There's no standard office move cost. It depends on how many desks and how much furniture are moving, the floors and lifts at both ends, the distance, the time window, and how much IT has to be disconnected and reconnected. We don't publish a price list. We quote each job from your floor plan and desk count.
How much is moving. The number of desks, the amount of furniture and how many screens, docks and cables sit on each desk. Every desk is disconnected, labelled and rebuilt, so the desk count matters more than the square footage.
Access at both ends. Floors, lifts, stairs and loading bays. A goods lift you can book is easy.
A single small lift shared with other tenants is slow. A missed loading bay slot means waiting.
The building. Some buildings want RAMS, insurance documents and a protected route. Our Building Management Pack Index lists what they usually ask for.
If a job is held up because the building isn't ready, waiting time applies. Under our 2024 terms it is £35 to £45 per hour ex VAT.
The window. Most office moves happen in the evening or over a weekend, so the office is working on Monday. A short window means more people to do the same job.
Distance. Two offices in the same city cost less than a trip across the UK.
The IT. Disconnecting and reconnecting desks, moving a comms room, and testing on the first morning. Some clients want all of it, some just want the transport. See office IT relocation.
Furniture and installation. Moving furniture is one job. Building meeting rooms and phone booths on site is another. See office furniture delivery and installation.
Storage. If the new office isn't ready when the old one closes, furniture and kit can wait in our Fleet warehouse. That is an added cost.
Cover. Cover for your kit is arranged for each job to its value, up to £0.5m without referral. Tell us what it's worth.
What happens to the old kit. If it isn't coming, IT asset disposal is a separate job.
There isn't a standard price. It depends on the number of desks, the furniture, the floors and lifts at both ends, the distance, the time window and the IT. Send us the floor plan and the desk count and we'll quote.
We don't publish an average, because it would mislead. A small office and a whole building are different jobs. The table above shows what pushes the cost up or down at each size.
It depends on how much there is, the floors and lifts, and whether it needs building on site, like meeting rooms and phone booths. Send us the item list and the floor plan.
List what's moving: desks, furniture, IT, storage. Add the building's requirements, the move window and any extras like disposal of old kit. Then ask two or three firms to quote against the same floor plan and desk count, so the quotes compare.
An estimate covers the crew, the vehicles and the work you ask us to do, such as packing, labelling, the building paperwork and the rebuild at the new office. Storage and disposal are separate jobs, and we price the time window for your move.
It depends on the job. Most office moves are out of hours, and we plan the quote around the window you have.
Cover is arranged for each job to the value of your equipment, up to £0.5m without referral. Tell us the value when you ask for a quote.
The floor plan, the desk count, both addresses, the dates and anything about access. Our office relocation checklist has the full list.
