How it works
Three steps and one project price
Free site survey at both addresses
A move manager walks your Islington floor and the destination, counts desks and IT positions, checks lifts, bays and building rules, and agrees the switchover window with your facilities contact.
Fixed project price, move plan and RAMS
One figure for the purchase order, a seat-numbered floor plan, a crate delivery date, and the method statement, risk assessment and insurance certificates London Borough of Islington buildings and managing agents ask for.
Out-of-hours switchover, live for the first shift
Evening access agreed with the operator, street door held, kit crated by seat. Crates and IT move after close of business, desks are rebuilt and reconnected overnight or across the weekend, and empty crates are collected within five working days.
Why us
Why Islington businesses book us and re-book us
Priced per project, not per hour
One fixed figure for your Islington move, agreed after a survey of both addresses. A slow lift or a bigger crate count is our risk to carry, not a line added to your invoice.
No lost trading day
Evening switchovers for suites up to 25 desks and Friday-to-Sunday programmes for whole floors, so N1 staff arrive on Monday to a working position rather than a stack of boxes.
RAMS, insurance and permits handled
Method statement and risk assessment written for your two addresses, public liability and goods-in-transit certificates, waste carrier registration and the lift and bay bookings — issued at booking, not chased on the day.
IT crated by seat, reconnected by us
Screens, docks, cables and peripherals bagged and labelled to the destination seat number, then reconnected at £28 a workstation. Server and comms rooms move out of hours with your IT provider on site.
One named move manager
The person who surveyed your Islington office runs the switchover and answers their mobile on the night. No handover to a call centre between quote and move day.
Old furniture cleared, properly documented
Redundant desking, pedestals and IT removed on the same visit as a licensed waste carrier at £180 a load, WEEE routed correctly, and a waste transfer note for your dilapidations file.

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.
- Access at both ends drives the figure more than distance: shared street doors and keypad entry, occupant-managed keys, and evening or early-morning windows agreed directly with the operator rather than a building manager.
- London Borough of Islington bay hours and any suspension for N1 are checked at survey and quoted before you sign, never billed afterwards.
- The Congestion Charge and ULEZ are inside the project price for every vehicle we send.
- Timing: an out-of-hours or weekend switchover carries an 18% uplift and almost always costs less than the trading day it saves.

About the place
Relocating an office in Islington what it actually involves
Islington, N1: barnsbury and canonbury squares, antique shops and the almeida. Shared street doors and keypad entry, occupant-managed keys, and evening or early-morning windows agreed directly with the operator rather than a building manager. A mover who knows Islington creative quarter knows which lift is bookable after 18:00 and which bay is enforced from 07:00 — and prices the switchover accordingly.
Evening switchovers in Islington studio space
Converted floors, mezzanines and coworking suites rarely have a goods lift, but they usually do have an operator who will hold the street door after 18:00. We crate by seat number rather than by room, dismantle bench desking that was built in situ, and have the new floor laid out before the first standup.

Questions
Office removals in Islington answered
A Islington office move is priced per project, not per hour across N1. Up to 10 desks starts at £650 plus VAT, 11–25 desks at £1,450, 26–50 desks at £2,900 and a full floor of 51–100 desks at £5,400 on this side of Islington — and 36% one-person households here, with 47% social-rented stock nearby. Above 100 desks we phase the relocation and price from £55 a desk on N1 jobs. 50 each per week and IT disconnect and reconnect is £28 a workstation around Angel (Northern), with Highbury & Islington to the north. Every figure follows a free survey of both addresses in Islington.
That is how most Islington moves run. We load after close of business on Friday, transport and build over Saturday on N1 jobs — and 27% owner-occupation locally, with 36% one-person households here, and use Sunday for IT reconnection, snagging and a walk-round with your office manager. Desks are live for the first shift on Monday on this side of Islington. The weekend uplift is 18% and is quoted with the project price up front across N1.
Yes — it is part of the move plan, not something we leave with you in Islington. Shared street doors and keypad entry, occupant-managed keys for Islington (N1) addresses, with 36% one-person households here, and evening or early-morning windows agreed directly with the operator rather than a building manager. We take the booking, issue the RAMS your building or managing agent asks for, fit lift, floor and door-frame protection before the first crate travels on the streets near Islington Green and the Almeida Theatre, with Islington parking rules in play — and this being a short walk from Angel (Northern), with Highbury & Islington to the north, and sign the crew in and out of the building.
We disconnect, bag and label every workstation by seat number — screens, docks, cables and peripherals — and reconnect them at the destination position so staff sit down to a working desk around Angel (Northern), with 27% of N1 homes being privately rented, with Highbury & Islington to the north. Server and comms room relocations are quoted separately from £480 and run with your IT provider present on N1 jobs, with Islington Green and the Almeida Theatre a few streets away. What we do not do is touch structured cabling or patching on this side of Islington, with 19% of Islington homes being houses, which stays with your IT contractor.
A method statement and risk assessment specific to your two addresses, public liability and goods-in-transit insurance certificates, waste carrier registration for anything we remove in Islington, with 81% of homes here being flats — and 8,725 households on this patch, and a named move manager with a mobile number. In Islington most buildings want that pack five working days before the switchover on this side of Islington, with this being London Borough of Islington territory, so we issue it at the point of booking.
Yes. 50 per crate per week, with labels and a seat-numbered floor plan for Islington (N1) addresses. Empty crates are collected within five working days of the move — keep them longer and it is the same weekly rate, with 81% of homes here being flats, with no penalty on this side of Islington.
We clear them on the same visit as a licensed waste carrier: £180 per load across N1 — and this being a short walk from Angel (Northern), with Highbury & Islington to the north, with 81% of homes here being flats, with WEEE handled through a permitted route and a waste transfer note issued. Anything reusable is offered to a reuse partner before it is recycled on this side of Islington — and 19% of Islington homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Islington territory, and we can supply a photographic record for a dilapidations file if your lease requires one.
Yes — every street in N1 and all of Islington, a borough with 24,745 business units in Islington, with Islington parking rules in play. Islington creative quarter is a genuine commercial district around Angel (Northern), with Highbury & Islington to the north, with 36% one-person households here, so we hold weekend crews for it year round.
