We can provide packing materials and, if required, a full packing service, where our trained team carefully packs and labels everything for you.
What's Not Included
To keep moves safe, compliant and efficient, some items and services are excluded or must be discussed in advance:
- Hazardous materials – flammables, chemicals, gas cylinders, paint thinners, fuel
- Illegal or controlled items – anything prohibited by law
- Live animals or plants – we do not transport livestock or large quantities of plants

If you are unsure about a particular item, we're happy to advise before moving day.
Our Office Removals Process
Over many years in the removals trade, we've developed a clear, step-by-step process that keeps Shepherds Bush office moves organised and predictable.
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the basic details: current address, destination, approximate volume of contents, access details and your preferred moving date. We then provide a clear, itemised quote based on:
- Size of office and amount of furniture/equipment
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Distance between locations
- Any packing or dismantling/reassembly needed
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to:
- Assess access, parking and lift use at both ends
- Identify fragile or high-value items
- Plan the sequence of the move to minimise disruption
- Confirm timings, staffing and equipment needs
The survey helps avoid surprises on the day and provides a more accurate fixed-price quotation where appropriate.
3. Packing & Preparation
Depending on your preference, we can offer:
- Full packing service – our team packs everything: IT, files, kitchen, and personal items left on desks (as agreed).
- Part packing service – we handle fragile or high-value items while your staff pack general desk contents.
- Self packing – we supply packing materials and guidance; you pack, we move.
We label boxes clearly by department, floor, or team to make unpacking and set-up faster at the new site.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained moving teams arrive on time with clean, well-maintained vehicles. We protect your premises and contents using:
- Floor and wall protection where required
- Furniture blankets, straps and covers
- Specialist equipment for heavy or awkward items
Everything is loaded systematically so items needed first at the new office are accessible straight away.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new office, we unload and place items in the agreed positions. Desks, chairs and storage are set out according to your layout plan where provided. We can also:
- Reassemble furniture we dismantled for transport
- Position labelled crates and boxes by team or room
- Take away used boxes for reuse or recycling by arrangement
Our aim is that your staff walk into a space that is ready to use as quickly as possible.
Transparent Pricing for Office Removals
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes typically factor in:
- Volume of items or time required for the move
- Number of movers and vehicles needed
- Distance between your old and new offices
- Complexity – access issues, stairs, no-lift buildings, out-of-hours working
- Additional services – packing, dismantling, storage, waste removal
You'll receive a clear written quote before you commit. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (such as congestion charges or extended waiting time) are explained in advance where applicable.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY
Trying to move an office using staff and a casual van might look cheaper at first, but it often leads to longer downtime, damaged equipment and health & safety issues. With our professional office removals service you benefit from:
- Experienced planners who understand commercial moves
- Proper lifting techniques and equipment to reduce the risk of injury
- Systematic packing and labelling so everything is easy to find
- Protection materials designed for furniture and IT equipment
- Appropriate goods in transit insurance for your contents
This means less disruption, less risk and a smoother experience for your team.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Business customers in Shepherds Bush need assurance that their contents are properly protected. We operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your office furniture and equipment while it's in our care
- Public liability cover – protecting your premises and third parties during the move
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on handling fragile items, health & safety, and secure loading
We are happy to share details of our cover and provide documentation where required by landlords or building managers.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your office contents with the same care we would our own. To protect both your items and the environment, we focus on:
- Using reusable protective materials such as blankets, crates and covers
- Offering crate hire to reduce single-use cardboard
- Planning efficient routes around Shepherds Bush and London to cut unnecessary mileage
- Reusing or recycling packing materials wherever possible
This approach helps safeguard your assets while reducing waste and unnecessary cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Shepherds Bush cost?
The cost of office removals in Shepherds Bush depends on several factors: the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both ends, and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger relocations are usually quoted as a fixed price after a survey. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written quotation with all likely charges explained so you can budget accurately and compare like-for-like with other providers.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can support same-day or short-notice office removals in Shepherds Bush and across West London. Urgent moves work best when we focus on the essentials first: core IT, key furniture and important files. If you call us with as much information as possible, we'll quickly assess availability, provide an estimate, and agree a realistic plan and timeline. While advanced booking is always recommended, we understand that business circumstances can change suddenly and will do our best to accommodate you.
Are my office contents insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your office furniture and equipment while it is being moved, plus public liability cover for work on your premises. This is not a substitute for your own business insurance, but it provides important additional protection against accidental damage during the move. We can outline the main terms, limits and exclusions before you book so you know exactly what is covered. If you have high-value or specialist items, please mention these early so we can confirm arrangements.
What is typically included in an office removals service?
A standard office removals service normally includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment, and boxed contents between locations. We can also dismantle and reassemble standard desks and workstations, subject to the design. Packing materials and packing services can be added if required, as well as crate hire for files and IT. Our team will protect items in transit and position them in the agreed locations at your new office. Any extra services, such as storage or disposal of unwanted items, are discussed and quoted separately.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van is usually geared towards small, simple moves and may not have the training, insurance or planning experience needed for a business relocation. A professional office removals service provides structured surveys, written quotations, appropriate insurance, trained staff, and proper equipment and protection. We plan access, sequence the move to reduce downtime, and label items logically for easier set-up. For a business, these differences translate into less risk, fewer delays, and a smoother experience for staff, clients and building managers.
How far in advance should I book my office removal?
For most office moves, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, particularly if you're moving at a busy time of year or need evening or weekend slots. This allows time for a survey, proper planning, arranging packing materials and coordinating with your building management and IT teams. Larger or more complex relocations may need longer lead times. However, if your dates are fixed at short notice, it is still worth contacting us; we will always check our schedule to see if we can accommodate you.
