How it works
Three steps and one project price
Free site survey at both addresses
A move manager walks your Forest Hill 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 Lewisham 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 Forest Hill businesses book us and re-book us
Priced per project, not per hour
One fixed figure for your Forest Hill 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 SE23 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 Forest Hill 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 Lewisham bay hours and any suspension for SE23 are checked at survey and quoted before you sign, never billed afterwards.
- ULEZ is inside the project price for every vehicle we send, and there is no Congestion Charge here.
- 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 Forest Hill what it actually involves
Forest Hill is the horniman museum, the hill views and a compact village centre. For an office move that matters less than the stock: 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. 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. Aim the vehicle at The Horniman Museum and Gardens and work backwards from the lift.
Small suites above the Forest Hill high street
One street door, one stair and nowhere obvious for a van is the reality for most Forest Hill 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 Forest Hill answered
A Forest Hill office move is priced per project, not per hour in this 58% flats neighbourhood. 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 Lewisham bookings, with Lewisham parking rules in play. Above 100 desks we phase the relocation and price from £55 a desk in Forest Hill. 50 each per week and IT disconnect and reconnect is £28 a workstation for Forest Hill (SE23) addresses. Every figure follows a free survey of both addresses on the streets near The Horniman Museum and Gardens.
That is how most Forest Hill moves run. We load after close of business on Friday, transport and build over Saturday on Lewisham bookings, with 27% of SE23 homes being privately rented — and 6,684 households on this patch, 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 the streets near The Horniman Museum and Gardens. The weekend uplift is 18% and is quoted with the project price up front for Forest Hill (SE23) addresses.
Yes — it is part of the move plan, not something we leave with you on SE23 jobs. 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 streets near The Horniman Museum and Gardens — and 19% social-rented stock nearby, with 42% of Forest Hill homes being houses. 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 across SE23 — and 58% of homes here being flats, with The Horniman Museum and Gardens a few streets away, 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 on SE23 jobs — and The Horniman Museum and Gardens a few streets away, with Lewisham parking rules in play. Server and comms room relocations are quoted separately from £480 and run with your IT provider present on the Forest Hill rounds, with 28% one-person households here. What we do not do is touch structured cabling or patching on Lewisham bookings, with 6,684 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 for Forest Hill (SE23) addresses, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory — and this being a short walk from Forest Hill (Overground), and a named move manager with a mobile number. In Lewisham most buildings want that pack five working days before the switchover on the streets near The Horniman Museum and Gardens, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, so we issue it at the point of booking.
Yes. 50 per crate per week, with labels and a seat-numbered floor plan around Forest Hill (Overground). Empty crates are collected within five working days of the move — keep them longer and it is the same weekly rate, with 27% of SE23 homes being privately rented, with no penalty in this 58% flats neighbourhood.
We clear them on the same visit as a licensed waste carrier: £180 per load for Forest Hill (SE23) addresses, with 54% owner-occupation locally — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, 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 streets near The Horniman Museum and Gardens, with 19% social-rented stock nearby — and Lewisham parking rules in play, and we can supply a photographic record for a dilapidations file if your lease requires one.
Yes — every street in SE23 and all of Lewisham, a borough with 10,820 business units on the streets near The Horniman Museum and Gardens, with 27% of SE23 homes being privately rented. Most offices here are sme suites above the high street for Forest Hill (SE23) addresses, with The Horniman Museum and Gardens a few streets away, which typically move inside a single evening.
