A local driver who knows Roehampton's Alton Estate towers, the walk-ups off Danebury Avenue and the green edge by Richmond Park.
Roehampton sits at the leafy western edge of SW15, between Putney and the vast green of Richmond Park and Putney Heath. Its defining feature is the Alton Estate, one of the largest and most celebrated post-war council estates in the country, a landscape of modernist slab towers and low walk-ups set among mature trees off Roehampton Lane and Danebury Avenue. Add the campuses of the University of Roehampton and a village core, and you've got a genuine mix of estate flats, student housing and family homes.
The moves reflect that variety: a flat shifted within the Alton Estate, a student move at the start or end of term near Roehampton Lane, a sofa carried up a walk-up off Danebury Avenue, or a family move on the quieter village streets. One vetted driver handles the whole job, your belongings are covered by goods-in-transit insurance, and our Google rating stands at 5.0. The rate stays the same across the estate and the village: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Roehampton has no station of its own, so it's a bus-and-road area, and the main spine is Roehampton Lane, a busy through-route with bus lanes and stretches where you can't stop. Around the Alton Estate the layout is the real consideration: Danebury Avenue and the estate roads wind between slab blocks and walk-ups, often with the nearest vehicle access set back from the flat itself, meaning a longer hand-carry across grass and walkways.
Estate parking is usually permit-controlled, and for a larger move we can advise on a short Wandsworth Council removals dispensation arranged a few days ahead. There's no Congestion Charge in SW15, and although Roehampton is inside the ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies. We plan the closest legal stopping point to your block and bring trolleys for the walkway carry. Tell us the block, floor and whether there's a working lift when you book.
Roehampton's housing is led by the Alton Estate: tall slab and point blocks with lifts (when they're running) and low-rise maisonettes and walk-ups without them. The walk-ups mean external staircases and landings, while the towers mean lift-booking, narrow lift cars and a carry across communal walkways to reach the vehicle. Around the village and the university there are also period houses, student accommodation and newer infill flats.
For tower flats we work to the lift and bring trolleys for the walkway distance; for walk-ups we hand-ball furniture down the external stairs and dismantle beds, wardrobes and bulky sofas to get them round tight landings. We protect everything with blankets and straps as standard. Flag the block type, floor and lift status when you book so we size the time correctly.

Roehampton has no rail or Tube station of its own; the nearest are Barnes and Putney with buses along Roehampton Lane. It doesn't matter for us, we drive door to door, so just give us your block or street and we'll plan the route and the parking.
Yes. On the Alton Estate the vehicle access is often set back from the block, so we plan the closest legal stopping point and bring trolleys for the carry across walkways and grass. For walk-ups we hand-ball items down the external stairs and dismantle anything that won't turn.
