International moves from London, done properly

Moving abroad takes more than a big van — it takes packing standards, paperwork awareness and partners you can trust at the other end. Our international moves service covers door-to-door relocations across Europe and beyond, coordinated from London.

We start with a survey and inventory, agree road, sea or air options, and pack to export standards where needed. You’ll have one UK contact who keeps the journey visible from collection to delivery.

Whether you’re relocating for work, study or a new chapter overseas, we keep the London end calm and professional so the rest of the journey has a solid start.

Popular removals from the UK

Most of our international removals start in London and head to Europe by road, where a part-load or dedicated vehicle is usually faster and cheaper than sea freight. For longer routes we arrange container or air shipping through vetted partners and keep the London end — packing, inventory and loading — in our own hands.

  • Removals to France, Spain and Portugal from the UK
  • Removals to Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg
  • Removals to Switzerland and Austria
  • UK to Ireland removals
  • Removals to Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland
  • Removals to the Baltics, Bulgaria and Romania
  • Removals to Malta and Cyprus
  • Removals to the USA, UAE (Dubai), Singapore, Hong Kong and South Africa

Road, sea or air — which suits your move?

Removals to Europe from the UK usually go by road: your belongings are loaded in London and delivered to the door, often within a week. Moves to the USA, UAE or Asia normally go by sea container, which takes longer but suits full household loads; air freight works for a few urgent boxes.

We’ll explain the options for your destination at survey stage, including realistic transit times and the documents you’re likely to need, and give you one fixed price for the agreed service.

What’s included as standard

We believe the price you’re quoted should be the price you pay. That’s why every international moves booking comes with the essentials built in — no surprise charges bolted on when the crew arrives.

  • Survey and export-ready inventory
  • Professional packing to international standards
  • Road, sea or air options as appropriate
  • UK collection and destination liaison

How it works, step by step

We’ve refined our process across London moves every week to keep everything simple and predictable. Here’s exactly what happens from your first enquiry through to completion.

  1. Get your free quote

    Tell us what you need moving, your pickup and delivery addresses and your preferred date. Start your quote in under a minute — we usually reply with a clear fixed price within about one working hour. No site visit required for most jobs; a free home survey is available for larger moves.

  2. Confirm your booking

    Pick a date and time that suits you. A small deposit is only asked when you confirm the booking — it comes off your final balance. We’ll send a confirmation with everything you need to prepare, plus a friendly reminder as the day approaches.

  3. We prepare and protect

    On the day, our uniformed crew arrives on time with blankets, straps and trolleys. We protect floors, doorways and furniture before anything is lifted, so your home and your belongings stay in perfect condition.

  4. Careful transport

    Your items are loaded, secured and driven safely to the destination by an experienced London driver who knows the boroughs, the permit zones and the quickest routes at any time of day.

  5. Unload and settle in

    We place everything exactly where you want it, reassemble anything we took apart and only leave once you’re completely happy. Payment is taken on completion — simple and stress-free.

How much does it cost?

International Moves is priced per job: we agree a fixed quote on the call, based on what is moving, access and distance. You know the total before we arrive.

The first 10 journey miles are included, then £1.50 a mile. See our pricing page for the full rate card and calculator.

  • The volume of items and the size of van required
  • How many crew members or helpers you need
  • Access at both addresses — stairs, lifts and carry distance
  • Total mileage beyond the first 10 included miles
