How it works
Three steps and one project price
Free site survey at both addresses
A move manager walks your Forest Gate 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 Newham 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 Gate businesses book us and re-book us
Priced per project, not per hour
One fixed figure for your Forest Gate 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 E7 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 Gate 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 Newham bay hours and any suspension for E7 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 Gate what it actually involves
Around Wanstead Flats, Forest Gate is wanstead flats on the doorstep and streets of tall victorian terraces. The offices here are 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. which is why a commercial relocation in E7 is planned around access windows rather 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.
Small suites above the Forest Gate high street
One street door, one stair and nowhere obvious for a van is the reality for most Forest Gate 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 Gate answered
A Forest Gate office move is priced per project, not per hour across E7. 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 the streets near Wanstead Flats — and this being London Borough of Newham territory, with Wanstead Flats a few streets away. Above 100 desks we phase the relocation and price from £55 a desk on E7 jobs. 50 each per week and IT disconnect and reconnect is £28 a workstation on the Forest Gate rounds.

That is how most Forest Gate moves run. We load after close of business on Friday, transport and build over Saturday in Forest Gate, with 24% social-rented stock nearby — and 23% 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 Newham. The weekend uplift is 18% and is quoted with the project price up front in this 48% flats neighbourhood.
Yes — it is part of the move plan, not something we leave with you in Forest Gate. 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 around Forest Gate (Elizabeth line) — and this being a short walk from Forest Gate (Elizabeth line), with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. 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 in this 48% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Newham territory — and 52% of Forest Gate homes being houses, and sign the crew in and out of the building.

Server and comms room relocations are quoted separately from £480 and run with your IT provider present on the Forest Gate rounds, with 23% one-person households here. What we do not do is touch structured cabling or patching on E7 jobs, with Newham parking rules in play, 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 Newham bookings — and Newham parking rules in play, with Wanstead Flats a few streets away, and a named move manager with a mobile number. In Newham most buildings want that pack five working days before the switchover on the streets near Wanstead Flats, with 52% of Forest Gate homes being houses, so we issue it at the point of booking.
Yes. 50 per crate per week, with labels and a seat-numbered floor plan on E7 jobs. Empty crates are collected within five working days of the move — keep them longer and it is the same weekly rate, with 38% owner-occupation locally, with no penalty on the streets near Wanstead Flats.
