Office Removals

Office Removals in Pimlico by Pimlico Movers

At Pimlico Movers, we provide carefully planned, professional office removals in Pimlico and the surrounding Central London area. With years of hands-on experience moving businesses of all sizes, we focus on minimising downtime, protecting your assets, and keeping your team working with as little disruption as possible.

Specialist Office Removals in Pimlico

Office moves are very different from domestic removals. There are servers to protect, data to safeguard, staff to keep informed and often strict building access times to respect. Our trained office removals teams know how to work around these constraints calmly and efficiently.

We handle everything from small studio offices and co-working spaces through to multi-floor corporate relocations. Whether you are moving within Pimlico, across London, or consolidating departments into a new head office, we provide a structured, fully managed service.

Local Expertise in Pimlico

Working in Pimlico every week means we understand its particular challenges: tight streets, controlled parking zones, loading restrictions, and listed buildings with delicate communal areas. We arrange parking suspensions where required, liaise with building management, and plan vehicle access so loading and unloading run smoothly.

Our local knowledge helps you avoid delays, fines, and last-minute surprises, keeping your project on schedule and your team reassured.

Who Our Office Removals Service Is For

Although this page focuses on office moves, our commercial relocation expertise applies to a wide range of clients:

• Homeowners running businesses from home who need to move both household and office equipment in one coordinated move.
• Renters in serviced offices or co-working spaces relocating to new premises or scaling up.
• Landlords reorganising or refurbishing commercial properties and needing contents removed, stored or repositioned.
• Businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to multi-site organisations, moving within or out of Pimlico.
• Students and freelancers with small offices or studio spaces needing efficient, low-disruption moves.

What’s Included in Our Office Removals Service

We tailor each move, but a typical office relocation with Pimlico Movers can include:

• Workstation removals – desks, chairs, pedestals, meeting tables and storage units.
• IT and electronics handling – computers, monitors, printers, copiers, phones, AV equipment and peripherals.
• Server and network equipment (working alongside your IT team to follow agreed shutdown and restart procedures).
• Archive and document moves, including secure packing, labelling and placement into correct storage rooms.
• Kitchen and breakout area items – fridges, microwaves, sofas and other communal furniture.
• Disassembly and reassembly of modular desks, racking and shelving where required.
• Protective materials – crates, cartons, IT covers, monitor sleeves, floor and door protection.

What We Cannot Move

For safety, legal, and insurance reasons, there are some items we normally cannot transport as part of an office removal:

• Hazardous materials such as gas cylinders, fuels, paints, solvents, and industrial chemicals.
• Illegal items or anything that cannot legally be transported in the UK.
• Large quantities of cash, high-value personal jewellery, or sensitive personal documents best carried by you.
• Perishable food stock requiring temperature-controlled transport.

If you are unsure about a particular item, we can advise on the best and safest way to manage it.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

Contact us with your move details, including addresses, key dates, team size and any time restrictions. We provide an initial guide price and outline the likely resources needed. At this stage we also discuss any specialist requirements, such as server moves, archive handling or out-of-hours working.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

To give a firm quotation and detailed move plan, we carry out a free survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite in Pimlico. We measure access points, lifts and stairwells, assess parking, note any fragile or high-value items, and discuss your floor plan and phasing. The result is a clear, written proposal with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

Before moving day, we supply crates, labels and packing materials, and agree a labelling system (e.g. department, floor and workstation numbers). Our trained packers can handle all or part of the packing, including IT equipment and archives, or we can work alongside your team. We also plan protection for lifts, corridors and reception areas to keep both your old and new premises in good condition.

4. Loading & Transport

On the agreed day, our office removals crew arrives on time with the appropriate vehicles and equipment. Items are wrapped, protected and moved according to the plan, with heavier items moved first to maximise efficiency. Vehicles are loaded in a logical order so that key areas such as IT and reception can be set up first on arrival at your new office.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new premises we place furniture, crates and equipment at the correct desks and rooms, following your floor plan and labels. Our team can reassemble desks and racking, position meeting rooms, and assist with basic set-up so staff can sit down and start working as quickly as possible. We remove used packing materials and can arrange a crate collection schedule to suit you.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

Office removal costs in Pimlico depend on several factors: office size, volume of furniture and equipment, distance between sites, access conditions, packing requirements and timing (e.g. evenings or weekends). We usually price larger moves on a fixed quotation, and smaller projects on a day or half-day rate for our crew and vehicles.

