Floors, doors and lifts are protected where needed, and furniture and equipment are wrapped appropriately. We adopt a practical approach to sustainability by:

• Using reusable plastic crates instead of single-use boxes where possible.
• Recycling packing materials and office waste generated by the move.
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.

If you are upgrading or downsizing, we can help signpost charities and recycling schemes for surplus furniture.

Real-World Office Removals Scenarios

Moving House with a Home Office

Many Dulwich clients now work from home. We can integrate your home office move with the rest of your household contents, ensuring computers, monitors and files are packed and reconnected in good time so you can resume work quickly.

Office Relocation Within Dulwich

For businesses relocating within SE21 or SE22, we often schedule moves over a weekend, moving key departments first and supporting phased returns to work. Our crews know the local business centres and can work around building access rules.

Urgent or Time-Critical Moves

Lease deadlines and unexpected circumstances sometimes require short-notice moves. Subject to availability, we can arrange urgent office removals in Dulwich, bringing in additional crews and vehicles where needed to meet your timeframe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Dulwich typically cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at each property, and how much packing support you need. A small office move within Dulwich might be completed in a day with one vehicle and a small crew, while larger or multi-floor offices will need more resources over several days. After a survey, we provide a detailed, fixed-price quotation so you know exactly what is included and can budget accurately, with no hidden extras added later.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office removals?

We understand that business circumstances can change quickly, so we do our best to accommodate urgent or short-notice moves. Same-day office removals in Dulwich are sometimes possible if we have suitable vehicles and crews available. The more information you can provide at enquiry stage, the better we can plan. For critical deadlines, we may allocate additional staff or work extended hours to ensure your key departments and IT are moved on time. Contact us as early as possible to discuss options.

What insurance cover is included with your service?

All moves carried out by Dulwich Movers are protected by our goods in transit insurance, covering your items while they are being handled, loaded, transported and unloaded. We also hold public liability cover for peace of mind in shared buildings and busy commercial environments. Our policy details and limits are available on request, and we are happy to explain how they apply to your particular move. If you have especially high-value or unusual items, we can discuss additional cover or tailored arrangements.

What exactly is included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes the provision of vehicles and trained movers, careful loading, secure transport and unloading with basic placement of furniture and boxes. We can also dismantle and reassemble standard office furniture as needed. Optional services include packing and unpacking, crate hire, disposal of unwanted items by prior agreement, and short or long-term storage. Your quotation will clearly set out what is included so you can decide whether to add packing support or keep certain tasks in-house to suit your budget and timescale.

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

A professional office removal is planned and managed from start to finish. We provide surveys, written quotations, fully insured services and experienced crews who handle IT and office furniture daily. A typical man-and-van service may be fine for a few items but often lacks formal insurance, trained staff and the resources to manage larger or complex moves. This can lead to delays, damage or extended downtime. With Dulwich Movers, you benefit from structured planning, proper equipment and clear accountability throughout the relocation.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

For most office moves, we recommend booking at least three to six weeks in advance, especially if you need weekend or evening work or are moving at a busy time of year. This allows time for surveys, planning, crate delivery and staff communication. That said, we regularly help businesses on shorter timescales and will do our best to accommodate late bookings where our schedule allows. As soon as you have indicative dates or a lease completion date, it is wise to get in touch so we can reserve resources for you.
