Launceston Removals — What We Offer
Launceston is the ancient capital of Cornwall, sitting on the border with Devon about 25 miles north of Plymouth. It's a town steeped in history, and our removals team is experienced with the unique challenges of moving in and around this characterful area. From the castle quarter to newer developments on the edge of town, we provide careful, professional removals for every type of property.
Local Information — Launceston, Cornwall
Launceston's historic centre around the castle features narrow medieval streets and period properties that require careful navigation. Our team is experienced with these challenges and always carries the right equipment — including specialist wrapping for valuable or antique furniture. The town also has modern housing estates off the Tavistock Road link. We serve surrounding villages including Lifton, Lewdown, South Petherwin, and Altarnun. The A30 and A388 provide good road links to Plymouth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals from Launceston cost?
Launceston removals start from around £270 for smaller moves, reflecting the 25-mile distance from Plymouth. For full house moves, we recommend a survey for an accurate quote. All our quotes are honest and all-inclusive.
Is Launceston too far for your service?
Not at all. Launceston is well within our regular coverage area and we travel there frequently. We also handle much longer distances — many of our moves are from Plymouth to London and beyond.
Can you handle period properties in Launceston?
Yes, we have extensive experience with older properties that have narrow doorways, tight staircases, and limited parking. We carry specialist equipment and take extra care with listed or period buildings.
Do you cover the North Cornwall area?
Yes, from our Launceston coverage we also serve Holsworthy, Bude, Camelford, and surrounding villages. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just give us a call.
What size vehicles do you use for Launceston moves?
We use 3.5-tonne Luton vans with tail lifts for full house moves, and smaller transit vans for man and van jobs. We'll recommend the right vehicle when you get your quote.
Do I need removal insurance or is the company covered?
A reputable removal company should carry their own goods-in-transit insurance and public liability cover. Two Man Removals is fully insured as standard on every move — your belongings are protected from the moment we pick them up to the moment we set them down.
Can removal companies work in the rain?
Yes, professional movers work in all weather. At Two Man Removals, we use protective covers, blankets, and waterproof wrapping to keep your belongings dry. We'll never cancel a move due to rain — your moving day goes ahead as planned.
What should I keep with me on moving day?
Keep valuables (jewellery, passports, cash), medications, phone chargers, house keys, important documents, a change of clothes, and basic toiletries with you — not on the van. Pack these in a clearly labelled bag so they don't get mixed in with boxes.
How do removal companies protect furniture during a move?
We use thick padded blankets to wrap all furniture, mattress protectors for beds, bubble wrap for fragile items, and stretch wrap for upholstery. Door frames and banisters are protected with padding. This careful approach is why we have over 600 five-star reviews.
Can removal companies move a piano or heavy items?
Yes, we can move pianos, safes, gym equipment, and other heavy items. These require careful planning and sometimes specialist equipment. Let us know during your survey and we'll make sure we have the right team and tools for the job.
