The service

Moving to France without the guesswork

Moving to France is a one-day drive and a stack of paperwork, and the second part causes more trouble than the first. We price the run on the published formula — £65 an hour of crew time plus £1.50 a road mile, plus £250 for the eurotunnel, folkestone to calais — so a 2-bed home to Paris is £945 and a 3-bed is £1075. Personal effects moving to a French primary residence are duty-free with a signed inventory, proof of the address and a certificate of change of residence. We prepare the inventory as part of the job.

How it works

Four steps and a price that holds

  1. Tell us both addresses and the home size

    UK postcode out, full address in, bedrooms, and the access at each end — lift, stairs, courtyard or narrow street. That is everything the formula needs.

  2. See the sum before you commit

    We show the crew hours, the road miles, the crossing and any overnight, each as its own line. Permits, hoists and ZTL passes are quoted with the price, not after it.

  3. We handle the paperwork and the crossing

    We prepare the valued inventory, book the tunnel or ferry slot, and arrange the local parking permit through a partner in the destination city.

  4. One crew, door to door

    The same team that loads your UK home drives the route and unloads at the far end, reassembles the furniture and takes the empty cartons away where you want them gone.

Why us

Why France moves go smoothly with us and stay in touch afterwards

One crew, door to door

The team that wraps your sofa in the UK is the team that carries it up the stairs abroad. Nothing is transferred to a groupage warehouse, so nothing is lost between two subcontractors.

A formula, not a mood

Crew hours × £65, road miles × £1.50, one crossing, and £100 a night where the law requires a stop. You can recreate our quote on the back of an envelope.

The paperwork is ours

Valued inventory, export declaration and transfer-of-residence claim prepared by us. You supply identity documents and sign; we file.

Access solved before departure

Bay suspensions in the UK, Halteverbot bays in Germany, ZTL passes in Italy, hoists in the Netherlands. Booked in advance and priced on the quote.

Transparent European pricing

Prices to France the sum, not just the total

The formula

£65/hr crew + £1.50/mile + crossing + £100/overnight

The crossing is £250 by Eurotunnel or Channel ferry and £300 across the Irish Sea. One hour loading and one hour unloading are the baseline. Every price below is that sum with real numbers in it.

    Extra crew and equipment, quoted on survey

Every price in this silo is the same sum: £65 an hour of crew time, plus £1.50 a road mile door to door, plus one booked crossing (£250 Eurotunnel or Channel ferry, £300 Irish Sea), plus £100 a night where drivers' hours rules force a stop. VAT, fuel, motorway tolls on the trunk route, blankets, straps, goods-in-transit cover and the customs inventory are inside that price. Local permits, ZTL passes, furniture hoists and parking-bay suspensions are quoted with the price before you book, never added after the load is on the lorry.

  • Access in Paris: Paris apartment blocks rarely take a 7.5t lorry on the street. We shuttle in a Luton from a legal stopping point and, where the building has one, book the service lift slot in advance — most syndics need three working days' notice.
  • Volume, not bedrooms — most France jobs we run are 1–2 bed flats and single-room student moves; kitchen and bedroom contents, few white goods.
  • The route: M20 to Folkestone, Eurotunnel to Calais, A26 south. Trunk tolls are inside the mileage rate; alpine or estuary tunnels are itemised.
  • Paperwork: Personal effects moving to a French primary residence are duty-free with a signed inventory, proof of the address and a certificate of change of residence. We prepare the inventory as part of the job.
  • Timing: crossings price up sharply in July, August and the fortnight before Christmas — book four weeks out where you can.

We had a team of two come round to complete an end of tenancy clean. They did a fantastic and thorough job, working around furnitures and the last few boxes and suitcases we had in the flat and being very considerate while I worked from home during the clean. Would definitely recommend the service!
