Local Expertise: Removals in and Around Putney

Working in Putney day in, day out means we understand local roads, parking restrictions, building layouts and the quirks of different property types – from riverside apartments and Victorian terraces to mansion blocks and modern developments.

We regularly carry out moves in Putney, Southfields, Wandsworth, Fulham, Roehampton and across South West London. Our local knowledge helps us:

• Plan access for narrow streets and controlled parking zones
• Schedule moves to avoid peak traffic where possible
• Coordinate with building managers, concierges and estate agents
• Advise on parking suspensions where needed

This practical experience directly reduces the risk of delays and last‑minute problems on moving day.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

From studio flats to large family homes, we handle complete household removals, including delicate items, heavy furniture and outbuilding contents. We can stagger moves to align with completion times and keys being released.

Renters

We regularly help tenants move between rented properties in Putney, often on tight timescales. We pay close attention to stairwells, communal areas and wall protection to help you leave the property in good condition for check‑out.

Landlords

Landlords use our removals service to clear or part‑clear properties between tenancies, remove old furniture, or move items into storage. We work flexibly around cleaning and maintenance contractors.

Businesses

Our office and commercial removals cover small offices, shops and studios. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archives with minimal downtime, including out‑of‑hours and weekend moves by arrangement.

Students

We offer smaller‑scale moves ideal for students heading to or from Putney, halls or shared houses. We can combine moves to keep costs sensible and supply boxes in advance if needed.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, shelving
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (properly defrosted), cookers
• Boxes and loose items – books, clothing, kitchenware, ornaments
• Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment (suitably packed)
• Office equipment – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, printers
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, barbecues (clean and gas removed), tools

Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Prior Arrangement

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint, solvents

If you are unsure about a specific item, ask during your survey so we can advise or make appropriate arrangements.

Our Step‑by‑Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or through our website with the basic details of your move: current and new addresses, property type, approximate move date and what needs to be moved. We will discuss your requirements and provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey if the move is more complex.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most moves, we carry out a brief survey, either by video call or in person. This allows us to see access points, staircases, lifts and parking options, as well as the volume of goods. Accurate surveys mean we assign the right team size, vehicle and equipment, and can give you a clear written quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – we supply all materials and pack everything for you
• Partial packing – we pack fragile or specific items, you do the rest
• Self‑packing – you pack, and we simply move your boxes and furniture

We provide guidance on labelling and preparing appliances, wardrobes and outdoor items so everything is ready for loading on moving day.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our team arrives at the agreed time, walks through the job with you, and protects key areas as needed (e.g. banisters, doors, floors). Items are wrapped, padded and loaded systematically to minimise movement in transit. We then transport your belongings directly to your new property using appropriate routes and timings.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify, assembling items that we dismantled and positioning key pieces such as beds and sofas so you can settle quickly. We encourage a final walk‑through to ensure everything is where you want it before we leave.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Putney

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotations are based on:

• Volume of items to be moved (number of rooms, contents and furniture)
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle, parking)
• Travel distance between addresses
• Services required – packing, dismantling, materials, storage, etc.
• Day of the week and any out‑of‑hours requirements

Your written quote will itemise what is included so you can see exactly what you are paying for. If your circumstances change – for example, you add storage or extra items – we will explain any price adjustments in advance.

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

Hiring a professional removals company is about more than just a bigger van. With Putney Movers you benefit from:

• Trained staff who know how to handle heavy, awkward and fragile items safely
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, covers and tools
• Fully insured services with goods in transit and public liability cover
• Planned timing, vehicle allocation and route selection
• Compliance with UK transport and safety regulations

DIY moves and informal man‑and‑van services can seem cheaper, but often involve hidden costs such as vehicle hire, fuel, parking fines, damage to property, injuries and delays. A professional team reduces risk, protects your belongings and saves considerable time and effort.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. All removals carried out by Putney Movers are:

• Covered by goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are with us
• Protected by public liability insurance for work on your premises
• Undertaken by trained, experienced moving teams following established procedures

We maintain our vehicles regularly, use appropriate lifting techniques and equipment, and follow industry best practice to minimise the chance of damage or accidents. If an issue does occur, we deal with it promptly and transparently.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We know that many of the things we move have both financial and sentimental value. Our approach focuses on:

• Using padded blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and floor protection where needed
• Wrapping fragile items carefully and stacking boxes to avoid crushing
• Planning lift use and stairway movements to prevent scuffs and damage

We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact by:

• Re‑using strong cartons and protective materials where safe and hygienic
• Encouraging customers to return boxes for reuse where practical
• Planning efficient routes and vehicle loading to cut unnecessary journeys

Real‑World Removals Scenarios We Handle

Moving House in Putney

From first‑time buyers in converted flats to families upsizing to larger homes, we manage full house moves with attention to timing and coordination with estate agents and solicitors. We are used to working to completion day deadlines and can sequence loading and unloading around your key collection.

Office and Business Relocations

We help local businesses move within Putney and across London, planning moves to keep downtime to a minimum. This can include weekend moves, phased relocations, and careful handling of IT and confidential materials.

Urgent and Short‑Notice Moves

Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – a sale completes faster than planned, tenancy dates change or you face an urgent need to vacate. Where possible, we offer short‑notice and same‑day removals in Putney, allocating available crews and vehicles to get you moved safely and legally at speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Putney typically cost?

The cost depends on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access at each address and the distance travelled. A small local flat move may be just a few hours with a single vehicle, while a large family home or office relocation will require a bigger team and more time. We provide a clear written quotation after discussing your move or carrying out a survey, so you know the full cost in advance. There are no hidden extras as long as the agreed scope of work stays the same.

Can you handle same‑day or urgent removals?

Yes, where our schedule allows, we can provide same‑day or short‑notice removals in Putney and nearby areas. Availability depends on how many crews and vehicles are already booked, so it is always best to call us as early as possible. For urgent moves, we focus on the essentials first – getting you safely out of one property and into the next – and can arrange follow‑up services such as unpacking or additional trips if required. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable in the time.

What insurance cover is included with your removals service?

All moves with Putney Movers are covered by our goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being moved and transported by us, and by public liability insurance for work carried out at your properties. This is separate from any cover you may have under your own home or business insurance. During the quotation stage we will outline our insurance details and limitations, and you are welcome to ask for clarification or to check specific high‑value items. We operate to minimise risk, but insurance provides added reassurance.

What exactly is included in a removals service?

Our standard removals service includes provision of the removals vehicle, a trained moving team, protective equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading at your new property. We place items into the rooms you specify and reassemble furniture we have dismantled. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, storage, and disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. Your quotation will clearly state what is and is not included, so there is no confusion on moving day.

How is a professional removals company different from a man‑and‑van?

A casual man‑and‑van service may be suitable for very small, simple moves, but it rarely offers the same level of planning, protection and accountability. As a professional removals company, we provide trained staff, fully insured services, appropriate vehicles, proper equipment and systematic processes. We survey your property where needed, assess access and risk, and give a written quote. If something goes wrong, there are clear procedures for putting it right. For most home and office moves, this level of professionalism significantly reduces stress and the chance of damage.

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

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a likely move date, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, at month‑end, or during busy periods such as summer. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for larger home moves, but we often accommodate moves with shorter lead times. If your date is not yet confirmed, we can pencil you in and firm things up once contracts are exchanged or tenancy agreements are signed. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we can offer on timings and services.
