A small office move needs a Luton van, which holds around 19m³ and carries up to 1,100kg — typically enough for up to around 10 desks in one run. A medium or large office usually needs multiple Luton vans, or a 7.5-tonne lorry for a single-building relocation, coordinated so the business is back online with minimal downtime.
Recommended vehicle

Why we recommend this van
Office furniture is bulkier per item than home furniture — desks, filing cabinets and monitor arms take up real volume even when there are relatively few of them — so office moves are sized by desk count and furniture type rather than a simple room count.
A Luton van's 19m³ comfortably covers a small office of up to around 10 desks, chairs and a couple of filing cabinets.
Beyond that, we plan around your business hours rather than the van size alone: evening and weekend slots keep desks and IT equipment moving without a working day lost. For a bigger relocation, or a warehouse and stock move, we scope multiple vehicles and a loading sequence in advance, so the move happens on a single scheduled window.
What typically fits
- Desks, office chairs and monitor setups
- Filing cabinets and storage units
- IT equipment, packed and labelled
- Breakout furniture and small kitchen appliances
- Boxed files and stationery
Moving a warehouse, stock room or a server room specifically? Those loads are handled differently to desk furniture — see our specialist office move pages below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size van do I need to move a 10-desk office?
A single Luton van, at around 19m³, typically covers a 10-desk office including chairs and a couple of filing cabinets. Larger offices, or moves that include a server room or warehouse stock, usually need multiple vehicles.
Can office moves happen outside business hours?
Yes, evening and weekend office moves are common precisely to avoid business downtime. Tell us your preferred window when you book and we schedule the crew and vehicle around it.
Do I need to pack office equipment myself before the move?
Boxing files and small items in advance speeds up the job, but our crew can handle furniture dismantling, IT equipment and larger items on the day. Tell us what help you need when you quote.
