Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with basic details of your move: addresses, property sizes, main items and dates. We ask focused questions to understand access, floors, lifts and any fragile or high-value items. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we usually carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking, volume of goods and any special requirements. The survey helps us choose the right size removal van, number of movers and estimated duration, so your move runs smoothly on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer both full packing and part packing services, or you can pack yourself. Where we pack, we use strong, double-walled boxes and appropriate wrapping for fragile items. We label boxes clearly by room and contents. Even if you pack, we still protect key furniture with covers and blankets on the day.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and then gets straight to work. We load methodically, securing items with straps and padding to prevent movement during transit. The driver selects the safest and most efficient route, taking into account Putney traffic, bridges and low-clearance constraints.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload in an organised way, placing items in the rooms you specify. We reassemble furniture we dismantled and position heavy pieces where you want them, so you can settle in more quickly. Before leaving, we invite you to walk round and check you are happy with everything.

Transparent Pricing for Removal Van Hire in Putney

We do not operate with vague or misleading prices. Our quotes are based on:

• Size of removal van and number of movers required
• Volume of goods to be moved
• Travel distance and any congestion or parking charges
• Additional services such as packing, storage or specialist handling

We typically work on a fixed-price quote for the described job, so you know the cost upfront. For smaller or very flexible jobs, we may suggest an hourly rate, clearly explained before you commit. There are no hidden surcharges for stairs or long walks, as long as we know about them in advance.

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

A move may look simple at first, but in practice there is a lot that can go wrong. With Putney Removals you benefit from:

• Trained movers who understand safe lifting, furniture protection and efficient loading
• Fully insured service, including goods in transit and public liability cover
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, tools and protective covers
• Reliable timings, with a confirmed booking rather than casual arrangements
• Reduced risk of damage to your belongings and the properties involved

DIY or a cheap man-and-van can appear cheaper, but once you factor in vehicle hire, fuel, time off work, potential damage and stress, a professional service usually offers better overall value and a far smoother experience.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We take that seriously:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your possessions while they are on our vehicles
• Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third parties
• Trained moving teams following proven handling and safety procedures
• Regularly maintained vehicles and equipment for safe, reliable transport

We are always happy to explain our cover limits and terms, and we encourage you to discuss any particularly high-value items with us so we can plan extra protection where appropriate.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to protect your belongings, your property and the environment:

• Use of reusable furniture blankets and durable protective covers
• Careful handling techniques to minimise risk of scratches, dents and breakages
• Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use
• Option to collect back used cartons for reuse or responsible recycling

Our goal is to complete each move efficiently, with minimal waste, and with respect for neighbours and the wider community.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal van in Putney cost?

Costs depend on the size of van required, the amount of belongings, access at each property and the distance travelled. Smaller flat moves within Putney are usually charged either on a fixed price or a clear hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger house moves are typically quoted as a fixed fee after a survey. All quotes are itemised so you can see exactly what is included, and there are no hidden charges as long as the information provided at booking is accurate.

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

We can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Putney, especially outside of peak moving days. Availability will depend on how many crews are already booked and the size of move required. If you are flexible on timing, we can sometimes fit a smaller move around existing jobs. Calling us as early as possible in the day gives the best chance of securing a slot. Even at short notice, we still work to our normal professional standards and insurance cover.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are on our vehicles, plus public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. These policies sit alongside our own careful handling and packing practices. During your booking, we will explain the key terms and any limits, and we encourage you to highlight any particularly high-value or fragile items so we can add extra protection and, if necessary, discuss additional cover or special handling.

What is included in a professional removal van service?

A professional removal van service covers far more than simply driving a vehicle. It typically includes a suitable van, a trained crew to load and unload, basic furniture dismantling and reassembly, protective covers and blankets, route planning and standard insurance cover. We also offer optional packing, supply of boxes and materials, and temporary storage if required. Our team manages the heavy lifting and logistics, while you focus on the essentials of moving, such as utilities, keys and family arrangements.

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

Many man-and-van operators provide only a driver and a vehicle, with limited equipment and no formal insurance. We offer a structured, professional removals service: trained crews, fully equipped vehicles, documented processes and the right insurance protection. We plan your move in advance, undertake surveys where necessary and provide written confirmations. This reduces the risk of delays, damage and misunderstandings, and gives you a reliable, accountable team responsible for getting your belongings safely from A to B.

How far in advance should I book a removal van?

For weekend or month-end moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially during the summer or busy property periods. Midweek and off-peak moves are usually easier to schedule, and we can sometimes accommodate these at shorter notice. Once you have a confirmed move date, it is wise to reserve your slot promptly. If your date is still provisional, we can often pencil you in and confirm once contracts are exchanged or your tenancy is agreed.
