Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

Everything starts with a clear, no-obligation quote. You can contact Man with Van St Johns by phone, email or online form. We will ask about your current and new addresses, access details, rough inventory, preferred moving dates and any special requirements such as out-of-hours working or IT relocation.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office moves we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volumes, parking, lift access, staircases and any dismantling needed. A good survey means fewer surprises on moving day and a more accurate, transparent price. For smaller moves, photos or a video call are often sufficient.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – we bring crates or boxes, pack documents, IT and contents systematically, label everything and provide crate labels or inventories.
• Part-packing – we handle fragile or high-value items such as monitors, glass and IT; your staff pack personal effects and non-fragile contents.
• Self-packing – you pack everything; we supply boxes or crates if required and advise on best practice.

We use high-quality packing materials and protect furniture with pads, blankets and wrapping to prevent damage.

4. Loading & Transport

On the agreed day, our trained moving teams arrive on time, protect floors and communal areas as needed, and begin systematic loading. We use sack trucks, skates and ramps to move items safely. Vehicles are loaded securely to prevent movement in transit, and all goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance. Routes are planned in advance to avoid unnecessary delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new premises, we unload in line with your floor plan so that departments, desks and equipment end up in the right locations. We can re-assemble standard office furniture and position items so your teams can get back to work quickly. We remove our packaging materials, and can return to collect crates once you have unpacked.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Office removals are usually priced based on a combination of:

• Volume of items and number of workstations
• Distance between properties
• Access at each site (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Level of packing service and materials
• Out-of-hours or weekend working, if needed

Your written quote will set out what is included, any optional extras and how long the move is expected to take. There are no hidden extras, and any potential additional charges (for example, for unexpected extra items) will be explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Moving an office is more complex than shifting a few boxes. With a professional, fully insured removals service you benefit from:

• Reduced risk of damage to IT equipment, furniture and the building
• Less downtime, as moves are planned and executed efficiently
• Compliance with health & safety and building rules
• Appropriate insurance protection if something does go wrong
• Experienced staff who can dismantle, move and reassemble furniture safely

DIY or casual man‑and‑van options often lack adequate insurance, trained staff and the capacity to manage larger or time-sensitive office moves. For business-critical relocations, a structured service is the safer choice.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Man with Van St Johns operates to professional standards expected of a serious removals company:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your office contents while they are being moved.
• Public liability insurance in case there is accidental damage to the building or third-party property.
• Trained moving teams experienced in office environments, manual handling and safe loading.

We can work alongside your IT provider, facilities team or building management to ensure all risks are considered and controlled.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your office equipment and premises with care. Floors, walls and doors can be protected with covers where needed, and fragile items are wrapped and secured. Our crews are trained to lift safely, use the right equipment and avoid unnecessary risks.

We also take a practical, sustainable approach. Reusable crates are encouraged for many office moves, reducing cardboard waste. Where possible, we recycle or responsibly dispose of unwanted furniture and equipment, and plan journeys efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage.

Real-World Office Removal Use Cases

• Moving house with a home office – We relocate your household contents plus your office setup, ensuring PCs, monitors and files arrive intact and are clearly labelled for quick re-connection.
• Office relocation – From small agencies to growing firms, we move entire offices within St Johns or to new locations, often overnight or at weekends to reduce business disruption.
• Urgent or short-notice moves – When leases change unexpectedly or urgent dilapidation works are required, we do our best to accommodate short-notice office removals, subject to availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office removal in St Johns cost?

The cost of an office removal in St Johns depends mainly on the size of your office, the amount of furniture and equipment, access at each building and the distance between locations. Smaller office moves may be charged on a fixed price or part‑day rate, while larger relocations are usually priced after a survey. Additional services such as full packing, crate hire and out‑of‑hours work will affect the price. We always provide a clear, itemised quotation in writing before you decide to go ahead.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We can often help with same‑day or urgent office removals, especially for smaller spaces or partial moves, but it does depend on our schedule and vehicle availability. If you have a short‑notice requirement, contact us as early in the day as possible and give us as much detail as you can. We will quickly assess what’s involved and confirm whether we can accommodate you that day or suggest the earliest realistic alternative. Even for urgent moves, we still work to a clear plan so your business isn’t placed at unnecessary risk.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

Your office contents are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved, and we also carry public liability insurance for incidents affecting buildings or third parties. This is not a substitute for your own business insurance, but it adds an important layer of protection. Details of cover limits and any exclusions are available on request and can be provided with your quotation. For very high‑value or specialist items, we may recommend that you also speak with your insurer to confirm any additional requirements.

What’s included in your office removals service?

Our standard office removals service includes professional loading, transport and unloading of agreed items between addresses, plus basic protection such as furniture blankets and securing equipment in the vehicle. At your request we can add packing, supply of crates or boxes, dismantling and reassembly of standard office furniture, and removal of used packaging. We liaise with building management where needed and work to your floor plans. What is included for your move will always be set out clearly in the written quotation so you know exactly what to expect.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While a casual man‑and‑van can work for very small, simple jobs, our office removals service is structured around planning, protection and reliability. We provide trained staff, appropriate insurance, suitable vehicles and proper packing materials. We carry out surveys, coordinate access and take responsibility for completing the move as agreed. For businesses, this greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays and disruption. In short, you are hiring an organised removals team rather than just a vehicle and driver, which is particularly important for office and commercial relocations.

How far in advance should I book an office removal?

For most office moves, booking 3–4 weeks in advance is sensible, especially if you need a specific date, weekend slot or have a larger team to move. This allows time for surveys, crate delivery, packing and coordination with your building management and IT providers. However, we understand that leases and circumstances don’t always allow long lead times. We frequently accommodate moves booked with a week or less notice, subject to availability. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer and the easier it is to plan a smooth relocation.
