Removals in Sherford
Sherford is seven miles from our door — one of the closest places we work, and one of the busiest. Rated 5.0 from 35 Google reviews.
Moving into a brand-new house
A new-build move is not quite like any other, and most of the difference is in the timing. Completion dates move. Keys come late in the day. Sometimes the whole thing shifts by a week with very little warning.
We are seven miles away, which is the single most useful thing about us here. Being local means we can hold a date loosely, work around a same-day key handover, and come back if the schedule slips — without charging you for a wasted trip from the other side of the county.
What tends to come up in Sherford
- Completion-day moves. Keys at lunchtime, in by the evening. We plan around the handover rather than a fixed morning slot.
- Storage between dates. If you complete on the new place after leaving the old one, we can bridge the gap — ask us and we will sort it.
- New furniture arriving the same week. We can collect and bring it in alongside the move, so you are not in three days of deliveries.
- Nothing to take out. An empty new house is a fast unload, which usually makes the job cheaper than the same size of move into an older property.
- Clearing the old place. Whatever is not coming with you, we can take — legally, under waste carrier registration CBDU631506. See house clearance.
Where we come from
Most Sherford moves start somewhere close: Plymouth, Plymstock, Elburton, Plympton, Ivybridge or the villages along the A38. All of those are inside our included distance, so the mileage adds nothing to the price. Use the price calculator — put your postcode in and it works out the real road distance.
The dust — worth planning for
Sherford is still being built, and it shows. The roads are unfinished, there is heavy plant moving through most days, and the dust and mud get everywhere: windows, floors, doorsteps, driveways. It is the single thing residents mention most, and it does not stop the day you move in.
Two practical consequences for a move:
- Protect the new floors on the day. We put boards and coverings down on a new-build move as a matter of course — carrying a sofa in over a wet site path is how brand-new flooring gets ruined in the first hour.
- Book the clean around the move, not after it. Through our sister cleaning company we can do the sparkle clean on the empty house before your furniture lands, and the old place after we have emptied it — 10% off when you book cleaning with the move.
Plenty of people here also end up wanting something regular afterwards, simply because of the site traffic. Ask us when you book and we will sort both.
Leaving Sherford
We do that too. Onward moves anywhere in Devon and Cornwall, and across the UK if you are going further.
