Our Story: Family-Run Removals & Clearances in Devon

Afordable Services, Phil, Tania and Leon

Take a look at our story and how we became Afordable Services providing not only a removals service but also the full clearance service.

Afordable Services is owned and operated by the Ford family. Based in Devon, we established our business to offer local residents a dependable, honest, and professional choice for removals and property clearances. When you hire us, you deal directly with our family from start to finish:

Tania manages our office, answering your calls, answering enquiries, and scheduling bookings.
Phil coordinates our face-to-face services, carrying out property viewings.
Leon works alongside Phil to handle the physical logistics of loading, transport, and unloading.

Whether we are packing your belongings together as a full team or handling a large house clearance, we bring a dedicated, family-oriented approach to every single job.

A Personal Approach to House Removals & Clearances

No faceless call centres, just Phil, Tania, and Leon Ford taking care of your move.

We are Phil, Tania and Leon Ford. From full house removals to clearances, we'll be there all the way. When a viewing is needed we personally visit the property for a more accurate quote and we are personally on-site to oversee every aspect of the job, providing a quality and afordable service."Moving home carefully costs less in the end, giving you peace of mind to put your feet up."

Over 10 Years of Trusted Removals Experience

We experienced the frustrations of moving home, so we built a better way to do it.

Established in 2013. Moving home a few times ourselves, we noticed that with the big companies, you're never dealing with one person. On the day of your move you've dealt with about four different people. Man and Van can be hit or miss. Unmarked vans and hire vans can mean they aren't an established company. Do they really have the insurances they claim to have? Are they going to look after my belongings? Not all man and van companies have up to date information on social media so you can check their history and reviews. This is why we feel passionate about creating a smooth move to the best of our ability and ensuring the client is happy with their service.

We don’t just move your belongings safely; we look after the planet too.

We are all becoming aware of environmental issues and want to make a greener choice in all aspects of our day-to-day operations, the removals industry is no exception.

Afordable Services are taking an active role to help protect the planet's long-term future working hard to deliver an environmentally friendly solution when offering a removal service. We are committed to conducting business in an environmentally responsible and proactive manner.

We aim to conserve natural resources and minimise waste through:

Supplying re-usable packing for free subject to availability.
Re-using packaging materials whenever possible.

Giving Back to Our Community

During property clearances, we often uncover pre-loved items that are far too good to throw away. Rather than letting quality pieces go to waste, we sell selected items through a designated charity account at local auctions. Every penny raised goes directly to the Royal British Legion to support service personnel and their families.
