How it works
Three steps and one project price
Free site survey at both addresses
A move manager walks your Westminster and Whitehall 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 Westminster City Council buildings and managing agents ask for.
Out-of-hours switchover, live for the first shift
Tight loading window, service stair protected, permit bay held on the street. 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 Westminster and Whitehall businesses book us and re-book us
Priced per project, not per hour
One fixed figure for your Westminster and Whitehall 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 SW1 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 Westminster and Whitehall 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: tight loading windows, red routes and camera-enforced streets, narrow service stairs and small lifts, and estates that run their own contractor rules.
- Westminster City Council bay hours and any suspension for SW1 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 Westminster and Whitehall what it actually involves
Westminster and Whitehall is government quarter around parliament square, whitehall and smith square. For an office move that matters less than the stock: georgian and victorian buildings converted to office use, listed features and original joinery, reception-led standards, and offices sitting over or beside retail and hospitality. Tight loading windows, red routes and camera-enforced streets, narrow service stairs and small lifts, and estates that run their own contractor rules. Aim the vehicle at The Palace of Westminster and work backwards from the lift.
Period buildings and red routes in Westminster and Whitehall
A Georgian staircase, a small passenger lift and a camera-enforced kerb decide the plan. We survey the carry route first, fit edge and banister protection, break the move into smaller vehicle loads timed to the loading window, and keep original joinery and listed features untouched.

Questions
Office removals in Westminster and Whitehall answered
A Westminster and Whitehall 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 Westminster and Whitehall 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. Tight loading windows, red routes and camera-enforced streets, narrow service stairs and small lifts, and estates that run their own contractor rules. 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 Westminster 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 SW1 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 SW1 and all of Westminster, a borough with 60,890 business units. Westminster and Whitehall office quarter is a genuine commercial district, so we hold weekend crews for it year round.
