City of London office relocation in all 10 areas of the borough (EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4). 25,555 business units and around 614,000 people working here, which means desk moves, IT relocation and weekend switchovers are routine rather than exceptional. Fixed project pricing from £650, surveyed before it is quoted.
City of London is Central London, served by EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4, with 25,555 business units and roughly 614,000 people working in the borough — finance and insurance being the largest employer. The Square Mile — banking towers, medieval lanes and a resident population dwarfed by 500,000 weekday workers. For a commercial move the borough's own rules decide the plan more than mileage does: security passes and a permit-to-work, goods lift booked with building management, contractor induction before the first shift and a logged sign-in and sign-out on every visit. City of London Corporation sets the bay regime, and we book both ends before your switchover window.

Access in City of London Lift slots and bay bookings in City of London
Buildings here run the move as much as we do. We take the goods lift booking, the loading bay slot, the contractor induction and the permit-to-work out of your hands, put floor and lift protection down before the first crate travels, and sign in and out of the building on every visit so your managing agent has the audit trail.

Prices exclude VAT and are quoted per project, not per hour — a business buyer needs one figure to put on a purchase order. Every quote follows a free site survey of both addresses and includes the move plan, crate delivery and collection, protection of lifts, floors and door frames, labelling, and the RAMS and insurance pack your building manager will ask for. Out-of-hours, weekend and bank-holiday switchovers are priced at the time of booking, never added afterwards.

Office removals in City of London — questions Frequently asked
- How much do office removals cost in City of London?
- From £650 plus VAT for up to 10 desks, £1,450 for 11–25, £2,900 for 26–50 and £5,400 for a full floor. Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, and both that and ULEZ are inside the project price.
- How far ahead should we book an office move in City of London?
- Two to three weeks is comfortable: a week for the survey, quote and RAMS to clear your managing agent, and a week for crate delivery and staff packing. Quarter-ends and the last weekend of the month go first. If a lease date has moved, tell us — we hold weekend capacity across City of London and can often survey within 48 hours.
- Which City of London areas do you cover?
- All 10 of them, across EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4, plus neighbouring islington, tower hamlets, southwark. Every area has its own page with the local building stock, access reality and buyer type, and the same desk-banded pricing applies wherever in the borough you are moving.
- Can you move us out of hours so the business keeps trading?
- Yes, and most City of London moves are booked that way. Evenings suit a suite of up to 25 desks; anything larger is usually a Friday-night-to-Sunday switchover. The uplift is 18%, agreed in writing before the booking, and it buys you a floor that is live for the first shift back.
- Do you provide RAMS, insurance and waste documentation?
- Every City of London booking comes with a method statement and risk assessment for your two specific addresses, public liability and goods-in-transit certificates, and waste carrier registration with a transfer note for anything removed. City of London Corporation building control and most managing agents in the borough ask for that pack, so it is issued at booking rather than on request.
- How many businesses do you move in City of London?
- The borough has around 25,555 business units, most of them under ten people, and we work across the whole spread — from single-suite practices above the high street to multi-floor tenants in the borough's main commercial buildings. Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours.
- Can you store furniture between the two leases?
- Yes. Business storage is £22 per pallet per week in a sealed, inventoried bay, which covers the common gap where a new floor is not ready. You get an itemised inventory, and we redeliver on a date you set with no minimum term beyond the first week.
- Do you handle the clearance of old furniture as well?
- On the same visit. Old desking, pedestals, chairs and IT are removed at £180 per load as a licensed waste carrier, with WEEE routed properly and a transfer note issued for your file. It is almost always cheaper than a separate clearance booking after the keys go back.
