At Removal Companies Putney, our dedicated removal van service is designed for people who want a professional, organised move without the stress. Based in the heart of Putney, we provide carefully planned, fully insured removals for homes, flats, offices and student moves across SW15 and the surrounding areas.

What Our Removal Van Service Includes

Our removal van service is more than just a vehicle and a driver. You get a trained moving team, proper equipment and a structured plan to protect your belongings and your property.

Core Service Variations

  • Small flat and studio moves within Putney and across London
  • Full house removals for 1–4 bedroom properties
  • Office and commercial moves for local businesses
  • Student removals to and from halls and shared houses

  • Internal moves within the same building or site

Every move includes a professional team, protective equipment and a clearly agreed plan before we start.

Local Removal Van Experts in Putney

Working in Putney every day means we understand the area: from riverside apartments and mansion blocks off the Upper Richmond Road, to Victorian terraces near Putney Bridge and modern developments around East Putney and Putney Heath.

  • Experience with tight streets, one-way systems and parking restrictions
  • Knowledge of building access rules for blocks and estates
  • Familiarity with local estate agents and managing agents

This local knowledge allows us to plan loading, parking and timings realistically, reducing delays and ensuring a smooth, predictable moving day.

Who Our Removal Van Service Is For

  • Homeowners – Moving between houses or into Putney from elsewhere, including chain moves where timing is critical.
  • Renters – Moving between flats, house shares and new rentals with minimal disruption and fuss.
  • Landlords – Clearing or setting up furnished properties between tenancies in a fast, organised way.
  • Businesses – Relocating offices, shops or consulting rooms with careful handling of IT and equipment.
  • Students – Moving into or out of halls and shared accommodation with cost-effective options.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

  • Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
  • Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (subject to safe disconnection)
  • Boxes – books, clothes, kitchenware, personal items
  • Office items – desks, filing cabinets, chairs, IT equipment (securely wrapped)
  • Fragile items – televisions, mirrors, glass, artwork (with proper protection)
  • Outdoor items – garden furniture, barbecues (clean and empty), tools

Items Usually Excluded

For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need special arrangements:

  • Hazardous materials – gas bottles, fuel, chemicals, paint thinners
  • Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
  • Unboxed loose items of very small size that may be easily lost
  • Very high-value items (e.g. fine art, jewellery, cash) without prior agreement
  • Pets or live animals
  • Heavy industrial machinery beyond safe manual handling limits

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise during the quotation stage so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, property type, dates and a rough idea of contents. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is included and any options such as packing or extra labour. Pricing is transparent from the outset.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a short survey. This can be virtual (video call, photos, inventory list) or onsite in Putney. The survey allows us to assess volume, access, parking and any special items, ensuring we send the right size removal van and team.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. Where we pack, we bring quality boxes, tape and wrapping materials, labelling everything clearly. Even if you pack, our team will protect key items and furniture on the day with blankets and covers.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day we arrive on time, walk through the plan and start loading systematically. Furniture is wrapped and secured, boxes are stacked safely and everything is inventoried where necessary. Our vehicles are clean, equipped with straps and blankets, and your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our care.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property we unload items into the rooms you specify. We place large furniture where you want it, reassemble any items we dismantled and check that nothing is missing or damaged before we leave. We aim to leave you ready to settle in, not surrounded by chaos.

Clear and Transparent Pricing

We believe in plain, understandable pricing. Depending on the job, we may quote:

  • A fixed price for the whole move, based on volume and access
  • An hourly rate for smaller or more flexible jobs

Your quote will explain:

  • Number of movers and size of removal van provided
  • What is included – loading, transport, unloading and basic protection
  • Any optional extras – packing service, materials, dismantling/reassembly
  • Any potential additional charges (e.g. extended waiting time due to key delays)

We do not add hidden fees on the day; if circumstances change, we discuss options with you before carrying out extra work.

