Prices

What office & commercial removals in Hastings costs

Our rates are the same in Hastings as everywhere else we work, and they are never changed by postcode.

Office and commercial moves run as a project — one coordinator, our own crew, and a plan that works backwards from the hour you need to be trading again.

Typical labour for an office move

Luton Box Van
3 movers, about 3 hours loading and unloading
£390
5.5 Tonne Lorry
3 movers, about 4 hours loading and unloading
£640
7.5 Tonne Lorry
4 movers, about 5 hours loading and unloading
£1,050

Loading and unloading labour only. Driving time, mileage between your two addresses, stairs (£10 per person, per flight, per hour at that address) and desk dismantling are added in your written quote, with larger sites run as several loads.

Other charges that can apply

  • Stairs

    £10 per person, per flight, per hour

    From the first floor up, for the hours at that address. A floor is 2 flights, so a first floor with a two-person crew adds £40 an hour there. A working lift that takes furniture removes the charge.

    Work out your stairs
  • Waiting time

    £40 per person, per hour

    For example if the keys are released late on completion day: £80 an hour for a two-person crew.

  • Timing

    +15% evenings

    +20% Sundays and bank holidays

    Your quote says which applies to your date before you book.

The minimum booking is 2 hours for the Small Transit (SWB) and Transit LWB, and 3 hours for the Luton Box Van, 5.5 Tonne Lorry and 7.5 Tonne Lorry.

To get an itemised quote, send us both addresses, the floor and lift situation at each, where the van can stop, and what the job involves. Your quote arrives in writing within 24 hours.

Travel

Do you pay for our journey to Hastings?

No. Our nearest office is in London, about 27 miles from Hastings as the crow flies. That journey is not in your quote.

The hourly charge starts when the crew arrives at your first address, and the mileage covers only the road distance between the address you are leaving and the one you are moving to. That holds whether you are moving across Hastings or to the other end of the country.

Office & Commercial Removals by AFS Removals

The service

Office & Commercial Removals with AFS

A commercial move is judged on one thing: how long you are not working. That makes sequencing the whole job — what gets packed last, what gets unloaded first, and what has to be live again by Monday morning.

Goods in Transit and Public Liability cover are in place for every commercial job, and one coordinator owns the move end to end, from the first conversation to the last desk going back together.

Council rules

What the council says about moving day in Hastings

Published by the authorities themselves, with a link to each. Rules and fees change, so check the source before you rely on them.

  1. 1

    Reserving space outside the property: East Sussex County Council

    On-street parking in Hastings is run by East Sussex County Council, not Hastings Borough Council. The county lists moving house as an eligible reason for a residential bay suspension and charges £16 set-up per bay plus £2.25 per bay per day. The page does not state a notice period, so ask its parking customer service team when you book.

Stairs and lifts

Floors, lifts and the carry from the van

Tell us which floor each address is on and whether a lift takes furniture. Stairs are charged by the flight from the first floor up, and a working lift removes the charge. A long walk from the van, a narrow gate or a tight stairwell also changes the time a job takes.

Tap your floor on each building, or drag the marker beside it.

Questions

Office & Commercial Removals in Hastings: common questions

Do you cover all of Hastings?
Yes. We cover all of Hastings and the rest of East Sussex, and we move people to and from anywhere in the UK. A long-distance move is priced from the same rate card as a local one — it just has more miles on it.
What are your prices for office & commercial removals in Hastings?
The same as everywhere we work — our rates do not change by postcode. For example, 7.5 tonne lorry: £1,050 (4 movers, about 5 hours loading and unloading). Loading and unloading labour only. Driving time, mileage between your two addresses, stairs (£10 per person, per flight, per hour at that address) and desk dismantling are added in your written quote, with larger sites run as several loads. Your itemised written quote arrives within 24 hours.
How far is Hastings from your nearest office?
About 27 miles from our London office, as the crow flies. The time in your quote runs from the crew's arrival at your address, and the mileage is worked out from the road distance between your two addresses.
Do I need to arrange parking for moving day in Hastings?
Often, yes. The council rules we have found for Hastings are listed on this page with links to the official pages, including how much notice a parking suspension needs. Tell us what you have arranged when you book, and we plan the vehicle around it.
What size of business do you move?
Anything from a single serviced office to a multi-floor site. The vehicle and crew are scaled to the job — up to a 7.5 tonne lorry with a four-person crew.
Can you move us over a weekend?
Yes. The crew and vehicle are booked for the day you need, and a weekend move is planned the same way as a weekday one. Sunday and bank holiday starts carry a published surcharge, which your quote shows as its own line.
Do you dismantle desks and office furniture?
Yes. Dismantling and reassembly is charged per item at a published rate, from £40 for standard desks and office furniture, subject to a £90 minimum booking, rather than folded into the hourly rate.
