Nestled on the edge of Dartmoor, Ashburton is a town defined by its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant community. However, for anyone planning a move, the very things that make Ashburton beautiful: its narrow medieval streets, historic town centre, and "Gateway to the Moor" location: can also make the logistics of moving house quite a challenge.
At Empire Removals South West, we believe that moving to or from Ashburton should be as smooth as the Devon landscape. As a family-run company based just down the road in Newton Abbot, we provide professional, reliable, and friendly removals in Ashburton that take the stress out of your big day. We make home moves smooth and stress-free by combining local expertise with a commitment to treating your belongings with the same care we would our own.
Why Choose Local Removals in Ashburton?
Choosing a removal company that understands the specific geography of South Devon is essential. While national firms may offer generic services, they often struggle with the "last mile" of a move in an ancient stannary town like Ashburton.
Navigating Local Logistics
From the tight turns of North Street to the limited parking near the town’s independent shops, Ashburton requires a strategic approach. Unlike firms that arrive in massive heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) that cannot clear historic arches or narrow lanes, we operate a fleet of modern 3.5-tonne Luton vans. These vehicles are the perfect size for Ashburton: large enough to carry a full household of furniture, yet nimble enough to reach your front door without blocking the road for your new neighbours.
Proximity and Accountability
Being based in Newton Abbot means we are your local neighbours. We are not a faceless franchise; we are an independent, family-run business whose reputation is built on every move we complete in the TQ13 area. This proximity allows us to be flexible with our schedules and offer the kind of personalised service that only a local expert can provide.
