Sustainability in Office Removals: Meeting Your Clients' Expectations

Ida Gorecka • February 25, 2025

The office removal space is changing fast. Clients aren’t just asking about moving dates or insurance anymore. They’re also becoming more aware of the environmental impact of their office relocations. As businesses face increasing pressure to showcase their sustainability efforts, every part of their move needs to align with their environmental goals. For removal companies like yours, this is a golden opportunity to expand your services and boost project values.


Ready to turn these eco-conscious clients into long-term partners? This article shows you exactly how.

The Growing Demand for Sustainable Office Moves

The game has changed for office removals. Think about your last few client meetings. How many times did sustainability come up?


In the UK alone, over 300 tonnes of used office furniture enter landfills daily. Your clients face mounting pressure to prove they're handling unwanted furniture responsibly - simply sending it to landfill isn't an option anymore. Corporate environmental policies and ESG requirements demand proper documentation and sustainable solutions.


Most removal companies still focus on the basics-just moving the office furniture. But this leaves a big opportunity for companies that want to offer more. By partnering with Coggin SOS and our recycling facility, you can provide complete solutions that solve those client problems, while increasing your project values.


When planning an office move today, you’re likely to hear questions like:


  • "Can these desks be recycled?"
  • "What happens to our old chairs?"
  • "How can we prove everything was disposed of sustainably?"


Being able to answer these questions confidently can turn a simple removal job into a much bigger, value-added service.

Why Buying Cheap Costs More: The Long-Term Value of Quality Refurbished Furniture

By Ida Gorecka • July 30, 2025
You’re in the middle of planning an office space. Budgets are tight. Lead times are short. It’s tempting to type “cheap office chairs” into your browser and find something that fits the spreadsheet. But here’s the problem: cheap furniture is rarely cheap in the long run . The market is saturated with budget desks, chairs, and storage that look good online, but fall apart in practice. And when they do, they cost more - more to replace, more to dispose of, more to fix (if that’s even possible), and more in lost time and productivity. It’s a vicious cycle that undermines your budget, timeline, and any potential ESG goals. According to WRAP , the UK disposes of over 200,000 tonnes of office furniture every year - much of it barely used. When furniture fails quickly, so does your investment. In a commercial setting, that failure shows up in missed deadlines, spiralling budgets, and sustainability goals slipping out of reach. So before you hit "order" on another bulk buy of flat-packed furniture, take a moment. In this article, you'll learn the hidden costs of cheap office furniture and why refurbished premium office furniture is the smarter alternative. If you're looking to reduce hassle, save money, and build a workspace that actually lasts, keep on reading. Need help getting started?

Refurbished Office Furniture Saves Overbury Over £2000 on Site Setup Costs

By Ida Gorecka • July 18, 2025
Anyone who's worked in construction knows that site setup costs can quickly spiral. For Overbury , one of the UK's leading fit-out and refurbishment specialists, managing these costs while maintaining professional standards is a constant balancing act. When setting up their latest construction site office, they faced a challenge familiar to many in the industry: creating a functional workspace quickly and cost-effectively. After seeing what we achieved together on their previous project, Overbury approached us with clear priorities - they needed a professional office setup delivered on a construction timeline. With tight deadlines to meet and costs to manage, they needed their office space ready quickly while avoiding the expense and environmental impact of buying new office furniture. Like many construction projects, this one came with complex requirements - specific layouts, tight timelines, and budget constraints - yet Overbury knew from experience that refurbished office furniture could deliver exactly what they needed.

By Ida Gorecka • July 16, 2025
If you're managing an office move, refit, or hybrid transition, you've likely faced this question: do we buy new furniture, or make use of what we have? Every year, over 1.2 million desks and 1.8 million office chairs are sent to landfill in the UK- enough to fill Wembley Stadium twice. ( Source: WRAP ) With Landfill Tax raised to £126.15 per tonne in April 2025 (S ource: UK Government ), the cost of disposing office furniture is increasing fast. If you’re trying to balance budgets , meet ESG goals , and minimise downtime , choosing refurbishment over replacement could be the most strategic decision you make this year. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get more from what you already own. Saving thousands, supporting your ESG goals, and creating a more flexible, future-proof workspace. Got a project coming up?
