Flat Removals in Putney – How Our Service Works

Flat moves come with particular challenges: stairs, lifts, parking restrictions, tight hallways and managing neighbours’ space. As a local Putney removals company, we deal with these every day. We coordinate access with building managers where needed, protect communal areas, and use the right equipment to move your belongings safely without disruption.

You get a dedicated move plan, clear timings and a courteous, professional crew who treat your property as if it were their own.

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

Contact Putney Movers by phone or online with a brief outline of your flat move: locations, property type, rough inventory and preferred date. We provide an initial estimate and discuss any access considerations such as top-floor flats, no lifts or restricted parking.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most flat removals in Putney, we complete a short virtual survey via video call or photos. For larger or more complex moves, we can visit in person. The survey allows us to assess access, volume, any dismantling required and special care items. Based on this, we provide a clear, written, no-obligation quote.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – We supply all materials and pack everything for you.
• Fragile-only packing – We pack breakables such as glass, china and pictures.
• Self-pack – You pack; we provide packing materials if required.

Before moving day, we confirm arrival times, parking arrangements and building rules, so everything runs smoothly.

4. Loading & Transport

On the day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and communal areas, and begins loading. Furniture is wrapped and secured; boxes are stacked safely and logically. We use the correct size vehicle(s) and, where needed, multiple trips for local moves in Putney. Your goods are carried under our goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new flat, we unload in an organised way, placing items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture we dismantled at collection and position heavy pieces where you want them. Once everything is unloaded, we carry out a walk-through with you to ensure nothing is missing or damaged.

Transparent Flat Removals Pricing in Putney

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:

• Size of your flat and volume of items
• Distance between the properties
• Access (stairs, lifts, parking, long carries)
• Level of service – packing, dismantling/reassembly, materials
• Any special handling requirements (pianos, antiques, large artwork)

We normally offer a fixed price for flat removals in Putney, agreed in advance. This gives you cost certainty and helps with budgeting for deposits, cleaning and other moving-day expenses.

Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

On the surface, moving a flat may look simple enough to tackle yourself or with a casual man-and-van. In practice, it involves manual handling risks, parking issues, potential damage to communal areas and the pressure of strict check-in/check-out times.

With Putney Movers you get:

• A professional, punctual crew who move flats every day
• Correct equipment – dollies, straps, covers and tools for dismantling furniture
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
• Careful protection of both the flat and shared areas
• Proper planning, so you avoid last-minute complications

This reduces stress, minimises risk of damage, and helps ensure you meet landlord or building management expectations.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Putney Movers operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – for peace of mind in communal areas, lifts and shared entrances.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in safe lifting, furniture protection and working in tight flat stairwells.

We follow recognised industry best practice for wrapping, loading and securing furniture and boxes. If an issue does occur, we have clear procedures for reporting and resolving it promptly.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your belongings and the properties we work in is central to our service. We use padded covers for sofas and mattresses, wrapping for televisions and blankets/straps inside the vehicle. Communal hallways, banisters and lifts are protected as needed, helping to keep neighbours and building managers happy.

We also work to reduce waste by reusing sturdy cartons where possible, sourcing recyclable materials and planning routes efficiently to limit unnecessary mileage. If you require, we can collect used packing materials after your move for responsible reuse or recycling.

Real-World Flat Removals Use Cases

• Moving house – Families upsizing from a Putney flat to a house, or downsizing to a more manageable apartment.
• Office and serviced workspace moves – Businesses relocating small teams between flats, studios and managed offices.
• Urgent or time-sensitive moves – Last-minute tenancy changes, break-ups or emergency relocations where dates cannot be shifted.
• Student term-time moves – Flexible services around university term dates, including shared flats and halls of residence.

Whatever your situation, we adapt the schedule and level of support to fit your timing and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a flat removal in Putney cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your flat, the amount of furniture and boxes, distance between addresses and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. As a rough guide, a small local flat move may cost less than a larger multi-bedroom apartment with difficult access. After a short survey, we provide a clear fixed-price quote so you know exactly what you will pay before you book. There are no hidden charges, and we are always happy to explain how the price has been calculated.

Can you do same-day or urgent flat removals?

Where our schedule allows, we do accommodate same-day or very short-notice flat removals in Putney. Urgent moves are more likely to be available midweek and outside peak times at month-end. If you are facing an unexpected change of circumstances or a last-minute tenancy issue, call us as soon as possible. We will check vehicle and crew availability, then offer realistic time slots and costs. Even with urgent moves, we still follow our professional standards for protection, loading and insurance cover.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover. These policies are designed to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss during the removal. There are standard limits and exclusions, which we can outline before you book. We do recommend that highly valuable or irreplaceable items are discussed with us in advance so we can confirm cover arrangements or suggest that you transport them personally.

What’s included in your flat removals service?

Our standard flat removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, an appropriately sized professional crew, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We place items in the rooms you choose and can reassemble basic furniture that we dismantle. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials and disposal or recycling of unwanted items by prior arrangement. All of this is clearly detailed in your written quote so you know exactly what is and is not included before moving day.

What’s the difference between your service and a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van can suit very small jobs, but for most flat removals in Putney, a structured, fully insured removals service is safer and more reliable. We provide trained teams, proper equipment, planned vehicle sizes and formal insurance cover. We also survey your move in advance, coordinate parking and protect communal areas. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or disputes with landlords and neighbours. With us, you know who is turning up, when they are arriving and exactly what standard of service to expect.

How far in advance should I book my flat removal?

We recommend booking your flat removal as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during summer. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for most moves in Putney, allowing time for surveys, parking arrangements and packing. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice. If your date moves, we will do our best to accommodate the new timing within our schedule.
