Removals Putney: Flats, Mansion Blocks and Family Homes
Putney’s housing is mostly flats: Edwardian mansion blocks, Victorian houses split into conversions, flats above the shops on Putney High Street and newer developments by the river. Each one comes with its own access conditions – how many floors, whether there is a lift, how far the van is from the front door, and what the building management allows. Our free survey answers those questions before we price the job, so the quote reflects the real work involved.
Removals in Putney are part of our house removals across South West London, and we move SW15 customers across London and the surrounding areas through our London house removals service. If you are moving along the river, we also cover removals in Barnes to the west and removals in Fulham just across Putney Bridge.
Why Choose W & W Movers as Your Removal Company in Putney
Choosing the right removal company in Putney, and the right removal services for your moving needs, comes down to a few things you can check before you book: a survey before the price, a written quote, clear insurance and clear communication from the first call to the last box. The crew that surveys your home is the crew that moves it – experienced staff, no subcontractors, no change of team halfway through. You get a personalised service built around your building, your dates and your budget, and Putney customers can contact us by phone or through the quote form. Many removal companies quote from a list of rooms; as a removal company that prices from a survey, we would rather see the stairs first. Every Putney move comes with:
- A free survey at your address before we confirm the price
- Goods-in-transit cover up to £25,000 and public liability insurance
- A fixed, itemised quote sent on the same working day, showing labour, vans, materials and insurance separately
- Protection for communal areas – stair runners, lift padding and door-frame guards, which many Putney managing agents require
- Furniture dismantling and reassembly included as standard
- ULEZ-compliant Luton vans with no emissions surcharge
- Wandsworth parking support – we can apply for your bay suspension

House Removals Putney: Edwardian Terraces, Mansion Blocks and Riverside Flats
Our house removals and domestic removals in Putney cover every type of property in the area, and each one needs a different plan:
- Mansion blocks around Putney Hill, Upper Richmond Road and East Putney station – often small lifts or none at all, turning stairs and narrow staircases that mean wardrobes and bed frames leave the flat in pieces
- Victorian terrace and Edwardian terraces conversions – a first-floor or top-floor flat reached by a shared hallway, where we protect the communal stairs before anything moves
- Family houses towards Putney Heath – more volume, longer driveways and often a garden room or loft to clear
- Riverside developments along the Embankment and Lower Richmond Road – lifts, but also booked loading bays and building rules
For mansion blocks we check lift dimensions at the survey and measure the largest pieces against the stairwell. If something cannot go through at all, we tell you before moving day, not on it. If the managing agent needs access arrangements agreed in advance, send us the building rules with your booking.
Access Restrictions and the Loading Position on Putney High Street
Flats above the shops on Putney High Street and the roads around Putney Bridge are central and well connected, but loading there needs care. The High Street is a busy bus route with parking restrictions and loading limits, so the van often has to stop on a side street. We agree the best loading position at the survey, time the work to avoid the busiest hours, and bring trolleys and extra hands to keep the carry short.
On the river side, Putney Embankment and the streets off Lower Richmond Road are home to rowing clubs and riverside flats. Once a year, the Boat Race starts here and closes roads along the river. If you can, avoid that weekend when you choose your moving date.
Student and Short-Let Moves around Roehampton and Putney Heath
Putney and Roehampton have a large rental market, with students at the University of Roehampton, young professionals in flat shares and families on short lets. Moving home at the start or end of a tenancy usually means a smaller load and a tight deadline. For these moves, our man and van across London is often the most affordable option: two movers, one Luton van, charged by the hour. We can also collect single items, such as a sofa bought second-hand or a desk going to a new flat, through our furniture collection service.
Your Putney Move in 4 Easy Steps
Schedule a Survey
Book a visit from our moving specialists who will evaluate your requirements on-site. We’ll design a move strategy that’s perfectly tailored to your needs, including handling any special items you may have.
Careful Packing
Trust our professional team to securely pack all your belongings using advanced packing techniques and materials. From delicate glassware to large furniture, your possessions are in safe hands.
Efficient Unpacking
Once we arrive at your new location, our team will not only unload but also help you settle in by placing items where you want them. We ensure everything is arranged to your satisfaction before we leave.
