House Removals Torquay

1. 1
   With Removal Company Torquay, moving house in Torquay is easier when you plan around the town's specific conditions.

   These five tips come from our experience completing house removals in Torquay over hundreds of jobs.

2. 2
   Book parking suspension two working days ahead.

   Torquay Council processes suspension requests through Torbay Council's highways team. Without a suspended bay, your removal van may need to park on double yellows and risk a fine, or stop further from your door. We handle this for you, but we need your move date confirmed early.

3. 3
   Avoid peak summer weekday moves on the B3199 and A379 corridors.

   July and August see tourist traffic adding twenty to forty minutes onto journeys between the harbour area and Paignton Road. If your move date falls in summer, go early morning or choose a Friday over a Saturday.

4. 4
   Measure your staircase at Torquay's older Victorian properties before moving day.

   Higher Warberry Road and Babbacombe Road have properties built in the 1890s with dogleg staircases that won't take a standard sofa on its side. We can advise on dismantling furniture if you tell us the property build date.

5. 5
   Wrap ceramics and glassware in printed newsprint, not bubble wrap alone.

   Sea air near Torbay increases condensation risk. Double-layer protection stops moisture working into packing paper overnight if items are stored in a van or storage unit.

6. 6
   Tell your new postcode's bin collection day to Torbay Council before move-in.

   Post-move cardboard and packing materials pile up fast. Torbay's recycling collections run fortnightly in most TQ2 areas, so you may wait two weeks if you miss a collection.
