One note on how office pricing works here: office moves are confirmed as per-job written quotes, because buildings, lifts and move windows differ too much for a single fixed price. The card maths on this page illustrates small offices, so you can check the quote you receive against the published rates it was built from.
A cheap office move in London starts at £255: five desks and a meeting table with 2 Men for 3 to 4 hours, on a published card of Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100, with a 2-hour minimum. Office moves are confirmed as per-job written quotes, and evenings and weekends cost the same as weekday hours. The total comes down by clearing surplus first, phasing the move, and right-sizing the crew. No deposit; free cancellation up to 24 hours before. For a full office relocation service rather than the budget route, see office removals.
Real totals for the office jobs small firms actually book, worked from the published card. Read the crew column as carefully as the total: a 3 Men crew at £100 per hour that finishes an hour sooner can cost less overall than 2 Men at £85 per hour working longer. The cheapest hour is not always the cheapest move.
| Job | Crew | Time | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 desks and a meeting table | 2 Men | 3 to 4 hours | £255 to £340 |
| 10 desks, same building move | 2 Men | 5 to 6 hours | £425 to £510 |
| 10 desks, a shorter window with a bigger crew | 3 Men | 4 to 5 hours | £400 to £500 |
| 20 desks over one evening | 3 Men | 7 to 8 hours | £700 to £800 |
| Archive boxes and surplus furniture run only | Driver Help | 2 hours (minimum) | £140 |
Basis: worked from our published hourly card (Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100 per hour, 2-hour minimum). Office moves are confirmed as per-job written quotes, and your written quote confirms the total for your job before you book. Included beside every price: loading, unloading and carrying at both ends, blankets, wrap and straps, dismantling and reassembly where booked, packing into the crates you hire, fuel and mileage within London, and placing to your floor plan. Add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs (lift-served floors are not charged): tell us the floors and the lift arrangements when you ask for a quote and the charge is in the quote, not a surprise on the day.
The biggest cost in most office moves is not the removals bill. It is the day the office cannot work. Moving in the evening or at the weekend removes that cost entirely, and on our card it does not add a penny to the rate: evenings and weekends are charged at the same published prices as weekday hours, with no uplift.
Be clear about where the saving sits. It is downtime avoided, not a discount: the same crew, the same hours and the same total, worked at a time when your team is not trying to answer phones around a dismantled desk. Your staff leave one office on Friday and sit down in the new one on Monday.
There is a second, quieter saving. Out of hours, the goods lift and the loading bay are free of the daytime queue: no waiting behind deliveries, no lift shared with three other floors, and no concierge clock-watching a slot that every tenant wants at 9am. The hours you buy go on the move itself.
Best for small floors and same-building moves. Desks are dismantled as your team finishes for the day, and the new floor is set up to plan before the morning.
Best where the building allows weekend access and the lift can be booked for a long slot. Twenty desks over a single evening or a Saturday is ordinary work on the 3 Men card.
Landlords set the rules: move windows, lift bookings, loading bay slots, and any notice period. Get those confirmed first, and the quote is built around the slot you can actually have.
A move does not have to happen in one long day. Phasing splits the office into stages across two evenings, or more if the floor needs it: one team or one half of the floor moves first, is set up and working, and the rest follows on the next evening. The office keeps trading throughout, which is the whole point.
Each phase is priced on the same published card and confirmed in the written quote, phase by phase, so you can see exactly what each evening costs before you commit to the sequence. Phasing suits offices that cannot close, offices waiting on a new floor to be finished in stages, and moves where the lift can only be booked in short slots.
The discipline that makes phasing work is labelling. Every crate, desk and monitor is labelled to its phase and its new position, your IT team works to the same plan, and nothing travels in the wrong phase. Tell us which desks must be working each morning and the phases are built around that, not around what is easiest to carry.
Every office has them: desks and chairs nobody has sat at for a year, a meeting table too big for the new room, archive boxes for records nobody opens. Moving them is hours bought for nothing, at £85 or £100 an hour, and then they take up the same space in the new office. The cheapest part of any office move is the sort-out that happens before it.
Decide the destination for each surplus piece before the move, and the run can even be done as its own short job: the archive and surplus run in the table above is £140 on the 2-hour minimum with Driver Help. In practice, surplus splits four ways:
Pieces carried to the new office and placed to the floor plan, like any other part of the move. If it earns its desk space, it travels.
Delivery to a charity you name, if it agrees to accept the pieces. Agree the list with the charity first and the run is planned around its receiving hours.
Transport to a storage unit you rent in your own name. We load it and stack it; the rent, the access and the terms stay between you and the operator.
Your council’s bulky collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint. We are not a licensed waste carrier, so the disposal itself is never in our van.
One honesty point on the disposal route: we are not a licensed waste carrier, so we cannot take surplus away for disposal or recycling, and any carrier you appoint can be checked free on the Environment Agency public register before you use them. Sorting first, then moving only what earns its place, is how a twenty-desk quote becomes a ten-desk one.
The IT boundary, once more, because it matters on the day: your IT team disconnects, reconnects and tests. We pack, label, carry, transport and place to plan, with monitors wrapped and each desk’s kit kept together. There is no de-racking or re-racking and no data wiping on our side of the line, on any quote, at any price.
Four steps, planned around your building’s rules and your trading hours.
The desk count, the meeting tables, the IT plan, the floors and lifts, and your building’s rules on move windows, goods lifts and loading bays. Photos of the floor and the tight turns help more than any description.
The quote comes back in writing with the crew, the move window or the phases, and the total for the job. It is valid for 7 days, and booking takes no deposit.
Desks and tables are dismantled where booked, monitors and kit are packed into your crates and labelled, and everything is wrapped, carried and loaded in the order the new floor needs it.
