Office stock in Haringey

SME suites above the high street defines Haringey: small office suites above retail, dental and medical practices, solicitors and accountants, salons, clinics and studios in single-storey or first-floor units with no lift and no dedicated bin store. The commercial weight sits around Wood Green. That decides crate counts, how many goods-lift bookings a switchover needs, and whether it runs over one evening or a full weekend.

Who moves here

Haringey has 14,010 registered businesses — 2.4% of every business in Greater London — and 76,000 people employed on 2022 figures. 90.5% of those firms are micro businesses under ten staff, so most moves booked here are ten to fifty desks over a weekend rather than full-tower programmes. The biggest employers are Retail and wholesale (20.3% of borough jobs), Hospitality and food service (11.2% of borough jobs), Education (10.8% of borough jobs).

Access, lifts and charges

A single street door with your own key, no concierge and no goods lift — the practical issues are stairs, bin day and where the van sits for twenty minutes. Hill streets in Crouch End and Highgate are steep and narrow; match-day restrictions apply around Tottenham. Haringey is outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ, so the access cost that matters here is a loading bay or bay suspension booked with London Borough of Haringey — about ten working days' notice.

Who signs it off

Owners, practice managers and office administrators buying two or three visits a week on a short, plain-English agreement. In Haringey that usually means one named contact signing off the switchover window, the building manager approving the RAMS and insurance pack, and the IT lead owning the comms room. We survey both addresses before quoting, so the figure on the purchase order is the figure invoiced.

Commercial figures: ONS UK Business Counts — local units by industry and employment size band, 2024 (Nomis NM_141_1) (2024) and ONS Business Register and Employment Survey, 2022 (Nomis NM_189_1) (2022), borough level — the smallest geography ONS publishes both series for.

The guide

Office Relocation Costs in London: What Actually Drives the Price in full

Why office moves are not quoted hourly

A householder can absorb an extra hour. A business cannot absorb an open-ended invoice on a purchase order, and finance will not approve one. So the whole commercial model is different: we survey both addresses, take the risk on how long the building will actually let us work, and quote a single figure.

That also changes who carries the cost of a slow lift or a late bay booking. On an hourly job it is you. On a surveyed project price it is us — which is precisely why the survey matters and why a quote given over the phone without one is usually a placeholder.

The desk bands, and what sits inside them

Desk count is the honest unit for an office move because it scales with crates, IT positions, furniture and crew all at once. Every band below includes the move plan, protection of lifts, floors and door frames, labelling, the RAMS and insurance pack, and the transport itself.

  • Up to 10 desks — from £650, three movers and a Luton, usually one evening
  • 11–25 desks — from £1,450, four movers and a 7.5 tonne vehicle, evening plus the following morning
  • 26–50 desks — from £2,900, six movers and two vehicles, Friday night to Sunday
  • 51–100 desks — from £5,400, eight to ten movers and three vehicles, full weekend switchover
  • 100+ desks — from £55 a desk, phased across consecutive weekends

The add-ons that move the number most

Two things reliably shift a quote: IT and timing. Workstation disconnect and reconnect at £28 a desk sounds small until you multiply it by 60, and a weekend switchover adds 18% — which is still almost always cheaper than the trading day it protects.

Crate hire at £3.50 per crate per week is the cheapest line on the sheet and the one most worth over-ordering slightly. Budget roughly two to three crates per desk, plus extras for filing and kitchens.

  • Crate hire — £3.50 per crate per week, delivered and collected
  • IT disconnect and reconnect — £28 per workstation; server and comms room from £480
  • Desk dismantle and rebuild — £18 per position
  • Business storage between leases — £22 per pallet per week
  • Furniture and WEEE clearance — £180 per load, transfer note included
  • Out-of-hours, weekend or bank holiday — 18% uplift on the project price

The building costs that are not on the removal quote

Managing agents commonly charge for out-of-hours security cover, goods lift attendance and sometimes a refundable deposit against damage to common parts. None of that is within a mover's control, so ask both buildings early and put it in the budget as its own line.

Then there is dilapidations. Making good the old floor — removing partitions, patching cable trays, redecorating — is regularly a bigger number than the move itself and is negotiated with the landlord, not the mover. What we can do is document what left the building and when.
