Flatter than Torquay, and that shows up in the day

Paignton is about twenty-nine miles by road from us. The useful difference from Torquay, three miles up the coast, is the ground: much of central Paignton and the streets behind the seafront are genuinely level. Where we can park near the door, a Paignton move is one of the more straightforward jobs in the bay.

Preston and the roads climbing away from the front are the exception — those behave more like Torquay, with gradients and steps up to the door.

Lets, and moves that come with a deadline

A large share of the housing here is rented, a lot of it furnished, and some of it switches between holiday letting and long lets through the year. Practically, that means:

  • Part-loads are the norm, not the exception. If the furniture stays and only your things go, that is a man-and-van job.
  • End-of-tenancy dates are fixed and unforgiving. Checkout is usually a set time on a set day. Book early for month-end — those dates go first.
  • Getting the deposit back matters. Through our sister cleaning company we can clean the old place once we have emptied it, with 10% off when you book cleaning with the move. Doing it in that order is the point — cleaning a full flat achieves very little.
  • Clearing what the tenant left. We hold upper-tier waste carrier registration CBDU631506, so a clearance can be done properly and legally at the same time.

Common questions

How far is Paignton from Plymouth?
About twenty-nine miles by road — a single-day move for most properties.
Is a Paignton move easier than Torquay?
Often, yes. Central Paignton is much flatter, so where we can park near the door there is less carrying and fewer steps. Preston and the hillside roads are more like Torquay.
We are leaving a furnished let and only taking our own things.
That is a part-load and it is priced as a man-and-van job rather than a full removal, which is a good deal cheaper.
Our tenancy ends at 10am. Can you work to that?
Yes, but book it early — fixed checkout times at the end of the month are the first slots to go.
Can you clean the flat after you have emptied it?
Yes, and that is the right order to do it in. Book cleaning alongside the move and there is 10% off.
