Who Our Putney Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of the area, we regularly help homeowners with complete household moves. We are used to handling larger items such as pianos, wardrobes and garden equipment, and we take care to protect both your belongings and your property at each end.

Renters

Flat moves in Putney often involve restricted access, parking bays and tight time windows. Our team plans the route, manages local parking rules where possible, and works efficiently to keep disruption to neighbours and building managers to a minimum.

Landlords

We work with landlords and letting agents to clear properties between tenancies, remove unwanted furniture and prepare a flat or house for new occupants. We can coordinate timings around cleaning and maintenance visits to help keep void periods short.

Businesses

From small offices to growing local businesses, we provide office removals planned around your trading hours. We can move desks, IT equipment, archive files and stock with structured labelling so you can be up and running as quickly as possible in your new space.

Students

Students in Putney, Roehampton and surrounding areas often need smaller, flexible moves. We offer cost-effective solutions for single rooms, shared flats and halls, with careful handling of computers, instruments and personal belongings.

What Our Removals Service Includes

Items Typically Included

Our standard removals service covers most household and office contents, including:

• Furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, bookcases
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines (subject to disconnection)
• Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal items
• Electronics – TVs, computers, printers and audio equipment
• Office furniture and equipment
• Outdoor items such as garden furniture, barbecues and tools (clean and empty)

Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Prior Arrangement

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or require prior discussion:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, paint tins, chemicals)
• Illegal items or goods of uncertain ownership
• Open containers of liquids
• Cash, jewellery and high-value small items (we recommend you transport these personally)
• Very large or specialist items such as grand pianos or safes – possible by prior arrangement
• Live animals and plants on longer-distance moves (by arrangement only)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify this during your survey so everything is clear before moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with your move details: current and new address, property type, date, and an outline of what needs moving. We ask a few practical questions about access, parking and any fragile or unusual items. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation quotation.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done virtually (video call and photos) or onsite. We walk through each room with you, assess volume, stairs/lifts, parking and any dismantling required. This allows us to give a confirmed price and plan the right size crew and vehicle.

3. Packing & Preparation

On smaller moves you may choose to pack yourself; we can supply strong packing materials. Alternatively, our professional packing service can take care of everything: wrapping glassware, protecting pictures and boxing books and clothing. Furniture is protected with padded covers, and mattresses are bagged where appropriate.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our team arrives at the agreed time, carries out a brief walk-through and then begins loading systematically. We protect floors and banisters as needed, and load the vehicle so that items are secure in transit. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address with goods in transit insurance in place.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling items we dismantled. We will not leave until the vehicle is empty and you are satisfied that everything has been placed in the correct areas, within the scope of the agreed service.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We price our moves based on a clear set of factors:

• Volume of goods and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access and parking complexity
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Optional extras such as packing, materials and storage

All costs are detailed in your written quotation so you can see what is included. There are no hidden fees for stairs or standard walking distances, and any potential additional charges (for example, out-of-hours key delays or specialist lifting equipment) are discussed openly before you book.

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

Hiring a professional removal company gives you structured planning and accountability that casual options often lack. Our teams are trained in safe lifting techniques, dismantling furniture and protecting walls, doors and floors. We use the right equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and covers – to reduce the risk of damage or injury.

With DIY or a basic man-and-van, you often rely on borrowed vehicles, friends’ availability and limited insurance. If something is damaged or there is an accident, you may have little or no recourse. Our work is fully covered by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, and we operate to industry-standard procedures for planning and documentation.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Putney Removals operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance – to cover your possessions while they are being moved
• Public liability insurance – to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams – experienced in handling fragile, bulky and awkward items

We keep detailed job records, use agreed inventories when appropriate and follow clear procedures for loading, securing and unloading your items. If you have particularly high-value belongings, we will discuss any extra precautions or documentation required before your move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take a careful, practical approach to protecting both your belongings and the environment. Furniture is wrapped in reusable padded covers, and we use durable moving blankets to minimise waste. Where we supply packing materials, we prefer recyclable cardboard boxes and paper-based protective wrapping.

We plan sensible routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and coordinate timings to avoid repeated trips where possible. When disposing of unwanted items (by prior arrangement), we use licensed waste and recycling centres so that reusable materials are diverted from landfill wherever feasible.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House Within Putney

Many of our customers are moving between flats and houses within Putney or to nearby areas. We are used to coordinating with residents’ associations, managing parking suspensions where required and working around school runs and commuting times to keep things practical.

Office Relocation

For businesses, we often carry out moves outside core office hours, including evenings and weekends, to minimise downtime. We can move IT equipment, boxed files and furniture in a planned sequence so your teams can restart work quickly in the new location.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves arise at short notice due to changes in completion dates, tenancy issues or personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day moves, focusing on essential items first and adding packing support where time allows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal company in Putney cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of goods, distance and any additional services such as packing. A small flat move within Putney will typically cost less than a full family house move with packing and storage. After your enquiry, we carry out a free survey (virtual or onsite) and provide a fixed, written quotation so you know the total cost in advance. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to explain how the price is made up so you can compare like-for-like.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, particularly smaller flats or partial loads, but this depends on our schedule and crew availability. If your plans change suddenly or you have an unexpected completion date, contact us as soon as possible and we will see what can be arranged. In urgent cases we focus on essential items first and may add a second trip if needed. All moves, even at short notice, are still carried out by our professional, insured teams.

What insurance cover do you provide?

All moves are protected by goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are in our care and being transported, and by public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. We will outline key terms and any limits in your quotation documents. For particularly valuable items, we recommend you inform us in advance so we can confirm coverage and, if appropriate, suggest additional protection or documentation. Our aim is to give you clear, realistic reassurance rather than vague promises.

What is included in your removals service as standard?

Our standard service includes a trained crew, a suitable vehicle, protective blankets and covers, loading at your current address, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new property. We also include basic furniture protection and, where agreed, dismantling and reassembly of standard items such as beds and basic wardrobes. Optional extras include full or part packing services, supply of packing materials, storage arrangements and disposal of unwanted items. Everything that is included or optional is clearly listed in your written quotation before you confirm.

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

While some man-and-van services can be useful for very small, simple moves, a professional removal company offers structured planning, documented quotes and proper insurance. Our trained teams work daily with heavy and fragile items, use the correct equipment and follow established procedures for packing, lifting and securing loads. We also provide clear timings, written terms and the resources to handle larger or more complex moves. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings, and gives you a clear point of contact if anything needs follow-up.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For the best choice of dates, particularly at month-end and during peak moving seasons, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change, so we keep our process as flexible as possible. Once you have an approximate date, you can provisionally book with us and then confirm when your solicitor or landlord gives you final timings. We will always do our best to accommodate late changes, subject to availability.
