Local Expertise in Putney and South West London

Working in Putney every day means we understand local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts. From riverfront apartments and period terraces off the Upper Richmond Road to mansion blocks and cul-de-sacs near Putney Heath, we know the common access challenges and how to plan around them.

We regularly liaise with local councils and building managers regarding parking suspensions, lift access and loading bays, helping to prevent delays on moving day.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we provide a structured move with clear timings, protection for high-value items and coordinated work with your completion date.

Renters

For tenants moving between rented properties, we focus on careful handling to avoid wall or floor damage, and can offer weekend or evening slots to minimise time off work.

Landlords

We assist landlords and agents with part-clearance and removals when tenancies change, keeping void periods as short as possible and ensuring properties are ready for new occupants.

Businesses

Our office removals are planned to reduce downtime. We move desks, IT equipment, stock and files in a structured order so your team can get back to work quickly.

Students

We provide cost-conscious student removals for halls and shared houses, ideal for start and end of term moves with smaller loads and flexible timings.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• All household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (defrosted), cookers
• Boxed contents – clothes, books, kitchenware, personal belongings
• Office furniture – desks, filing cabinets, meeting tables, chairs
• IT and electronics – computers, screens, printers, TVs and audio equipment

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

You contact us with basic details: addresses, property type, number of rooms and approximate move date. We provide an initial estimate and outline the options available, including packing and dismantling services.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most moves we complete a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to understand access, volume of belongings, parking, and any fragile or bulky items. Accurate surveys mean accurate quotes and the right size team and vehicle on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – our team packs everything using professional materials.
• Part packing – we pack fragile or high-value items; you pack the rest.
• Self packing – we supply quality boxes and materials, and you pack.

We can also dismantle and reassemble furniture where needed.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, protects floors and bannisters, and loads the vehicle methodically. Everything is secured for transport, and our modern fleet is covered by goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. Items we dismantled are reassembled, and we perform a final walkthrough with you to confirm everything is in the right place before we leave.

Transparent Pricing and How We Charge

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Distance between properties
• Access and parking complexity
• Size of team and vehicles required
• Optional services such as packing and dismantling

All anticipated costs are explained in writing before you book. If your requirements change, we update the quotation so you always know where you stand.

Why Use a Professional Removal Company Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removal company like Putney Removals reduces risk, effort and disruption. Our trained crews know how to move heavy and fragile items safely, protecting both your belongings and your property. We provide suitable vehicles, protective blankets, trolleys and straps, and we are fully insured – something informal man-and-van services may not offer.

DIY moves often involve multiple trips, last-minute issues with parking, and a high chance of damage or injury. A professionally planned move is typically quicker, safer and *less stressful overall*.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your possessions are important, both financially and emotionally. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – to cover your items while being moved
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property
• Trained moving teams – experienced in safe lifting and packing

We follow recognised industry best practice for packing, loading and vehicle operation, and our team leaders are experienced in managing moves in busy London locations.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item with care, using high-quality materials such as double-walled boxes, furniture blankets, mattress covers and TV protection. Floors, staircases and doorways are protected wherever necessary to prevent scuffs and scratches.

We are also mindful of sustainability. We encourage reuse of cartons where appropriate, minimise unnecessary journeys through careful planning, and can collect used boxes for responsible recycling when your move is complete.

Real-World Uses of Our Removal Services

Moving House in Putney

From compact riverside flats to large family homes, we coordinate every stage so completion days run smoothly. We can liaise with your estate agent or key holder when required.

Office Relocations

We support businesses moving within Putney and to or from other parts of London. Our office removals service can include evening or weekend moves, labelling systems for desks and IT, and close coordination with your internal teams.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

When plans change unexpectedly, we do our best to accommodate urgent removals, subject to availability. Clear communication about timing, volume and priorities allows us to respond quickly and realistically.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal service in Putney cost?

Costs vary depending on property size, access, distance and the level of service you choose. A small flat move within Putney will typically cost less than a large family home moving across the country, and adding full packing will increase the price but save you considerable time. After a short conversation and survey, we provide a clear written quotation with all charges explained, so you know exactly what is included before you commit.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, especially outside peak periods, but it depends on vehicle and team availability. If you require an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with full details of your requirements, including addresses, access, and the key items that must be moved. We will advise honestly whether we can accommodate your date and suggest practical alternatives if your preferred slot is not available.

What insurance cover do you provide?

Our removals service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved, as well as public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property. This protection sits alongside our careful working practices and use of quality packing materials. Full details of cover, including limits and any exclusions, are provided with your quotation, and we are happy to answer specific questions about valuable or unusual items before you book.

What is included in your removals service as standard?

As standard, we provide a suitably sized vehicle, a trained removals team, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We place items into the rooms you specify and position main furniture items. Additional services such as full packing, part packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and provision of packing materials can be added as required. All inclusions and optional extras are listed clearly in your written quotation so there are no surprises on the day.

How are you different from a basic man-and-van service?

While a man-and-van may be suitable for very small or informal moves, we operate as a structured, professional removals company. We conduct surveys, plan routes and parking, supply the right size team and vehicle, and use proper packing and securing methods. We are fully insured, with trained staff experienced in protecting properties and possessions. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and additional costs that can arise when using casual or uninsured operators.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For the best choice of dates, especially around month end and popular Fridays, we recommend booking as soon as your move date is likely, typically two to four weeks in advance. However, we understand that property transactions can change quickly, so we remain as flexible as possible. Even if your date is not fixed yet, it is worthwhile to start the conversation early so we can advise on availability and planning.
