We offer:

All moves are carried out by trained, uniformed staff using purpose-built removal vehicles equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys.
Local Putney Expertise You Can Rely On
Operating from Putney, we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. That local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings, choose the right vehicle size, and anticipate access issues such as narrow streets, controlled parking zones or upper-floor flats with tight staircases.
We routinely work across Putney High Street, Putney Bridge, Putney Heath, West Putney, East Putney and nearby areas including Wandsworth, Fulham, Barnes and Roehampton. If you are moving into or out of Putney, we can coordinate both ends efficiently.
Who Our Removal Services Are For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we manage full household moves with care. We can organise packing, dismantling and reassembly of large furniture so you can concentrate on the rest of your move.
Renters
From studio flats to shared houses, we regularly help tenants move in and out of rented properties. We work carefully around communal areas and protect floors and walls to keep landlords satisfied and deposits safe.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We assist landlords and agents with void property clearances, tenant changeovers and furniture moves between properties. We can also help set up furnished lets or remove old items ready for refit or sale.
Businesses
Our office and commercial removals service is designed to minimise downtime. We can move desks, IT equipment, files and stock out of hours or at weekends, and we work to your floor plans so everything lands in the right place.
Students
We offer cost-effective student moves between home, halls and shared houses. Ideal if you don’t drive or simply don’t want the hassle of multiple car journeys or public transport with heavy bags.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with details of your move. We will ask about property size, key items, access, dates and any special requirements. Using this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually on a fixed-price basis for complete moves.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a brief survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Putney and nearby areas. The survey helps us assess volume, parking, staircases, lifts and any fragile or awkward items so we send the right team and vehicle.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or choose our professional packing service. We use quality boxes, wrapping paper and bubble wrap, and label everything clearly by room. We can also provide materials if you prefer to pack yourself. On moving day, we protect floors, doorways and bannisters where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team carefully loads your belongings, using blankets, covers and straps to prevent movement in transit. We plan routes that avoid unnecessary delays, taking into account traffic and access at both properties. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while on board our vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. If arranged in advance, we can dismantle and reassemble standard beds and other common items. Before we leave, we do a quick walk-through with you to ensure nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services in Putney
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Most moves are priced as a fixed job based on:
- Volume of items and property size
- Distance between addresses
- Access and parking complexity
- Number of movers required
- Optional services such as packing or furniture assembly
For smaller or flexible moves, we may offer a competitive hourly rate with a minimum booking period. All costs are explained in writing before you confirm your booking, so you know exactly what is included.
Why Choose Professional Removal Services Over DIY
Hiring a professional removal company in Putney saves time, reduces risk and usually proves better value than hiring a van and doing it yourself. Our trained teams are used to carrying heavy and awkward items safely, navigating tight staircases and protecting both your belongings and the property.
Compared with casual man-and-van options, you benefit from fully insured service, reliable vehicles, proper equipment and confirmed arrival times. You are not relying on a part-time driver but on an established local business that moves people every day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man with Van Putney operates to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury while we are working.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are trained in safe lifting, loading, and securing of loads, and understand how to handle fragile and heavy items.
We discuss any particularly delicate or high-value items during the survey so we can plan appropriate protection. You are also encouraged to maintain your own home contents insurance for comprehensive peace of mind.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings are handled as if they were our own. We use removal blankets, mattress covers, sofa covers and floor protection where required. Glass, mirrors, TVs and other fragile items are wrapped securely and clearly marked.
We are mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we reuse sturdy cartons, minimise single-use plastics and plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. If requested, we can collect boxes after your move for reuse or responsible recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Putney cost?
The cost of a removal in Putney depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and whether you need extras such as packing or furniture assembly. Smaller flat moves might be charged on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. After a quick discussion or survey, we provide a written quote showing exactly what is included so you can compare like-for-like with confidence.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Putney, especially outside peak times, but it depends on existing bookings and crew availability. If your move is urgent, contact us as early as possible with key details such as property size, locations and preferred times. We will confirm quickly whether we can help, suggest realistic time slots and explain any limitations. Even for last-minute moves, we still follow a structured process so your belongings are moved safely and efficiently.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. These policies are designed to cover accidental damage or loss up to specified limits. During your booking, we can outline the main terms and exclusions so you know exactly how you are protected. We also recommend keeping your own contents insurance in place, particularly for high-value items, to ensure full peace of mind.
What is included in your removal service?
Our standard removal service includes a trained team, a suitable vehicle, protective blankets and equipment, loading at your existing property, transport and unloading at your new address. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify and work carefully to protect both properties. Optional extras include packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and moves into or out of storage. All inclusions and any additional services are listed clearly in your written quotation before you book.
How are professional removals different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may suit very small, flexible moves, but it often comes without formal training, set procedures or adequate insurance. As a professional removal company, we provide experienced teams, the right number of movers, fully equipped vehicles and fully insured cover for your belongings. We carry out surveys where needed, plan access and timings, and use proper packing and securing methods. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or no-shows and generally results in a safer, smoother move.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your Putney removal one to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday, weekend or at month-end. However, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If your dates are not confirmed yet, we can provide a provisional quote and hold a preferred slot where practical. For last-minute moves, contact us and we will advise on our earliest available options.
