We offer:

• Full home removals – flats, maisonettes and houses of all sizes

• Student moves – term-time and end-of-lease relocations

Every move is planned around your property, access, parking and timing, so we can allocate the right number of movers, vans and protective materials.

Local Removal Specialists in Putney

Based in Putney, we know the area’s streets, parking restrictions and building layouts very well. From riverfront apartments and Victorian terraces to modern developments and offices on Upper Richmond Road, we understand the typical access challenges and how to plan for them.

We regularly work with local estate agents, landlords and building managers, which helps us coordinate moves efficiently and keep disruption to neighbours to a minimum. If you are moving into or out of Putney, or between nearby areas such as Wandsworth, Fulham, Roehampton or Barnes, we can advise on realistic timings and the best approach.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving from or to a house in Putney? We handle full household contents, including gardens, sheds and outbuildings. We can provide dismantling and reassembly for larger furniture, and careful protection for staircases and flooring.

Renters

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving for work, we offer flexible, cost-effective moves for tenants. We are used to dealing with tight stairwells, lift access, loading bays and building rules in blocks of flats.

Landlords

We support landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished removals and quick turnarounds between lets. We can coordinate directly with you or your managing agent to keep things simple.

Businesses

Our commercial removals cover small offices, shops and studios. We plan around your trading hours to reduce downtime and can move IT, files, stock and furniture with proper labelling and protection.

Students

For students moving between halls, flats or returning home, we offer smaller, budget-friendly moves with the same level of care. Ideal for term-end clear-outs and relocations in and around Putney and central London.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected in advance)
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
• Office furniture – desks, chairs, storage units and filing cabinets
• IT equipment – computers, monitors, printers and small servers
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, bikes, barbecues (cleaned and empty)

Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paints and solvents

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, we will clarify during the survey so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: where you are moving from and to, the type of property, rough volume of items and your preferred dates. We provide an initial estimate or arrange a more detailed survey if the move is larger or more complex. All quotes are free and no-obligation.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most moves, we carry out a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to see access, parking, stairs, lifts and everything that needs to be moved. We can then confirm the correct size of vehicle, number of movers and estimated time. Surveys help keep costs accurate and reduce the risk of delays on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. If we are packing, we arrive with all materials: boxes, tape, paper and protective wrapping. Fragile items are wrapped and boxed carefully, and furniture is protected with blankets, covers and, where appropriate, disassembled for safe transport.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time. We protect floors and walls where needed, then load systematically, securing items with straps and blankets. Your goods are transported in well-maintained vans, driven by experienced drivers familiar with Putney and London roads.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is reassembled where agreed, and we position larger items so you can settle in more quickly. If we provided a packing service, we can also assist with basic unpacking and removal of used packing materials.

Transparent Pricing and How We Charge

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our removal quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods and type of property
• Access and distance between addresses
• Number of movers and size of vehicle required
• Additional services such as packing, materials and furniture assembly

Smaller moves may be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger home and office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price. We explain exactly what is included so you can compare us fairly with other removal companies. There are no hidden charges for standard work agreed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company is about more than lifting heavy items. Our trained teams know how to plan a move, protect belongings, and work efficiently under pressure. We bring trolleys, dollies, straps, blankets and tools, and we know how to use them safely.

DIY moves or casual man-and-van services can seem cheaper but often result in longer days, extra trips, damage to furniture or properties, and increased stress. With us, your goods are covered by insurance, handled by experienced movers, and transported in suitable vehicles. This reduces risk, saves time and helps your move run calmly and predictably.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Every move we carry out is backed by appropriate insurance and working practices:

• Goods in transit insurance – protection for your belongings while they are being moved
• Public liability cover – in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury
• Trained moving teams – staff shown how to lift correctly, protect items and work safely

We follow sensible risk assessments, use suitable equipment, and plan routes and timings carefully. You receive confirmation of your booking, agreed arrival times and a clear point of contact throughout.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped in blankets or specialist covers, fragile items are carefully boxed, and we take care not to mark walls, doors or floors. On multi-storey moves, we plan lift usage or stair protection in advance.

We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact where possible by:

• Reusing strong, clean boxes and packing materials where appropriate
• Offering collection of reusable boxes after your move (by arrangement)
• Planning efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage

Where unwanted items are in good condition, we can advise on local charities and reuse options in and around Putney.

Common Use Cases in Putney

Moving House

We regularly manage full home moves in and out of Putney, including chain-dependent completions. We understand timing around key handovers and aim to load and be ready for access to your new property when you are.

Office Relocations

For offices, studios and clinics, we can move outside of normal working hours to minimise disruption. Careful labelling and planning helps your team get back up and running quickly in the new space.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up at short notice – a tenancy ending, a completion date brought forward, or urgent works at your property. Where we have availability, we can provide same-day or next-day removals in Putney and surrounding areas, with realistic timeframes and honest communication.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal company in Putney cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your move, access and distance. Smaller flat moves within Putney may be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. The quote will reflect the number of movers, size of vehicle, travel time and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. We provide clear written estimates so you know exactly what is included before you decide to go ahead.

Can you do same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, where our schedule allows, we can handle same-day or short-notice moves in Putney and nearby areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, the size of your move and the distance involved. For urgent jobs, we will quickly assess what is required, confirm whether we can reasonably complete the work, and give you a realistic time of arrival. It is always best to call as early in the day as possible so we can check van and crew availability and offer you the most suitable option.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability insurance. This is designed to give you extra peace of mind in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. During your booking, we will explain the main terms, any limits or exclusions, and how to highlight particularly valuable or fragile items. We also focus on careful packing, lifting and securing items so that insurance is rarely needed.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes loading your belongings, transporting them to your new address and unloading them into the rooms you specify. We provide the van, professional movers, protective blankets and basic equipment such as trolleys and straps. At your request, we can add packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disposal of used packing materials. Everything that is included will be itemised in your quote so you have a full, clear picture before the move day.

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

A professional removals company offers more structure, protection and accountability. We carry appropriate insurance, use trained staff, plan your move in detail and bring the right equipment for heavy or awkward items. A casual man-and-van may not survey your property, may lack proper insurance or protective materials, and can struggle if access is difficult or the job is larger than expected. With us, you receive a written quote, confirmed timings and a coordinated team focused on completing your move safely and efficiently.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For the best choice of dates, especially at weekends or month-end, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date – ideally two to three weeks ahead. However, we understand that in practice dates can change, particularly with property chains, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If your move is urgent, contact us and we will check our diary for the nearest available slot. The earlier you get in touch, the easier it is for us to allocate the right team and vehicle for your move.
