Empire Removals South West offers house removals across Devon, from Newton Abbot and the Teignbridge valley to Exeter, Torquay, Paignton and Exmouth, plus long-distance moves out of the county. We cover small flat moves, full family home removals, and everything in between.
House Removals Across Devon
We work with people at every stage of a move: couples upsizing from a flat, families moving between towns, retirees downsizing, and people relocating into or out of the county. Whatever the size of the job, we match the van and crew to it after a survey, rather than guessing volumes or padding the quote.
Every move starts with a free, no-obligation survey, in person or, for smaller jobs, from photos and a room count.
What We Offer
Small Moves and Flat Removals
One-bed flats, studios and small terraces are a regular part of our work. We bring a van sized for the job rather than an oversized lorry that cannot get near the property. If access is tight, tell us when you enquire and we will factor it into the survey.
Full Home Moves
For larger properties we survey in person, agree what needs packing, dismantling or special handling, and plan the day in detail. Furniture dismantling and reassembly is included as standard, and protective covers for mattresses, sofas and carpets come with the team.
Long-Distance Moves from Devon
We regularly move customers out of Devon to destinations across the UK. The process is the same: survey, clear quote, agreed plan. Distance changes the price, not the level of care. For moves into Devon from elsewhere, see our removals to Devon page.
What Affects Your Quote
Five things change the price of a Devon house removal:
• Volume: more rooms means more time and vehicle space.
• Access: narrow lanes, stairs, no nearby parking or restricted loading all affect how long loading takes.
• Distance: a local move within Teignbridge is priced differently from a cross-county or long-distance move.
• Packing: if you want the team to pack some or all of the property, that is costed and added to the removal quote.
• Dates: peak dates such as month-end and school holidays book up faster, so flexible dates can give you more options.
All of this is covered in the survey, so the price reflects your actual job.
Packing Support
If you would rather not spend your evenings packing boxes, the team can handle it. Full packing, partial packing (fragile items only, for example), and materials supply are all available, with boxes labelled room by room so unpacking is straightforward. See our packing service page for what is included.
House Clearance
If the move involves clearing a property, before or after, we offer a house clearance service, disposing of items responsibly under our waste licence. See our house clearance page for details.
Storage
Need help getting ready for moving day? We provide comprehensive support to ensure you are fully prepared:
Full or partial packing services
Fragile-only packing for valuable or breakable items
Short or long-term storage in clean, dry and secure local facilities
FREE boxes and tape included with every removal
You can combine our packing and storage options with your home removal or book them as standalone services to suit your timeline.
How a Move Works
1. Survey. You contact us and we arrange a free, no-obligation survey. For smaller jobs we can sometimes quote from photos and a room count.
2. Quote. We come back with a clear, itemised price and no hidden extras.
3. Planning. We confirm dates, agree what packing or dismantling is needed, and note any access points to check.
4. Moving day. The team arrives as agreed, loads carefully, transports to the new address, and unloads room by room.
