We are Putney movers running international removals from the riverside, from Putney Heath through Wandsworth and Barnes to the Fulham and Wimbledon edges. We move banking and tech professionals to Paris, Milan, Madrid, Lisbon. We move pre-children couples to Provence and the Italian lakes. We move school-age families to Cascais, Madrid and Barcelona. We move pre-retirement professionals to Florence, Rome, the Côte d’Azur, the Portuguese coast.
Putney is its own place. There is the Thames at Putney Bridge and the boathouses along the Embankment. There are mansion blocks on Lower Richmond Road and up Putney Hill, terraces between the High Street and the river, and the heath beyond. Planning a move from here is different from planning one from a suburban semi, and we built the firm around that difference.
Our customers are affluent professional couples and families — banking, finance, tech, design, architecture, academia — making considered international moves. Career-driven moves to Paris, Milan, Madrid, Lisbon. Pre-school family lifestyle moves to Provence, the Italian lakes, the Cascais coast. School-age family relocations timed to international-school calendars. Pre-retirement professionals making the move to Florence, Rome, the Côte d’Azur, the Portuguese coast while still working part-time.
The Putney side of the job matters as much as the destination. Our Putney removals page sets out how we handle the SW15 collection — the terraces off Lower Richmond Road, the mansion blocks on Putney Hill, the riverside loading bays and the Wandsworth parking suspensions.
We work on four routes: France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Keeping to four lets us know the customs paperwork, the access problems and the partners at the far end properly. If your move is going somewhere else, we will tell you at the first conversation rather than take a job we cannot do well.
The price is set in writing after the survey. It does not move upward unless the scope materially changes. If your inventory grows by a wardrobe of clothes that is not a requote; if a study room of books appears that was not in the survey, that is. Material means material. No bait-and-switch. No moving-day surprises.
The vehicle that loads at your Putney property is the vehicle that arrives at the destination. The crew that packs is the crew that unloads. No third-party hand-offs at the Channel or at a continental depot. The practical assurance that matters when the consignment includes high-value items, artwork, or instruments.
The survey is a conversation, not a pitch. We assume you have done some research already and we do not over-explain the basics. We tell you what we know, and what we do not. Confident without being corporate; warm without being casual.
Four routes, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, done well. We do not claim to cover anywhere else. If a move is outside those four, we say so straight away. If tax, visas or pet travel come up, we point you to the right kind of specialist rather than guess.
We are not premium-positioned. We do not use "bespoke", "concierge", "private client", or any of the other premium-framing vocabulary. We are considered and practical.
We are not budget-positioned either. We do not undercut by skipping the work. The written quote reflects the actual cost of running the corridor properly — same crew door to door, customs filings, depot storage where the destination property completion slips, destination-side shuttle vehicles where access requires.
We do not transport pets. Different regulatory regime, different vehicle. Specialist pet-transport firms do that work; we refer to them.
We do not give tax or visa advice. We tell you what residency-evidence pack the customs side needs. For French long-stay rules, Italian visa schemes, Spanish non-lucrative visas, Portuguese D7 / D8 — talk to an immigration specialist and a UK-and-destination tax adviser. We will not pretend to be either.

A first conversation tells us whether we are the right firm for your move. If we are not, we will say so plainly.
