We can liaise with building managers, neighbours and concierges where needed and advise you on permits, timed loading bays and access arrangements for a smooth moving day.

Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are selling and buying within Putney or relocating further afield. We coordinate dates with your completion and work closely with you to minimise downtime and disruption.

Flexible removals for tenants changing flats, house-shares or moving into a first rental. We can move you in stages, help with packing, and take particular care with clean stairwells and communal areas to protect your deposit.

Landlords

We support landlords needing quick, efficient clearance and removals between tenancies. We can remove unwanted furniture, store it, or move it to another property as required.

Perfect for small offices or home businesses moving within Putney. We carefully handle IT equipment, files and office furniture, aiming to keep your operations running with minimal interruption.

Students

Cost-effective student moves to and from halls, shared houses and flats. We can bundle smaller loads, so you only pay for the space and time you actually need.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs

• Personal belongings – clothes, books, ornaments and artwork
• Electronics – TVs, computers, sound systems and small appliances

Items Usually Excluded or Restricted

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need special arrangements:

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise you during the survey so everything is clear well before moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your moving details. We will ask about addresses, property size, key dates and any particular concerns. Based on this information, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate so you have a realistic idea of costs from the start.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most moves we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking, the volume of items and any fragile or unusual pieces. Accurate surveys mean accurate quotes and ensure we send the right size vehicle and team on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – we pack everything using quality boxes and materials
• Part packing – we pack fragile items, you pack the rest
• Self-pack – you pack, and we provide materials if required

We label boxes clearly by room and contents, protect furniture with covers and wraps, and dismantle larger items where needed.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained, uniformed team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and starts loading methodically. We use blankets, straps and protective equipment to secure your belongings. Vehicles are clean, well-maintained and purpose-built for removals, and every load is covered by goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room according to your labels and instructions. Furniture is reassembled where agreed, and we place items in the right rooms so you can start settling in immediately. Before leaving, we check that everything listed has been delivered and positioned to your satisfaction.

Transparent Pricing – How Our Removals Costs Work

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

• Volume of belongings and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access and parking conditions at both ends
• Services chosen – packing, dismantling, storage, special handling
• Day and time – weekdays, weekends or evenings

Your written quotation will clearly state what is included, along with any optional extras. If your circumstances change before moving day, we update the quote so you always know where you stand.

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

Doing it yourself or hiring an informal man-and-van may seem cheaper, but often proves more stressful and risky. A professional removals company like Movers Putney provides:

• Fully insured transport and handling of your belongings
• Trained teams who know how to move heavy and fragile items safely
• Correct equipment – trolleys, ramps, blankets, straps and protective covers
• Reliable, scheduled arrivals and realistic timeframes
• Proper planning around access, parking and building rules

This significantly reduces the chance of damage, injury or costly delays, and frees you to focus on paperwork, keys and family on the day.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We treat them accordingly and back this up with robust protection and standards:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your items while being moved
• Public liability cover for peace of mind on-site
• Trained, experienced moving teams who follow established handling techniques
• Detailed move planning and documented job sheets
• Clean, well-maintained vehicles and equipment

We are happy to explain our cover levels and, where appropriate, recommend additional protection for particularly high-value items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We focus on careful handling and a responsible approach to materials and transport.

Protection of Your Property and Belongings

• Door, floor and bannister protection in properties where needed
• Furniture wrapped in transit blankets and stretch-wrap
• Mattress and sofa covers available on request
• Systematic labelling to keep items organised and easy to find

Sustainable Working Practices

• Re-usable crates and recycled cardboard boxes where possible
• Responsible recycling of unwanted furniture and packaging
• Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions

We aim to reduce waste and environmental impact without compromising the quality of your move.

Real-World Use Cases

Family Moving from Flat to House in Putney

A young family upsizing from a two-bedroom flat to a house off Putney Heath used our full packing and removals service. We packed the day before, coordinated lift access, and completed the move in one day so they were ready for the school run on Monday.

Home Office and Small Business Relocation

A freelance designer relocating from Putney to Barnes needed careful handling of computers, artwork and samples. We planned a phased move, keeping one workstation running while the rest was transported, allowing business to continue almost uninterrupted.

Urgent, Short-Notice Move

When a last-minute completion date changed, a couple required an urgent move within 48 hours. We reallocated vehicles, provided part packing, and completed the move in time, keeping them informed at every step so they could focus on the legal side.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do house removals in Putney cost?

The cost of house removals in Putney depends on the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties, access at each address and which services you choose, such as packing or dismantling. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while full house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. After a detailed survey, we provide a clear written quotation with everything itemised, so you know exactly what is included and can compare options without any hidden charges.

Can you handle same-day or urgent house moves?

Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves, particularly for local Putney relocations. Availability will depend on vehicle size, team capacity and the complexity of your move. If you are facing an urgent situation, contact us as early as possible with your key dates and basic details. We will quickly assess what is feasible, outline realistic options and confirm costs, so you can make a decision and secure a slot without delay.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. All moves we carry out are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your items while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out at your properties. During the survey, we will explain our insurance levels, any exclusions and how they apply to your particular move. For unusually high-value items, we may recommend additional cover or specific handling arrangements to ensure you have complete peace of mind.

What is included in a typical house removals service?

A standard house removals service includes a pre-move assessment, provision of a suitably sized vehicle and professional moving team, protective equipment for your furniture, careful loading, secure transport and unloading at your new home. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture if agreed in advance. Optional extras include packing and unpacking, supply of boxes and materials, storage, and disposal of unwanted items. Your written quote will clearly outline exactly what is and is not included.

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

A professional removals service provides trained staff, structured planning, and formal insurance cover, whereas many informal man-and-van providers focus mainly on transport. With Movers Putney, you benefit from surveys, written quotations, appropriate vehicles and equipment, and clear processes for protecting your belongings and property. We can also offer packing, dismantling and coordinated multi-van moves. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and complications, and usually offers much better value when you consider the time and stress saved.

How far in advance should I book my house removal?

We recommend booking your removal as soon as you have a likely moving date, ideally two to four weeks in advance for standard local moves, and longer for peak times such as month-ends and Fridays. Early booking ensures better choice of dates and allows time for surveys, planning and packing. However, we understand that completion dates can change at short notice. If that happens, we will always do our best to adapt your booking and find a practical solution within our schedule.
