How it works
Three steps and one project price
Free site survey at both addresses
A move manager walks your South Bank and Waterloo 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
Goods lift booked, loading bay reserved, contractor passes issued. 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 South Bank and Waterloo businesses book us and re-book us
Priced per project, not per hour
One fixed figure for your South Bank and Waterloo 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 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 South Bank and Waterloo 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: security passes and a permit-to-work, goods lift booked with building management, contractor induction before the first shift and a logged sign-in and sign-out on every visit.
- London Borough of Southwark bay hours and any suspension for SE1 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 South Bank and Waterloo what it actually involves
South Bank and Waterloo, SE1: cultural riverfront from the national theatre to tate modern, with waterloo's flats behind. Security passes and a permit-to-work, goods lift booked with building management, contractor induction before the first shift and a logged sign-in and sign-out on every visit. A mover who knows South Bank and Waterloo business district knows which lift is bookable after 18:00 and which bay is enforced from 07:00 — and prices the switchover accordingly.
Lift slots and bay bookings in South Bank and Waterloo
Buildings here run the move as much as we do. We take the goods lift booking, the loading bay slot, the contractor induction and the permit-to-work out of your hands, put floor and lift protection down before the first crate travels, and sign in and out of the building on every visit so your managing agent has the audit trail.

Questions
Office removals in South Bank and Waterloo answered
A South Bank and Waterloo office move is priced per project, not per hour. 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. Above 100 desks we phase the relocation and price from £55 a desk. Crates are £3.50 each per week and IT disconnect and reconnect is £28 a workstation. Every figure follows a free survey of both addresses.
That is how most South Bank and Waterloo moves run. We load after close of business on Friday, transport and build over Saturday, and use Sunday for IT reconnection, snagging and a walk-round with your office manager. Desks are live for the first shift on Monday. The weekend uplift is 18% and is quoted with the project price up front.
Yes — it is part of the move plan, not something we leave with you. Security passes and a permit-to-work, goods lift booked with building management, contractor induction before the first shift and a logged sign-in and sign-out on every visit. 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, 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. Server and comms room relocations are quoted separately from £480 and run with your IT provider present. What we do not do is touch structured cabling or patching, 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, and a named move manager with a mobile number. In Southwark most buildings want that pack five working days before the switchover, so we issue it at the point of booking.
Yes. Secure, stackable crates and IT bags are delivered to your SE1 office a week before the move at £3.50 per crate per week, with labels and a seat-numbered floor plan. Empty crates are collected within five working days of the move — keep them longer and it is the same weekly rate, with no penalty.
We clear them on the same visit as a licensed waste carrier: £180 per load, 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, and we can supply a photographic record for a dilapidations file if your lease requires one.
Yes — every street in SE1 and all of Southwark, a borough with 18,190 business units. South Bank and Waterloo business district is a genuine commercial district, so we hold weekend crews for it year round.
