From one-bedroom flats on upper floors to large family homes and multi-floor offices, we plan each move so it runs smoothly on the day.
Local Putney Removals Specialists
Working day in, day out in Putney means we understand local roads, parking restrictions and building access issues. We regularly move customers in areas such as Putney Bridge Road, Upper Richmond Road, Putney Heath and the riverside developments.
We liaise with you in advance about parking suspensions, lift access and time slots so the move goes ahead without avoidable delays. Our experience with Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and new-build apartments in SW15 helps us anticipate and solve problems before they arise.

Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of your move: addresses, property size, dates and any special requirements. We ask a few practical questions, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We assess access, parking, quantity of items and any special pieces (pianos, large wardrobes, fragile items). This allows us to allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment, and to confirm your final price.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – our team packs your contents into boxes, labels everything and prepares furniture for transport.
- Part packing – we pack fragile or awkward items; you pack the rest.
- Self-packing – you pack everything; we provide materials if required.
We disassemble standard furniture where needed (such as bed frames) and protect it for the journey.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, carries out a quick walk-through and sets floor and wall protection where required. We then load your belongings methodically, securing them in the vehicle to minimise movement in transit.
Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles. We drive directly to your new address or via agreed stops if needed.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload room by room and place items where you want them. Furniture we dismantled is reassembled, and we position larger pieces so you can start using your new space straight away. If we have provided a packing service, we can also offer unpacking of boxes by prior arrangement.
Transparent Removals Pricing
Our pricing is based on a clear, practical assessment of:
- Volume of goods and number of rooms
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance from parking)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Level of service – packing, part packing or transport only
- Any special items that require extra time or equipment
We provide written quotes so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs (for example, extended waiting time beyond agreed limits) are explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Attempting a move yourself or using an unregulated, casual service can quickly become stressful and risky. With Movers Putney you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to handle heavy, awkward and fragile items safely.
- Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.
- Correct equipment – trolleys, hoists, straps, blankets and floor protection.
- Efficient planning that saves time and reduces disruption to your home or business.
- Accountability – a local company with a reputation to protect, not a one-off operator.
In many cases, professional removals work out better value once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work, packing materials and the risk of damage or injury.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. All moves carried out by Movers Putney are supported by appropriate insurance and professional practices:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – safeguarding you and your property if something unexpected happens on-site.
- Trained moving teams – staff are trained in lifting techniques, packing, and protection of property.
We work to clear written terms and conditions, so you know exactly what is covered and how any issues would be resolved.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and property as if they were our own. That means careful handling, use of high-quality protective materials, and tidy working practices throughout the move.
Where possible, we use reusable crates, blankets and durable packing materials. We aim to minimise waste by encouraging the reuse of boxes and offering guidance on recycling or donating unwanted items before the move. Efficient route planning also helps reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Putney typically cost?
The cost of a removal in Putney depends on the size of your property, volume of goods, access, distance and level of service required. A small flat move within the local area will naturally cost less than a large family home moving across the country. Following a short consultation, and usually a survey, we provide a fixed quotation so you know the total in advance. There are no hidden extras, and we explain any potential additional charges (such as long carry or waiting time) before you confirm your booking.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or urgent removals in Putney and surrounding areas. Availability will depend on the size of the move and our existing commitments. For very short notice moves, we may focus on essential items first and return for non-urgent goods if needed. If you have a tight deadline, contact us as early as possible with details so we can advise on what is achievable and provide a realistic plan and price.
What insurance cover do you provide during the move?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we carry public liability cover for work at your property. This provides reassurance that, in the unlikely event of damage caused by us, there is a clear route to resolution. Full details and limits of cover are set out in our terms and conditions. We always recommend that highly valuable or irreplaceable items are discussed with us in advance so we can consider any extra precautions or additional cover.
What is included in a standard removals service?
A standard removals service includes a trained team, a suitable vehicle, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We protect furniture with blankets, use straps to secure items in the vehicle and take reasonable care of floors and walls. You can add services such as packing, part packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and provision of boxes and materials. Our written quote will clearly list what is included so you can compare options and choose the level of help that suits your budget and timescale.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a casual man-and-van can be suitable for very small, low-risk moves, our service is built around professional standards. We use trained staff, plan each move properly, and provide insurance, the right equipment and a written agreement. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings. For most household and business moves, the peace of mind and efficiency offered by a specialist removals company in Putney will far outweigh any small saving from a basic transport-only service.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely moving window, especially for Fridays and month-end, which are popular. Many customers confirm their booking one to four weeks before moving day. We understand that exchange and completion dates can change, so we remain as flexible as possible and will work with you if your schedule shifts. If your move is very short notice, contact us anyway – we will always do our best to help.
