Long Distance Removals in Devon: What to Expect
Devon is England's third largest county by area, stretching roughly 70 miles from the Somerset border in the north to Plymouth Sound in the south. That geography matters for removals. A move from Ilfracombe EX34 to Newton Abbot TQ12, for example, covers over 55 miles of A-road driving, often with no motorway shortcut. Our crews plan these routes carefully before the day, checking road widths, bridge heights, and any seasonal restrictions on lanes around Dartmoor.
Long distance removals differ from local moves in a few key ways. Packing must be tighter and more secure because items spend longer in transit. Load plans matter more because a poorly balanced van on the A30 or the A38 Devon Expressway causes movement and breakages. Our team uses purpose-built furniture blankets, double-walled cardboard boxes, and ratchet straps on every long distance job.
We work across all of Devon's main urban centres including Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Paignton, Barnstaple, Bideford, Exmouth, Tiverton, and Tavistock. We also cover dozens of smaller communities such as Okehampton EX20, South Molton EX36, Cullompton EX15, Dartmouth TQ6, and Salcombe TQ8. No matter where in the county you are headed, we can get you there safely and on time.
Access Challenges Unique to Devon Moves
Devon has some of the narrowest roads of any English county outside Cornwall.
Single-track lanes with passing places are common on the edges of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Streets in the historic centres of Totnes TQ9 and Dartmouth TQ6 were built long before removal lorries existed. These access issues require careful planning and, in some cases, the right vehicle choice from the start.
Our fleet includes Luton vans with tail-lifts, short-wheelbase panel vans for tight streets, and larger box trucks for full house loads.
When a property on a narrow lane near Chagford TQ13 cannot accept a large vehicle, we sometimes use a smaller shuttle van to ferry loads from the lorry to the front door. This two-vehicle approach costs a little more time but avoids damage to property and to local roads.
Parking is another practical issue, particularly in Exeter city centre EX1 and EX4, where yellow lines and residents' permit zones cover most streets.
We advise customers in these areas to apply for a temporary parking suspension through Exeter City Council at least five working days before the move. In Plymouth PL1 and PL4, the council area around the historic Barbican and Devonport dockyard streets carries similar restrictions. We flag these issues at the survey stage so nothing catches you off guard on moving day.

5 Tips
For long distance removals across Devon, where a van may be on the road for two or three hours, packing quality matters more than it does for a short local hop.
Books, seasonal clothing, decorative items, and spare bedding can be packed two to three weeks before your move date. Label every box on two sides, not just the top, because boxes get stacked in the van and the top label is often hidden. Write the destination room clearly as well as the contents.
Plates stand upright in boxes, not flat, and each one should be individually wrapped. Glasses go in cell-divided box inserts, not loose in a box with paper stuffed around them. Artwork and mirrors need corner protectors and dedicated flat boxes.
We hire out plastic crates by the week for customers who prefer this option.
Keep all fixings in labelled zip-lock bags taped to the relevant piece. This saves around 30 to 45 minutes on arrival when fatigue has already set in.

What Our Devon Removals Service Includes
Every Giant Van long distance removal in Devon includes a pre-move survey, either in person or via video call.
We will walk through the property with you, note every item that needs moving, flag any access issues at origin or destination, and produce a written quote with no hidden charges.
On the move day, the crew arrives at the agreed time, normally between 7:30 and 8:00 am for long distance jobs.
They bring all their own equipment: furniture dollies, stair-climbing sacks, wardrobe cartons for hanging clothes, mattress bags to keep bedding clean, and protective floor runners for hallways and stairs.
Our Man and Van service suits singles, couples, or anyone moving a small number of items.
Prices start from £45 per hour for a single mover with a van and rise to around £300 for a half-day job with two movers.
For a standard two or three-bedroom house move, our House Removals service runs from £250 to £850 depending on volume, distance, and access.
Office relocations in Devon start from £300 and reach up to £600 for a small to medium commercial unit.
All services include basic goods-in-transit insurance.
We do not carry antiques or high-value items without an agreed additional declaration, so please flag these at the survey stage.
We do not take items that need specialist handling such as grand pianos, large safes over 200 kg, or industrial machinery.
For those, we can recommend specialist contractors.

Why Choose Giant Van for Devon Removals
Giant Van was built around one idea: removals should be straightforward and stress-free. We know that moving is consistently ranked among the most stressful life events, and we have designed our service to take as much of that pressure off you as possible.
Our crews are full-time employees, not day-rate contractors sourced at short notice. Every team member goes through an induction that covers manual handling technique, furniture protection, load planning, and customer communication. When you open the door on move day, you are letting in people who have done this dozens of times before.
We use GPS-tracked vehicles, which means we can give you accurate arrival windows rather than vague half-day slots. If we are running more than 15 minutes late, we call you. That sounds basic, but it is something many removal companies still fail to do.
Our pricing is fixed after the survey. We do not add charges for stairs, for distances over a certain limit, or for heavy items that were clearly visible at survey. The quote you receive is the price you pay unless you add items after confirmation.
For Devon specifically, we understand the county's road network in a way that a generic national removals company may not. We know that the A396 through the Exe Valley moves slowly in summer, that Dartmouth requires a ferry crossing or a long detour, and that certain Dartmoor lanes are impassable for a full-size removal lorry. This local knowledge saves time and avoids costly mistakes on the day.

