Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few questions about your current property, where you are moving to, dates, access and what needs moving. For smaller moves, we can usually provide a clear, fixed-price quote based on this information and photos or a list of items.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger homes or more complex moves, we arrange a virtual survey via video call or an onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and any fragile or bulky items. Accurate surveys mean no surprises on the day and help us allocate the right size vehicle and team.

3. Packing & Preparation

We can offer different levels of packing support:

• Full packing service – we supply all materials and pack your entire home.
• Part packing service – we focus on fragile or high-value items.
• Self-packing – you pack your own boxes and we provide guidance and, if needed, packing materials.

Before move day, we label items and plan loading order to keep essentials accessible.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and doorways where needed, and carefully loads your belongings. Furniture is wrapped and secured; items are positioned in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance for the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload into the rooms you choose, placing larger items where you want them. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled, position appliances ready for connection, and take away our protective materials, leaving your new home as tidy as possible.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access issues (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking restrictions)
• Level of packing service required
• Any additional services such as storage or extra stops

For most moves, we offer a fixed price so you know exactly what you will pay. Hourly rates may be suitable for smaller, flexible jobs. All costs are explained in writing so you can make an informed decision.

Why Choose Professional House Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals team is about more than convenience. It reduces risk, protects your belongings and saves time. DIY moves or casual man-and-van arrangements often lack proper equipment, protection and insurance, which can lead to damage or injury.

With Man with Van Putney you benefit from:

• Trained staff experienced in lifting, carrying and loading
• Appropriate vehicles with securing points, blankets and trolleys
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
• Efficient planning that minimises the number of trips
• Reduced disruption to work and family life

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your possessions are important, both financially and emotionally. Our service is fully backed by:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Trained moving teams following safe lifting and handling practices

We work to professional standards in planning, communication and care. Any specific requirements can be discussed in advance and included in your move plan.

Caring, Protective and Sustainable Moving

We treat every home with respect. Floors, bannisters and door frames can be protected where needed; furniture and delicate items are wrapped and secured. We plan routes to avoid unnecessary handling and keep your belongings safe from start to finish.

We also aim to operate responsibly. Reusable protection materials, efficient route planning and sensible vehicle loading all help to reduce waste and fuel use. Where possible, we recycle used cardboard and can advise on reusing or donating unwanted items.

Real-World Moving Scenarios We Handle

Full House Moves

From one-bedroom flats to large family homes, we manage the entire move, including packing if required. We coordinate timings with keys, completion and access to keep everything running smoothly.

Office and Home-Office Relocations

We can move desks, IT equipment, files and stock along with your household belongings, allowing you to restart work quickly at the new address.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes dates change at the last minute. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice moves within Putney and across London. Contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Putney cost?

The cost depends on the size of your property, the amount of furniture and boxes, the distance between addresses and any access challenges such as stairs or restricted parking. Smaller local flat moves may be completed on an hourly rate, while full house moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Packing services, materials and any additional stops are clearly itemised. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us for a free quote, supported by a short survey if needed.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

Yes, we can often assist with same-day or short-notice moves in Putney and the surrounding areas, depending on availability. If your dates have changed unexpectedly, call us as soon as possible with your details, and we will check our schedule and vehicle capacity. While we cannot guarantee emergency slots, we regularly help clients with late completions, urgent tenancy changes and quick turnaround moves, offering the same careful handling and professional standards as planned bookings.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work at your properties. This insurance is designed to cover unforeseen events such as accidents in transit. We still handle everything with the utmost care to avoid issues in the first place. Very high-value or specialist items should be discussed in advance so we can confirm cover limits and, if needed, agree on any additional arrangements.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, secure transport and unloading of your furniture, boxes and household items between your old and new addresses. We can also dismantle and reassemble basic furniture, protect key items, and place everything into the rooms you choose. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, storage and additional pick-ups or drop-offs. All inclusions and any optional services are listed clearly in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect.

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

A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, simple moves, but often lacks the equipment, experience and insurance needed for a full house move. Our service provides trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective materials and insurance cover, along with proper planning and communication. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs. For most households, using a dedicated removals company offers better value and far less stress than trying to manage everything yourself or relying on informal transport options.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed move date, especially if you are moving at busy times such as month-end, Fridays or summer weekends. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for full house moves, though we can often accommodate shorter notice, particularly for smaller jobs. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and time slots and allows us to plan parking, access and any packing services well in advance.
