Items We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

Our team regularly handles:

• Office desks, chairs and meeting room furniture
• Filing cabinets, pedestals and shelving units
• Desktop computers, monitors, printers and scanners
• Servers, network equipment (when safely disconnected)
• Office kitchen appliances such as kettles, microwaves and small fridges

• High-value safes above certain weight limits

If you have unusual, heavy or high-value items, we can often still help, but we will discuss this during the survey so the correct equipment and insurance can be put in place.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

It starts with a conversation. You tell us about your current office, your new location, and your preferred moving dates. We will ask about access, floors, lifts, parking, and any time restrictions. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras, outlining exactly what is included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most office moves we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or onsite, depending on the size and complexity of the move. We assess quantity of furniture, IT equipment, filing, and any special items. The survey allows us to plan the right vehicle size, number of movers, and estimated timings so move day runs smoothly.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer two levels of packing support:

• Self-packing – You pack your own files, IT and small items. We can supply boxes, crates and labels in advance.
• Full packing service – Our trained team carefully packs files, equipment and general office contents, labelling everything by department or room for easy unpacking.

We can also dismantle and reassemble standard office desks and furniture where required.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our professional team arrives on time with the agreed vehicle(s). We protect your premises with floor coverings and use padded covers for furniture. All items are securely loaded, strapped, and protected for transport. Our vehicles are purpose-equipped for removals, and your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance during the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload in a structured way, placing desks, chairs and equipment in the rooms or departments you specify. We can work to your floor plan where provided. If agreed in advance, we can reassemble desks, reconnect basic IT set-ups (physical placement only) and remove used packing materials for recycling.

Transparent Pricing for Office Removals in Cranford

We aim to keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Office removals are usually priced based on:

• Volume of items and number of workstations
• Distance between locations
• Access (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking restrictions)
• Required manpower and vehicles
• Optional services such as packing and furniture assembly

You will receive a clear written quote before booking, so you know exactly what you are paying for. We do not add surprise charges on the day; any potential extras (for example, additional stops) will be discussed and agreed with you in advance wherever possible.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Trying to move an office with borrowed vans and untrained helpers often leads to stress, delays and damage. A professional office removals service offers:

• Trained staff who know how to handle IT equipment and furniture safely
• Correct equipment for heavy and bulky items
• Efficient loading and unloading to minimise downtime
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Structured planning so staff can resume work quickly

Using an insured, established removals company like Man With a Van Cranford reduces risks to your staff, your landlord's property, and your business assets.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your business assets are valuable, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your items while they are in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – for your peace of mind while we are working on your premises.
• Trained moving teams – experienced staff who follow safe lifting and handling practices.

We operate to professional standards in terms of punctuality, communication and care of property. Risk assessments and method statements can be provided for larger or more complex moves on request.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

We handle your office contents as if they were our own. That means:

• Using padded covers for desks, chairs and fragile items
• Wrapping IT equipment and screens securely
• Protecting floors, lifts and walls in both old and new premises

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:

• Reuse durable crates and protective materials
• Recycle cardboard and packaging after moves
• Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

• Moving to a larger office – when your team grows, we help you relocate with minimal disruption.
• Downsizing or hybrid working – clearing surplus furniture and setting up smaller, more flexible spaces.
• Internal reorganisation – moving departments between floors or reshaping your layout.
• Urgent or last-minute moves – end of leases, landlord changes, or emergency relocations where prompt action is essential.

Whatever your situation, we will work with you to find a practical, safe and cost-effective plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Cranford cost?

The cost depends on the size of your office, the amount of furniture and IT equipment, access at each property, and the distance between locations. Smaller office moves within Cranford may be priced on a half-day or day-rate basis, while larger relocations are quoted individually after a survey. We provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit, so you know exactly what is included. To get an accurate price, contact us with details of your current office, new address, and your preferred moving dates.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can help with same-day or short-notice office removals in Cranford. Availability will depend on vehicle and crew scheduling, and urgent moves may be more limited in terms of start times and optional services. If you need an urgent move, call us as soon as possible with your location, destination, and a rough idea of what needs moving. We will be honest about what we can realistically achieve on the day and offer the most practical solution.

Are my office items insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work on your premises. This provides protection against most typical risks during a normal office move. During your enquiry or survey, we will explain the key points of our cover and any limits or exclusions. If you have particularly high-value items or specialist equipment, please tell us in advance so we can confirm the appropriate arrangements.

What is included in an office removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your agreed office contents between addresses, plus basic protection for furniture and equipment. Many clients also choose optional extras such as packing, supply of crates and boxes, dismantling and reassembling desks, and removing used packing materials. Your written quote will set out precisely what is included, so there is no confusion on the day. If you need additional services, like out-of-hours working or multiple drops, we can build these into your plan.

What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service often focuses on transport only, with limited planning, equipment or insurance. Our office removals service is designed specifically for business moves. We provide trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective materials, and documented insurance. We also carry out surveys for larger moves, liaise with building management where needed, and plan to reduce downtime for your staff. In short, you are paying not just for a van, but for experience, organisation and accountability.

How far in advance should I book my office move?

For most office relocations, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend move. This gives time for surveys, planning and packing. However, we understand that business situations change quickly, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates, timings and additional services such as full packing or phased moves.
