• Home removals – houses, flats, maisonettes and shared accommodation
• Office and business removals – SMEs, shops and studios

Every move is planned around your property, access, timings and budget, with clear communication from first enquiry to final placement of furniture.

Local Expertise: Moving In and Around Putney

Operating daily around Putney Bridge, Upper Richmond Road, Putney High Street and the surrounding residential streets gives us a practical advantage over non-local removal companies. We understand:

• Local parking restrictions and loading bays
• Typical access issues in period conversions and mansion blocks
• Rush-hour traffic patterns and river crossing routes
• How to work considerately in shared hallways and tight stairwells

This local knowledge means more accurate timings, fewer surprises on moving day and a calmer experience for you and your neighbours.

Who Our Putney Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

We regularly help families and individuals upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London. Our team can manage full household removals, including packing, protection and careful placement of furniture and appliances in your new home.

Renters

Whether you are moving between rented flats or out of a house share, we offer flexible, cost-effective removals that fit around check-in/check-out times, inventories and key handovers.

Landlords

Landlords and letting agents use us to clear properties between tenancies, move in furnishings or relocate items to storage. We work efficiently and respectfully to protect your property and flooring.

Businesses

From small offices to retail units, we handle office and commercial moves with minimal disruption. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archive boxes out-of-hours or at weekends by arrangement.

Students

Students in Putney and nearby universities benefit from our smaller-load options, ideal for boxes, bags, a few pieces of furniture and bikes. We can move you between halls, house shares and home with clear, predictable pricing.

What Our Removals Service Includes

Typical Items We Move

Our trained teams routinely move:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Chest of drawers, sideboards and bookcases
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers (disconnected)
• TVs, audio equipment and home electronics
• Office furniture, filing cabinets and boxed paperwork
• Clothing, books, kitchenware and personal effects
• Outdoor items such as garden furniture and barbecues (clean and safe)

Items We Cannot or Generally Do Not Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot carry. These typically include:

• Hazardous materials such as gas cylinders, fuel, paint thinners and chemicals
• Illegal items or anything that breaches regulations
• Live animals (including pets and livestock)
• Perishable food for long-distance moves
• Large commercial machinery requiring specialist lifting
• Very high-value items that require a dedicated specialist carrier (by prior agreement we may make exceptions with additional cover)

We will always explain clearly what is and is not included during your quotation so you can plan accordingly.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with the basic details of your move: addresses, property types, dates and an overview of contents. We provide an initial estimate and explain the most suitable service options for your situation.

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 onsite visit. We assess access, parking, the volume of items and any special requirements. This allows us to give you a clear, fixed quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

On moving day – or the day before for larger moves – our professional team arrives with appropriate materials. We can:

• Provide a full packing service
• Supply boxes and materials for you to pack yourself
• Wrap and protect fragile items, mirrors and artwork
• Dismantle furniture where necessary for safe transport

4. Loading & Transport

We protect floors and doorways where needed, then carefully load your belongings into our vehicles, using ties and padding to prevent movement in transit. Our drivers choose sensible routes based on traffic and vehicle size, with clear communication if there are any delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload in an organised way, placing boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled and make sure key items like beds and sofas are in place before we leave. You can check each room and raise any queries before the team departs.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We price our Putney removals work based on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access conditions (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions)
• Level of service (with or without packing, dismantling, etc.)
• Day of the week and time of day

You receive a written quotation outlining exactly what is included, the number of movers and vehicles, and any optional extras. We avoid vague hourly rates without context; where hourly pricing is appropriate, we explain likely total hours so you can budget confidently.

Why Use a Professional Removal Company Instead of DIY?

Hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper on paper, but in reality there are often extra costs and risks: multiple trips, damage to property, injury from incorrect lifting, and lost time. As a fully insured removal company, we bring:

• Trained staff who move heavy and awkward items every day
• Specialist equipment such as dollies, straps and protective covers
• Appropriate vehicle size so everything fits in one go where possible
• Planned timings and coordination with your key handover
• Insurance-backed protection that casual man-and-van operators may not provide

The result is a safer, more efficient move with significantly reduced risk of damage or disruption.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Putney Man and Van operates as a fully insured removals business. Our cover includes:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property

Our crews are trained in safe lifting, loading and handling techniques, as well as how to protect floors, bannisters and doorframes. We work to recognised industry best practice, maintaining clean, well-maintained vehicles and using suitable packing materials for each job.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and property with the same care we would use in our own homes. This includes:

• Blanketing and wrapping furniture and fragile items
• Using mattress covers and TV/monitor protection where needed
• Protecting carpets, wooden floors and communal areas

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:

• Reuse strong cartons and packing materials
• Offer crate hire as a reusable alternative to single-use boxes
• Plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage

Real-World Uses for Our Putney Removals Service

Moving House Within or Away from Putney

Whether you are moving from a riverside flat to a family home or relocating out of London entirely, we handle all aspects of your house move so you can focus on the legal and practical details.

Office and Business Relocations

We help Putney businesses move between offices, set up new premises or downsize. We can schedule moves for evenings or weekends to keep downtime to a minimum and can work alongside your IT support for a smooth transition.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – a tenancy change, a buyer wanting a quick completion, or a last-minute change of plan. Where our schedule allows, we offer short-notice and same-day removals within Putney and the surrounding areas. We will always be transparent about what can realistically be achieved in the time available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Putney typically cost?

The cost of a removal in Putney depends on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses, access conditions and the level of service you choose. A small local flat move may be only a few hundred pounds, while a full three or four-bedroom house with packing will cost more. After a short discussion and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a clear, written quotation so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Putney, especially for smaller properties and partial loads. Availability depends on our schedule and vehicle allocation, so the sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can help. When we take on a short-notice move, we are honest about timings, what is achievable and any restrictions. We will still follow our standard safety and protection procedures, even on urgent jobs.

What insurance cover do you provide?

We operate as a fully insured removal company. Your belongings are protected by goods in transit insurance while they are in our care and in our vehicles. We also carry public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage to third-party property, such as communal areas. During quotation we will outline the main terms and limits of cover and can discuss any particularly high-value items that may require additional arrangements. Our aim is to give you confidence that your possessions are properly protected.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, a suitably sized professional team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We also include basic protection such as furniture blankets and strapping. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours moves. All inclusions and exclusions are detailed in your written quotation, so you can see clearly what is covered and decide whether to add any additional services.

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

A basic man-and-van service can be useful for very small jobs, but it often lacks the structure, protection and cover of a dedicated removal company. We provide trained teams, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, appropriate vehicles, surveys for larger moves and a written quotation. We also bring specialist equipment and materials to protect your belongings and property. This level of organisation significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, especially for full home or office moves.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For the best choice of dates, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking your Putney removal at least two to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates can change, so we aim to be as flexible as possible. If your dates are not yet confirmed, we can pencil you in and firm up once you exchange contracts or sign your tenancy agreement. For last-minute moves, it is always worth calling – if we have availability, we will do our best to help.