Best Times to Move in Devon
4 Tips
That has a direct effect on removal logistics, particularly in the summer months. July and August bring heavy traffic on the A38 Devon Expressway, the A30 across Dartmoor, and the A379 coastal road through Torbay. Journey times that take 50 minutes in March can stretch to 90 minutes or more in peak season. If your completion date falls in July or August, book your removal as early as possible as our Devon availability fills up quickly between late June and early September.
This means Friday slots, especially in the second half of July and August, are the first to go. If you have flexibility, a Tuesday or Wednesday move in April, May, October, or November will give you more choice of crew and vehicle, and may attract a modest off-peak saving.
Traffic through these areas during the holiday changeover weekends, typically the last Saturday of July and the last Saturday of August, can be severe enough to add two hours to a journey.
If cost and convenience are your priority over timing, these months offer the best availability and the most competitive quotes.
Man and Van vs Full House Removal: Which Service Do You Need?
3 Tips
A Man and Van is the right choice if you are moving a studio or one-bedroom flat, a single room of belongings, or a small number of bulky items such as a sofa and a few boxes. It works well for students moving between term-time addresses in Exeter EX4 or Plymouth PL4, and for sharp, time-efficient jobs where you are doing much of the packing yourself.
For family homes in areas like Tiverton EX16, Newton Abbot TQ12, or Barnstaple EX31, where properties are often larger and gardens full of equipment, a dedicated house removal crew with a larger vehicle is the practical option.
We can work out of hours or over a weekend to minimise disruption to your trading week. Our office service includes careful handling of IT equipment, desks, filing cabinets, and breakout furniture.
Ready to start planning your Devon move? Call Giant Van on 020 3129 6180.

Long Distance Moving Services Across the County — FAQs
How far in advance should I book a Devon removal?
For moves between April and September, book at least four to six weeks ahead. Devon is a busy tourist county and removal slots fill quickly over summer, especially on Fridays. For moves between October and March, two to three weeks is usually enough. If your completion date is fixed by a solicitor, book as soon as you have a date, even if it is provisional. Call to check current availability.
Do you move to and from properties on Dartmoor?
Yes. We regularly move to and from properties on and around Dartmoor, including villages such as Chagford TQ13, Widecombe-in-the-Moor TQ13, Yelverton PL20, and Princetown PL20. Narrow lanes may require a smaller vehicle or a shuttle approach from a wider road nearby. We assess this at the survey stage and include any additional logistics in the fixed-price quote so there are no surprises on the day.
Can you move me from Devon to London or another UK city?
Yes. We handle long distance removals from Devon to London, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and across the rest of the UK. We also bring moves into Devon from these cities. For long-haul jobs, we typically carry out a video survey, load the van the evening before the move date, and arrive at your destination the following morning. Prices depend on volume and distance.
Is parking in Exeter city centre a problem for removals?
Exeter city centre has significant parking restrictions, particularly in the EX1 and EX4 postcode areas near the high street and the cathedral quarter. We recommend applying to Exeter City Council for a temporary parking suspension at least five working days before your move. We can advise on the process. In some streets, a smaller vehicle can be used to avoid permit zone issues entirely.
What happens if my Devon completion date changes at short notice?
Property completions in Devon sometimes slip, especially in chain sales. If your date changes, contact us as soon as you know. We hold rescheduled dates without penalty where you give us at least 48 hours notice. If the change is inside 48 hours, a small rescheduling fee may apply. We will always try to accommodate a new date before charging anything.
Do you offer packing services for Devon moves?
We offer a full packing service as an add-on to any Devon removal. Our crew brings all packing materials including double-walled boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, wardrobe cartons, and mattress bags. We can pack the whole property the day before the move, or just specific rooms. Fragile packing, where we wrap individual items in multiple layers, is also available. Ask for a packing quote when you call .
Are there items you will not move in Devon?
We do not move grand pianos, industrial machinery, large safes over 200 kg, or hazardous materials such as gas canisters, flammable liquids, or chemicals. We handle antiques and high-value items only with a prior written declaration and agreed additional insurance. Items such as standard upright pianos, motorbikes, and hot tubs can be discussed at survey, as these sometimes need specialist equipment or additional crew members.
How do you handle the Dartmouth ferry crossing on a removal?
Dartmouth TQ6 sits on the west bank of the River Dart with no road bridge. Access from the east requires either the Higher Ferry at Dartmouth or a 25-mile detour via Totnes. Our crew plans the route in advance and, where the ferry is suitable for our vehicle, builds the crossing time into the schedule. For larger lorries that exceed ferry weight limits, we use the Totnes route and adjust the quote accordingly.
