An office relocation is judged on one thing: how quickly people are working again. Drophex Logistics plans commercial removals around that measure - sequencing the move so the critical desks, screens and comms equipment go in first, and everything else follows in a controlled order rather than landing in reception all at once.
We handle office removals across London and the surrounding areas for businesses of every size, from a studio floor of eight people to a multi-floor commercial relocation run across a weekend. Most moves happen outside working hours, so your team finishes on Friday at one address and starts Monday at the other. Where a phased approach suits better, departments can be moved in stages so the business never fully stops.
Office relocation planned around your operating hours
The plan matters more than the lorry. Before anything is lifted we agree the running order, the access arrangements at both buildings, and who signs off each stage on the day.
01
Site survey and move plan
We walk both buildings, check lifts, loading bays and out-of-hours access, then agree a schedule with your facilities contact.
02
Labelled to destination
Every box and item is labelled to a destination desk or room, so unloading follows the floor plan instead of guesswork.
03
Evening and weekend moves
Out-of-hours and weekend slots keep the disruption off your working week and away from trading hours.
What a commercial removal covers
Desks, chairs and storage
Dismantled, moved and rebuilt to the new layout, including pedestals, filing cabinets and meeting furniture.
IT and electronics
Screens, docks, printers and comms equipment protected in transit and set down at the correct desk, ready for your IT team to reconnect.
Files and archives
Filing and archive boxes kept sealed, labelled and accounted for from one building to the other.
Small and large offices
From a single studio floor to a phased multi-floor relocation handled over several nights.
Minimal downtime
Moves timed around evenings, weekends and quiet periods so trading hours are protected.

- IT equipment moved and placed ready to reconnect
- Evening, weekend and phased moves
Businesses we relocate
Commercial removals cover a wider range of situations than most people expect:
- Growing businesses taking on a larger floor or opening a second site
- Companies consolidating or downsizing offices after a change in headcount
- Landlords and agents clearing commercial space between tenants
- Firms relocating within London or moving operations out of the city entirely
What affects the cost of an office relocation
Office moves are quoted on scale and access rather than a per-desk rate. The main variables are:
- Headcount and the number of desk positions being moved
- Lift access, loading bay availability and each building's out-of-hours rules
- How much furniture needs dismantling and rebuilding at the other end
- Whether the move runs in one go or in phases across several nights
A short site visit usually pays for itself here, because it turns a rough estimate into a quote you can budget against.
Services that support a business move
Office relocations rarely need just a lorry and a crew:
Office relocation questions answered
By sequencing it. We agree which desks, equipment and departments have to be live first, move those in the earliest slot, and schedule the rest around them. Most moves also run in the evening or over a weekend so the disruption falls outside working hours.
Yes. Screens, docks, printers and comms kit are protected for transit and placed at the correct desk in the new office, ready for your IT team or provider to reconnect and test. We handle the physical move rather than the network configuration.
Yes. Evening, overnight and weekend moves are the norm for commercial relocations. It is worth checking your building's access rules early, because many managed offices restrict lift and loading bay use to certain hours.
It is quoted on the size and complexity of the move rather than a fixed rate. Headcount, the volume of furniture, lift and loading access at both buildings, how much dismantling is involved and whether the move is phased all change the figure. A site visit gives you an accurate number.
Yes. Desks, pedestals, storage units and meeting tables are taken apart where needed and rebuilt to your new floor plan, so the office is usable rather than a room full of components.
We can clear it at the same time through our furniture disposal service, or move it into storage if you would rather keep it for a future site.
