Moving a large family home requires more than just a transit van; it requires a strategic logistical partner. As a family-run removal company with over 50 years of heritage, Michael Garrett Removals & Storage specializes in the complexities of high-volume moves. We understand that larger properties in Torquay often house valuable antiques, fine art, and extensive inventories that demand a higher level of care. Our team doesn't just provide muscle; we offer a "white-glove" approach to removals, utilizing specialized packing materials and custom loading techniques to ensure every high-value item is protected.
Seamless transition storage
For many homeowners in the Torbay area, the moving process involves a gap between leaving the old property and receiving the keys to the new one. Michael Garrett Removals & Storage provides a dedicated "in-between" solution that eliminates the stress of traditional self-storage.
​
Unlike self-managed units, our transit storage model involves loading your belongings directly into secure containers at your home. These containers are then sealed and transported to our facility, where they remain untouched until your new Torquay residence is ready for delivery. This method significantly reduces handling, minimizes the risk of damage, and ensures a seamless transition for clients navigating complex property chains. When you choose a premier removal company, you aren't just moving boxes; you are securing the future of your home’s legacy.

We are committed to reliability and professionalism in every move we undertake.
​
How much does a house removal service typically cost?
-
The cost of a house removal service varies based on several factors, including the size of your home, the volume of your belongings, the distance of your move, and any additional services you may need, such as packing or storage. We provide a detailed, no-obligation quote after assessing your specific needs to ensure transparent and fair pricing.
​
Do you offer storage solutions in Torquay for my belongings?
-
Yes, in addition to our house removals services, we offer secure storage solutions in Torquay. Our storage facilities are designed to keep your belongings safe and protected for as long as you need, providing a flexible and reliable option for those in between moves or in need of extra space.
What is the difference between your storage and self-storage?
-
Traditional self-storage requires you to load a van, unload into a unit, and then reload a van later—tripling the risk of accidental damage. Our transit storage is containerized. We load your items once, seal the container, and use specialized forklifts to move the entire unit. You save time, and your furniture is handled much less frequently.
How do you handle large or awkward items like grand pianos?
-
Larger properties often feature complex items that man and van services cannot handle. We use heavy-duty tail lifts, specialized piano shoes, and protective transit blankets. Our team is trained in the physics of weight distribution, ensuring that even the most cumbersome furniture is moved without straining the item or the property's door frames.
Is your packing service all-or-nothing?
-
Not at all. While most owners of large estates prefer our full packing service, where we handle everything from the attic to the cellar, we also offer Fragile-Only packing. This focuses our expertise on your glassware, china, and artwork, while you manage the non-breakable household items.
How far in advance should I book my Torquay removal?
-
For larger 4+ bedroom properties, we recommend contacting us at least four to six weeks in advance. This allows us to conduct a thorough site survey and ensure we have the appropriate fleet and crew size available to complete your move in a single, efficient window.
