Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are selling and buying, our team coordinates carefully with your key release time. We protect floors, doorways and stairwells in both your old and new property, and handle everything from bulky sofas to precious family items.

Renters

For tenants moving between rented properties, we offer flexible time slots, evening and weekend options, and smaller moves with fewer crew if required. We can also help with careful removal of fixtures and furniture to help you leave the property as you found it.

Landlords

Landlords in Putney use us to clear and move furniture between properties, prepare homes for new tenants, or manage partial removals after tenancy changes. We work quickly and respectfully around other trades where necessary.

Businesses

From small offices to larger commercial spaces, we move desks, IT equipment, filing, stock and specialist items with a clear labelling system. Our aim is to minimise downtime and keep your business running.

Students

Students moving to or from Putney benefit from smaller, cost-effective moves. We can combine transport of boxes, bikes, small furniture and personal belongings in a single run, with simple, upfront pricing.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• All standard household furniture and white goods
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
• IT equipment, TVs and audio systems (carefully wrapped)
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and archive boxes
• Garage and shed contents, including tools and garden furniture

Items That May Be Excluded or Require Special Handling

• Hazardous materials (fuel, paints, chemicals, gas cylinders)
• Illegal items or items needing special permits
• Very high value items such as fine art or antiques (these may need advance notice and specific insurance)
• Live animals and pets
• Large pianos or specialist machinery without prior agreement

If you are unsure about a specific item, just ask during the survey so we can confirm what is possible and arrange any extra measures.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details of your move: addresses, dates, property size and any special items. We then provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey if the job is more complex. Our quotes are itemised and clear, with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We carry out a video or in-person survey to assess access, parking, volume of items and any challenges such as narrow staircases or heavy furniture. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, number of movers and equipment, so moving day runs smoothly.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day before or on the morning of your move (depending on the service), our team can provide a professional packing service. We use strong boxes, bubble wrap, paper, wardrobe cartons and protective covers. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply packing materials in advance.

4. Loading & Transport

Your belongings are carefully loaded onto our vehicles using trolleys, ramps and lifting equipment where needed. Furniture is wrapped and secured, and items are arranged methodically to prevent movement in transit. We then transport everything directly to your new address or into storage as agreed.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we place each item in the rooms you specify, not just the hallway. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled, position large items where you want them and remove our packaging materials, leaving you able to start settling in straight away.

Transparent Pricing Explained

Our pricing is based on a clear set of factors: volume of goods, distance between properties, access (stairs, lifts, parking), number of movers required, and any additional services such as packing or storage. We do not charge hidden fees for simple things like tape or blankets.

You receive a written quotation outlining what is included, the estimated time, and any optional extras. For straightforward smaller moves, we may agree a fixed price; for more complex moves, we may work on a day rate or a structured plan. Everything is confirmed before you book.

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

Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but often leads to extra trips, damage, delays and unnecessary stress. As a professional removal company, we bring experience, planning and the right equipment to the job.

We know how to move large and awkward items safely, protect your property, and pack vehicles properly to avoid damage. Our team works efficiently as a unit, keeping your move to schedule. Most importantly, your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance, which is rarely the case with informal options.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Movers Putney operates with full goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved, and public liability cover for work in and around your property. This gives you reassurance that you are dealing with a legitimate and responsible company.

Our movers are trained in safe lifting, packing, and loading techniques. We follow clear procedures for handling fragile items, labelling boxes and checking addresses and inventories. We turn up in uniform, in sign-written vehicles, and work respectfully in your home or business premises.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected with covers and padding. Mattresses, sofas and delicate items are wrapped to keep them clean and safe. We encourage sensible decluttering in advance so you only move what you truly need.

Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and durable crates, and we recycle cardboard and wrapping rather than simply disposing of it. Our vehicles are maintained to run efficiently, and we plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage, reducing our environmental impact.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House in Putney

Most of our work involves families and individuals moving between homes in Putney and the wider London area. We coordinate closely with your estate agent and solicitor timelines, and understand the pressure of completion day. Our focus is on punctual arrival and a calm, methodical move.

Office Relocations

For businesses, we plan moves outside normal working hours where possible, keep IT and files clearly labelled, and work from a moving plan agreed with your team. This reduces disruption so staff can get back to work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes circumstances change quickly – last-minute completion dates, tenancy issues or urgent clearances. Where our schedule allows, we provide rapid response moves in and around Putney, prioritising safe, efficient work even when notice is short.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal service in Putney cost?

The cost depends mainly on the volume of items, the distance between addresses, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves within Putney are naturally cheaper than full family house moves or long-distance relocations. After a brief discussion and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a clear written quotation with everything itemised. There are no hidden charges, and we are always happy to explain how the price has been calculated so you can compare it fairly with other quotes.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves, especially for smaller properties, student moves or partial clearances. Availability depends on our schedule and vehicle capacity on the day, so the sooner you contact us, the better. When we do accept an urgent job, we still work to the same professional standards: proper protection, safe loading and clear communication. If we cannot meet your timing safely, we will tell you honestly and, where possible, suggest the closest available slot that will still work for your situation.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being handled by our team and transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for any accidental damage to property during the move. During your quotation, we explain the key points of our cover, including any limits or exclusions, so you know exactly where you stand. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional specialist cover or discuss the best way to handle them safely and responsibly.

What is included in a typical removals service?

A standard removals service includes supplying the vehicle and crew, careful loading and unloading, transport between properties, and placing items in the rooms you choose. We protect furniture and key areas of your property as we work. Optional extras include packing services, dismantling and reassembling furniture, provision of packing materials and arranging storage if needed. Everything that is included for your move will be listed clearly in your quote, so you know exactly what we will do on the day and where any optional services would add value.

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

A casual man-and-van service typically offers basic transport only: they turn up, load, drive and unload. As a professional removal company, we provide planning, surveys, trained staff, protective materials, and full insurance cover. We assess access, allocate the right size vehicle and team, and know how to handle heavy, awkward and fragile items safely. Our aim is to reduce risk, damage and stress, not just move items from A to B. The difference often shows most clearly if anything goes wrong – you have proper cover and a company that takes responsibility.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you are moving at busy times such as month-end or during school holidays. Many clients confirm their booking one to four weeks in advance. That said, we understand that dates can change, particularly with property chains, so we remain as flexible as we reasonably can. If your date shifts, we will do our best to move your booking with it. For last-minute moves, contact us as soon as possible so we can check current availability.
