A local driver who knows Putney's riverside Embankment, the hilly streets climbing from the High Street and the rowing clubs along the towpath.
Putney sits where SW15 meets the Thames, and the river runs right through its identity. The Embankment is lined with rowing and boat clubs, the start of the University Boat Race, and on a clear morning the towpath is full of crews. From Putney Bridge the High Street climbs steeply up Putney Hill towards the Heath, and the streets fan out into a mix of Victorian and Edwardian villas, mansion blocks and smart conversions. It's green, well-heeled and decidedly hilly, which is a detail that matters when you're carrying a wardrobe.
The moves match the area: a flat shifted along the Embankment, a family upsizing in the streets off Upper Richmond Road, a single sofa carried up a mansion block near Putney Bridge station, or a downsizing move from a villa towards the river. The same driver carries your move the whole way, every item is protected by goods-in-transit insurance, and we're rated 5.0 on Google by the people we've moved. The rate stays consistent up hill and down: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Putney's two challenges are the river and the hill. Putney High Street and Putney Bridge Road are busy bus-heavy routes with red-route stretches and loading limits, so we load from quieter roads off them. The Embankment has restricted riverside parking and gets busy with rowers and walkers, while streets climbing Putney Hill and the villa roads off Upper Richmond Road sit in a controlled parking zone with permit-only bays and a real gradient to carry against.
For a bigger move that needs to hold a permit bay on the hill, we can advise on a short Wandsworth Council removals dispensation, which the council asks you to arrange a few days ahead. There's no Congestion Charge in SW15, and although Putney is inside the ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies. Where a flat sits high on the hill or back from the road, we'll plan the closest legal stopping point and factor the slope into the carry. Tell us the address, floor and whether it's uphill when you book.
Putney's stock is varied and often substantial: grand Victorian and Edwardian villas, many divided into spacious upper-floor flats, plus a strong run of purpose-built mansion blocks near the river and the station, and modern apartments along the Embankment. The villas mean wide staircases but heavy period furniture; the mansion blocks usually have a lift but long internal corridors; the riverside flats add loading-bay logistics.
We tailor the method to the building: dismantling beds and wardrobes and hand-balling sofas down villa staircases, using trolleys for the long mansion-block corridors, and booking lifts where they exist. The hill means we plan the carry carefully so nothing, and no one, takes an unnecessary slope. Bring us the property type, floor and lift details when you book and we'll size the job properly.
The Putney moves we're asked for most, all on the same honest rate.

Yes, the gradient is part of Putney. We plan the closest legal stopping point so we're carrying the shortest possible slope, bring extra hands for heavy items, and use trolleys and straps to move safely uphill. Tell us if the flat is high on the hill when you book.
Yes. The Embankment has restricted riverside parking and some buildings have a loading bay or lift to book, so we confirm access first and plan the kerbside time. Give us the building and floor and we'll sort the logistics before the day.
There's no Congestion Charge in SW15. Putney is inside the ULEZ, but our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge on your move. You pay £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum, with nothing hidden.
