At Putney Man and Van, we provide organised, stress-free house removals in Putney and the surrounding areas.

We support a wide range of customers across Putney and nearby areas:

Local Expertise in Putney

Based in Putney, we understand the realities of moving here: narrow roads off Putney High Street, controlled parking zones, bridge traffic and period properties with tight staircases. We plan loading and access around local restrictions and, where required, can assist with arranging parking suspensions.

Our crews regularly move customers in and around Putney, including Putney Heath, West Putney, East Putney and surrounding SW postcodes, so we know how to avoid common hold-ups and keep your move running on time.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with the basic details of your move: addresses, property size, preferred dates and any special items. We provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and explain the options available, such as packing services or dismantling furniture. There are no hidden fees: everything is broken down so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We then carry out a survey, either by video call or an onsite visit, to assess access, parking, volume of goods and any fragile or heavy items. This allows us to send the right size vehicle and crew and to confirm a fixed quotation where appropriate. The survey is also your chance to ask questions and highlight anything that needs special care.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer flexible packing options:

• Full packing service – our trained team packs everything using quality boxes and materials.
• Part packing – we pack fragile items such as glass, pictures and kitchenware.
• Self-packing – you pack; we supply materials if needed.

On moving day, we protect floors and doors where required and carefully prepare furniture, including dismantling beds and wardrobes if agreed in advance.

4. Loading & Transport

Our experienced movers load your belongings systematically, securing everything inside the vehicle with straps and protective blankets. Heavy items are handled using the correct equipment and safe lifting techniques to protect both the load and the property. Your goods are transported directly to your new address, with route planning that takes local traffic and access into account.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling any items we dismantled. We work efficiently but without rushing, taking care to avoid scuffs and damage. Before we leave, we will walk through the property with you to check that everything is in the right place and that you are satisfied.

Transparent Pricing – How Our Charges Work

Every move is different, so we price according to the details of your job rather than using a one-size-fits-all rate. Our quotes typically consider:

• Property sizes at collection and delivery addresses
• Volume of items and any unusual or heavy pieces
• Distance between addresses
• Access issues (stairs, lifts, long carries, limited parking)
• Whether packing, materials or furniture assembly are required
• Day of the week and any out-of-hours requirements

We explain the pricing clearly in writing. If extra work is likely (for example, waiting time for keys), we tell you upfront so you understand any possible additional charges.

Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removals company typically saves time, reduces risk and protects your belongings. Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van may look cheaper on paper, but it often means multiple trips, poor packing, higher risk of damage and no proper insurance.

With Putney Man and Van you benefit from experienced crews, suitable vehicles, professional handling techniques and proper planning. That means fewer breakages, less physical strain and a move that is far more manageable, especially if you have work, children or a tight completion schedule to juggle.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear standards of care. Our services include:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties while we are working.
• Trained moving teams – staff are properly instructed in packing, lifting and securing loads, as well as customer care.

Policy details and limits are available on request, and we are happy to explain how cover applies to your particular move.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Working

Your possessions are handled as if they were our own. We use protective blankets, mattress covers, TV covers and other materials where required to reduce the risk of damage. Floors and banisters can be protected on request, particularly in newly decorated properties.

We also take a practical approach to sustainability: reusing strong cartons where appropriate, offering collection of reusable boxes after your move, and planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions. Our aim is to move you safely while keeping waste to a minimum.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House Within Putney

For families upsizing from a flat near Putney Bridge to a house on Putney Heath, we manage the entire process: advance parking plans, careful packing of children’s belongings, timed key collection and set-up of furniture at the new address so you can settle in quickly.

Office and Home-Office Relocations

Small businesses and home workers rely on us to move computers, files and office furniture with minimal downtime. We label and position desks and equipment as agreed so you can get back to work promptly.

Urgent or Last-Minute Moves

When completion dates move or tenancies change suddenly, we do our best to offer short-notice or same-day assistance, subject to availability. Our local base in Putney helps us respond quickly where we can.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Putney cost?

The cost of a house removal in Putney depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access at both addresses, distance travelled and whether you need packing or furniture assembly. After a short survey, we provide a clear written quotation with all agreed services included. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges, such as waiting for keys or long carries, are explained in advance. For a realistic figure tailored to your move, it is best to request a personalised quote.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

We can often help with same-day or urgent moves, particularly within Putney and nearby areas, but it depends on vehicle and crew availability. If your completion date changes at short notice or you have an unexpected tenancy issue, contact us as early in the day as possible. We will check our schedule and advise what is realistically achievable, including approximate timings and costs. While we can’t guarantee emergency slots, being local means we can sometimes respond more quickly than larger, distant firms.

What insurance cover do you provide?

We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work carried out at your properties. These policies are designed to offer protection in the unlikely event of damage or loss, subject to policy terms, conditions and limits. During booking, we can explain the cover in plain language and highlight any items that may require special attention or additional valuation. If you have very high-value possessions, we recommend discussing them with us in advance.

What is included in your house removals service?

Our standard house removals service includes a pre-move assessment, provision of a suitable vehicle and professional crew, loading, transport and unloading into your new home. We place furniture in the rooms you choose and can dismantle and reassemble agreed items. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials and disposal of unwanted but acceptable items by prior arrangement. We do not handle hazardous materials or pets, and we ask that valuables such as jewellery and important documents are carried by you personally where possible.

How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?

A professional removals service provides structured planning, trained staff, appropriate insurance and the right equipment for moving homes. A casual man-and-van may be suitable for a few items, but often lacks formal insurance, packing knowledge and the capacity to manage full properties or complex access. With Putney Man and Van, you get an organised process: survey, clear quotation, proper packing and secure loading. This greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays or disputes and is usually more cost-effective overall for a full house move.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a firm moving date, typically one to three weeks in advance for local moves. This gives us time to arrange surveys, parking and any packing services you require, and it increases the chance of securing your preferred day and time. If your dates are not yet confirmed, we can pencil you in and adjust once you know more. We will always try to accommodate short-notice bookings, but availability is naturally more limited close to the date.
