Office removals in Southwark SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22, SE24
Southwark office relocation in all 14 areas of the borough (SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17). 18,190 business units and around 296,000 people working here, which means desk moves, IT relocation and weekend switchovers are routine rather than exceptional.

How it works
Three steps and one project price
Free site survey at both addresses
A move manager walks your Southwark 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 Southwark 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 Southwark businesses book us and re-book us
Priced per project, not per hour
One fixed figure for your Southwark 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 SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22, SE24 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 Southwark 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.
- Bay hours and any suspension are agreed with London Borough of Southwark at survey and quoted up front.
- Congestion Charge and ULEZ are inside the project price for every vehicle.
- Access here: Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham.
- Weekend and bank-holiday switchovers carry an 18% uplift, priced with the project, never after it.

About the place
Relocating an office in Southwark what it actually involves
Southwark is Central London, served by SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22, SE24, with 18,190 business units and roughly 296,000 people working in the borough — professional and legal services being the largest employer. South-bank riverfront and Borough Market at the top, Peckham and Dulwich villages at the bottom. For a commercial move the borough's own rules decide the plan more than mileage does: 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 Southwark sets the bay regime, and we book both ends before your switchover window.
Small suites above the Southwark high street
One street door, one stair and nowhere obvious for a van is the reality for most Southwark 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 Southwark answered
A Southwark office relocation starts at £650 and most local jobs land between £1,400 and £3,000 once crates and IT are included. Part of Southwark sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, and both that and ULEZ are inside the project price, alongside any London Borough of Southwark bay fee.
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 Southwark and can often survey within 48 hours.
All 14 of them, across SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22, SE24, plus neighbouring lambeth, lewisham, city of london. 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.
Yes, and most Southwark 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.
Every Southwark 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. London Borough of Southwark building control and most managing agents in the borough ask for that pack, so it is issued at booking rather than on request.
The borough has around 18,190 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. Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham.
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.
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.
