Dartmouth is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful locations in the South West. With its stunning deep-water port, historic architecture, and the prestigious Britannia Royal Naval College overlooking the town, it is a truly special place to call home. However, for those planning a move, the very features that make Dartmouth so charming, such as the steep hills, narrow winding streets, and limited parking, can make the logistics of a relocation feel incredibly daunting.
At Empire Removals South West, we believe that moving house should be the start of a wonderful new chapter rather than a source of stress. As a family-run company based just a short distance away in Newton Abbot, we specialise in providing professional, reliable, and friendly removals in Dartmouth. We understand that your belongings are not just items; they are your life. That is why we make home moves smooth and stress-free by handling every detail with the utmost precision and care.
Why Choose Empire Removals for Your Dartmouth Move
When you are searching for removals Dartmouth homeowners and businesses recommend, you want more than just a person with a van. You need a team that understands the unique challenges of the South Hams and can provide a level of service that national franchises often fail to deliver.
Local Knowledge and Expertise
Dartmouth is notorious for its narrow access points. From the tight lanes leading toward the Higher Ferry to the restricted parking in the town centre, moving here requires a strategic approach. Unlike firms that arrive in massive heavy goods vehicles that cannot navigate the historic streets, we operate a fleet of modern, GPS-tracked 3.5-tonne Luton vans. These vehicles are the ideal size for Dartmouth; they are large enough to transport a full household efficiently but nimble enough to reach your front door safely.
A Family-Run Business with Values
We are proud to be a family-run business. When you contact us, you are speaking to people who genuinely care about our reputation in the local community. We do not use agency staff. Every member of our team is a permanent, uniformed, and DBS-checked professional. This ensures that the people entering your home are experienced, trustworthy, and fully committed to our high standards of service.
Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Costs
We believe that trust is built through transparency. We offer free, no-obligation survey visits to assess your move accurately. This allows us to provide a clear, written quote with no hidden costs. The price we quote is the price you pay, ensuring you can budget for your move with total confidence.

Dismantling and Reassembly
One of the most tiring parts of moving is dealing with large furniture. Our team arrives fully equipped with the tools necessary to dismantle beds, wardrobes, and sofas at your old property and reassemble them exactly where you want them in your new home. This service is included as standard because we want you to be able to relax and enjoy your first night in your new space.

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. We use professional-grade protective equipment, including:
Custom mattress covers and sofa protectors.
Floor runners to keep your carpets clean.
Specialized TV boxes and fragile-item wrapping.
Hanging wardrobe cartons to keep your clothes crease-free during transit.

Preparation is the key to a successful move. If you are short on time or simply want the peace of mind that comes with professional packing, we are here to help.

Our team can provide a full or partial packing service. We use high-quality, industry-standard materials to wrap and secure your valuables, from delicate glassware to bulky kitchen items.
