What’s included in your European move
Whether you’re moving a full house or just a few boxes, we’ve got you covered.
Dedicated removals (full-load)
Best for larger moves. You get your own vehicle, direct transport, and a set delivery schedule that works around you.
Part-load removals (groupage)
Ideal for smaller moves. You share a vehicle with others going the same way, which keeps costs down while still ensuring careful handling.
Both services include:
-
Collection and delivery across Europe
-
Optional packing and unpacking
-
Customs support where needed
-
Short or long-term storage solutions
How we handle your move from start to finish
From start to finish, here’s what to expect:
-
Initial contact & free quote – We offer a free home or video survey to assess your move.
-
Tailored move plan – You’ll get a fixed quote and clear schedule with no hidden costs.
-
Packing & loading – We offer full or fragile packing, or supply high-quality materials.
-
Customs & transport – We take care of all Brexit-related paperwork and customs clearance.

Short and long-term storage available
Need time before or after your move? We offer secure, fully insured storage facilities across the UK and Europe – ideal for bridging gaps in your moving timeline.
Support with customs and documentation
Whether your move is to Europe or from Europe to the UK, paperwork and customs rules can be a headache. One of the most important steps when moving to the UK is applying for Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief, which can help you avoid import duties on your belongings.
We don’t fill out the forms for you, but we do make the process easier. Our team will explain:
-
What ToR is and why it matters
-
What documents you’ll need
-
How and when to apply
-
What to expect at customs
With the right guidance, your move won’t be delayed by paperwork.

Frequently asked questions about European removals
Got questions about moving within Europe? Here are some of the most common things people ask us.
How much does a European removal cost?
Costs vary depending on distance, volume, service type (full-load vs part-load), and any extras like packing or storage. We offer fixed quotes after a free survey — no surprises, just clear pricing.
Do you offer part-load removals across Europe?
Yes. Part-load (or groupage) is perfect for smaller moves. You share space in a truck with others heading the same way, which saves money while ensuring professional handling.
Can I move from one European country to another without going through the UK?
Absolutely. We don’t just move people to and from the UK — we also handle direct removals between European countries, like France to Spain or Germany to Portugal.
What’s the cheapest time of year to move in Europe?
Off-peak months like January, February, and November tend to be cheaper and less busy. Weekdays are also more cost-effective than weekends.
Do you help with customs and documents for European moves?
Yes. We support you with everything from Transfer of Residence (ToR) guidance to customs declarations post-Brexit. While we don’t fill out the paperwork for you, we make sure you understand what’s needed and when.
How long do European removals take?
It depends on your destination and the type of service. A direct full-load move could be completed within a few days. Part-loads take a bit longer due to multiple stops. We’ll always provide a clear schedule before you book.
Do you provide packing services for moves to Europe?
Yes, we offer full packing, fragile-only packing, or supply high-quality materials if you prefer to pack yourself. Unpacking options are also available at your destination.
What if I need storage before or after moving?
No problem. We offer secure, fully insured storage across the UK and Europe for short or long-term needs — perfect if your new home isn’t ready yet.
