Who Our Furniture Removal Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house within Putney or further afield, we can handle all your large furniture – beds, wardrobes, tables, sofas, cabinets and more. We protect floors, bannisters and doors while we work, and we can dismantle and reassemble many standard items where needed.
Renters & Flat Moves
Flats often mean tight stairwells, lifts and parking challenges. Our team is used to navigating Putney apartment blocks and mansion flats calmly and safely. We can move your furniture in one go or over several trips to suit your tenancy dates and schedules.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We regularly help landlords and agents with furnished property moves, furniture refreshes, and end-of-tenancy clear-overs. We can remove old, damaged or unwanted items and deliver new pieces from stores or storage, all with clear communication and punctual attendance.
Businesses & Offices
Offices, shops and studios in Putney rely on us for office furniture removals, including desks, chairs, filing cabinets, meeting tables and reception furniture. We can work out of hours to reduce downtime and follow your floor plans when placing items in the new space.
Students
Students moving to and from halls, shared houses or studios in Putney can book our smaller vehicles for affordable student furniture moves. We can move beds, desks, drawers and a few boxes in one neat, efficient trip.

Our Step‑by‑Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your details: addresses, access information, list of furniture and preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation explaining what is included. We are always happy to adjust the quote if your requirements change.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or awkward properties, we may arrange a short video call or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, staircases, lifts and parking, and identify any furniture that may need dismantling. A proper survey helps prevent surprises and ensures we send the right team and vehicle.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to prepare your furniture yourself or add our packing and wrapping service. We use blankets, mattress bags, sofa covers and protective wrap to shield surfaces and corners. Items like wardrobes and beds can be dismantled where appropriate and hardware is bagged clearly for reassembly.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and starts loading. Heavy items are lifted by two or more movers, using the correct equipment and techniques. Furniture is secured inside the vehicle with straps and padding to prevent movement during transit.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload items carefully and place each piece in the room you choose. Where we have dismantled furniture, we reassemble it as agreed. Before leaving, we invite you to check that everything is where you want it and that you are satisfied with the condition of your furniture.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are usually based on:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Distance between properties
- Access (stairs, lifts, long walks, parking)
- Number of movers required
- Optional extras, such as packing or dismantling
We set out clearly what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. If extra work is likely – for example, additional collections, storage or packing materials – we explain this in advance. No hidden charges, and no unexpected fees on the day.
Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Over DIY
Moving furniture yourself or using an unproven casual service can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays or injury. Our professional service provides:
- Experienced movers who know how to handle heavy and awkward items safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and protective covers
- Efficient loading and unloading to save time and stress
- Documented insurance cover for your belongings and property
- A confirmed booking with arrival times, not vague promises
For most people, especially in busy areas like Putney, using a professional service simply makes the day more manageable and protects both your furniture and your property.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Putney Man and Van operates to clear, reliable standards to give you peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture while it is being transported in our vehicles
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to your property
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting techniques and handling best practice
We can explain our cover limits and conditions on request, and we will always advise if any item needs special attention or additional protection. Our aim is to provide a dependable service built on care, not on cutting corners.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your furniture is protected at every stage. We use padded blankets, wraps and covers to shield fabrics, wood and glass. We take particular care around corners, staircases and doorways to avoid marks and scrapes.
Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and minimise single-use plastics. Our routes are planned sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage. We also donate usable furniture to local charities when clients request ethical disposal, helping to extend the life of items that are still in good condition.
Real‑World Uses of Our Furniture Removals in Putney
Moving House
From first-time buyers to families trading up or downsizing, we handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on the rest of your move. We coordinate with your timing, keys and completion dates to keep the day running smoothly.
Office Relocations
When businesses relocate within or out of Putney, we move workstations, meeting room furniture and storage units efficiently. We can label and place items according to your new floor plan, so your team can get back to work quickly.
Urgent or Short‑Notice Moves
Situations change – a last-minute tenancy switch, a quick sale, or an urgent clearance. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or short-notice furniture removals, prioritising safety and clear communication even when time is tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Putney cost?
Costs depend mainly on the amount and type of furniture, access at each address, distance travelled and how many movers are required. Smaller jobs, such as moving a few items locally, are usually priced at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger home or office moves are typically quoted as a fixed price so you know exactly what to budget. We provide a clear written quotation before you commit, outlining what is included, and we are happy to adjust it if your requirements change.
Can you handle same‑day or urgent furniture removals?
Yes, we often can, depending on existing bookings and vehicle availability. If you need a same‑day or very short‑notice move, contact us as early as possible with a clear list of items and addresses. We will check our schedule and let you know what we can realistically offer. Even for urgent work, we still follow a structured approach – confirming the job details, advising on preparation, and ensuring that the move remains safe and properly insured from start to finish.
What insurance cover do you provide for my furniture?
We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture while it is being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. These policies are designed for normal domestic and office furniture removals. Specific limits and conditions apply, which we can share on request. For unusually high-value items or specialist pieces, additional cover or specialist handling may be recommended. We always encourage clients to tell us about any particularly valuable items so we can advise on the best way to protect them.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes loading your furniture at the collection address, secure transport in our vehicle, and unloading and placing items into the rooms you choose at the destination. We supply protective blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include packing and wrapping services, dismantling and reassembling certain furniture, additional collections or drop‑offs, and provision of packing materials. Your quotation will clearly state what is included and any optional services you have requested, so there are no surprises on moving day.
How is your service different from a basic man‑and‑van?
While we offer the flexibility of a man‑and‑van, our operation is run as a professional removals service. That means trained staff, proper planning, written quotations and documented insurance cover. We carry specialist moving equipment, use appropriate protective materials, and follow a structured process rather than treating each job as an informal favour. For you, the difference is reliability, accountability and the confidence that your furniture is being handled by people who do this every day, not as a side job.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For most moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time slot, such as a weekend or month‑end. During busier periods, such as summer and around university term dates, earlier booking is advisable. That said, we understand that moves are not always predictable, and we will always try to accommodate short‑notice requests where our schedule allows. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can usually offer.
