Who Our Putney Removal Services Are For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of London altogether, we regularly move families from terraced houses, riverside apartments and larger homes around Putney. We handle awkward staircases, tight hallways and permit parking so you do not have to.

Renters

If you are moving between rented flats, house shares or studios, we can offer cost-effective removal services that are sized to your load. We work carefully to avoid damage to walls, floors and communal areas, helping you protect your deposit.

Landlords

We support landlords and letting agents with tenant changeovers, end-of-tenancy clear moves and part-furnished removals. We can move, store or re-position furniture between properties and work to tight timeframes between tenancies.

Businesses

Offices, shops and small businesses in Putney rely on us for tidy, well-planned moves with minimal downtime. We can relocate workstations, archive files, IT equipment and stock, including out-of-hours moves if required.

Students

Students moving to or from halls or shared houses benefit from our smaller-load services. We offer efficient, budget-friendly moves for term-time relocations, including assistance with stairs and heavy suitcases.

Local Expertise in Putney

Working day in, day out in SW15 means we know the area extremely well. From Putney High Street and the Embankment to Upper Richmond Road and the surrounding residential streets, we understand:

• Local parking rules and permits for our vehicles
• Typical building layouts – mansion blocks, conversions and new-builds
• Busy times and best access routes to avoid delays

This local knowledge allows us to plan realistic arrival windows, secure appropriate parking and avoid common hold-ups, giving you a smoother, more predictable moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & quote

Contact us by phone or online with the basic details of your move: addresses, property type, key dates and any special items. We will ask a few focussed questions to understand the size and complexity of your move, then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate.

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 in Putney. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and item volumes, then confirm the crew size, vehicle type, time required and any packing needs.

3. Packing & preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – we bring all materials, pack everything, label boxes and prepare fragile items.
• Part packing – we pack breakables and awkward items; you handle the simpler bits.
• Self-pack – you pack; we supply quality boxes and materials on request.

On move day, we protect floors, doors and banisters and dismantle large furniture if needed.

4. Loading & transport

Our trained team loads your belongings systematically, securing everything inside the vehicle with straps and transit blankets. We use trolleys and lifting equipment to move heavy or bulky items safely. Your goods are moved in purpose-built removal vehicles under our goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & placement

At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble furniture we dismantled and position large pieces where you want them. Once everything is off the vehicle, we carry out a final walk-through with you to check that nothing has been missed.

Transparent Pricing for Removal Services

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no surprises. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods and number of rooms
• Access and distance between addresses
• Required crew size and estimated time
• Optional extras such as packing services or materials

Your written quote will clearly show what is included so you can compare like-for-like. If your circumstances change – for example, additional items or a different date – we will update the quote and explain any price difference in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removal company is usually more cost-effective and much safer than doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van service. With Putney Movers you benefit from:

• Professional planning – we anticipate access issues, timings and parking needs
• Trained staff – experienced in lifting, packing and protecting possessions
• Correct equipment – removal vehicles, blankets, straps, dollies and tools
• Fully insured cover – for your belongings and your property
• Reliable timings – booked slots and confirmed arrival windows

DIY moves often lead to multiple trips, damaged items, strained backs and unexpected costs. A casual man-and-van may not offer written quotes, insurance or a properly trained team, which can be risky for valuable or sentimental belongings.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously and work to recognised industry standards.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or third parties.
• Trained moving teams – our crews are experienced in safe handling, packing and load securing.

We are happy to discuss the details of our cover and can provide documentation on request. For particularly high-value items, we can advise on additional cover if needed.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your belongings and the environment is at the heart of how we work. We use quality protective materials such as padded covers, mattress bags and furniture blankets to prevent scuffs and scratches. Floors and bannisters are protected where necessary, and we always aim to minimise disturbance to neighbours and communal areas.

Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials and offer the option to collect boxes after your move so they can be used again. We plan efficient routes to reduce mileage and emissions and maintain our vehicles regularly to keep them running cleanly and reliably.

Real-World Removal Scenarios We Handle

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal services in Putney cost?

The cost depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, access at each property, distance between addresses and whether you need packing services. Smaller flat moves within Putney are usually charged on a fixed price or minimum-hours basis, while larger house moves are priced individually after a survey. To give you an accurate figure, we ask a few detailed questions or arrange a quick visit. All quotes are itemised and transparent, so you know exactly what is included before you book.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice removals in Putney, depending on our schedule and the size of the move. Smaller flat or student moves are easier to arrange urgently than large house moves, which require more planning and staff. If you are working to a tight deadline, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will check availability, explain what is realistically achievable and provide a clear price so you can decide how to proceed.

What insurance cover do you provide?

Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care and being moved in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. Our team is trained to minimise risk, using proper lifting techniques, secure loading and protective materials. We can provide policy summaries on request, and if you have particularly high-value or delicate items, we are happy to discuss them in advance and advise on any extra protection you may wish to arrange.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes a professional team, removal vehicle, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We protect furniture with blankets and covers and can dismantle and reassemble standard items such as beds and tables by prior agreement. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials and disposal or recycling of used boxes afterwards. Your written quote will set out exactly what is included so there are no surprises on move day.

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

A professional removal service like ours offers trained staff, fully insured cover, purpose-built vehicles and a structured process from survey to completion. We plan around access, parking, timing and item protection, and we provide written quotes and confirmations. A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-value moves, but often lacks formal insurance, proper packing materials and experience with complex or heavy items. For most home and office moves, professional removals provide better protection, reliability and overall value.

How far in advance should I book my removal in Putney?

We recommend booking your removal as soon as you have a likely move date, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during school holidays – all popular times. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for most moves, allowing time for surveys, parking arrangements and packing. However, we regularly handle moves with shorter notice when our schedule allows. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, it is worth speaking to us early so we can pencil you in and advise on next steps.
