Quoting Your London Office Relocation

We advise that you be as accurate as you can when completing the online inventory and only use this as a guide when budgeting or comparing prices.
Our trained surveyors will attend your offices at a mutually convenient time and assess the level of work required. Based on our experience carrying out office relocations, we will talk you through what we believe to be the optimal process to carry out your relocation. Each schedule is tailor made and will take into account any key requirements that your business has, falling in line with your overall project plan.
We provide free commercial removal quotations within the Greater London, Surrey and Kent areas, giving you the chance to meet our representative and get a feel for how we operate. This survey allows us time to evaluate all of your requirements and generate an accurate quotation.
We understand that it is not always possible for clients to be available for us to call on them.
