Office moves planned around your business.
Anthony Ward Thomas provides office removals in London for small teams and larger business relocations. We plan the move around your furniture, files and equipment, building access and target dates. Packing, storage and out-of-hours arrangements can be discussed during the survey and included in your quotation.
Simplicity & Clarity
Your move has a team leader as the point of contact for practical arrangements. Agree the schedule, destination layout and responsibilities before the move, and share any changes to keys, access or building availability promptly.
IT Migration
IT equipment needs clear responsibilities and careful handling. We agree the move plan in advance and coordinate with your IT team or specialist provider so computers and associated equipment are protected, labelled and positioned at the new office. Any disconnection, reconnection or testing responsibilities should be confirmed before moving day.
Small Office Removals
A smaller office still needs a clear plan. List desks, chairs, storage units, files and equipment, including items that need dismantling or special handling. Label everything for the destination room and agree who will meet the crew at each premises.
The Right Time
Evening, overnight or weekend moves can be discussed where they help reduce disruption. Availability, building permissions and the scope of the work need to be agreed first. Plan time for your own team or IT provider to test systems before staff return.
Business Storage
If the new premises are not ready for everything, discuss business storage for furniture, equipment or records. Agree the inventory, any specific storage requirements, access arrangements and charges, and the schedule for return delivery.
How Our Office Moves Work
Every office relocation is planned around your premises, working hours, access arrangements and target move date.
- Survey and brief. We discuss the size of the move, both locations, access, parking, lifts, important equipment and any packing or storage requirements.
- A practical move plan. We agree the schedule, responsibilities, crew and vehicles. Where appropriate, the move can be phased or arranged overnight or at the weekend.
- Packing and labelling. Packing requirements are agreed during the survey. Furniture, files and equipment can be clearly labelled so they reach the correct place at the new office.
- IT coordination. We agree responsibilities in advance and coordinate with your IT team or provider so equipment can be protected, labelled and positioned at the destination.
- Delivery and placement. Items are moved into the agreed rooms or work areas, helping your team resume work with as little disruption as possible.
Our office move checklist covers the decisions and preparations that make a business relocation easier to manage.
What to include in your office removals brief
- Collection and delivery addresses, floor levels and the approximate volume of furniture, files and equipment.
- Moving dates, working-hour restrictions and any phased move or temporary storage needed.
- Loading arrangements, lift dimensions and bookings, building contacts and crew access requirements.
- Items requiring packing or dismantling, and who will disconnect, reconnect and test IT equipment.
- A destination floor plan and a named contact who can confirm furniture placement.

Office Removals: Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should we arrange an office move?
Contact us as early as possible, particularly for a large, phased or out-of-hours relocation. We can also assess shorter-notice moves according to availability and complexity.
Can you move an office outside normal working hours?
Yes. Evening, overnight and weekend moves can be planned where this helps reduce disruption to your staff and customers.
Can packing be included?
Packing and labelling requirements can be discussed during the survey and included in the quotation. This may cover office furniture, files and equipment.
What happens to computers and other IT equipment?
Handling, labelling and positioning can be built into the move plan. We coordinate responsibilities with your own IT team or specialist provider before moving day.
Can office furniture or records be stored between premises?
Yes. Our business storage can be included when lease dates overlap or the new premises are not ready for every item.
What affects the cost of an office move?
The quotation reflects the volume of items, access at both sites, distance, timing, packing requirements, specialist handling and any storage needed.
