Office Removals Perth - Minimise Downtime, Maximise Efficiency

Office removals in Perth start from $160/hr + GST for a 2-person team, with most small to mid-sized office moves completing in 4 to 8 hours depending on floor access and volume. Tommy's Transport & Removals, handles office relocations across the Perth metro area with a flat hourly rate, no hidden fees, and the MoveSure Guarantee covering your equipment and furniture throughout the move.

Perth's commercial property landscape creates specific challenges that a standard residential removalist simply isn't set up for. Office buildings across the CBD, West Perth, Subiaco, and Northbridge often have strict building management rules. Lifts need to be booked in advance - sometimes 48 to 72 hours ahead. Loading docks on St Georges Terrace, Murray Street, and Hay Street have time windows, often limited to before 7am or after 6pm to avoid peak traffic. Miss that window and your whole move is pushed back.

Further out, office parks in Malaga, Balcatta, Osborne Park, and Wangara come with their own quirks. Car parks with height restrictions can rule out a standard 8-tonne truck, so we assess access before booking the right vehicle. Ground-floor tenancies in industrial estates are usually straightforward, but multi-level offices without freight lift access require stair-carries - a slow and physically demanding process that affects your time estimate.

We regularly move businesses across Perth's northern and inner suburbs and we see the same pressure points come up. IT equipment is almost always the biggest concern. Monitors, servers, desktop towers, and networking gear all need careful handling - not just wrapped and stacked, but packed in a logical order so your IT team can reconnect everything quickly at the other end. That sequencing is something we plan deliberately, not as an afterthought.

Furniture is the other variable. Commercial desks, filing cabinets, standing workstations, and ergonomic chairs are often heavier and bulkier than residential furniture. We bring the right trolleys - appliance trolleys, furniture dollies, and flat-bed platform trolleys - to keep the move efficient and protect both the items and your floors.

Our office removals service follows a consistent process that we've refined from handling relocations across the metro area. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you book with us.

Step 1 - Pre-Move Planning

We start with a walkthrough - either in person or via a video call. We assess furniture volume, identify access constraints at both the origin and destination, check lift availability, and flag any items that need special handling. If your building requires a lift booking or a loading dock permit, we remind you early so nothing delays the move day.

Step 2 - Packing and Labelling

If you haven't already packed, we can help. For offices, we recommend labelling boxes by desk number or team area - not just by content. That way, boxes land in the right zone at the new premises and your staff can unpack without hunting around. We bring furniture blankets, stretch wrap, and packing materials to protect screens, desk pedestals, and anything fragile.

Step 3 - Disassembly

Most flat-pack commercial desks and modular workstations need to be broken down to move safely. Our team disassembles what needs to come apart and keeps all fixings in labelled zip-lock bags taped to the item. Nothing gets lost. We use the same approach for shelving units and storage systems.

Step 4 - Load and Transport

We use furniture blankets on every item that goes onto the truck. Filing cabinets get emptied if they're too heavy - a full four-drawer metal cabinet can weigh over 80kg and becomes a safety risk on stairs or ramps. We secure the load with tie-down straps to prevent shifting in transit. Our trucks operate from the Balcatta depot and can reach any Perth metro suburb within 30 to 45 minutes.

Step 5 - Delivery and Placement

At the new premises, we place furniture exactly where your floor plan specifies. We reassemble what we disassembled. We don't leave a pile of flat-pack parts for your team to sort out on Monday morning. The move is done when everything is where it needs to be.

The most common reason an office move runs over time is inadequate preparation - and that cost falls directly on your hourly rate. Here is what we recommend every business does before move day.

Book the lift early. In CBD and inner-city buildings, lift bookings for moving purposes are often limited to specific windows. Some buildings in West Perth require two weeks notice. Don't assume it will be available on the day.

Disconnect IT before we arrive. We don't disconnect or reconnect computers, monitors, or servers - that's your IT team's role. If that's not done when we arrive, we're waiting on the clock. Have IT disconnect everything the evening before the move.

Empty your filing cabinets. Loose paper adds unpredictable weight. Box your documents in advance. For confidential records, use sealed banker's boxes and label them clearly.

Inform building management at both ends. The destination building needs to know you're arriving with a truck and a crew. Some buildings charge a bond for lift use or require proof of insurance. We carry our insurance certificates and can provide them on request.

Plan for after-hours if needed. Many Perth businesses choose to move on a Friday afternoon or Saturday to avoid disrupting the working week. We work weekends. Just book at least 2 weeks ahead for a Saturday slot - they fill up fast, especially during the March to May and September to November peak periods.

For businesses that also need same-day delivery of individual furniture items to the new office, our Same-Day Furniture Delivery Perth - Tommy's Gets It There Fast service can handle that alongside or separately from the main relocation.