Storage Options
If you need more time before moving everything, consider our storage with collection . We offer secure, flexible options to store your belongings for any length of time, ensuring they stay protected until you’re ready.
Smaller Putney Moves by the Hour
For studios, room moves and single items, our man and van in Putney runs at the same hourly rates as across London:
| Option | Crew | Rate | Minimum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly | 2 movers + Luton van | £80/hour + VAT | 3 hours |
| Hourly | 3 movers + Luton van | £100/hour + VAT | 4 hours |
| Full day | 2 movers + Luton van | £600 + VAT | – |
| Full day | 3 movers + Luton van | £750 + VAT | – |
For a mansion block flat on an upper floor without a lift, we recommend the three-person option: stairs slow every carry, and a third mover usually shortens the job enough to cover the difference. For two bedrooms and above, a fixed price from the survey normally works out better. Full details are on our hourly man and van rates page, and for moves just over the river see our man and van in Fulham.
Packing Services in Putney
Our packing services are optional packing, not a bundle you have to buy, and they are carried out by the same professional team that moves you. Choose what you need:
- Materials only – we deliver boxes, wardrobe cartons, tape, bubble wrap and mattress covers before your move
- Partial packing – we pack the kitchen, glassware, mirrors, artwork and electronics, and you pack the rest
- Full packing service – we pack and label every room so you have nothing to prepare
In mansion block flats, we pack large items so they fit the lift or the stairs, and we carry boxes down in stacks that suit the staircase rather than the van.
Storage in Putney When Completion Dates Do Not Match
Completion dates slip, new builds run late and renovations overrun. Storage in Putney bridges that gap. As a removals and storage company, we can collect from your Putney flat, inventory everything and keep it in secure storage until your new house is ready. Our flexible storage with collection solutions run from a week to several months and also suit businesses that need to clear a floor during a refit. One contract covers the removal, the storage service and the redelivery.
Commercial Removals and Office Moves in Putney
Putney businesses include small offices, studios, clinics and shops around the High Street, Upper Richmond Road and Putney Bridge Road. Our commercial removals are planned with a written schedule, labelled crates and evening or weekend slots, so businesses can close on Friday and open in the new premises on Monday. Every commercial job is priced after a site visit. For office removals we dismantle and rebuild desks and shelving, pack IT equipment in anti-static materials, move confidential files securely and keep your clients informed with a clear timeline.
Specialist items are handled by the same insured movers, including piano removals (two movers for an upright, four for a grand) and appliance moves. For fridge-only jobs, see our fridge movers.
Parking Bay Suspensions in Putney
Most of the Putney area is inside Wandsworth Council’s controlled parking zones. A bay suspension reserves space outside your home for the van. Wandsworth Council charges a booking fee that depends on how much notice you give, plus a daily charge for each space, and needs at least five clear working days’ notice. We can submit the application on your behalf – the earlier we apply, the lower the booking fee.
Moving Home Across the River from Putney
Putney Bridge connects SW15 with Fulham, which is in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham. A move across the bridge is short in distance but involves two councils with different parking rules and charges. We arrange both suspensions, plan the timing around bridge traffic, and keep the same crew on both sides of the river.
We also cover moves from Putney to Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Barnes, Richmond and the rest of South West London and West London, as well as to the areas just outside London. Contact our team with both postcodes and we will plan the route and timing at the survey.
Moving Day Checklist for Your Putney Move
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| 3 weeks before | Book the survey and moving day. Ask us to apply to Wandsworth Council for the bay suspension. Check building rules with your managing agent |
| 2 weeks before | Confirm the parking spot, lift booking and any access arrangements at the new address. Order packing materials |

Putney Focus: Community & Lifestyle Insights
Which part of London is Putney? It is in South West London, on the south bank of the Thames in the London Borough of Wandsworth, with Fulham across the river and Wimbledon and Richmond close by. The Embankment is home to rowing clubs and the start of the Boat Race, Putney Heath and Putney Common give the area a lot of open space, and East Putney station on the District line and Putney station on South Western Railway make it easy to reach the centre.
Putney is one of the more affluent parts of South West London, with period houses on the hill and mansion flats near the High Street, but it also has a large rental market around Roehampton. That variety is why no two Putney removals are the same. Book a free survey and we will plan your move around your building and your street, so the whole process stays a stress free experience from the first call to the last box.
