Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating, we manage full household moves with a clear plan from start to finish. We pay particular attention to protecting floors, banisters and doorways in your old and new homes.

Renters

For tenants moving between rented properties, we work to tight check-in and check-out times, helping you leave the property in good condition and transport your belongings safely, including flat-pack furniture and appliances.

Landlords

Landlords use our service for changeovers, part-furnished property moves and end-of-tenancy furniture removals. We can coordinate key collection and access with your agents and provide photos of completed work on request.

Businesses

Local businesses rely on us for office removals, internal moves, and store or warehouse relocations. We plan around your operating hours to minimise downtime and can move IT equipment, filing, stock and furniture with suitable protection.

Students

Students in and around Putney benefit from our smaller, flexible moves – ideal for halls of residence and shared houses. We offer cost-effective options for moving personal belongings, desks, beds and bikes between term-time addresses.

What We Can and Can’t Move

Items Typically Included

We can safely move most household and office items, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other large furniture
• Tables, chairs, desks and filing cabinets
• Domestic appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (subject to preparation)
• TVs, computers, monitors and standard electronic equipment
• Boxes of books, clothing, kitchenware and personal items
• Outdoor furniture, barbecues (clean and empty), garden tools

Items We Exclude or Restrict

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot carry, or can only carry under specific conditions:

• Flammable liquids, gas bottles and hazardous materials
• Open tins of paint, chemicals or solvents
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Live animals or pets (we recommend dedicated pet transport)
• High-value items such as jewellery, cash or important personal documents – better kept with you
• Very heavy specialist items (e.g. safes, pianos or machinery) without prior agreement

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during the survey stage.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your moving details. We will ask about addresses, access, size of property, key dates and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote outlining what is included so you know exactly what to expect.

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 an in-person visit in Putney. We assess the volume of goods, parking arrangements, stairs or lifts, and identify any fragile, bulky or awkward items. This helps us allocate the right team, vehicle and time for your move.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose to pack yourself or use our packing service. If we pack, we supply suitable boxes and materials, pack room by room, and label everything clearly. We use protective materials for fragile items and furniture, and can dismantle beds, wardrobes and other furniture where necessary.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrive on time, protect floors and walls where needed, and load your belongings methodically. We use removal blankets, straps and trolleys to secure items in the van. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address using well-maintained vehicles, covered by goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. Where we have dismantled furniture, we can reassemble it and position it as requested. We aim to leave your new home or office ready for you to start living or working in as soon as possible.

Transparent Pricing and How We Charge

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of the move
• Distance between properties
• Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Any additional services such as packing or storage runs

We will always explain the basis of your quote in plain language. There are no hidden charges, and any potential extras (for example, additional packing materials requested on the day) are discussed in advance wherever possible.

Why Use a Professional Removal Company Instead of DIY

Moving yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper at first glance, but can quickly become stressful and costly if things go wrong. A professional removals company brings:

• Trained staff who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
• Proper protective equipment and vehicles designed for removals
• Fully insured cover for your belongings during transit
• Efficient planning to reduce the risk of delays or missed key handovers
• Reduced risk of injury or damage to your property

In many cases, using a reputable removal company works out better value when you factor in time, vehicle hire, fuel, materials and potential damage from an inexperienced move.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear professional standards. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability cover for accidents or damage involving third parties
• Trained moving teams who are experienced in safe lifting, packing and loading
• Regularly maintained vehicles suitable for residential streets and commercial access

Details of our insurance cover are available on request, and we are always happy to explain how it applies to your particular move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and your property with care. Our teams use protective blankets, mattress covers, corner protectors and floor coverings where necessary to minimise any risk of marks or scuffs. Fragile items are given extra attention and loaded securely.

We also aim to work as sustainably as possible. Where we can, we reuse sturdy boxes, minimise unnecessary journeys and plan efficient routes around Putney and beyond. We encourage customers to recycle unwanted items responsibly, and can recommend local reuse and recycling options.

Common Use Cases for Our Putney Removals Service

Moving House

From small flats to large family homes, we manage full household moves, coordinating with estate agents, solicitors and building managers as needed. We understand chain completions and work to your key handover times.

Office Relocation

We help businesses move within Putney or further afield, planning to minimise disruption. This can include staged moves, out-of-hours work and careful handling of IT equipment, documents and office furniture.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – a change in tenancy, urgent completion or other circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we offer prompt and sometimes same-day support, focusing on getting you moved safely and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal service in Putney cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of your move, the distance between addresses and the level of service you choose. Smaller flat or student moves might be priced on an hourly basis, while full house or office relocations are usually quoted as a fixed price. Factors such as access, number of floors, parking arrangements and packing requirements also affect the cost. After an initial discussion and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included before you commit.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice removals in Putney, depending on existing bookings and the size of your move. If you need an urgent service, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details of your requirements. We will check vehicle and team availability, then explain what we can realistically achieve, including any limitations. Even on urgent moves, we still follow a structured process to protect your belongings and ensure safe loading and transport.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover. Insurance has certain terms, conditions and exclusions, as with any policy, which we are happy to explain in plain language. We always recommend that particularly high-value or irreplaceable items are discussed with us in advance, and you may wish to keep small valuables, documents and jewellery with you rather than in the removal vehicle.

What is included in a typical removals service?

A standard removals service covers supplying a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, loading your packed belongings, transporting them to your new address, and unloading into the rooms you specify. On request, we can add packing and unpacking, disassembly and reassembly of furniture, and supply of packing materials. Our quote will state clearly what is included for your particular move. We also advise on preparation, such as defrosting freezers and disconnecting appliances, so that moving day runs as smoothly as possible.

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

A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport and labour only, often without formal training, structured planning or comprehensive insurance. As a professional removals company, we provide trained staff, appropriate vehicles, written quotes and fully insured cover. We carry out surveys for larger moves, use protective materials as standard and follow established processes to protect your belongings and property. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, and usually provides a much smoother experience, especially for full home or business relocations.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For best availability, especially at busy times such as month-end or Fridays, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date – ideally two to four weeks in advance for a full house or office move. However, we understand that dates can change, so we build in some flexibility where possible. For smaller or local moves within Putney, we can sometimes arrange bookings at shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates and times.
