Removals Devon – Local House Movers Based in Exeter
Moving home can be a big undertaking, whether you are moving to a new house around the corner, relocating to another part of Devon or heading further across the UK. At Ed Kowalski Removals, we help make moving day more manageable with a friendly, practical service tailored to your move.
We are a family-run removals business based in Exeter, Devon, with nine years of experience in the removals industry. We work with homeowners, tenants, students and businesses, helping with everything from smaller furniture moves to full household removals and longer-distance relocations.
Our services can include house removals, flat moves, Man and Van, packing assistance, furniture transport and business removals, depending on your requirements. We plan each job around the size of your property, the belongings being moved, access at both addresses and the distance involved.
Whether you are moving within Devon or leaving the county for another part of England, we will discuss your requirements and help you choose a suitable service.

A Removals Company Serving Exeter and the Whole of Devon
Ed Kowalski Removals is based in Exeter and provides removals across Devon, helping customers move between towns, villages and residential areas throughout the county.
Some customers need help moving between two homes in the same town. Others are moving from a flat into a family house, downsizing, relocating for work or moving closer to family. We understand that every move is different, so we discuss the details before recommending the right arrangement.
When preparing a quote, we consider the volume of belongings, the distance between addresses, property access, parking, stairs, packing requirements and any large or awkward items that need additional planning.
Our local service is supported by our wider removals work across England and the UK. If your move begins in Devon and finishes elsewhere, or you are relocating to Devon from another county, tell us your collection and delivery details so we can discuss the journey.
If you are specifically looking for removals in Exeter or planning a long-distance removal from Exeter and Devon, you can find more information on our dedicated pages.
House Removals Devon
Moving an entire household takes planning, coordination and careful handling. Our house removals service is designed around the size of your home and the belongings you need to transport.
Whether you are moving from a smaller property or a family house with furniture, appliances, boxes and garage contents, we will discuss the job with you before the move. This helps us plan the vehicle, loading arrangements and time needed for your particular requirements.
We can also discuss furniture dismantling and reassembly where required and agreed in advance.
Find out more about our house removals service.
Flat and Apartment Removals
Moving from a flat or apartment can present different challenges from moving out of a house. Stairs, narrow hallways, shared entrances, lifts and limited parking can all affect the arrangements.
Let us know about access at both properties when requesting a quote. If there are bulky wardrobes, sofas, beds or other items that may be difficult to carry through doorways, tell us in advance so we can plan accordingly.
We can discuss a suitable service for your move, whether you are relocating within Devon or travelling further afield.
Man and Van Devon
Not every move requires a full household removals service. Our Man and Van option can be suitable for smaller moves, individual furniture items, selected student moves and customers who only need help transporting a limited number of belongings.
It can also be useful when collecting furniture, moving a few items between properties or transporting possessions to or from storage.
The best option depends on what needs to be moved, the distance involved and the help you require. Contact us with the details and we can discuss the most appropriate arrangement.
Packing Services and Packing Materials
Packing can take longer than expected, particularly when you have a busy schedule or a whole household to prepare.
Ed Kowalski Removals offers packing assistance and packing materials, subject to the service agreed for your move. Tell us whether you need help with the entire property, selected rooms, fragile belongings or simply suitable boxes and protective materials.
Good preparation also helps make loading and unloading more organised. If you have particularly delicate, valuable or awkward items, let us know before moving day.
Office and Business Removals
Relocating a business involves more than transporting furniture. It may require careful coordination of desks, chairs, storage units, boxed documents and other workplace belongings.
We can discuss office and business removals based on your premises, the items involved, access arrangements and preferred schedule. Where possible, planning the move in advance helps everyone understand what needs to be moved and where it should go.
For a tailored quote, provide the collection and destination addresses and an outline of the equipment and furniture involved.
Furniture Transport and Storage Collections
Sometimes you do not need to move an entire property. You may need a sofa transported to a new home, furniture collected from storage or selected belongings delivered to another address.
We can discuss furniture transport and storage collections where the job suits our service and availability. Please provide the item details, collection and delivery addresses, and any access information that could affect loading.
If you have several large items, photographs can help us understand the requirements before preparing a quote.
Long-Distance Removals from Devon
Moving to another county can involve additional planning, especially when the collection and delivery addresses are several hours apart.
We arrange removals for customers moving between Devon and other parts of England and the wider UK. The service is planned around the journey, the volume of belongings, the required vehicle and any packing or handling assistance agreed for the move.
When contacting us, include both postcodes, your preferred moving date and an approximate description of what needs to be transported.

Moving Between Devon and the Rest of England
Not every removal is local. Some customers move from Devon to another part of England for work, family or a change of lifestyle. Others move in the opposite direction and need their belongings transported to a new home in Devon.
Long-distance removals need a clear plan. The distance between addresses, the amount being transported, access at both properties and any additional services can all affect the arrangements.
Before providing a quote, we will need your collection and destination postcodes, an approximate inventory of your belongings and your preferred moving date. Please also mention any large furniture, fragile items, packing requirements or access restrictions.
This information helps us assess the job and discuss a suitable service for the journey.

Local Knowledge Matters When Moving in Devon
Moving in Devon can involve different practical challenges depending on the property and location. Some homes have convenient driveways and straightforward access. Others may have narrow lanes, limited parking, steep steps or entrances that make moving large furniture more complicated.
Before moving day, it helps to consider:
-
Parking and unloading: Tell us if the vehicle may need to park some distance from the entrance or if unloading space is restricted.
-
Stairs and narrow doorways: Mention difficult access, tight turns or bulky furniture that may need extra planning.
-
Rural properties and narrow roads: Share any relevant information about road access and vehicle restrictions.
-
Large or heavy items: Identify items that may require special handling or additional help.
-
Packing and preparation: Let us know whether your belongings will be packed before arrival or whether you need packing assistance.
-
Collection and delivery arrangements: Confirm access details and any known restrictions at both properties.
Providing accurate information at the quotation stage helps us plan the job more effectively and reduces the risk of unexpected problems on moving day.
Every property is different, so we discuss the details of your move rather than assuming that the same arrangements will work for every address.
