Local Expertise in Putney
Working daily in SW15 means we understand Putney’s particular challenges: narrow residential streets, controlled parking, school traffic and timed loading restrictions. We plan routes and timings carefully, arrange parking where needed and choose the right vehicle size so we can get close to your property safely.
From riverside apartments and mansion blocks near Putney Bridge to terraced streets off Putney High Street and larger homes towards Putney Heath, we’ve moved customers in and out of almost every type of property in the area.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Everything starts with a simple phone call or online enquiry. We ask a few key questions about your current property, destination, dates and the volume of items. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate and suggest the best way to carry out a more accurate assessment.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
We then carry out either a video survey or an onsite visit in Putney. This allows us to check access, parking, stairs or lifts, and the exact contents of each room. From this we produce a detailed quote, including any packing, dismantling or special care requirements, so you know exactly what is included.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the days leading up to the move or on move day itself (depending on your chosen service), our professional team can pack your belongings using strong boxes and protective materials. We label everything clearly by room. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can still supply quality materials and guidance so items are ready to load safely.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day we arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and key areas, and systematically load the vehicle. Furniture is wrapped or blanketed, and items are strapped securely to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to your new address, using the most efficient route for Putney and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. We reassemble any items we dismantled, and we only leave once you are satisfied that everything listed on the inventory has been delivered and positioned.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services in Putney
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods (number of rooms and boxes)
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Travel distance and any congestion or parking charges
- Level of service – from simple transport to full packing and unpacking
- Any specialist items that need extra time or equipment
Your written quote sets out what is included, any optional extras, and how long we expect the move to take. If your circumstances change, we update the quote so you remain in control of costs.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van may look cheaper at first glance, but it often leads to extra trips, damage, delays and stress. With a professional removal service you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, protect and load safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and ramps
- Planned timings and routes so move day runs smoothly
- Full documentation and goods in transit insurance for peace of mind
- Reduced risk of injury to you, your family or colleagues
Our teams carry out moves every day; we know what can go wrong and how to avoid it, especially in a busy area like Putney.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Movers Putney operates to recognised industry standards so your belongings and property are properly protected throughout the move.
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to buildings or third parties
- Trained moving teams with ongoing instruction in lifting techniques and packing methods
- Regularly maintained vehicles and quality protective materials
We are happy to provide policy details and limits on request, and we encourage customers to check how this fits alongside any existing home or business insurance.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Care is at the heart of how we work. We protect banisters, doors and floors where needed, wrap furniture properly and handle every box as if it were our own. For those extra-fragile or sentimental pieces, we can provide bespoke packing and clear handling instructions to the crew.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way. Wherever possible we use reusable crates, collect boxes for reuse, and recycle damaged materials responsibly. By planning routes and using the right size vehicles, we reduce unnecessary journeys and fuel use across Putney and beyond.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House in Putney
From small flats near East Putney station to family homes close to the river, we regularly help residents move within the area or out to the wider UK. We can manage key handover timings, lift bookings and parking suspensions to keep your move on schedule.
Office and Business Relocations
For businesses, downtime is critical. We can move you outside office hours, label and plan by department, and ensure IT and key equipment are prioritised at the new site. Our team works efficiently but carefully so your staff can get back to work quickly.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes a move cannot wait – a tenancy end date, a change of completion date or an emergency situation. While availability will depend on our schedule, we always do our best to help with short-notice and urgent moves in Putney, providing a clear plan even when time is tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Putney cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the amount of furniture and boxes, access at each address and the distance of the move. A small flat move within Putney will naturally cost less than a large family home moving across the country. After a short discussion and a survey, we provide a fixed quote that clearly lists what is included. There are no hidden extras, and any parking charges or additional services are explained in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal services?
Where our schedule allows, we do accept same-day or very short-notice bookings in Putney. Availability will depend on the size of the move, vehicle requirements and crew numbers needed. If you need to move urgently, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can check the diary and offer realistic options. Even at short notice, we aim to maintain our usual standards of planning, protection and care, rather than rushing a move that could put your belongings at risk.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our care, along with public liability cover for damage to third-party property. These insurances operate alongside our careful working methods and trained staff. We are always happy to confirm the policy limits and conditions in writing, and to explain how they apply to your specific move. We also recommend that you keep particularly high-value items listed on your own home or business policy for complete peace of mind.
What is included in your removal service?
Our standard service includes a tailored quote, an optional survey, loading at your current property, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We protect furniture with blankets and wraps, and place items into the rooms you specify. You can also add services such as full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. Your written quotation sets out exactly what is included so there is no confusion on moving day.
How is a professional removal service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van can be suitable for very small, simple moves, but it rarely offers the planning, protection and accountability of a professional removal service. With us you get trained staff, the right equipment, proper insurance and a clear contract. We assess access, plan vehicle size, protect your property and load methodically to reduce the risk of damage. For most home and office moves in Putney, this level of organisation makes a significant difference to how smoothly the day runs and how safely items arrive.
How far in advance should I book my removal in Putney?
Ideally, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely move date, especially if you are moving at month-end, during school holidays or on a Friday, when demand is higher. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for a standard move, but we often accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Early booking gives us time to arrange surveys, parking and any building permissions, and it gives you the reassurance that a professional team is confirmed for your moving day.
