School deadlines don't move. Your pupils walk back through the door on the first day of term regardless of what happened over the summer. That's the pressure every school removal we run is planned around. We've worked on school projects across London for years and we know how much is riding on getting it right.
Tell us what's moving and when. We'll get back to you within the hour.
Moving a school is nothing like moving a home or an office. The contents are more varied, the deadlines are fixed, and the penalty for getting it wrong falls on hundreds of pupils, families and staff. London's schools move between sites, relocate whole departments and decant into temporary buildings every year, often as part of funded rebuilding work. The DfE's Education Estates Strategy commits almost £38 billion to school buildings from 2025 to 2030, keeping London schools in a near-constant cycle of relocation and refurbishment. We work on these projects year-round and know exactly what it takes to deliver them without a hitch.
Every school removal we run is mapped to your academic calendar before a single crate is delivered. Most projects happen during the summer break, but we also cover Easter, half-term and INSET-day windows. Your dedicated move manager works directly with your facilities team to agree a room-by-room sequence, so priority spaces are ready first. We cover schools from Islington primaries in the inner boroughs to secondary schools right across outer London. The plan is yours to approve before anything is touched.
Classrooms and offices are the straightforward part. We also handle science labs and fume cupboards, library shelving and stock, SEN and early-years rooms, PE stores, music rooms and IT suites. For server rooms and complex network equipment, our IT relocation team coordinates directly with your provider, so nothing is left disconnected and unaccounted for.
Safeguarding doesn't stop because it's the holidays. Every crew member on a school relocation is DBS-checked before they set foot on site and briefed on working professionally in an educational environment, including around any staff present during the break. We carry £5m public liability on every job and goods-in-transit cover for the full declared value of your equipment. Schools in Hackney, Southwark and across the capital have trusted us with sensitive and high-value kit.
The main variables are the number of rooms, the specialist content (a science lab costs more to move than a standard classroom), whether the project runs across one holiday or needs phasing over two, and whether secure storage between phases is required. Old furniture clearance and specialist equipment handling also affect the total. Every quote follows a proper site survey, so the price you agree is the price you pay.
These figures give a realistic sense of cost. Whole-school relocations are always quoted after a full site visit.
| Job | Typical | Guide price |
|---|---|---|
| Single classroom / office | Per room | £600 – £1,500 |
| Department / multi-room | Phased | £1,500 – £5,000 |
| Whole-school relocation | Holiday project | Ask for quote |
| Crate hire (per crate / week) | Delivered ahead | from £4 |

A move coordinator visits both sites, maps every room and agrees a sequenced project plan with your team. After the survey, we confirm a fixed all-in price. Nothing changes after that.
Your DBS-checked crew is on site from day one of the holiday. Your move manager sends daily progress reports, works to the agreed room sequence and flags anything needing a quick decision.
Spaces are set up, positioned and ready before staff walk back in on day one. Your team starts immediately. No chasing, no half-finished rooms, no loose ends.
It's not just the crew. Every move manager, site supervisor and driver working in a school is DBS-checked and briefed on educational environments before they set foot on site.
Your quote comes from a real site survey, not a rough estimate. The number we confirm before the project starts is the number on your invoice. No overtime charges, no day-rate surprises.
Term dates don't shift, and neither does our commitment to meeting them. Projects are staffed correctly, planned tightly and monitored daily. No room gets left half-done on our watch.
Fume cupboards, server racks, grand pianos and SEN equipment don't go in a van like classroom chairs. The crew knows how to protect, position and account for every specialist item.
A few straightforward steps from your side before the holiday starts keeps the project running to plan.
From school business managers to bursars and facilities teams, here's what London schools say about working with us.
“We moved our whole primary school over the summer: classrooms, the library, the ICT suite and the staffroom. Every room was labelled, the crew knew the plan and everything was set up before staff arrived. Exactly the kind of job you need done right first time.”
“Half-term job, two IT suites and the staffroom. The team arrived on time, worked neatly around our caretaker and left both rooms clean. Everything went exactly where the floor plan said. No fuss, no damage, no drama.”
“Our science department moved over Easter: lab benches, fume cupboards and all the chemical storage. A proper specialist job. They handled every piece without a single problem. We'd use them again without hesitation.”
