Devon draws people for the coast, the moors and a slower pace, from the beaches of North Devon to Dartmoor and the cities of Exeter and Plymouth. Every move starts with a survey by video and a written quotation, and the price on the quotation is the price you pay. Your move goes on a dedicated vehicle carrying your household only, with our own crews doing the work.

Removals to Devon from Another Part of the UK
A new job in Exeter, family near Plymouth, or a house by the sea: a move to Devon is a long day for your belongings, and it pays to have one firm plan the whole thing from the survey to the last box.
Your move goes on a dedicated vehicle carrying your household only. The vehicle and the crew size are matched to your home at the survey, and your written quotation sets out the plan for loading and delivery before you book.

Where People Move to Devon From
We move families to Devon from all over the UK, and back again. These are the moves we are asked for most.
-
Oxfordshire to Devon
Home ground for us. We are based near Banbury and move families from Oxford, Bicester, Witney, Abingdon, Didcot and Banbury to Devon, and back.
-
Warwickshire and Buckinghamshire to Devon
Two counties next door to our base, so the collection end is on roads we work every day. See our Warwickshire and Buckinghamshire pages.
-
London and the East of England to Devon
From London, Cambridge, Norfolk or Suffolk to the South West, planned around both addresses.
-
The North and Scotland to Devon
From Manchester, the North or Scotland, a longer move with the plan for loading and delivery set out in your written quotation.
How Your Move Works
-
1. Video survey
Walk through the house on a video call, or send room by room videos on WhatsApp to 07861 930529. Our video survey page shows what to film.
-
2. Written quotation
A clear price and plan for your move. Packing and export wrapping are optional and priced here if you want them.
-
3. Packing, if you want it
A full pack, a part pack covering the fragile items only, or you pack and we load. Your choice.
-
4. Parking
At the survey we tell you if a parking suspension is needed for loading. Booking it is your responsibility, and we can book it for you for a small extra fee. Our parking permits guide explains how it works.
-
5. Moving day
Furniture travels under padded blankets and covers, and everything is placed in the rooms you want at the new address. Unpacking is available on request.
-
6. Delivery or storage
Straight to your new home in Devon, or into our containerised store until you are ready for it.
Packing, Storage and Specialist Items
- Packing. Optional, at the level you choose: a full pack, the fragile items only, or you pack and we load. See our packing service.
- Containerised storage. Sealed, numbered containers at our Oxfordshire store, short or long term, with the move and the storage as one booking. See our storage page.
- Dismantling and reassembly. Beds, wardrobes and tables taken apart for the move and put back together at the new house.
- Pianos and specialist items. Piano removals, antiques, artwork, crating and export wrapping for anything fragile or valuable.
- MoveProtect is available, our optional service providing increased liability cover, and can be arranged before your move.
Moving to Devon with Children and Pets: 10 Tips
- Plan ahead. Start early and involve the children from the start. Helping them understand the move makes it smoother for everyone.
- Dogs and cats. Dogs are fine as long as they stay out of the way of the crew. Cats can be frightened when the crew arrives, so keep them in a separate room and tell everyone they are there.
- A pet-friendly home. Make sure your new home in Devon is pet-friendly and safe for your pets to explore.
- Update ID and microchips. Put your new address and contact details on your pets' tags and microchip records.
- A moving day kit. Pack a bag for the children and the pets with snacks, toys, medication and comfort items.
- Keep routines. Feeding, walks and bedtime at the usual times give everyone something steady.
- Childcare on the day. Arrange someone to look after the little ones on moving day to cut down the stress and the distractions.
- Safe travel. Pets should travel in carriers or restraints on the journey to Devon.
- Explore together. Once you are settled, find the parks, the vet and the family activities near your new home together.
- Take it slowly. Introduce pets to their new surroundings gradually, at their own pace.

FAQs: Removals to and from Devon
