The routes
Four destinations from the UK.
Each country has its own customs paperwork, its own building rules and its own awkward streets. Keeping to four means each one is planned properly.

Destination 02
Italy
Tuscan farmhouses, lakeside flats, Roman apartments. A long road south, and historic centres that limit what vehicle can get in.
Removals to Italy -
Destination 03
Spain
Costa apartments, Madrid and Barcelona flats, village houses in Andalucía. Community rules and city permits matter as much as the drive.
Removals to Spain -
Destination 04
Portugal
Lisbon and Porto apartments, Algarve villas, quintas inland. The furthest drive, steep streets, and a tax number before anything else.

Before you book
How to choose an international removal company in the UK.
Comparing international removal companies is hard when every website promises the same thing. These are the questions worth asking any of them, us included, and what a good answer sounds like.
- 01
Will they see your belongings before they price the move?
A figure based on a bedroom count is a guess. Volume, fragile pieces, and access at both addresses all change the cost, and a survey is the only way to capture them. Be wary of a firm prepared to fix a price without looking.
- 02
Is the quote in writing, and what does it include?
Ask for packing, materials, customs paperwork, transport, delivery, unpacking and storage to be listed separately. Anything not on the page should be treated as not included.
- 03
Who prepares the customs paperwork?
Moving from the UK to an EU country needs an export declaration here and an import claim in the destination country. Find out who drafts each document, what you will need to supply, and who deals with customs if they have a question.
- 04
What transit cover is offered, and on what terms?
Ask how goods are valued, what is excluded, whether items you pack yourself are covered, and how a claim is made. Get the terms in writing before you pay a deposit.
- 05
Who does the delivery at the other end?
Some firms deliver with the crew that collected; others hand over to a partner abroad. Either can work. What matters is knowing who will be at your door, and who you call if something goes wrong.
- 06
Shared load or dedicated vehicle?
A shared load travels with other households on the same route and is usually cheaper, with a broader delivery window. A dedicated vehicle runs to your dates. Make sure the quote says which one you are buying.
- 07
Are trade association claims checkable?
If a remover says it belongs to a trade association or offers a deposit-protection scheme, check it on the association’s own website. A genuine member will not mind you asking.
- 08
What happens if your dates change?
Completions slip on both sides of the Channel. Ask what storage is available, where, and how it is charged, before you need it.
Common questions
Asked first.
Questions that apply to every route. Country-specific answers are on each destination page.
-
France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, from anywhere in the UK. Those are the only four destinations we take bookings for.
-
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, from cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Bristol, and from rural addresses too. Collections from Northern Ireland follow different customs arrangements, so mention it early.
-
Send the quote form with your two addresses and a rough idea of dates. A surveyor arranges a visit to your UK home, looks at what is moving and asks about access at both ends. You then receive one written quote that lists what is included.
-
Ask whether they survey before pricing, what the written quote includes, who prepares the customs paperwork, what transit cover is offered and on what terms, and who delivers at the other end. Check any trade association membership on the association’s own website.
-
Yes. We prepare the UK export declaration and the import documents for the destination country, built from the inventory you check and sign. You supply the personal documents only you hold, such as proof of address.
-
People moving their main home to an EU country can usually import personal belongings free of duty and VAT, if the goods have been owned and used for the qualifying period. New purchases, alcohol and vehicles can be treated differently. We confirm what applies after the survey.