Why Use a Professional Removal Van Service Instead of DIY

Hiring your own van and roping in friends can look cheaper on paper, but there are hidden costs and risks.

  • Trained movers know how to lift safely, protect properties and load vans properly.
  • We carry goods in transit and public liability insurance – most DIY moves do not.
  • Our equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets – reduces the risk of damage and injury.
  • We plan routes, parking and timing, reducing stress and delays.
  • Your time is valuable; outsourcing the physical work lets you focus on utilities, keys and family.

A casual man-and-van service may be suitable for a single item, but for a full home or office move, a structured, professional approach is usually more reliable and cost-effective overall.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. As a local Putney removals company, we operate to recognised standards and maintain appropriate insurance for your peace of mind.

  • Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while being moved in our vehicles.
  • Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property or injury.
  • Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on correct lifting techniques, wrapping methods and property protection.

We explain our cover clearly in our terms, and we are always happy to answer questions so you understand exactly how your items are protected.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

Good removals are about care as much as strength. We protect doors, bannisters and floors where needed, and use mattress covers, furniture blankets and TV protection as standard on suitable moves.

We are also working to reduce our environmental impact:

  • Reusable crates and durable packing materials where appropriate
  • Re-use of clean, strong boxes on subsequent moves
  • Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage
  • Responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted items by arrangement

Our aim is to move you efficiently while treating both your belongings and the environment with respect.

Real-World Use Cases in Putney

Moving House Within SW15

Many of our clients are upsizing or downsizing within Putney. We regularly move families between terraces off Lower Richmond Road, maisonettes near Putney Common and flats by the river, often with tight access and limited parking. Careful planning and the right removal van size keep these moves running smoothly.

Office and Practice Relocations

From small offices above shops to ground-floor consulting rooms, we move desks, files and IT equipment with minimal downtime. Evening or weekend slots can be arranged to reduce disruption to your clients and staff.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Occasionally, circumstances mean you need to move quickly – a last-minute completion, landlord notice or emergency repair. Where our schedule allows, we can provide short-notice or even same-day removal van support in Putney, prioritising safety and clear communication at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal van in Putney cost?

The cost depends on the size of your move, access at each address, distance travelled and whether you need extras such as packing or furniture dismantling. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house or office relocations are typically priced as a fixed quote. To give you an accurate figure, we ask a few questions and, for larger jobs, carry out a quick survey. There are no hidden charges, and we explain any potential extra costs, such as waiting time, before you book.

Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van bookings?

When our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice removal van services in Putney and nearby areas. Availability depends on how many teams and vehicles are already committed, so we always recommend calling us as soon as you know you need to move. For urgent moves, we simplify the process, gather essential details quickly and focus on getting the right size van and team to you safely, without cutting corners on protection or documentation.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover. This provides protection in the unlikely event of loss, damage or injury related to our work. We’ll outline the key terms and any limits in writing so you know exactly what is and isn’t covered. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional cover or special handling arrangements, which we can discuss during the quotation stage.

What is included in your removal van service?

Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, a trained moving team, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading into your new property. We provide protective blankets and equipment, and we can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials and disposal of certain unwanted items. Your written quote will list exactly what is included so you can compare options and make an informed decision.

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

A casual man-and-van is usually just a driver and vehicle on a simple hourly rate, with limited equipment, planning or protection. Our service is a structured, professional removal: trained staff, appropriate insurance, proper packing and securing of items, and a clear plan agreed in advance. We assess access, volume and special items before the move, reducing the risk of delays, damage or extra trips. For a full home or office move, this level of organisation typically saves time, stress and unexpected costs compared to a basic man-and-van option.

How far in advance should I book a removal van in Putney?

For most moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed date, ideally 2–3 weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at month-end when demand is higher. That said, we understand that dates can change, particularly with property chains, so we try to be flexible where possible. If your move is sooner, contact us anyway – we often have gaps we can use for smaller or local Putney moves, even at relatively short notice.
