About Us
About Man and a Van Putney
Man and a Van Putney is a local removal company rooted in the heart of SW15, providing dependable man and van services for homes, flats and businesses across Putney and the surrounding areas. From the terraced streets off Putney High Street to the riverside apartments along Deodar Road and the family homes around Putney Heath, we offer a friendly, reliable and affordable area removal service that is truly part of the community.
Our Story
Our journey began over ten years ago with a simple idea: to create a local Man and a Van Putney service that people could genuinely trust. We started with a single van, helping neighbours move between flats near Putney Bridge and small offices off Upper Richmond Road. Word of mouth quickly spread and, as more residents recommended us to friends around East Putney, Putney Hill and West Putney, our small operation grew into a full-service removal company in the area.
Today, we are proud to have a growing fleet of well-maintained vehicles and a dedicated team of trained staff. Despite this growth, we have stayed true to our original values: honest pricing, careful handling of belongings and a personal, local touch with every move.
Years of Local Experience
For over a decade, Man and a Van Putney has been helping people move in and around Putney, Roehampton, Wandsworth and the wider SW London area. We know the local streets, estates and traffic patterns inside out, from navigating school-run traffic near Putney High School to planning routes that avoid busy times on Putney Bridge Road and Lower Richmond Road.
This local knowledge helps us provide a smoother, more efficient area removal service. Whether you are moving from a flat in the Whitelands Park development, a house on Putney Heath, or student accommodation near the University of Roehampton, we understand the specific access, parking and timing challenges you might face.
Licensed and Environmentally Responsible
Man and a Van Putney is fully licensed with the Environment Agency as an upper tier waste carrier, broker and dealer. This means we are legally authorised to transport and dispose of unwanted items, furniture and waste from your property in a responsible way.
We take our environmental responsibilities seriously. Instead of simply sending items to landfill, we sort and direct suitable materials to local recycling facilities, including borough recycling centres such as Smugglers Way and Cringle Dock. By working alongside Wandsworth Council facilities and approved recycling partners, we ensure that as much as possible is reused, recycled or repurposed.
Our Trained and Friendly Team
Every member of our Man and a Van Putney team receives training in safe lifting, secure loading and careful handling of possessions. We understand that we are often moving more than just boxes and furniture; we are moving memories, valuables and cherished belongings.
Our staff are trained to protect both your items and your property, from stairwells in mansion blocks off Putney Hill to narrow hallways in Victorian terraces near Putney Common. Protective blankets, straps and equipment are used as standard, and our team will always treat your home, building managers and neighbours with respect.
Our Mission
Our mission is to be the most trusted and recommended Man and a Van Putney service by combining professional standards with genuine local care. We aim to make moving easier and less stressful for residents, landlords, students and businesses while keeping our environmental impact as low as possible.
We believe a great removal company in the area should be reliable, transparent and community-minded. That means clear pricing, punctual arrivals, honest advice on planning your move, and a willingness to go the extra mile when you need it most.
Eco-Responsibility and Recycling Partnerships
Eco-responsibility sits at the heart of how we operate. Our vans are regularly serviced to reduce emissions, and we plan routes around Putney and neighbouring areas to minimise unnecessary mileage. Whenever we clear properties or remove unwanted items, we separate materials for reuse and recycling.
We work with local charities and community organisations so that furniture and household items still in good condition can be donated or rehomed where possible. Items that cannot be reused are sent to authorised facilities at borough recycling centres, where metal, wood, electrical goods and other materials are processed responsibly. This approach helps reduce waste going to landfill and supports a cleaner, greener Putney.
Deep Roots in the Putney Community
As a long-established Man and a Van Putney business, we are closely connected to the local community. Over the years we have helped families move closer to the green spaces of Wandsworth Park, assisted residents relocating within the estates around Roehampton Lane, and supported small independent shops and offices along Putney High Street and Upper Richmond Road.
We often work with local landlords, estate agents and property managers who rely on a removal company in the area that understands tight move-in deadlines, key collections and building access rules. Our team is familiar with many of the local developments and estates, which helps us plan ahead for lifts, loading bays and parking restrictions.
We are also proud to support community events and local causes when we can, offering our services to help move equipment or supplies for activities around Putney Common, along the Thames towpath or near Putney Bridge. Being part of the community means giving back, not just doing business.
