Removals from the UK to Europe
Moving abroad from the UK? We run European removals to France, Spain, Italy and Portugal — homes and businesses, collected from anywhere in the country, with the customs side handled.
As a national mover, our reach is the advantage on a European move: we run international removals from right across the UK, not just the South East. We handle uk to france removals, moving from uk to spain, and moves to Italy and Portugal as planned road jobs — collecting from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol and well beyond, then consolidating the load for the run to the Channel.
Whether it is a family relocating, a downsizer heading for the sun, or a business moving a site abroad, your goods travel either on a dedicated vehicle or shared with other consignments on the same corridor — the quote sets out which suits your volume and timing.
Where we move from the UK
Removals from the UK to France
Paris, Normandy, the Dordogne and the south — down the M20 to Dover or the Eurotunnel, then onto the French autoroutes. The closest European move.
Route & customsRemovals from the UK to Spain
The Costas, Barcelona, Madrid and the islands by road-plus-ferry — across the Channel and down through France to the border.
Route & customsRemovals from the UK to Italy
Milan, Tuscany, Rome and the lakes — through France and over the Alps by the Fréjus or Mont Blanc tunnel, then down the peninsula.
Route & customsRemovals from the UK to Portugal
Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve and the Silver Coast — the long Atlantic run across France and Spain to the far south-west.
Route & customsThe route out of the UK
Nearly every European move funnels through the same corridor: the UK motorway network down to Kent — the M1, M6, M40 and M25 feeding the M20 and M2 — then Dover for the ferry or Folkestone for the Eurotunnel shuttle. From Calais the Continent opens up, and the route from there depends on whether you are bound for northern France, the Spanish costas, the Italian lakes or the Portuguese coast.
Customs & paperwork, handled
Since the UK left the EU, moving your belongings to the Continent means a customs declaration and a detailed inventory, plus transit documents for the crossing. Used household effects may qualify for relief when you are transferring your main residence. We prepare the declarations, explain what you need to provide, and manage the border side so your goods keep moving.
The dedicated country pages go into the route, the regions and the paperwork in detail — start with the UK to France or the UK to Spain. Moving within the UK instead? See our national coverage.
European removals — questions
Which countries do you move to?
Our European arm covers removals from the UK to France, Spain, Italy and Portugal, with dedicated pages for each route. Moves further afield can be arranged on request, but Europe is where we run regular, planned road removals.
Do you collect from anywhere in the UK?
Yes. We consolidate European loads from across the country — London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol and well beyond — then run them down to the Channel. Where you start does not change whether the move works.
Who handles the customs paperwork after Brexit?
We do. A move to the EU now needs a customs declaration and a detailed inventory, and used household effects may qualify for relief when you are transferring your main residence. We prepare the declarations and transit documents and tell you exactly what to provide.
Can I share a load to keep the cost sensible?
Often, yes. If your volume does not fill a vehicle and your dates are flexible, your goods can travel consolidated with other moves on the same route. A larger or time-critical move goes dedicated. Your quote sets out which suits you.
How long does a European move take?
It depends on the destination, the crossing, customs clearance and whether the load is dedicated or shared. Your written quote gives an estimated window for your specific route rather than a blanket promise.
