A local driver who knows West Putney's Dover House Estate, the quiet roads off Putney Heath and the green sweep up towards Richmond Park.
West Putney is the calmer, greener half of SW15, the side of Putney that climbs away from the High Street towards Putney Heath and the Dover House Estate. It's residential and leafy: the Dover House (or "LCC cottage") Estate is a well-loved garden-suburb-style development of cottage-y homes around Dover House Road, and beyond it the Heath opens out, with the old Telegraph pub tucked into the trees off Wildcroft Road. It feels a world away from the riverside bustle, even though it's all one postcode.
The moves here lean family and settled: a house move within the Dover House Estate, a flat shifted off Putney Hill, a couple relocating from a smaller place down by the river, or a wardrobe carried up a 1920s cottage. One vetted driver handles your move from door to door, every piece is covered by goods-in-transit insurance, and our work is rated 5.0 on Google. The rate is consistent across this leafy end of SW15: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
West Putney is quieter to access than the High Street side, but it has its own quirks. The Dover House Estate roads, including Dover House Road itself, are a curving, garden-suburb layout with on-street permit parking and some narrow stretches, while the roads off Putney Hill and around Putney Heath sit in a controlled parking zone with permit-only bays. The main routes, Roehampton Lane and Upper Richmond Road, carry buses and busier traffic, so we load off them where we can.
For a larger load on one of the estate or hillside permit bays, we can advise on a short Wandsworth Council removals dispensation, which is straightforward to arrange a few days ahead. There's no Congestion Charge in SW15, and although West Putney is inside the ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies. Because there's no station in the immediate area, parking pressure is often lighter than nearer East Putney, but on the curving estate roads we'll still plan the closest legal stopping point. Tell us the address and floor when you book.
West Putney's housing is distinctive. The Dover House Estate is largely 1920s cottage-style houses and maisonettes with gardens, generally a manageable carry but often full family homes; around Putney Hill and the Heath you find larger Edwardian and inter-war houses, mansion blocks and well-kept conversions. There are some newer flats too, but the dominant feel is settled, green and low-rise.
For the cottage and house moves we bring extra hands where the volume warrants it, dismantle beds, wardrobes and garden furniture, and wrap everything in blankets and straps. Mansion blocks usually have a lift but long corridors, so we bring trolleys for those. Whatever the property, flag the type, floor and any stairs when you book and we'll size the job and the time correctly.
The West Putney moves we're asked for most, all on one honest rate.
