Your Local Removals Exeter Experts
House removal can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be. At Empire Removals South West, we believe it is our duty to eliminate the stress from the process via a professional and relaxed method of operation. We’re fully insured, with uniformed staff providing careful and professional removals tailored to your needs, and we’re known for delivering smooth and reliable house removals Exeter can trust.
Empire Removals South West handles house removals, office removals, packing and storage across Exeter. We're a family-run team based in Newton Abbot, operating across the EX postcode every week. No agency staff, no subcontractors, James and the same crew from first call to final box.
House Removals in Exeter
We handle all types of residential move across Exeter - city-centre flats, terraced houses, and larger family homes across the EX postcode. As one of the trusted local moving companies for Exeter and the wider South West, our team packs, loads, transports, and unloads, and can dismantle and reassemble furniture at both ends. You can choose a full pack-and-move service (packing & unpacking) or selective packing if you want to handle some items yourself.
Free boxes and tape come with every move. Wardrobe cartons, bubble wrap, furniture covers, and mattress protectors are available if you need them.
We offer same-day and short-notice moves when availability allows, as well as evening and weekend options. If your completion date shifts or your chain delays, we can move your belongings into our secure climate-controlled storage in Newton Abbot and deliver them back when you are ready - simple, secure storage solutions without the stress.
Office Removals in Exeter - Weekends, Minimal Downtime
Office relocation involves complex procedures that need to be completed quickly and with minimal disruption to your business. We understand that and we plan every commercial move around your schedule, with clear communication and customer service throughout.
We offer out-of-hours and weekend moves for Exeter businesses so your office is up and running by Monday morning. Our team handles everything - workstation disassembly and reassembly, IT systems transport, sensitive document packaging, item loading, and heavy lifting - so your staff arrive at the new premises ready to work.
Every job is carried out by our own team. No agency staff, no subcontractors. You get a consistent, experienced crew from start to finish.
If you need short-term storage for equipment or archives during the transition, we can collect and hold items in our Newton Abbot facility and return them when you need them, using secure storage facilities designed for removals and business transitions.
Long Distance Removals from Exeter - Dedicated Vans, Nationwide
Moving out of Exeter to another part of the UK? We provide dedicated vans for long-distance moving starting in Exeter. Your belongings are not combined with another customer's load - one vehicle, one team, travelling directly to your destination, wherever that is in the country.
We manage the full move ourselves from loading at your Exeter address through to delivery and unloading. If there is a gap between your move-out and move-in dates, we can store your belongings in our secure Newton Abbot facility and deliver when you are ready. If you only need moving labor and transport (without packing), we can tailor the service to suit.
Packing, Moving Labor, and Furniture Removal
Some customers want a full packing service, others just need reliable moving labor for item loading, heavy lifting, and safe transport. We can tailor the job to suit, from packing and unpacking through to a simple load-and-go service, always with protective materials and careful handling.
If you are clearing space as part of a move, we can also advise on furniture removal and proper disposal routes. Where suitable, we can help you plan furniture recycling or arrange furniture donation options so usable items can be rehomed rather than wasted. If something needs to be disposed of, we will guide you on the best local option for furniture disposal in Devon, keeping it straightforward and responsible.
For specialty item moving, tell us what you have when you book. We regularly move bulky and awkward items and can plan the right crew, equipment, and vehicle access in advance.
Mastering Narrow Streets Where Lorries Cannot Go
Exeter's city centre has streets that large removal lorries simply cannot access. We know this because we work in them regularly.
We use 3.5-tonne Luton vans and the right moving trucks for the job - the right size for Exeter's tight lanes, restricted city-centre roads, and narrow-access properties. Where parking permits are needed or access is limited, we plan it in advance so there are no problems on moving day.
If you are moving to or from a city-centre flat, a period terrace, or any property with difficult access, let us know when you book and we will have a plan ready before we arrive.
Everything You Need for a Safe and Easy Move
Your possessions are prized, and we treat them accordingly. We show up with all we need and the right gear to make everything secure, including protective equipment like furniture covers, mattress protectors, and wardrobe boxes. Whether it's delicate antiques or bulky furniture, our moving specialists handle the heavy lifting carefully. Zero damage, zero hassle.
Clearances, Downsizing Help, and Specialist Item Moves
If you are downsizing, dealing with probate, or simply want less to move, we can help you plan what goes with you and what can be cleared before moving day. We can assist with garage cleanouts and general clear-outs, plus arrange junk hauling and commercial junk hauling through trusted local partners when required, so you are not juggling multiple bookings.
Need furniture pickup or furniture donation pickup? If items are suitable for reuse, we will point you towards the right local routes for furniture donation and furniture recycling, and we can coordinate collection timing around your move. If items are not reusable, we will advise on proper disposal options so everything is handled responsibly.
We also move specialist, heavy items that need extra care and planning, including piano movers requests, pool table movers, and fitness equipment movers. If you need a higher-touch service, ask about white glove moving and white glove delivery for delicate items such as fine art handling, fragile antiques, or high-value pieces, including protective wrapping and careful placement.
If you have furniture that needs attention before it goes into your new home, we can also recommend local options for furniture repair.

A Quick Note on US-Only Search Terms
We occasionally see enquiries that mention US-based terms like NH Exeter Movers, interstate movers, DOT number, NHPC number, Goodwill, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, or the Furniture Bank Association. We are a Devon removals company (Exeter, Newton Abbot and the South West), so those US registrations and charities do not apply here. If you are relocating within the UK, we can help, and if you are moving internationally we can advise you on the best next steps and what to look for in a specialist provider.
