Local Expertise in Putney and South West London
Working in Putney day in, day out means we understand local streets, traffic patterns and building layouts.

We liaise with you in advance about parking suspensions and building requirements so move day runs to schedule.
Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of London, we handle full house removals with care. From fragile glassware to heavy furniture, we protect and move your belongings as if they were our own.
Renters
Flat and house moves for tenants are often time-sensitive. We work to your check-out times, protect walls and floors, and help you leave the property in good condition to support the return of your deposit.
Landlords
We assist landlords with quick, tidy removals after tenancy changes, including partial clearances, furniture moves between properties and preparing properties for new tenants.
Businesses
Our office and commercial removals minimise downtime. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archives, working out-of-hours or at weekends where required to keep disruption to your operations low.
Students
We regularly move students to and from halls and shared houses in and around Putney. Compact moves are handled efficiently and affordably, with flexible dates around term times.
What Our Removals Service Includes
We cover most everyday household and office items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
- White goods and appliances (properly disconnected)
- Boxes of books, clothing and personal effects
- TVs, computers and small electronics
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and equipment
- Bikes, outdoor furniture and boxed garage contents
Items We Cannot Move
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded:
- Hazardous or flammable materials (petrol, gas bottles, solvents)
- Illegal items of any kind
- Unsecured cash, high-value jewellery or important documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)
- Live animals (including pets and livestock)
- Industrial machinery outside normal commercial moves
If you’re unsure about a particular item, just ask before move day so we can advise or suggest alternatives.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the details of your move – addresses, dates, property size and any special requirements. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included, any optional extras and likely timings.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most moves, we carry out a quick survey, either by video or in person. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the volume of items. Accurate surveys help us allocate the right size vehicle and number of professional movers so everything fits safely and is completed on time.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer both full packing and part packing services, or you can pack yourself. When we pack, we use quality boxes, bubble wrap and furniture covers. We label boxes clearly by room and contents to make unpacking straightforward. Large furniture is dismantled when required and all items are wrapped or protected for transport.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and begins loading systematically. We protect floors and banisters where needed, stack the van carefully to prevent movement, and secure everything with straps and blankets. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new address in our well-maintained vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property, we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. Reassembled furniture is positioned in situ, and we’ll move items within reason until you are happy with the layout. We remove any materials we’ve brought with us, leaving your new space tidy and ready to settle into.
Transparent Pricing for Removals in Putney
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items and size of the property
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, long carries, no lift, parking constraints)
- Optional services such as packing, dismantling/reassembly and materials
- Day of the week and time (evenings/weekends may differ)
All costs are explained upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges, such as waiting times caused by key delays, are set out clearly in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Attempting a move yourself or using an informal man-and-van can seem cheaper at first glance, but often leads to damage, delays and added stress. With Man with Van Putney you get:
- Fully insured service with proper protection for your goods
- Experienced teams who know how to move heavy and fragile items safely
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and covers
- Planned timings and reliable arrivals
- Reduced risk of injury to you, friends or colleagues
In many cases, professional removals work out better value once you factor in time off work, vehicle hire, fuel, materials and potential breakages.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance, covering them while they are in our care and on our vehicles, and our public liability cover for peace of mind in and around your property. Our teams are trained in safe lifting, stacking and handling techniques, and follow established procedures for fragile, high-value and bulky items. We keep detailed job records and communicate clearly before, during and after each move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your possessions is our priority. We use mattress and sofa covers, padded blankets, corner protectors and proper wrapping for delicate items. Floors and doors are protected where required, and everything is loaded in a way that avoids pressure points and movement. We also aim to work responsibly: reusing cartons where appropriate, recycling materials and planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Real-World Removals Use Cases
Moving House
From first homes to long-awaited forever homes, we manage complete household moves across Putney, London and beyond. We can coordinate key handover timings and work around completion days to keep your move on track.
Office Relocation
For offices and small businesses, we schedule moves to fit your trading hours and IT plans. Desks, chairs, files and equipment are labelled and placed correctly at the new site so your team can get back to work quickly.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves cannot be planned months in advance. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or next-day removals for urgent situations such as quick tenancy changes, emergency clearances or last-minute job relocations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Putney typically cost?
The cost of a removal in Putney depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, the distance between addresses and any additional services you choose, such as packing or dismantling furniture. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. We always provide a detailed written quote so you know exactly what is included, and we’re happy to talk through options to match your budget.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
We can often arrange same-day or short-notice removals, particularly for smaller flats, student moves or partial loads. Availability will depend on our schedule, vehicle capacity and staffing on the day you contact us. If your move is urgent, it helps to be flexible on start times and prepared with packing already completed. Call us as soon as you know you need to move and we will do our best to accommodate you, or propose the earliest feasible alternative date.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded, subject to normal terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for incidents in and around your property. To ensure full protection, we ask that you point out any particularly high-value or fragile items in advance so we can record and pack them appropriately. We’re happy to explain our cover limits and exclusions before you book, and you’re welcome to supplement this with your own insurance if you wish.
What exactly is included in your removals service?
Our standard removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, protective equipment, loading at your old property, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify, and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture by prior arrangement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, and disposal of unwanted items where agreed. All inclusions and any additional services will be listed clearly in your written quotation before you confirm your booking.
How is a professional removal different from a casual man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may offer simple transport, but often without proper insurance, training or planning. With Man with Van Putney, you get a structured removals service delivered by trained staff, using appropriate vehicles and protective materials. We carry goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, provide written quotes and confirmations, and follow an agreed schedule and process. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings. For anything beyond the smallest moves, a professional removals service gives far greater reliability and peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a confirmed move date, particularly if you’re moving at the end of the month, during school holidays or on a Friday, when demand is highest. Two to four weeks’ notice is usually enough for most moves, and allows time for surveys, packing arrangements and parking permissions. However, we understand that dates can change and sometimes come together late. We’ll always try to accommodate short-notice bookings where our schedule allows.
