Local Removal Van Experts in Putney

Working in Putney every day means we understand local streets, parking restrictions, access issues and building layouts. From riverside flats and mansion blocks to terraced houses and offices along the High Street, we know how to plan a move that works around tight staircases, loading bays and time-limited parking.

We liaise with you in advance about permits, loading times and building rules, so your move with our removal van Putney team runs smoothly and without last-minute surprises.

Who Our Removal Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating across London, our removal vans are ideal for full house moves or partial loads. We protect furniture, carefully load fragile items and make sure everything is placed in the correct rooms at your new property.

Renters

Tenants moving between rented properties in or out of Putney often need a reliable move within a specific time window. We work around key handover times and building rules, helping you avoid delays and extra fees from landlords or agents.

Landlords

Landlords use our professional removal vans to clear or part-clear properties between tenancies, remove unwanted furniture, or install new items ready for incoming tenants. We can work to tight turnaround times where required.

Businesses

From small local offices to larger commercial spaces, we move desks, chairs, filing, stock and IT equipment efficiently. We can schedule work outside standard office hours where possible, helping to minimise downtime for your team.

Students

Students moving to or from Putney, Roehampton and surrounding areas benefit from a compact, cost-effective removal van service. We can combine small loads, offer off-peak moves and help with awkward items such as bikes and flat-pack furniture.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with your moving details – addresses, dates, property size and any special requirements. We ask a few practical questions and provide an initial quote, usually the same day. Our pricing is straightforward and clearly explained, with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a small move, we recommend a short survey. This may be virtual (video call and photos) or an onsite visit in Putney. The survey lets us confirm access, volume of belongings, parking, and any fragile or heavy items. It ensures the correct size removal van and the right number of movers are allocated.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – we supply materials and our trained team packs everything carefully for you.
• Part packing – we pack fragile or high-risk items, you pack the rest.
• Self-packing – you pack using your own or our supplied materials.

We label boxes clearly and agree a plan for furniture disassembly where needed.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional crew arrives on time, completes a brief walkthrough and begins loading. We use blankets, straps and protective covers for furniture, and take care on stairs, in lifts and through doorways. Once everything is safely loaded, we transport it directly to your new address using our GPS-routed vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is reassembled where agreed, and we place boxes so that you can unpack in a logical order. Before leaving, we check you are satisfied that all listed items have arrived and are in good condition.

Transparent Pricing for Removal Van Hire in Putney

We aim to keep pricing clear and predictable. Quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and number of vans needed
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance and access complexity
• Optional services – packing, materials, storage
• Time of week and year (for example, weekends or peak moving periods)

For smaller moves we may offer a simple hourly rate with a minimum booking period; for larger moves we usually provide a fixed price. All costs are confirmed in writing before you book, so you know exactly what is included.

Why Choose Professional Removal Vans Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but often leads to extra time, damage and stress. With Putney Movers you get:

• Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and load safely
• Appropriate equipment and protection to prevent damage
• Fully insured vehicles and cover for your belongings in transit
• Reliable timings and properly planned routes
• Support with parking, access and building rules

This reduces the risk of injury, vehicle issues, broken items and unexpected costs that often come with a DIY or informal move.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We operate to high standards so you can have confidence in every move:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to terms.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move.
• Trained moving teams – our staff receive ongoing training in handling, packing, loading and customer care.

We also maintain clean, regularly serviced vehicles and follow best practice in lifting, risk assessment and on-site safety.

Care, Protection and a Sustainable Approach

Every move is treated as if it were our own property. We use padded furniture covers, floor protection and high-quality blankets to reduce the risk of scratches or knocks. Boxes are stacked correctly and secured in the van so nothing shifts during transport.

We take a practical approach to sustainability by reusing sturdy packing materials where suitable, offering reusable crates for some moves, and planning efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage. Where possible, we recommend responsible recycling or donation of unwanted items rather than disposal.

Real-World Uses of Our Removal Van Service in Putney

Moving House

From studio flats to family homes, our vans handle everything from single trips to multi-van, multi-day moves. We are used to dealing with tight staircases, basement entrances and top-floor flats across Putney and the wider area.

Office Relocations

We help businesses move within Putney or to other parts of London, planning around working hours and IT schedules. Our teams label and place furniture and boxes to match your new layout, helping your staff settle in quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up at short notice – a buyer wants a fast completion, a tenancy ends early, or you are let down by another provider. If we have availability, we can provide a same-day or next-day removal van, giving you a reliable solution when you most need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal van in Putney cost?

The cost depends on the size of your move, the distance involved, access at each property and any extra services such as packing. Smaller flat or student moves may be priced on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we know what needs moving and when, we provide a clear written quote with all charges explained, so you can budget confidently without worrying about hidden extras.

Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?

Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice removal van services in Putney and nearby areas. Availability will depend on how many crews are already booked and the size of your move. For smaller or local jobs, it is often easier to accommodate urgent requests. If you need a fast turnaround, contact us as early as possible with your details; we will be honest about what we can achieve and agree realistic timings before you commit to anything.

What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?

We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits. We also carry public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage to buildings or third-party property during the move. We will explain the key points of cover when you book, including any exclusions or limits for particularly fragile or high-value items, so that you can decide whether you need any additional specialist insurance of your own.

What is included in your removal van service?

Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, a trained moving team, protective blankets and covers, loading at your old address, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you choose at your new property. We can also add packing, unpacking, furniture disassembly/reassembly and provision of packing materials if required. Parking arrangements and permits are usually the customer’s responsibility, but we are happy to advise based on local experience in Putney, and we plan timings carefully to keep everything running smoothly.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While a casual man-and-van may suit very small, low-risk moves, our service is structured, fully insured and designed for reliability. You get a confirmed booking, clearly defined arrival window, an appropriately sized van, and a properly equipped, professional crew. We carry insurance, use protective materials, and carry out surveys for larger jobs to prevent problems on the day. This reduces the chance of damage, delays or cancellations and gives you a much higher level of accountability from start to finish.

How far in advance should I book a removal van?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your Putney removal van as soon as you know your moving window, ideally 2–4 weeks in advance. Peak times such as month-end, Fridays and school holidays tend to fill quickly. That said, we understand that moves do not always go to plan, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Early contact also gives us more time to arrange surveys, packing and any special access requirements.
