How it works
Three steps and one project price
Free site survey at both addresses
A move manager walks your Surrey Quays 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 Surrey Quays businesses book us and re-book us
Priced per project, not per hour
One fixed figure for your Surrey Quays 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 SE16 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 Surrey Quays 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 Southwark bay hours and any suspension for SE16 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 Surrey Quays what it actually involves
Businesses move within Surrey Quays constantly — lease breaks, mergers and downsizes all land in the same few streets. 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. That decides the vehicle size, the crate count and whether your office removal is one evening or a full weekend.
Small suites above the Surrey Quays high street
One street door, one stair and nowhere obvious for a van is the reality for most Surrey Quays 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.

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 Southwark bookings — and 36% owner-occupation locally, with 4,588 households on this patch.

That is how most Surrey Quays moves run. We load after close of business on Friday, transport and build over Saturday on this side of Southwark, with Southwark parking rules in play — and Greenland Dock a few streets away, 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 this 76% flats neighbourhood. The weekend uplift is 18% and is quoted with the project price up front around Surrey Quays (Overground).
Yes — it is part of the move plan, not something we leave with you on the streets near Greenland Dock. 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 for Surrey Quays (SE16) addresses — and Southwark parking rules in play, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory. 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 on this side of Southwark — and this being London Borough of Southwark territory, with 32% one-person households here, 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 around Surrey Quays (Overground) — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, with 4,588 households on this patch. Server and comms room relocations are quoted separately from £480 and run with your IT provider present in Surrey Quays, with 32% one-person households here. What we do not do is touch structured cabling or patching on this side of Southwark, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory, 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 around Surrey Quays (Overground), with 22% of Surrey Quays homes being houses — and this being a short walk from Surrey Quays (Overground), and a named move manager with a mobile number. In Southwark most buildings want that pack five working days before the switchover on SE16 jobs, with 24% social-rented stock nearby, so we issue it at the point of booking.
Yes. 50 per crate per week, with labels and a seat-numbered floor plan on this side of Southwark. Empty crates are collected within five working days of the move — keep them longer and it is the same weekly rate, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory, with no penalty in this 76% flats neighbourhood. On Surrey Quays jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
We clear them on the same visit as a licensed waste carrier: £180 per load on the streets near Greenland Dock, with 4,588 households on this patch — and 41% of SE16 homes being privately rented, 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 SE16 jobs, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood — and 24% social-rented stock nearby, and we can supply a photographic record for a dilapidations file if your lease requires one.

Most offices here are sme suites above the high street on this side of Southwark, with this being a short walk from Surrey Quays (Overground), which typically move inside a single evening.
