Professional Office Removals in Hampstead
Office relocations are very different from domestic moves. You may be dealing with server rooms, secure documents, specialist equipment and staff who need to be up and running the next working day. We plan your move around your operational needs, whether that means evenings, weekends or phased moves over several days.
Our professional office removals service covers everything from initial planning and packing through to setting furniture back up in your new premises. We work closely with your facilities, IT and management teams so nothing is left to chance.

Our local knowledge helps with:
- Arranging suitable parking and access for larger vehicles

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You can contact us by phone, email or through our website to outline your move. We’ll ask about your current and new addresses, access, approximate number of staff or workstations and your preferred dates. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate and recommend the most suitable approach.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For office moves, a survey is essential. We offer onsite surveys in Hampstead and surrounding areas, or virtual video surveys where appropriate. During the survey we assess furniture volumes, IT equipment, stairs or lifts, parking options and any special handling requirements. This allows us to provide a clear, written quote and plan the right size team and vehicles.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can supply crates or cartons in advance so your staff can pack their own desks, or we can provide a full packing service using our trained crews. Items are labelled by department or location to make unloading straightforward. We protect delicate equipment and ensure key documents remain clearly identified. If required, we can dismantle larger desks and furniture to aid safe transport.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained team arrives promptly, carries out a brief walk-through with your representative and then begins loading in a logical, pre-agreed order. We use trolleys, skates and protective materials to safeguard both your belongings and the building fabric. Everything is securely loaded into our vehicles, which are equipped for commercial moves.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new premises, items are unloaded and placed according to your floor plan or team instructions. We reassemble dismantled furniture and position workstations so your staff can settle in quickly. Before we leave, we complete a final check with you to confirm rooms and departments are set up as agreed.
Transparent Pricing for Office Removals
Office removal costs depend on a number of factors, including:
- Overall volume of furniture, equipment and boxes
- Number of workstations and departments
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distances to vehicle)
- Distance between locations
- Whether packing and unpacking services are required
- Out-of-hours or weekend working
We provide a clear written quotation with no hidden charges. Any potential extras (for example, additional packing materials or extended hours) are discussed in advance so you remain in control of your budget.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van
Attempting an office move with untrained staff or a casual man-and-van service often leads to disruption, damage and unexpected costs. Professional office removals offer:
- Proper planning – A structured timetable and clear responsibilities.
- Protection and safety – Correct lifting techniques and equipment minimise risk of injury and damage.
- Reduced downtime – Experienced teams work efficiently, allowing you to resume operations sooner.
- Accountability – Written quotes, agreed terms and fully insured services.
With Hampstead Movers, you are working with a professional company that understands commercial priorities and treats your business as if it were our own.

Your office contents are valuable, both financially and operationally. Our services are backed by:
- Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your items while they are being transported in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff are experienced, uniformed and trained in safe handling of office furniture and equipment.
We are committed to working to recognised industry standards, undertaking risk assessments where necessary and following building rules and regulations at all times.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your items and the environments we work in. This includes:
- Using floor, door and lift protection where required
- Careful wrapping of delicate and high-value items
- Working considerately in shared buildings and residential areas
- Re-using durable crates and materials where possible to reduce waste
- Recycling packaging at the end of moves where practical
Our aim is to complete your move with as little disruption and environmental impact as reasonably possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Hampstead typically cost?
The cost of an office removal varies depending on the size of your business, the quantity of furniture and equipment, access at both locations and the distance between them. As a rough guide, small office moves may be completed in a single day with one or two vehicles, while larger relocations require more crew and time. After a survey, we provide a detailed, fixed quotation outlining exactly what is included, so you can budget with confidence and avoid unexpected extras.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate urgent or short-notice office moves in Hampstead and nearby areas. The more flexibility you have on timing and scope, the easier it is for us to fit you in. For critical situations, we prioritise securing access, allocating enough staff and agreeing clear priorities so essential departments or workstations are operational first. Contact us as soon as possible to discuss your situation and we’ll advise honestly on what is achievable.
What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?
We provide goods in transit insurance for items being transported in our vehicles and public liability cover while we are working on your premises. This offers reassurance that, in the unlikely event of accidental loss or damage, there is protection in place. For particularly high-value items or specialist equipment, we recommend checking your own business insurance as well, and informing us in advance so we can take any additional precautions required and confirm appropriate cover arrangements.
What is included in your office removals service as standard?
As standard, our service includes a survey, planning support, provision of vehicles and trained movers, loading, transport and unloading of your office contents. We dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture where required and place items in their new locations according to your instructions or floor plan. We also supply basic protective materials to safeguard furniture and property. Optional extras include packing and unpacking services, crate hire and out-of-hours working, which we are happy to build into your quotation if needed.
How is a professional office removal different from a man-and-van service?
A casual man-and-van service is generally designed for small, simple moves and may not offer planning, insurance or the staffing levels needed for a business relocation. A professional office removals service like ours provides structured surveys, written quotations, appropriate insurance, trained crews and the right equipment. We aim to minimise downtime, protect your IT and furniture, coordinate with building management and follow agreed timelines. For a business, this added reliability and accountability usually far outweighs any apparent short-term saving.
How far in advance should we book our office move?
For most office moves, we recommend booking at least three to four weeks in advance, particularly if you require weekend or evening work or are moving at busy times of year. This allows time for surveys, planning, crate delivery and staff communication. However, we understand that business circumstances can change quickly. If your move is sooner, contact us and we will always do our best to help, advising on realistic options and any ways to streamline the process within your timeframe.
