Removal services in Devon, built on local knowledge
Devon covers a lot of ground, and moving within it takes genuine familiarity with the territory. The M5 corridor into Exeter moves differently on a Friday afternoon in August than it does on a Tuesday in March. North Devon, around Barnstaple and Bideford, means longer drives on A-roads with no motorway shortcut. Dartmoor edges bring their own access questions: lanes that look fine on a map, properties at the end of tracks that rule out an 18-tonne truck, and the occasional shuttle van job where smaller is the only option. Our crews know all of it. They are out across Devon every week, not learning the roads on your move day.
From our purpose-built removals and storage facility at Marsh Barton in Exeter, we cover the whole of Devon, including Plymouth, Tavistock and Ivybridge, and more. Your move might be a few streets across Exeter, a long-distance relocation to Scotland, or a container bound for New Zealand. As long as it starts or finishes in Devon, Cornwall or Somerset, we can help.

Devon removal specialists
Devon removal specialists
Most people move house a handful of times in their lives. We have been doing it for Devon residents for more than 50 years, and the same family that started the firm still runs it today.
There are two halves to the name, and both carry weight. Lanes is the family business, now in its third generation: local crews, local knowledge, a name people across Devon and Cornwall have relied on for half a century. Britannia is the national membership the family joined years ago, a network of vetted removal firms held to one shared standard, with trained members and support right across the UK. When you choose Britannia Lanes, your move is carried out by a local family who answer for their own work, backed by a national body that holds them to that standard. That combination is what customers are choosing. It is why the reviews say what they do.

Our Devon removal service areas
We cover Devon from coast to coast, moor to estuary. Our crews are out across the county every week, so wherever your move starts or finishes, the road there is one we have been down before.
Exeter and the M5 corridor
Exeter is our home in Devon, and it is where most moves in the county begin or end. We cover the city in full, plus the towns along the M5: Tiverton, Cullompton, Honiton, and the Exe estuary towns of Exmouth, Dawlish and Teignmouth.
Plymouth, Tavistock and the South Hams
Plymouth is Devon’s largest city and a regular part of our week. We also cover Tavistock, Ivybridge, Newton Abbot, Totnes, and the South Hams, where access to rural properties can call for careful planning ahead of moving day.
North Devon and Dartmoor
Barnstaple, Bideford and Ilfracombe in the north, Okehampton and the Dartmoor edges in the centre. Longer drives, narrower approaches in places, and first-hand knowledge of both.
Torbay and the English Riviera
Torquay, Paignton and the surrounding area. Popular with buyers relocating into Devon, and a steady part of our south coast work.
Everything you need for your move
Whatever shape your move takes, it is handled by our own people from our own depots.
