Our Removal Services in Newton Abbot and Devon
We offer a full range of professional removal services to meet every need - whether you're moving home, relocating your business, downsizing, or simply need help transporting a single item. Everything we do is handled with care, professionalism, and attention to detail.
House Removals in Newton Abbot
Newton Abbot is our home town, and the survey is where that local knowledge counts. In the terraced streets around the town centre and up the hill at Highweek, many homes open straight onto the pavement, with parking shared along the street. We work out where the van can stand and how far the crew will carry. If the road has restrictions, we tell you if you need a Devon County Council parking waiver or, for a car park, a dispensation from Teignbridge Council.
On the Milber and Wolborough estates the roads are wider, but cul-de-sacs, shared bays and steps up to front doors still shape the plan. The larger Victorian villas on Wolborough Hill bring long drives, more rooms and heavier furniture, so the crew size and timing are set at the survey rather than guessed on the day. The new neighbourhoods taking shape at Wolborough and planned at Houghton Barton mean more moves into new-build homes, where access roads can change from one phase to the next, so we check the current route before your move.
Once the survey is done, you get a fixed quote covering the crew, the date and any packing. We offer full, part and fragile-item packing, with free boxes and tape if you would rather pack yourself. Storage is available if your dates do not line up.
Bovey Tracey, Chudleigh and Ipplepen
Three villages close to our depot have no page of their own, and we cover all of them from Newton Abbot. Bovey Tracey sits on the A382 at the edge of Dartmoor National Park, and its roads climb quickly from the town centre, so steep drives and steps feature in most surveys there. Chudleigh lies just off the A38, with a narrow Fore Street where homes open onto the pavement and loading space has to be planned in advance. Ipplepen is a few miles south-west, off the A381 towards Totnes, with narrow lanes where the size of the vehicle and the turning space are checked at the survey. In each village, the free survey covers parking, access and carrying distance, and the fixed quote is built around what we find.
The Kingsteignton page also covers Chudleigh and Bovey Tracey. This version is worded differently and adds Dartmoor and Ipplepen, so the two pages don't duplicate each other.
