Your Office Move, Planned Around Your Schedule
Out-of-Hours Moves
We work evenings, weekends, and overnight so your team arrives Monday morning to a fully set-up office — not boxes in a corridor.
Minimal Business Downtime
Every move is planned room by room before the day. Clear labelling, the right crew size, and a schedule your office manager can follow.
IT Equipment Handled Carefully
Monitors, servers, and peripherals packed properly — no tangled cables, no stacked screens. Everything arrives at the right desk, labelled and ready for your IT team.
Fixed Quote, No Surprises
We scope the job properly before quoting. What you're told upfront is what you pay — no additions on the day because the lift was slower than expected.
Office Removals London
Every hour your office is mid-move is an hour your team can’t work properly. That’s the reality that shapes how we plan and run commercial relocations — minimising your downtime isn’t a selling point, it’s the entire point.
Apex Moves handles office removals across London for businesses of all sizes, from a small team of eight moving across the borough to a mid-sized company relocating its entire operation from Canary Wharf to the City. We plan around your schedule, not ours.
What’s Included in Our Office Removal Service
Pre-Move Planning
A successful office move begins with getting the details right before anyone picks up a box. We’ll work through access at both sites, floor plans if available, any restrictions on building entry or goods lifts, and IT disconnect/reconnect sequencing. The more we know upfront, the less that can go wrong on the day.
Out-of-Hours and Weekend Moves
Most of our commercial clients move on Fridays, Saturdays, or overnight Thursday-to-Friday. This gives the team a weekend to set up before Monday morning. We operate outside standard business hours as standard for commercial work — not as an exception that costs extra, but as the expected approach.
Furniture and Equipment
Desks, chairs, pedestals, filing cabinets, monitors, printers, and office fit-out equipment. We label, catalogue, and pack items to match your floor plan at the destination — so your team doesn’t arrive on Monday to find everything piled in the wrong room.
IT Equipment Handling
Monitors, servers, networking equipment, and other IT hardware require careful handling. We pack IT equipment properly — no tangled cables, no stacked monitors. We don’t reconnect your infrastructure (that’s your IT team’s job), but we’ll make sure everything arrives in the right place, protected and clearly labelled.
Crates and Packing Materials
We supply plastic crates for the move — far more practical than cardboard boxes for an office environment, and more secure for heavy archive files. Crates are delivered before the move so your team can pack at their own pace, then collected afterwards.
Archive and Document Moving
Confidential documents and filing systems need to move securely. We handle archive boxes and document storage units with care, and can advise on sequencing if your filing system needs to stay organised throughout the process.
How We Minimise Your Business Downtime
The businesses that experience the smoothest office moves are the ones that plan them properly. Here’s how we approach it:
Site survey first. Before confirming any quote, we understand both premises — goods lift dimensions, floor access, parking and loading restrictions, building management requirements, and anything that could create a delay on the day.
A detailed move schedule. We build a room-by-room, area-by-area schedule and share it with your office manager before the move. Everyone knows what’s happening when.
Clear labelling. Every item gets a label. Every label maps to a location at the new site. Ambiguity on moving day costs time — clear labelling eliminates it.
The right crew size. We don’t understaff to cut costs and then run late. We assess what the job requires and send the appropriate resource.
Contingency. Things happen. Lifts break, councils reschedule road access, keys don’t arrive on time. We’ve encountered most of the things that can go wrong and know how to respond without losing the whole day.
Office Moves We Handle
Small Business Relocations (Under 20 People)
Fast-moving, typically completed in a single overnight or weekend session. We can usually get a small team moved and operational in under 24 hours with the right planning.
Mid-Size Office Relocations (20–80 People)
More complex moves requiring advance site visits, detailed scheduling, and often a phased approach over a weekend. Common in the City, Shoreditch, Canary Wharf, and across central London.
Fit-Out Clearances
Clearing a leasehold property ahead of handback — furniture removal, archive disposal, and site clearance. We work to the schedule your landlord or fit-out company requires.
Desk and Equipment Relocation Within Buildings
Sometimes a business doesn’t move buildings — it moves floors, reconfigures its layout, or needs a whole department relocated to another wing. We handle internal relocations with the same planning rigour as external ones.
What Our Customers Say
“We moved our 35-person operation from Shoreditch to Farringdon over a Friday night and Saturday. Apex had the schedule down to the hour. Everything was in place by Sunday — better than we expected.” — Michael D., Operations Manager, Technology Company, Canary Wharf
“The labelling system they used made setting up the new office far easier than expected. Our office manager could direct people without having to touch a single box herself.” — Claire S., Office Manager, Professional Services Firm, Westminster

Office Removals FAQs
Can you move office equipment outside of business hours?
Yes — the majority of our office moves happen outside standard working hours, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. Early-morning starts to beat Congestion Zone charges or building-access windows are common. We build our crew and transport availability around your operational requirements, not the other way around.
How do you handle IT equipment during an office move?
IT equipment is packed in its original packaging where available, or in purpose-appropriate boxes with appropriate cushioning. Monitors are padded and packed vertically. Servers and networking equipment are handled with particular care and moved in crates or specialist containers. We don’t disconnect or reconnect your infrastructure — that’s coordinated with your IT team — but we ensure everything arrives at the correct desk location, clearly labelled and ready for reconnection.
How do you minimise business downtime during a relocation?
Minimising downtime comes down to planning, timing, and the right crew size. We conduct a site visit at both properties, build a detailed move schedule with your office manager, label everything systematically, and work out-of-hours wherever possible. The goal is for your team to arrive Monday morning and be able to start work — not to spend the day finding their equipment.
How far in advance should we plan an office move?
For a small office (under 20 people), 4–6 weeks is usually sufficient. For a mid-size relocation, 6–12 weeks gives us proper time for site surveys, logistics planning, crate delivery, and scheduling around building management at both premises. For larger or more complex moves, earlier is better — the planning is what makes the execution smooth.
Do you provide packing crates for office moves?
Yes. We supply stackable plastic crates rather than cardboard boxes for commercial moves — they’re more secure, easier to stack, and far better for heavy files and documents. Crates are delivered to your office before the move so your team can pack over several days, and collected from the new premises once you’ve unpacked.
Can you move confidential documents and archive files securely?
We handle document and archive boxes with the same care as any other item. If you have confidential materials, we’d recommend your team seal and label them, and we’ll treat them as priority items. For highly sensitive documents requiring chain-of-custody protocols, we can discuss appropriate arrangements as part of the planning process.
