How it works
Three steps and one project price
Free site survey at both addresses
A move manager walks your Old Street 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
Single stair to the kerb, van parked legally, everything hand-carried and labelled. 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 Old Street businesses book us and re-book us
Priced per project, not per hour
One fixed figure for your Old Street 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 EC1V 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 Old Street 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: 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.
- London Borough of Islington bay hours and any suspension for EC1V 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 Old Street what it actually involves
Old Street sits in Islington, a borough with 24,745 business units and 264,000 people at work. Locally the buyer is usually owners, practice managers and office administrators buying two or three visits a week on a short, plain-english agreement. 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.
Small suites above the Old Street high street
One street door, one stair and nowhere obvious for a van is the reality for most Old Street practices and studios. We check the bay hours, work in shorter runs so the stair is never overloaded, and get you trading again the next morning — usually inside a single evening.

Questions
Office removals in Old Street answered
A Old Street office move is priced per project, not per hour across EC1V. 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, with 98% of homes here being flats. Above 100 desks we phase the relocation and price from £55 a desk in this 98% flats neighbourhood. 50 each per week and IT disconnect and reconnect is £28 a workstation around Old Street (Northern, Great Northern). Every figure follows a free survey of both addresses in Old Street.
That is how most Old Street moves run. We load after close of business on Friday, transport and build over Saturday for Old Street (EC1V) addresses — and Islington parking rules in play, with this being a short walk from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), and use Sunday for IT reconnection, snagging and a walk-round with your office manager. Desks are live for the first shift on Monday in Old Street. The weekend uplift is 18% and is quoted with the project price up front on Islington bookings.
Yes — it is part of the move plan, not something we leave with you on Islington bookings. 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 on the Old Street rounds, with Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away. 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 for Old Street (EC1V) addresses — and 52% social-rented stock nearby, with 19% owner-occupation locally, 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 in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented, with this being London Borough of Islington territory. Server and comms room relocations are quoted separately from £480 and run with your IT provider present for Old Street (EC1V) addresses, with 98% of homes here being flats. What we do not do is touch structured cabling or patching on the Old Street rounds, with 4,949 households on this patch, 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 on Islington bookings — and 4,949 households on this patch, with 19% owner-occupation locally, and a named move manager with a mobile number. In Islington most buildings want that pack five working days before the switchover on the Old Street rounds, with 4,949 households on this patch, so we issue it at the point of booking.
Yes. 50 per crate per week, with labels and a seat-numbered floor plan on the streets near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground. Empty crates are collected within five working days of the move — keep them longer and it is the same weekly rate, with Islington parking rules in play, with no penalty for Old Street (EC1V) addresses.
We clear them on the same visit as a licensed waste carrier: £180 per load across EC1V, with 19% owner-occupation locally — and 39% one-person households here, 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 the Old Street rounds, with 52% social-rented stock nearby — and 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 EC1V, EC1 and all of Islington, a borough with 24,745 business units in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 98% of homes here being flats. Most offices here are sme suites above the high street on this side of Islington, with Islington parking rules in play, which typically move inside a single evening.
