International Moves in London

International Moves across 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.

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?

Every job is quoted clearly before we arrive. Your price is built from van size, crew, access and distance, with the first 10 journey miles included. See our pricing page for the full rate card.

Hourly man-and-van services start from £50/hour with a two-hour minimum. After the minimum, extra time is billed in 30-minute blocks. Full house removals receive a fixed quotation based on inventory, access and distance.

Man & van rate guide	Hourly
Small Van + Driver	From £50/hour
Transit Van + Driver	From £55/hour
Luton Van + Driver	From £65/hour
Additional helper	+£20/hour
Two-hour minimum	From £100 before extras

Quotes are free — no deposit or card details just to enquire. A small deposit only applies when you confirm a booking.

WhatsApp or call with your addresses — most replies within about one working hour. Larger jobs can book a free home survey.

What affects the price

A few practical factors move the final number up or down. Knowing them in advance helps you plan and, in many cases, keep costs lower:

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
Timing — evenings, weekends, bank holidays and same-day bookings
Optional extras such as packing, dismantling or storage
