Who Our Removal Van Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Putney altogether, our removal vans and trained movers manage the heavy lifting, careful packing (if requested) and safe transport of your furniture, appliances and personal possessions.

Renters

We help tenants move quickly and efficiently, often within tight timeframes set by landlords or agents. We are used to dealing with stair-only access, parking bays and permit-controlled streets in Putney.

Landlords

Our vans are ideal for clearing or refurnishing rental properties between tenancies. We can remove old furniture, deliver new items and assist with layout changes.

Businesses

From small offices to high-street shops, we move desks, filing cabinets, stock, shelving and IT equipment, keeping disruption to your operation to a minimum.

Students

Students often need a compact, cost-effective solution. Our removal van options make it easy to move boxes, suitcases, a few pieces of furniture and study equipment in one trip.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items typically included

• Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs.
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers (disconnected).
• Boxes, bags and storage containers.
• Office furniture – desks, cabinets, meeting tables, chairs.
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, printers (properly packed).
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, barbecues (clean and empty), bikes.

Items we normally exclude

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners.
• Illegal items or anything prohibited by law.
• Live animals – specialist pet transport is required.
• Very high-value items (e.g. fine art, jewellery) without prior agreement.
• Heavy industrial machinery not suitable for a standard removal van.

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you clearly at the quotation stage.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process

1. Enquiry & quote

You contact us by phone or email with your move details: addresses, dates, property size and key items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us, explaining exactly what is included.

2. Survey (virtual or onsite)

For larger moves or more complex access (e.g. top-floor flats, restricted parking), we arrange a brief survey. This may be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite in Putney. It allows us to choose the right size van, number of movers and timing.

3. Packing & preparation

You can pack your own boxes or choose our professional packing service. On moving day, we protect furniture with blankets and wraps, dismantle agreed items (such as bed frames) and prepare appliances for safe loading.

4. Loading & transport

Our team carefully carries items from your property to the van, using trolleys and ramps where needed. Everything is secured with straps and padded where appropriate. We then transport your belongings directly to your new address, taking the safest, most efficient route.

5. Unloading & placement

On arrival, we unload everything to the rooms you specify. We reassemble agreed furniture and place larger items where you want them, so you can start settling in immediately.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our removal van service in Putney is usually charged either as:

• A fixed price for the full move, agreed in advance; or
• An hourly rate for smaller, flexible jobs.

Your quote will specify:

• Number of movers and size of van.
• Estimated duration and any travel charges.
• Included services (e.g. loading, unloading, basic protection).
• Optional extras (packing, materials, dismantling/assembly).

There are no hidden charges. Any potential additional costs, such as congestion or parking fees, are discussed in advance wherever possible.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removal van service offers significant advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van from classified ads.

• Safety – trained staff handle heavy and awkward items correctly, reducing the risk of injury and damage.
• Efficiency – we plan loading and routes to minimise time and journeys.
• Reliability – booked time slots, confirmed teams, and written confirmations.
• Insurance cover – your goods are protected in transit, unlike most DIY options.
• Less stress – you focus on the move itself while we manage the physical work.

With us, you are not relying on borrowed vehicles, friends’ availability or inexperienced helpers. You get a structured, accountable service from a local company that moves people in Putney every day.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We understand that you are trusting us with your belongings, many of which have significant financial or sentimental value. That is why we maintain:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items against loss or damage while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work.
• Trained moving teams – staff are briefed, experienced and supervised to follow safe handling procedures.

We are committed to clear communication, punctuality and respectful behaviour in and around your property.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your belongings is central to how we work. We use padded blankets, straps, corner protectors and, where required, mattress and sofa covers to reduce the risk of knocks and scuffs. Items are loaded methodically to avoid pressure points or movement during transit.

We also take a responsible approach to the environment. Our vans are maintained for fuel efficiency, and we plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage. Reusable packing materials are used wherever possible, and we can advise on reusing or recycling boxes and materials after your move.

Real-World Use Cases for Our Removal Vans in Putney

Moving house within Putney

Typical example: a family moving from a flat near Putney Bridge to a house closer to the Common. We provide a survey, two or three movers and a larger van, complete the move in one day, and place furniture in the correct rooms at the new property.

Office relocation

Typical example: a small business shifting from serviced offices to their own space. We move desks, chairs, IT equipment and files after hours or at the weekend to minimise downtime, coordinating with building management where required.

Urgent or same-day moves

Typical example: a renter needing to move out at short notice due to a contract change. Subject to availability, we can allocate a removal van and team the same day, focusing on safe but rapid loading, transport and handover.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal van in Putney cost?

The cost depends on factors such as the size of your property, volume of items, access at each address and distance travelled. Smaller moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full home or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. To give you an accurate figure, we ask a few simple questions or carry out a short survey. All quotes are transparent and itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for before you book.

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

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Putney, especially for smaller jobs, but it depends on van and crew availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your addresses, preferred times and key items. We will confirm quickly what we can offer and provide a clear price. While we always prioritise safety and care, we can work efficiently to meet tight deadlines where required.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicles, along with public liability cover for work at your properties. Insurance has limits and conditions, which we are happy to explain before you book. We also pack and secure your items carefully to minimise the risk of any damage in the first place. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, please mention them so we can advise on the best approach.

What is included in your removal van service?

Our standard service includes a suitable van, a professional driver and removals team, loading at your current property, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We provide blankets and securing straps as standard. Additional services, such as full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and provision of packing materials, can be added to your quote. We always confirm in writing what is included so there are no surprises on moving day.

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

A casual man-and-van typically offers a vehicle and a driver only, often without insurance, training or clear terms. Our service is a structured removals operation with trained staff, proper equipment, insurance cover and a defined process from enquiry to completion. We plan your move, protect your belongings, and provide accountability if anything goes wrong. For small, low-risk jobs a basic service may be enough, but for most home or office moves, a professional removal van service offers far greater peace of mind.

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

For peak times (weekends, month-end and summer), we recommend booking at least two to three weeks ahead to secure your preferred date and time. For smaller or more flexible moves, we can often find space with less notice, particularly on weekdays. If your moving date is not fixed yet, we can discuss provisional options and keep in touch as things progress. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have on timing and service options.
