Local Expertise in Kennington
Working daily in and around Kennington gives us a strong understanding of local routes, building layouts, access restrictions, and parking rules. We regularly move offices in commercial blocks, converted townhouses, co-working spaces, and retail units. This local knowledge helps us to:

Because we know the area well, we can give honest guidance on how long your move is likely to take and how best to stage it to reduce disruption.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your move details – current and new addresses, approximate size of your office, desired dates, and any time constraints. Based on this, we provide an initial indication of cost and availability. For straightforward smaller moves we can sometimes quote directly from your information and photos.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most office moves, we arrange a no-obligation survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We assess:
- Volume and type of items to be moved
- Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, loading bays, parking)
- IT equipment, filing systems, and any special handling needs
- Required schedule, including any out-of-hours work
Following the survey, you receive a clear, written quote and move plan.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can either provide a full packing service or supply materials so your team can pack. Options include:
- Strong crates or cartons for files, equipment, and personal items
- Anti-static and protective wrapping for IT equipment
- Labels and a clear numbering system for easy unpacking
We agree in advance what you’ll pack and what we’ll pack, so responsibilities are clear. If required, we can also dismantle and reassemble standard office furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day we arrive promptly with the agreed crew size and vehicles. We protect key areas such as doorways, floors, and lifts before loading. Items are loaded systematically in line with your floor plan and priority needs. Our vehicles are equipped with ties, blankets, and protective equipment to keep everything secure during transit.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new premises we unload directly into the correct rooms or departments, following the pre-agreed layout. We position desks, cabinets, and equipment so your team can get working again quickly. Once unloading is complete, we walk through with you to confirm everything is in place and note any additional adjustments you need.
Transparent Pricing for Office Removals
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. The cost of your office move is usually based on:
- Volume of furniture and equipment
- Distance between addresses
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Level of packing service and materials
- Access issues, stairs, or limited parking
- Out-of-hours or weekend working, if requested
Your written quote will clearly state what is included, any optional services, and how overtime or unexpected delays are handled. If the scope of the move changes, we will discuss and agree any price change before proceeding.
Why Use Professional Office Removers Instead of DIY or Man-and-Van
Attempting an office move with internal staff or a casual man-and-van may appear cheaper, but it often costs more in lost time, disruption, and risk. With Kennington Movers you benefit from:
- Experienced, trained teams used to handling office furniture and IT equipment
- Efficient planning that reduces downtime for your business
- Appropriate vehicles and equipment for safe handling
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Clear responsibility and accountability throughout the move
A professional office removal service helps you protect staff, equipment, and continuity of service to your own clients.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We understand that you’re trusting us with critical assets and information. Kennington Movers operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our care
- Public liability insurance for work carried out at your premises and common areas
- Trained moving teams who follow safe handling and lifting practices
- Clear, written terms and conditions outlining cover and responsibilities
We’ll explain exactly what is covered and where additional specialist insurance might be advisable for unusually high-value or sensitive equipment.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
We take a careful, practical approach to protecting both your items and your buildings:
- Protective coverings for doors, bannisters, and lifts where required
- Use of blankets, wrap, and strapping to prevent damage in transit
- Sensible loading practices to avoid over-stacking or crushing items
We also work towards more sustainable moves by:
- Using reusable crates where possible
- Recycling or reusing packing materials when appropriate
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
Real-World Office Removals Use Cases
Moving to a Larger Office
Growing businesses often outgrow their existing space. We regularly help companies relocate from small serviced offices into larger self-contained premises, carefully phasing the move so teams can remain operational.
Internal Reorganisation
Sometimes you don’t need to move address at all; you just need to reconfigure space. We can move departments between floors, re-position meeting rooms, or rearrange furniture for refurbishments or new layouts.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Lease changes, building issues, or unexpected growth can require rapid relocation. Where our schedule allows, we provide urgent office removals in Kennington, including evening or weekend work, to help you meet tight deadlines with minimal interruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Kennington cost?
The cost depends on the size of your office, the volume of items, access at both sites, distance travelled, and the level of packing support you choose. Smaller office moves within Kennington may be charged on a set day rate, while larger, multi-day relocations are priced individually after a survey. We’ll provide a clear, written quote outlining exactly what’s included, any optional extras, and how overtime is handled. There are no hidden charges: if the scope changes, we’ll discuss any cost difference with you before we proceed.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can support same-day or short-notice office moves in Kennington and surrounding areas. Availability will depend on crew and vehicle capacity, as well as the scale of your move. For urgent relocations we focus on the essentials: moving key staff areas, IT equipment, and vital files first, then scheduling any non-critical items for a follow-up visit if required. Contact us as soon as possible with your details so we can confirm what’s feasible and provide realistic timelines.
What insurance cover do you provide for office moves?
We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they’re being moved, and public liability cover for work carried out in and around your buildings. This is designed to give sensible protection for typical office furniture, equipment, and contents. We’ll explain the limits and conditions of our cover in writing, so you can decide if any additional insurance is needed for unusually high-value or specialist items. Our aim is to be transparent so you understand exactly how your belongings are protected throughout the move.
What’s included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes a pre-move assessment, provision of a written quote, loading and unloading of your office furniture and equipment, protection for key areas where needed, and transport between the two locations. We place items into the correct rooms at your new premises, following your floor plan. Optional extras include packing and unpacking, crate hire, furniture disassembly/reassembly, and out-of-hours working. All inclusions and options are clearly listed in your quotation so you know exactly what to expect on move day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A professional removals service like Kennington Movers offers trained staff, suitable vehicles, planning support, and formal insurance, which you often don’t get with a casual man-and-van. We carry out surveys, provide written quotes and schedules, protect your buildings, and follow structured loading methods. This reduces the risk of damage, delays, and confusion on the day. For businesses, the added reliability and reduced downtime usually outweigh the small difference in up-front cost, particularly when you factor in staff time and continuity of service.
How far in advance should I book my office removal?
For most office moves we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, particularly if you need a specific date, out-of-hours work, or coordination with fit-out contractors and IT providers. This gives us time to survey both sites, finalise floor plans, and organise packing. That said, we understand that circumstances change quickly; if you’re working to a shorter timescale, contact us as soon as possible. We’ll be honest about our availability and do our best to accommodate your move.
