Long Distance Removal Services from Exeter
Giant Van offers a full range of long distance removal services from Exeter and the surrounding Devon area. If you are a student finishing a course at the University of Exeter on Streatham Campus and heading back to Manchester, a young professional moving from Heavitree to a new role in London, or a family relocating from Topsham to Edinburgh, we have the right vehicle, team, and plan for you.
Trained TeamExperienced Movers
Our Man and Van service is ideal for smaller loads and single-room moves, with prices starting from £45. Full house removals from Exeter start from £250 and can include packing, disassembly, and furniture reassembly at your new address. We also handle office relocations starting from £300, suited to small businesses moving out of EX1 or EX2 premises to new city locations elsewhere in the UK.
Piano removals are a specialist service we offer from £150. Uprights and baby grands require different handling than standard furniture, and our trained teams use proper equipment to protect both the instrument and your property during transit.
All bookings include a dedicated vehicle, an experienced driver, and at least one trained removal assistant. We do not subcontract your move to third parties. The team you speak to on the phone is the team that arrives at your door in Exeter.
Access and Logistics in Exeter
Exeter has a mix of housing stock that creates real logistical challenges for removal teams who do not know the city.
The EX1 postcode covers the city centre and Cathedral Quarter, where narrow medieval lanes such as Gandy Street and Fore Street make large vehicle access difficult. We survey routes in advance for city-centre properties and can arrange early morning slots before traffic builds.
The EX2 postcode takes in St Leonards, Alphington, and Countess Wear.
St Leonards is popular with professionals and has a mix of Victorian semis and converted flats, many with limited off-street parking. We apply for temporary suspension permits where required, giving us a clear bay outside your front door on moving day.
EX4 covers Heavitree, Whipton, and Pinhoe, areas with more post-war housing and generally better vehicle access, though estate roads can be tight.
EX3 covers Topsham and Exminster, where riverside properties and cottage-style homes sometimes require our smaller Luton vans rather than full-size lorries.
For properties near the Quay or around Exeter St David's railway station, we plan around pedestrian-heavy periods.
University properties in the Streatham area (EX4) often require stair carries and careful coordination with other tenants. We carry out a free access assessment for all Exeter properties before your moving date to remove surprises on the day.

7 Tips
Exeter sees high demand for removal companies at the start and end of university terms (September and June). Bank holiday weekends and end-of-month dates also fill fast, so secure your slot at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance.
Victorian terraces in St James and older properties around Pennsylvania Road often have tight stairwells. Knowing in advance that a sofa will not fit around a corner gives you time to arrange disassembly or alternative delivery.
Exeter City Council requires advance notice for parking suspensions on public roads. We handle the paperwork, but the minimum notice period is 5 working days, so confirming your moving date early is important.
Put essentials such as your kettle, phone charger, a change of clothes, and important documents in a clearly labelled bag that travels in the cab, not the van. Long distance moves can take a full day and delays do happen.
Exeter has a well-used Freecycle group and several charity shops along Magdalen Road. Reducing your load before moving day cuts your quote and means less to unpack at the other end.
Take photos of gas, electric, and water readings at your Exeter property before the van leaves. You will need these for final bills and to avoid disputes with your supplier.
Ask us to check vehicle access at your new address as early as possible. We have handled hundreds of long distance moves out of Exeter and can flag potential issues before they cost you time or money.

Our most common collection postcodes and districts include the following.

We regularly collect from properties near Exeter Cathedral, the Princesshay area, and streets off High Street such as South Street and North Street.

EX3 (Topsham, Exminster, Exton): Topsham is a desirable village just south of the city with period properties and narrow lanes.
We carry out thorough access checks for all collections here.

EX5 (Clyst St Mary, Broadclyst, Woodbury): Villages east of Exeter with a mix of rural cottages and newer developments.
Rural lane access is something we plan for in advance.

Why Choose Giant Van for Exeter Removals
There are dozens of removal companies exeter residents can choose from, but Giant Van has built its reputation on a specific combination of qualities that matter for long distance moves.
Fixed pricing. We quote a price and we stick to it. You will not receive a higher bill on moving day because the job took longer or required an extra carry. Our pricing is transparent and confirmed in writing before you commit.
Experienced long distance teams. A local removal firm may do excellent work within Devon but have limited experience handling moves to Glasgow, Bristol, or Norwich. Our teams run long distance routes regularly and know how to manage overnight logistics, motorway driving with a full load, and same-day delivery across different regions.
No subcontracting. Some removal companies exeter customers have used pass their bookings to freelance drivers or third-party firms. We never do this. Every Giant Van move is handled by our own employed drivers and removal staff.
Clear communication. You receive a named contact for your move who you can call directly. No call centres, no holding queues. If something changes on moving day, you speak to the person managing your move.
Careful handling. We use furniture blankets, stretch wrap, and padded van interiors as standard. Items are secured with straps during transit to prevent shifting on long motorway journeys. For valuable or fragile items, we use additional packing materials at no extra charge.