Furniture is placed to your floor plan, rebuilt where booked, and the kit is set out desk by desk for your IT team to reconnect. Everything is checked off with you before we leave. Payment is at the time of service.
| Point of comparison | The typical way | With Vano Removals |
|---|---|---|
| The price | A day rate or a project price with the workings hidden, so you cannot tell what an extra hour or an extra desk costs | A published hourly card behind every per-job written quote, so the total can be checked against the rates it was built from |
| Out of hours | Evening and weekend working priced as a premium, often the single biggest line on the quote | The same published card in the evenings and at weekends, with no uplift: the saving is the downtime you avoid |
| Who carries | At the budget end, office staff end up carrying boxes and chairs while the crew handles the heavy items only | Our crew loads, unloads and carries at every tier, including Driver Help |
| Surplus furniture | Everything is moved because nobody sorted it, and the new office opens already full of furniture nobody needs | The surplus is sorted first, into move, donate, storage transport or your own disposal route, before it costs you hours |
| IT on the day | Vague promises about reconnecting everything, discovered to mean something narrower once the desks are apart | The boundary is stated before you book: your IT team disconnects, reconnects and tests; we pack, label, carry, transport and place to plan |
| Deposit and cancellation | A deposit to secure the date is common, and cancellation terms vary widely | No deposit to book; free cancellation up to 24 hours before |

“Best house removal company around. The team at Vano Removals was punctual, hard-working, and handled our furniture with great care. If you need reliable, stress-free local movers or packing services, I highly recommend them.”
“Vano Removals moved our 2-bed flat from Croydon to Sutton last week. The two-man crew arrived on time, wrapped the sofa and TV properly, and finished quicker than I expected. Nothing was damaged. Booking was simple and the final price matched the written quote. Would use them again.”

07459 180023Office moves are confirmed as per-job written quotes, and the maths behind them is our published hourly card: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour, 3 Men £100 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum on every booking. To illustrate a small office: five desks and a meeting table with 2 Men for 3 to 4 hours is £255 to £340, ten desks within the same building with 2 Men for 5 to 6 hours is £425 to £510, and twenty desks over one evening with 3 Men for 7 to 8 hours is £700 to £800. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, and lift-served floors are not charged. Your written quote confirms the total for your office before you book, and there is no deposit.
By cutting hours, not care. Clear the surplus first, because every desk and chair nobody needs is time bought for nothing. Right-size the crew: a 3 Men crew at £100 per hour can finish sooner and cost less in total than 2 Men at £85 per hour working longer, because the cheapest hour is not always the cheapest move. Move when the office is closed, phase the job across evenings if that keeps the business trading, and have everything packed, labelled and staged before the clock starts. Protection is never the saving: desks, monitors and meeting tables are wrapped and strapped on every job, whatever the total.
No. Evenings and weekends are charged on the same published card, with no weekend uplift and no out-of-hours surcharge: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour, 3 Men £100 per hour. The saving from moving when the office is closed is the downtime you avoid, not a discount on the rate. Your per-job written quote states the window and the total before you book.
Yes. A phased move splits the office into stages, for example half the desks on the first evening and the rest on the second, so the office keeps trading in between. Each phase is priced on the same published card and confirmed in the written quote, phase by phase, so you can see what each evening costs before you commit to the sequence. Tell us which teams or desks have to be working each morning and the phases are planned around that.
Your own IT team, or the IT support you appoint. They disconnect, reconnect and test your systems. We pack, label, carry, transport and place the equipment to your plan, so each desk gets its own kit back in the right position. We do not de-rack or re-rack servers and we do not wipe data. Agree the labelling scheme with your IT team before the move window and tell us the plan when you ask for the quote, so the placing follows it exactly.
No. Vano Removals has no crate product. We pack into crates that you hire from a crate hire company, and we are happy to work with the standard sizes those companies supply. Tell us how many crates you have hired and when they arrive when you ask for the quote, so the packing time is allowed for in the total. Files and desk contents you pack yourselves can also travel in your own boxes: if you need materials from us, boxes are £5 each, protective wrap £15 and tape £10 per roll.
You choose the destination for each piece before the move, and there are four honest routes. Keep and move it to the new office. Give it to a charity you name, provided the charity agrees to accept it. Send it to storage, as transport only: you rent the unit in your own name and we load it and stack it. Or dispose of it through your own arrangements, using your council’s bulky collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint, because we are not a licensed waste carrier and cannot take furniture away for disposal. Any carrier can be checked free on the Environment Agency public register before you appoint one.
Enough for your building as much as for us. Landlords and building managers often need notice for a move, goods lifts and loading bays are booked in slots, and some buildings only allow removals outside working hours. Get the building rules, the lift booking and the loading arrangements confirmed first, then ask us for the quote: quotes are valid for 7 days, and there is no deposit to book once you accept. Small offices on a simple floor can be turned around quickly, but a move that needs a booked lift should be planned around the slot, not the other way round.
They are part of the plan, agreed before the move window. Where your building has a loading bay or a goods lift, we work to the slot you book. Where the van has to stand on the street, a borough parking suspension or dispensation may be needed, and the fee and the notice period are the borough’s. Parking charges, and any road charges that apply to your job, are confirmed in your written quote. For reference, the Congestion Charge is £18 per day from 2 January 2026 and the ULEZ charge is £12.50 per day: neither is stated as included or excluded anywhere else, only confirmed in the quote for your job.
No deposit to book. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the move; inside 24 hours, a cancellation charge of up to 25 percent of the quoted price applies. Quotes are valid for 7 days. Payment is at the time of service. The terms for your job are stated on your per-job written quote, alongside the crew, the move window and the total.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
