A Cornish firm, not a franchise
Moving in Cornwall has its own character — the single-track lanes, the cottages a big lorry can’t reach, the second homes and holiday lets that change hands by the season, the long haul up-country before you’ve even left the peninsula. We’ve carried enough Cornish households, near and far, to know the job is half graft and half local knowledge. We bring both, and we put the quote in writing before we lift a thing.
What we move
Every kind of Cornish move
We group our work by the life behind the move, not the size of the van. Find the one that fits yours.
Home by the coast
Moving to, from or around the Cornish coast — narrow lanes, cliff-top cottages and coastal streets all part of the day’s work.

Trading one coast for a warmer one — France, Spain, Portugal or Cyprus, with packing, customs and delivery to the door.

The second-home desk
Half of Cornwall’s moves involve a second home or a holiday let. It’s a rhythm of its own — and one we know well.
Changeover days
Holiday-let moves worked around the cleaners, the letting agent and the turnaround, so a busy changeover stays on schedule.
Clearing for sale
Emptying a second home for market — sorted, moved and stored where needed, with the fragile and the valuable given proper care.
Storage between seasons
Somewhere secure to hold furniture between lets, sales or completions, in and out as your dates settle.
Why Cornwall chooses us
Local knowledge, warm hands
We know every lane
The single-track approaches, the cliff-top cottages, the coastal streets a full van can’t take. Local knowledge saves your move time and your walls a scrape.
One firm, start to finish
The person who quotes your move is the person you deal with as it runs. No call-centre, no being passed about once the van’s loaded.
Quoted in writing
We don’t read a number off a screen before we’ve seen the job. You get it in writing, and that’s the price on the day — no add-ons when the van turns up.
Coast to coast
The whole county, north shore to south
Cornwall is a long, thin county with two coasts — and we work all of it. If your move starts or ends in one of these, it’s ours to run.

- Newquay

In their words
What Cornwall says
Representative of the moves we run. Real reviews, collected with consent, replace these as they come in.
“Our cottage is down a lane you’d swear no van could manage. They brought a smaller vehicle for the last stretch, ferried everything down without a scratch, and were cheerful about it the whole way. Proper Cornish know-how.”
“We shipped the whole house out to the Algarve and I’d braced for chaos. The customs list was done right, the packing was faultless, and it arrived in the same order it left. After thirty years by one sea, they set us down by another.”
“Changeover day on the holiday let, tight as anything, and they worked around the cleaners and the agent like they’d done it a hundred times. Which, knowing Cornwall, they probably have.”
A few questions, answered
Which parts of Cornwall do you cover?
All of it, coast to coast — Truro, Newquay, Falmouth, Penzance, St Ives, St Austell, Bodmin, Camborne and Redruth, Bude and the villages between. Cornwall is a long county, so we plan the distance into every job. For moves abroad we collect from anywhere in the county.
How do I get a quote, and will you give me a figure over the phone?
Fill in the quote form with the basics, or give us a ring. We don’t reel off a number before we understand the job — that’s how estimates end up changing on the day. We take your details, talk through anything unusual, and give you a proper quote in writing.
Do you handle second homes and holiday-let moves?
Yes — it’s a big part of moving in Cornwall. Furnishing a second home, changing over a holiday let, or clearing one for sale all have their own rhythm, and we work around key handovers, changeover days and letting-agent access. Tell us what’s involved and we’ll plan around it.
Can you handle narrow lanes, cliff-top cottages and tricky coastal access?
That’s much of what we do here. Cornwall is full of single-track lanes, cottages with no room for a big lorry, and coastal streets that test any driver. We assess access when we quote, bring the right vehicle, and plan a shuttle where a full-size van can’t reach the door.
