At Putney Movers, we provide straightforward, well-organised house removals across Putney and the surrounding areas. As a local, owner-managed removals company, we focus on careful planning, clear communication and respectful handling of your belongings, so moving day runs as smoothly as possible.

Professional House Removals in Putney

Our Putney house removals service covers everything from small flats to large family homes. Whether you are moving a few streets away, across London or elsewhere in the UK, our professional, fully insured crews handle the heavy lifting, parking logistics and safe transport.

We use purpose-built removals vehicles, high‑quality protective materials and trained staff who move properties in Putney every day. You decide how much help you need – from simple loading and transport to a complete pack, move and unpack service.

Local Expertise in Putney and South West London

Putney has its own quirks: narrow roads off the High Street, controlled parking zones, mansion blocks with lifts that don’t always work, and Victorian terraces with tight staircases. Our teams work in these streets daily, so we understand how to plan access, arrange parking suspensions and protect communal areas.

We regularly move clients in areas such as Putney High Street, Putney Heath, West Putney, East Putney, Roehampton and along the river. Local knowledge allows us to choose the right vehicle sizes, plan efficient routes and minimise disruption to neighbours.

Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Our Putney removals service is flexible enough to suit many different clients, including:

• Homeowners moving between family homes, upsizing or downsizing.
• Renters moving between flats, house shares or short‑term lets.
• Landlords needing properties cleared, refreshed or part‑furnished moves.
• Businesses relocating small offices or home-based workspaces.
• Students moving to or from halls and shared accommodation.

Whether it is a full 4‑bed house or a studio flat, we tailor the number of movers, vehicle size and level of service to your situation.

What Our House Removals Service Includes

Items We Commonly Move

We handle most typical household contents, including:

• Sofas, armchairs, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
• Dining tables, desks, bookcases and storage units
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other white goods
• TVs, computers, audio equipment and small electronics
• Clothing, books, kitchenware and personal effects
• Garage and shed contents, bikes and outdoor furniture

We can also supply and use specialist materials for fragile packing of glassware, artwork, mirrors and antiques on request.

Items We Cannot or May Not Move

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require prior discussion:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, paint thinners, chemicals)
• Illegal items or goods without proof of ownership
• Live animals (we can advise on pet transport options)
• High-value items such as certain jewellery or cash
• Heavy commercial machinery beyond domestic specification

If you are unsure, mention any unusual items during your survey so we can confirm what is possible and how best to handle them.

Our Step‑by‑Step Removals Process

We follow a clear, repeatable process to keep your Putney move organised and predictable.

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You contact us by phone, email or our online form with your moving details: current address, destination, property size and preferred dates. We provide an initial estimate and explain the options such as packing services, disassembly/reassembly and storage. There are no hidden extras – all charges are explained upfront.

2. Survey – Virtual or On‑Site

For anything beyond a very small move, we arrange a survey – either a video call walk‑through or an in‑person visit in Putney. This lets us assess access, volume of belongings, parking and any fragile or awkward items. The survey enables us to give an accurate fixed or capped price and plan the right crew size and vehicle.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – our team packs everything using strong boxes, export wrap and protective covers.
• Part packing – we pack fragile and high‑value items; you pack the rest.
• Self‑packing – you pack; we supply quality materials if required.

We can also dismantle beds, wardrobes and other flat‑pack furniture where needed and label items clearly to speed up re‑assembly.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the job with you and protects key areas such as doors, bannisters and floors. Items are loaded methodically, with furniture wrapped and secured. Your belongings are then transported in dedicated removals vehicles with goods in transit insurance in place.

5. Unloading, Placement & Re‑Assembly

At your new property, we place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify and re‑assemble any items we dismantled. We work with you to position larger pieces where you want them, so you are not left dragging heavy items around later. At the end, we do a final check to ensure nothing has been missed.

Transparent Pricing for Putney House Removals

We price each move based on clear, practical factors: property size, volume of goods, access, distance and level of service (packing, dismantling, storage etc.). Following your survey, you receive a written quotation setting out exactly what is included.

