As an experienced removals company, we focus on careful planning, clear communication and respectful handling of your belongings, so your move runs smoothly from first enquiry to final placement of furniture.

Professional Removal Company Services in Putney

Our team handles moves of all sizes, from small flats to large family homes and busy offices. As a dedicated removals company, we bring the vehicles, equipment and trained staff needed to move your items safely and efficiently, whether you are moving around Putney or across the UK.

Every move includes a structured plan, protective materials and a clear point of contact, so you always know what will happen and when. We aim to reduce stress on moving day by taking ownership of the heavy lifting, logistics and timings.

Local Putney Expertise

Working day in, day out in SW15 means we understand local traffic patterns, parking restrictions, building access issues and the quirks of Putney’s period properties and riverside developments. We regularly move clients in and out of mansion blocks, townhouses, new-build apartments and commercial spaces along the Upper Richmond Road, Putney High Street and surrounding areas.

This local knowledge helps us choose the right vehicle sizes, request parking suspensions where needed, and plan realistic timings so your move stays on track.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we handle full house removals, including furniture dismantling and reassembly, careful packing and secure transport of valuable or fragile items.

Renters

From studio flats to multi-bedroom rentals, we offer flexible services to suit your tenancy dates, lift access and building rules. We can work around tight move-out deadlines and provide professional packing when time is short.

Landlords

We assist landlords with clear-out moves, part-furnished property changes and furniture swaps between rentals. Items are handled carefully to minimise damage and disruption to neighbours and building common areas.

Our commercial removals team manages office and retail relocations with minimal downtime. We move desks, IT equipment, stock and archives, and can schedule work outside of normal hours where required.

Students

For student moves in and out of Putney and nearby universities, we offer smaller, cost-effective removals for bedrooms, shared flats and student halls, with clear pricing and flexible slots around term dates.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: addresses, property type, key dates and an outline of what needs moving. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, based on the volume of goods, access, distance and any additional services such as packing or dismantling.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit. We assess access (stairs, lifts, parking), the volume of items and special requirements. This ensures the right-sized team, vehicle and equipment, and helps avoid surprises on moving day.

3. Packing & Preparation

Depending on your choice, we can provide:

• Full packing service – we pack everything, supply materials and label boxes
• Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items only
• Self-packing – you pack, and we supply boxes and materials if required

Furniture that requires dismantling is taken apart carefully and components are kept together for reassembly at your new property.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and begins loading. Floors, doors and bannisters are protected as needed, and items are wrapped and secured in our vehicles. We then transport your belongings directly to your new address, using efficient and safe driving practices.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Any furniture we dismantled is reassembled. We carry out a final check with you before leaving, ensuring everything is where you want it and that you are satisfied with the service.

Transparent Pricing and How Costs Are Calculated

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. The cost of your move is based on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Travel distance between addresses
• Access (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking restrictions)
• Level of service (e.g. full packing service, dismantling/reassembly)
• Timing (weekdays vs weekends, out-of-hours requirements)

We provide fixed-price quotes wherever possible, so you know in advance what you will pay. Any potential additional charges (such as waiting time due to delayed key release) are explained clearly before you book.

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

While a DIY move or casual man-and-van might appear cheaper, it often comes with hidden costs and risks. As a dedicated removals company, we provide:

• Trained staff who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
• Proper moving equipment, blankets, trolleys and straps
• Suitable, well-maintained vehicles designed for removals
• Reliable timings and confirmed bookings
• Formal contracts and clear terms

This reduces the risk of injury, damage to belongings or property, and last-minute cancellations. In many cases, professional removals represent better overall value once time, stress and potential breakages are taken into account.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Putney Movers operates with robust insurance and high working standards to protect you and your belongings.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property while we are working at your home or business.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are trained in lifting techniques, packing methods and safe loading to minimise risk and damage.

All work is carried out according to recognised industry practices, with clear documentation and itemised quotes.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to protect both your belongings and your property. This includes the use of protective blankets, specialist wraps, mattress covers and, where appropriate, floor and bannister protection. Fragile items are wrapped and positioned securely in the vehicle to avoid movement in transit.

We are also working steadily to reduce our environmental impact by reusing sturdy boxes where possible, responsibly recycling materials, optimising routes to cut unnecessary mileage, and maintaining our vehicles to run as cleanly and efficiently as possible.

Real-World Removal Scenarios We Handle

Moving House in Putney

Typical house moves involve full contents from a flat, terrace or detached property, often with tight completion deadlines. We coordinate with your schedules, manage key collection times and provide enough staff to complete the move efficiently within the day.

Office and Commercial Relocations

For offices, clinics, retail units and other businesses, we plan carefully around opening hours. IT equipment and important documents are handled securely, and we label crates and furniture so everything ends up in the right department or room at your new premises.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves cannot be planned months in advance. Where our schedule allows, we offer short-notice or same-day removals within Putney and nearby areas. We focus on the essentials, ensuring your key items are moved safely and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal company in Putney cost?

The cost depends on several factors: property size, volume of belongings, distance between addresses, access issues and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller flat moves within Putney are usually at the lower end, while larger family homes or long-distance relocations will cost more. We prefer to carry out a short survey so we can give a fixed-price quote rather than an estimate. This way, you know exactly what to budget for and there are no surprises on moving day.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice removals in Putney and surrounding areas. Availability will depend on the size of your move, how far you are travelling and whether you require packing. For very urgent moves, we may focus on essential items first and arrange a follow-up trip if needed. It is always best to call us as soon as you know you need to move, so we can advise realistically on what is possible and reserve a slot if we can help.

What insurance cover do you provide?

We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our vehicles, as well as public liability cover for work at your properties. These policies are designed to protect against unforeseen events, subject to standard terms and exclusions, which we are happy to outline in writing. We still handle your items as if they were our own, using professional packing and lifting techniques to minimise the chance of any damage in the first place.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes a dedicated vehicle, a trained moving team, loading, transport and unloading of your belongings, plus basic protection such as blankets and securing straps. We place items into the rooms you specify at your new property. Optional extras include full packing service, part packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture and out-of-hours moves. Everything that is included in your particular move will be clearly listed on your quotation so you know exactly what to expect.

How is a professional removal company different from a man-and-van?

A man-and-van service may suit very small moves, but it often lacks formal insurance, trained crews and dedicated moving equipment. As a professional removal company, we provide written quotes, structured planning, trained staff, appropriate vehicles and proper protection for your belongings and property. This significantly reduces the risk of damage or delays. For most full home or office moves, using a professional removals company offers better reliability, accountability and overall value compared to an informal man-and-van arrangement.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are completing a property purchase. For peak periods such as Fridays, month-ends and summer, two to four weeks’ notice is sensible. That said, we understand dates can change, so we try to be flexible where possible. If your move is last-minute, contact us and we will check availability; we can often still help, particularly for smaller moves or midweek slots.