Best Times to Move Long Distance from Exeter
6 Tips
Here is what we know from years of moving people in and out of this city.
Demand is lower than Fridays and Saturdays, and our teams are not managing weekend pressure. If your employer allows flexibility on start dates, choosing a mid-week slot often saves 10 to 15 per cent on the quoted price.
The final week of each month is consistently the busiest period for removals across the UK, driven by tenancy agreements ending on the last day. Booking a mid-month date means less competition for slots and a more relaxed pace on the day.
The university brings a significant population of students to Exeter, and when they leave in June and return in September, demand for vans and removal support spikes sharply. If you are moving in those months, book 6 to 8 weeks in advance.
Post-Christmas moves are quieter, and our teams are well-rested. If your circumstances allow for a winter move, this is the most cost-effective window.
Leaving Exeter at 7am means clearing the city before peak traffic on the A30 or M5 and arriving at your destination with the full afternoon to unload and settle in. Our teams are available from 7am for all bookings.

Exeter Removals: Long Distance Moving Across the UK — FAQs
How much do exeter removals cost for a long distance move?
Long distance removal prices from Exeter depend on property size, distance, and if you need packing. A Man and Van starts from £45, full house removals from £250 to £850, and office relocations from £300. Piano removals begin at £150. All Giant Van quotes are fixed in writing with no day-of-move price increases. Call for a specific quote.
Which removal companies in Exeter cover long distance UK routes?
Giant Van is a specialist long distance removal company that collects from all Exeter postcodes including EX1, EX2, EX3, EX4, and EX5, and delivers anywhere on the UK mainland. Unlike local-only operators, our teams run regular routes to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Bristol. We do not subcontract moves to third parties. Call to check availability for your destination.
How far in advance should I book a removal from Exeter?
For most long distance moves from Exeter, book 4 to 6 weeks in advance. During peak periods such as June to September (university term changes) and end-of-month dates, demand is high and slots fill quickly. For moves in January or February, 2 to 3 weeks is usually sufficient. Call as early as possible to secure your preferred date.
Do you handle parking permits for Exeter city centre removals?
Yes. For properties in EX1 and other areas where on-street parking is restricted, Giant Van applies for temporary suspension permits on your behalf through Exeter City Council. The minimum notice period is 5 working days, which is why we ask you to confirm your moving date as early as possible. The cost of permits is included in your quote where applicable.
Can you move a piano from my Exeter home to another UK city?
Yes. Giant Van offers specialist piano removal from Exeter starting at £150. Our teams are trained in handling uprights and baby grands using purpose-built piano boards, padded wrapping, and secure loading techniques. We assess the access route at your Exeter property before moving day to confirm the equipment and team size needed. Call to discuss your piano move.
What areas of Exeter do you collect from?
We collect from all Exeter postcodes including EX1 (city centre, Cathedral Quarter), EX2 (St Leonards, Alphington, Marsh Barton), EX3 (Topsham, Exminster), EX4 (Heavitree, Pinhoe, Whipton), and EX5 (Broadclyst, Clyst St Mary). We also cover Newton Abbot, Tiverton, Crediton, Exmouth, and Honiton. If you are outside these areas, call us on to confirm coverage.
Is my furniture insured during a long distance move from Exeter?
Yes. All Giant Van removals include goods-in-transit insurance as standard. This covers your belongings during loading, transport, and unloading. For high-value or fragile items such as antiques, artwork, or specialist equipment, we recommend discussing specific coverage needs when you book. Our team uses furniture blankets, stretch wrap, and securing straps on every long distance journey from Exeter.
What is the cheapest day to book exeter removals?
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are typically the most cost-effective days to book a long distance removal from Exeter. Demand is lower than at weekends and on Fridays, which often means better availability and reduced rates. Mid-month dates also cost less than end-of-month slots. January and February are the most affordable months overall. Call for current availability.
