Our Removals Service in Putney

We handle every stage of your move, from initial survey and packing through to safe transport, unloading and furniture placement. Whether you are moving a studio flat, a large family home or an office, our professional team manages the heavy lifting, logistics and protection of your belongings.

We regularly move clients around Putney, from riverside apartments and period terraces off the Lower Richmond Road, to family homes near Putney Heath and small offices close to Putney High Street and the station. Our local knowledge helps us plan the best routes and timings, especially with local parking and access restrictions.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we manage full household moves, including furniture disassembly/assembly and careful protection of higher value items. We can also coordinate with your completion time so you are not left waiting in the street with a full van.

Renters

From one-bed flats to shared houses, we offer flexible services for tenants, including evening and weekend moves where required. We understand the pressure of check-out inspections and focus on leaving your old property clear and tidy, and your belongings safely in your new home.

Landlords

We assist landlords and managing agents with quick, efficient removals when properties need to be cleared between tenancies, during refurbishments or after notice has been served. We can remove furniture, white goods and boxed items, and liaise with cleaners or trades where necessary.

Businesses

Our office removals and small business moves are planned to minimise disruption. We move desks, filing, IT equipment, stock and archive materials, and can work outside normal office hours to keep your operations running smoothly.

Students

For students moving into or out of halls, shared houses or small flats in and around Putney, we provide cost-effective, smaller-scale moves. We can handle boxed belongings, bags, small furniture and bikes, with clear upfront pricing so there are no surprises.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs, cabinets
• Kitchen appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (if safely disconnected)
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, audio equipment
• Personal belongings – clothing, books, ornaments, pictures, general contents
• Office furniture and equipment – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, photocopiers
• Garage and garden items – tools, boxed items, outdoor furniture, bikes

Items Usually Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangement

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

• Plants for long-distance or international moves where restrictions apply

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will discuss it during the survey so there are no issues on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few questions about your current property, destination, access, approximate volume of belongings and preferred moving date. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate and discuss what level of service you need, from basic loading and transport through to full packing.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most moves, we recommend a survey. This can be a video call walk-through or an onsite visit in Putney and surrounding areas. We assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking, narrow doorways), fragile or bulky items and any disassembly required. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, team size, materials and time, and to give you a clear, written quote.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer a range of packing services:

• Full packing – we pack the entire property using quality boxes, wrapping and protective materials.
• Part packing – we pack fragile or valuable items (e.g. kitchen glassware, artwork, mirrors) and you pack the rest.
• Self pack – you pack, and we supply materials if requested.

On packing day, we label boxes clearly by room and content, use protective covers for mattresses, sofas and other upholstery, and protect carpets and floors where needed.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained removals team arrives at the agreed time, carries out a quick walkthrough and then begins loading systematically. We use blankets, straps and appropriate stacking techniques to keep items secure in transit. Our vehicles are well maintained and suitable for London streets. For local Putney moves, we plan routes to avoid unnecessary delays and low-bridge or width restrictions where possible.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload carefully, placing items in the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled and position larger pieces where you want them. We remove used packing materials we have supplied, leaving your new home or office as clear as reasonably possible so you can start settling in straight away.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

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

• Volume of goods (number of rooms and items)
• Distance between properties
• Access at both addresses (stairs, parking, long carries)
• Level of service (e.g. full packing vs transport only)
• Any special items or extra labour required

Once we have carried out a survey and confirmed your requirements, we provide a written quote outlining what is included, any optional extras and our terms. There are no hidden charges for standard work; any potential additional costs (such as waiting time linked to key release) are explained in advance.

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

Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van can appear cheaper, but often leads to lost time, breakages and unnecessary stress. As a professional removals company:

• We use trained teams who know how to lift, protect and stack items safely.
• We provide goods in transit insurance, giving you protection if something goes wrong.
• We plan ahead, reducing the risk of delays caused by poor access or parking.
• We bring the right equipment – trolleys, blankets, covers and tools for dismantling.
• We are fully insured and accountable, operating to recognised standards.

In many cases, by the time you factor in van hire, fuel, materials, time off work and the risk of damage, a well-managed professional move offers far better value and peace of mind.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and operate with full, appropriate cover:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles, subject to policy terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover – protecting you and third parties in case of accidental damage to property or injury caused by our work.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are trained in safe lifting techniques, protective packing and secure loading.

We provide details of our insurance and terms on request and are happy to explain how cover applies to your particular move, including any limits, exclusions or requirements you should be aware of.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and property as if they were our own. We use suitable protection for furniture, banisters, doors and floors, and take time to plan the best way to move awkward or fragile items. Where appropriate, we encourage reuse of packaging and can provide reusable crates for certain commercial moves.

We also aim to reduce unnecessary waste. Where boxes are still in good condition, we can often collect and reuse them. Our vehicles are maintained for efficiency, helping to minimise emissions, particularly on regular local routes around Putney and neighbouring areas.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House Within Putney

From a flat near Putney Bridge to a house near the Common, we manage the complete move, including packing, dismantling beds and wardrobes, and reassembling everything in your new home the same day.

Office Relocation

A small firm moving from a serviced office near Putney mainline station to larger premises in Wandsworth can rely on us for an out-of-hours move, protecting IT equipment, labelling crates by department and ensuring desks and chairs are ready for staff the next working day.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves are unplanned – a tenancy ending earlier than expected or an urgent completion date. Where we have availability, we can arrange short-notice or same-day moves, scaling the team to complete the work safely within the time available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal in Putney typically cost?

The cost of a removal in Putney depends on volume, distance, access and the level of service you choose. A small local flat move with straightforward access will cost less than a large family home with packing included and multiple flights of stairs. After a survey, we provide a fixed quote detailing what is included so you can budget accurately. We are happy to discuss different options, such as you doing some or all of the packing, to keep within your preferred budget.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

We can often accommodate urgent or short-notice moves, including same-day work, depending on existing bookings and the size of the job. Smaller flat moves are usually easier to schedule at short notice, while larger house and office relocations may require at least some planning time. If you have an urgent situation, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We will be honest about our availability and, if we can help, we will agree a clear plan so you know exactly what to expect.

What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?

We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles, along with public liability cover for accidental damage or injury caused by our work. These policies operate under specific terms, limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain in plain language. We always recommend that you also keep your own home or business insurance in place, and that you inform your insurer about the move, particularly for very high-value individual items.

What is included in your removals service as standard?

As standard, our removals service includes a trained team, the vehicle, loading, safe transport, unloading and placing items into the appropriate rooms. We protect furniture with blankets and use straps and proper stacking methods in the vehicle. Packing, materials, dismantling/assembly of furniture and disposal of unwanted items can usually be added as optional services. Your written quote will clearly state what is included for your particular move, so there is no confusion on the day.

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

A casual man-and-van service is often just a vehicle and one or two labourers, with limited or no insurance and little planning. As a professional removals company, we carry out surveys, provide written quotes, supply the right team size, and hold full insurance. Our staff are trained to protect property and belongings, manage access challenges and handle fragile or bulky items. While we may not always be the cheapest option, we offer significantly more protection, organisation and reliability, which most clients value on moving day.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For most moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely moving window, especially if you are aiming for a Friday or month-end, which are very popular. Two to four weeks’ notice usually gives us the best chance of offering your ideal date and time. That said, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change, so we remain as flexible as possible. If your move is last-minute, contact us – we will always see what we can do within our existing schedule.