Our written quotations clearly set out what is included, any optional services, and how variations (such as extra crates or changes to dates) are handled. There are no last-minute surprise charges; any potential additional costs are explained in advance so you can budget accurately.

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

Using an ad-hoc or DIY approach for an office move can seem cheaper, but it often leads to longer downtime, damaged equipment and avoidable disruption. Professional office removals bring:

• Planned workflows that keep key departments functioning for as long as possible.
• Specialist handling for IT, servers and confidential materials.
• Fully insured operations with appropriate goods in transit and public liability cover.
• Trained crews used to working in busy, shared and high-security buildings.
• Proper equipment – crates, trolleys, ramps and protection – to move items safely and efficiently.

A basic man-and-van service rarely offers this level of planning, insurance or accountability, and often relies on your own staff to do much of the heavy lifting, which can risk both injuries and damage.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Pimlico Movers operates to high professional standards, giving your business peace of mind from start to finish. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your office contents while they are being moved, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third-party property.

Our moving teams are trained in manual handling, safe loading techniques and the specific care required for IT and office furniture. Risk assessments and method statements can be provided for building management or health and safety teams when needed. We are happy to work alongside your internal project manager or facilities team to align with your company policies.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office equipment, documents and premises as if they were our own. Doors, floors and lifts are protected; fragile items are wrapped; and IT equipment is carried in purpose-designed crates or covers. For archives and confidential materials, we follow agreed labelling and handling procedures to support your data protection obligations.

Sustainability is increasingly important to our clients, and to us. We use reusable plastic crates wherever possible, minimise single-use plastics, and plan routes carefully to reduce unnecessary mileage. Where furniture is no longer needed, we can help coordinate responsible clearance options, including reuse and recycling schemes.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

• Moving to a larger office – growing teams relocating to larger premises in Pimlico or nearby areas, with phased moves to maintain customer service levels.
• Internal reorganisation – departments swapping floors, hot-desking layouts being introduced, or meeting spaces expanded, all handled over evenings or weekends.
• Office consolidation – merging multiple small offices into one central site, including coordination of multiple move days and interim storage.
• Urgent relocations – short-notice moves due to lease issues, building works or unexpected events; we do our best to accommodate tight timescales.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office removal in Pimlico cost?

The cost of an office move depends mainly on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both sites, and whether you need packing, weekend working or storage. Smaller office moves in Pimlico may be completed within a day, while larger, multi-floor projects can span several phases. We provide a clear, itemised quotation after a free survey, so you know exactly what is included. Our aim is to give you a fair, realistic price that reflects the resources needed to move you safely and efficiently.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or short-notice office removals in Pimlico. Urgent moves usually require a focused survey call and flexible planning, and sometimes we may work into evenings or weekends to meet your deadlines. Availability will depend on crew and vehicle capacity, so the earlier you contact us, the better. Even for urgent relocations, we follow a structured process, prioritising essential equipment and departments first to get you operational as quickly as possible.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your office equipment, furniture and contents while they are being moved, and public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage to buildings or third-party property. The specific limits and terms are detailed in our quotation and can be adjusted for particularly high-value items if required. We always recommend that you maintain your own business insurance and, where needed, notify your insurer of the move so cover remains continuous throughout your relocation.

What is included in a professional office removals service?

A professional office removals service typically includes planning and survey, provision of crates and packing materials, packing support if required, dismantling and reassembly of standard office furniture, careful loading and transport, and placement of items in the correct locations in your new premises. We also protect lifts, floors and walls, and remove standard packing materials afterwards. Additional services, such as storage, IT decommissioning, disposal of unwanted items or out-of-hours work, can be added to create a complete, end-to-end relocation package.

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

A man-and-van service is generally designed for simple, low-risk moves and often relies on you to organise packing, planning and insurance. A professional office removals service, by contrast, provides structured planning, experienced crews, appropriate insurance, proper packing materials, and coordination with building management and your internal teams. We understand how to protect IT equipment, follow data handling requirements, and minimise disruption to your staff. For most businesses, the reduced downtime and lower risk of damage easily justify the difference in approach.

How far in advance should I book my office removal?

Ideally, you should contact us 4–8 weeks before your planned move date, especially if you have a larger office or specific timing requirements such as weekend-only access. This allows time for surveys, building management approvals, parking arrangements and crate deliveries. However, we understand that business decisions and lease dates do not always allow for long lead times, so we will always try to help on shorter notice. The earlier we are involved, the more options we have to plan an efficient, low-disruption move for your team.
