House Removals in Plymouth

URemovals is a booking platform for house removals in Plymouth. Plymouth covers the PL postcodes on the Devon side of the Tamar, and its housing runs from Victorian terraces in Stoke, Mutley and Peverell to the post war rebuild across the centre and the modern estates at Plympton and Plymstock. Devonport also means a steady flow of naval postings, so moves in and out of the city are often to somewhere a long way off. URemovals covers house removals across the UK.

Moving out of Plymouth

Plymouth is a long way from everywhere else. Exeter is around 45 miles, Bristol around 120, and London around 240. A move out of the city is a different job from a move across it, because the driving stops being incidental and becomes a large part of the day.

A long distance move is still booked as one job. It covers the removal team's time loading and unloading at both ends plus the mileage between the addresses, charged at the rate the team publishes, so there is no separate long distance tariff. What changes is the shape of the day: an early start matters far more on a 200 mile move than on a cross city one, and it is worth agreeing the start time rather than the arrival time.

Terraces, hills and access

Plymouth is built on hills, and the Victorian terraces on the steeper streets are the slowest properties to move out of. The van often parks below or above the door rather than level with it, and that carry is time on the clock before a single item goes in.

Stairs are charged per flight per mover at around £10, so a second floor flat in a converted terrace costs more than a three bedroom house at Plympton with a driveway. Entering the floor at both addresses when booking means the price shown already includes it, and nothing is added on the day.

What you pay for, and booking ahead

Three things make up the price of a Plymouth house removal: the hourly rate, the mileage between the two addresses, and stairs. There is no charge for an extra pickup or drop off stop and no disposal fee, and most Plymouth teams set a two hour minimum booking.

Plymouth has fewer removal teams than a city of its size elsewhere in the country, simply because of where it sits. That makes booking early worth more here than in a large city where another van is always available. A Luton van clears most Plymouth house moves in one trip, including a fully furnished three bedroom house. Pick the removal team you want, pay a small deposit to hold the date, and settle the balance with them on the day.
