Removal Costs
in Taunton
Taunton is the main service town between Bristol and Exeter, with good M5 access for both local and long-distance moves.
£310 – £580
Under 50 miles • 2-3 bed average
£580 – £1250
50+ miles • 2-3 bed average
The average house move cost in Taunton is £310–£580 for a typical 2–3 bed home moving locally, covering loading, transport and unloading by a professional removal company. Long-distance moves from Taunton run £580–£1250 depending on distance and volume.
Taunton's spot on the M5 midway between Bristol and Exeter makes it one of the better-served moving markets in the South West: vans pass through constantly, so both local moves (£310–£580 for a 2–3 bed) and the two big corridors — Bristol at £350–£610 over 44 miles, Exeter at £330–£560 over 35 — price competitively. As Somerset's county town it also draws in moves from surrounding villages, where the real access questions live: single-track lanes and thatched-cottage doorways, not city parking.
The town itself is straightforward — a mix of Victorian streets near the centre and easy modern estates around the edges. For London (£720–£1,240 over 165 miles), ask about return loads: the M5/M4 corridor carries steady two-way removals traffic and a flexible date can knock a third off the quote.

Moving Tips for Taunton
- 1
Confirm parking and any access restrictions at both ends of your move in Taunton before the day - older streets and apartment blocks can slow loading.
- 2
Mid-week, mid-month moves in Taunton are typically 10-20% cheaper than Friday or end-of-month slots.
- 3
If you're moving from a flat, check whether the building has a goods lift or restricted move-in hours.
- 4
Always compare quotes from at least three local Taunton firms - prices vary widely between operators.
Moving and Storage in Taunton
If there's a gap between moving out and moving in, most removal companies serving Taunton offer removals with storage: your belongings are loaded once into a sealed container, stored, and delivered when you're ready. Expect the transport leg to cost about the same as a standard local move, plus typically £20–£40 per week per container for the storage itself.
Containerised storage through your remover halves the handling compared with filling a self-storage unit yourself — and if you book both moves with the same firm, ask for a discount on the second leg. Full details in our moving to storage cost guide.