Our quotes typically show:

• Number of movers and vehicles
• Estimated hours or fixed-day rate
• Any packing services and materials
• Insurance cover included
• Any optional extras discussed

We do not add surprise charges on the day for standard circumstances. If something changes – such as move date or volume – we re‑confirm costs with you in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man‑and‑Van

Moving yourself or hiring a casual van can look cheaper at first glance, but it carries risks and often ends up more stressful and time‑consuming. With Putney Movers you benefit from:

• Trained staff used to lifting and manoeuvring heavy items safely.
• Proper protective equipment and materials to reduce damage.
• Fully insured services, including goods in transit and public liability.
• Reliable timings and planned parking, not guesswork.
• Efficient loading, meaning fewer trips and less time off work.

For most clients, the difference in cost between a professional move and a basic man‑and‑van is outweighed by reduced risk of damage, injury and last‑minute complications.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals company, we operate with clear coverage and standards to protect you and your belongings.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to property or third parties during the move.
• Trained moving teams – staff receive ongoing training in lifting techniques, packing methods and customer care.

We are happy to explain our insurance levels in detail and provide copies of certificates if required for your building management or letting agent.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if we were handling our own belongings. That means:

• Using mattress bags, sofa covers and export wrap for vulnerable items
• Protecting floors, staircases and doorways where needed
• Careful stacking and securing of loads inside vehicles

We also aim to reduce waste and environmental impact where possible by re‑using sturdy removal crates, offering box collection for re‑use, and planning efficient routes to minimise mileage. Whenever practical, we separate and responsibly dispose of unwanted household items on request.

Real‑World Moving Scenarios We Handle

Family House Moves

From Putney terraces to larger detached homes, we manage multi‑bedroom moves with full packing, careful handling of children’s belongings and coordination with completion times. We are used to working with busy families and fitting around school runs and work commitments.

Flat and Apartment Moves

We regularly move residents in Putney’s mansion blocks, modern developments and period conversions. We liaise with concierges, follow building rules, use lift protection where required and manage tight stairwells and parking restrictions calmly.

Office and Home‑Office Relocations

Small business and home‑office moves are handled with particular attention to IT equipment, files and continuity of work. We can move you outside normal working hours to limit downtime.

Urgent and Short‑Notice Moves

Last‑minute completion dates and tenancy changes do happen. Where our schedule allows, we offer urgent and even same‑day moves in Putney, with a streamlined survey and booking process to get you moved safely under time pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Putney cost?

Costs vary depending on property size, volume of belongings, access, distance and whether you add packing or storage. A small flat move within Putney might be a few hundred pounds, while a larger family home with full packing will be more. After a short phone discussion and survey, we provide a clear written quotation with no hidden extras for standard circumstances. This lets you see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the service level to suit your budget.

Can you handle same‑day or urgent moves?

Yes, we can often accommodate urgent or short‑notice moves in Putney, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If you have had a late exchange, a tenancy change or another unexpected deadline, call us as soon as possible. We will quickly assess your move, check vehicle and crew availability, and offer the most practical solution. In some cases this may involve a smaller team over a longer day or splitting packing and moving across two dates.

What insurance coverage do you provide?

All our moves include goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our vehicles, along with public liability cover for work on-site. These policies are designed to protect you against the most common risks during a move, subject to standard terms such as proper packing and declared values. We can talk you through the details, provide copies of our certificates, and advise when extra cover or declarations may be sensible for particularly high‑value or unusual items.

What is included in your removals service as standard?

As standard, our house removals service in Putney includes a trained team, a suitable removals vehicle, loading and unloading, protective coverings for key items and transport between addresses. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you choose and can dismantle or re‑assemble straightforward items by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or part packing services, supply of packing materials, storage, disposal of unwanted items and out‑of‑hours moves. Everything included for your specific job is listed clearly in your written quotation.

How is a professional removal different from a man‑and‑van?

A casual man‑and‑van typically offers transport only, often without formal training, insurance or planning. A professional removal with Putney Movers includes trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper protective equipment, systematic loading and clear documentation. We carry out surveys, plan access and parking, and allocate the right team size so the job is completed safely and efficiently. This reduces the risk of damage, injury, delays and extra costs that can occur when a move is under‑resourced or poorly organised.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, book your Putney removal 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for Fridays, month‑ends and peak moving periods. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice. Once you know roughly when you are moving, contact us so we can pencil in dates and carry out a survey. The earlier we are involved, the more choice you have on times and the easier it is to plan packing, parking and any building permissions required.
