How it works
Three steps and one project price
Free site survey at both addresses
A move manager walks your Wapping 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 Tower Hamlets 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 Wapping businesses book us and re-book us
Priced per project, not per hour
One fixed figure for your Wapping 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 E1W 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 Wapping 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 Tower Hamlets bay hours and any suspension for E1W 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 Wapping what it actually involves
Around The Prospect of Whitby and St Katharine Docks, Wapping is riverside warehouse conversions, cobbled lanes and historic pubs. 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 E1W 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 Wapping high street
One street door, one stair and nowhere obvious for a van is the reality for most Wapping 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.

Office removals in Wapping answered
A Wapping office move is priced per project, not per hour on Tower Hamlets bookings. 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 in this 89% flats neighbourhood, with Tower Hamlets parking rules in play.

That is how most Wapping moves run.

The weekend uplift is 18% and is quoted with the project price up front on the streets near The Prospect of Whitby and St Katharine Docks.
Yes — it is part of the move plan, not something we leave with you on Tower Hamlets bookings. 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 in this 89% flats neighbourhood — and Tower Hamlets parking rules in play, with this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets 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 for Wapping (E1W) addresses, with 37% one-person households here — and this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets territory, 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 for Wapping (E1W) addresses — and 37% one-person households here, with Tower Hamlets parking rules in play. Server and comms room relocations are quoted separately from £480 and run with your IT provider present in this 89% flats neighbourhood, with 89% of homes here being flats.

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 in Wapping, with 11% of Wapping homes being houses — and 48% of E1W homes being privately rented, and a named move manager with a mobile number. In Tower Hamlets most buildings want that pack five working days before the switchover on Tower Hamlets bookings, with 19% 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 Tower Hamlets.

With 89% of homes in Wapping being flats, we plan the route up front.
We clear them on the same visit as a licensed waste carrier: £180 per load on E1W jobs — and 33% owner-occupation locally, with 19% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Wapping rounds — and 89% of homes here being flats, with 33% owner-occupation locally, and we can supply a photographic record for a dilapidations file if your lease requires one.
