Removalists in Putney

Moving in Putney

Putney moves are house moves, nearly all of them. The streets are quiet and the standing is usually kind: a driveway, or a kerb with room to drop a ramp. What needs the plan is the river end, where the streets tip toward the water and a few of the older drives are better walked than driven.

We're two kilometres away, which matters more than it sounds: the truck arrives fresh at the start of the window, not worn from a cross-city run, and if your day needs a second trip the round leg is minutes, not an hour.

And yes, the punt. The Putney Punt still hauls cars across the river to Mortlake on a cable, the way the Bedlam Point punt carried households a century and a half ago. Our name comes from that same crossing trade. Moving day in Putney feels like a home fixture.

How a Putney day usually runs

• Standing: driveway or kerb at most addresses. The river-end slopes get walked first.
• Crew: 3 movers and a truck at $350 an hour for most full houses; 2 and a truck at $250 for the smaller jobs.
• The crossing: to Gladesville, Ryde or Hunters Hill you're moving within the pocket. Across the water to Mortlake or Breakfast Point, we route around the bridge and time it honestly.
• The finish: beds up, cartons roomed, ramp up, gone before the street lights.
