Moving abroad from Davenport
Hours, miles and one crossing — shown in full
Relocating from Davenport to the continent? The van that loads on your street is the van that unloads in France, Germany, Spain or the Netherlands — nothing is trans-shipped. The estimate is £45/hr solo or £65/hr with two movers, £1.50 a mile, plus the crossing at about £180.
Paperwork matters as much as access on a European job. We prepare the CMR consignment note and the itemised packing list with you, flag whether transfer-of-residence relief applies, and carry the documents with the load so nothing is held at the border.
Staying in the UK? Long distance moves from Davenport use the same rate card without the crossing.

No hidden maths
How a Davenport European estimate is worked out
Step 1
UK leg to the terminal
Measured road miles from your Greater Manchester address to the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone.
Step 2
Continental leg from Calais
Measured road miles from Calais to the destination city, added to the UK leg.
Step 3
Hours at 50 mph plus 1.5
Total miles converted to driving hours at a blended average that allows for the terminal wait, then the standard loading and unloading allowance is added.
Step 4
Rate, mileage and the crossing
£45/hr solo or £65/hr for two movers, plus £1.50 a mile and one crossing at about £180.
The formula: (UK miles + continental miles ÷ 50 mph + 1.5 hrs) × your hourly rate + (total miles × £1.5) + one crossing at £180. A 700-mile run to Paris or Brussels is therefore about 15.5 billable hours plus £1,050 of travel and the ticket.
What the price buys
What is included from Davenport
One crew, both countries
The team that loads in Davenport is the team that unloads at your European address. No depot handover, no groupage warehouse, no second set of hands on your furniture.
Crossing booked for you
Eurotunnel from Folkestone or the Dover–Calais ferry, reserved in advance and itemised at about £180 for the van and crew rather than buried in a round number.
1.5 hours handling included
Every estimate carries 90 minutes of loading and unloading. Additional time runs in 15-minute blocks at the same hourly rate.
Customs documents prepared
CMR consignment note, an itemised valued inventory and the transfer-of-residence forms your destination country asks for — drafted with you before the van moves.
Export-grade protection
Double-wall cartons, blankets, wardrobe rails, mattress bags and edge protection travel with every Davenport load, plus dismantle here and rebuild there.
Insured the whole way
Goods-in-transit cover and European liability apply from the first lift in Greater Manchester to the last box placed abroad.
Border paperwork, handled
Customs documents for a move from Davenport
Since 2021 a UK–EU household move is an export. It is routine when the paperwork is right and expensive when it is not, so we prepare it with you before the van leaves Davenport.
CMR consignment note
The international road-haulage document that travels with the load. We complete it and you sign it at collection and again at delivery.
Itemised, valued inventory
A numbered packing list in English with values. It is what customs read and what any insurance claim is settled against, so it is worth an hour of your time.
Transfer of residence relief
If you are moving your home rather than shipping goods, most EU states waive duty on used personal effects owned for six months. We tell you which national form applies.
Proof of address at both ends
A tenancy agreement, deed or utility bill for the destination address, plus your Greater Manchester address, satisfies most border checks.
Restricted items
Alcohol above personal allowances, plants, seeds, meat, dairy, fuel, gas bottles and aerosols either cannot travel or need a declaration. We flag them at survey.
Pets, vehicles and firearms
These move under separate rules and are never carried on the removals van. We will point you to the right carrier rather than take the booking.
Move day, start to finish
How a European move from Davenport runs
Stage 1
Survey and fixed quote
A video or on-site survey confirms the inventory, the access and the crew size, and the estimate becomes a fixed door-to-door price with the crossing itemised. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Davenport or across to Stockport.
Stage 2
Paperwork week
CMR note, valued inventory and any transfer-of-residence form are drafted, checked and signed while the crossing slot is reserved. Crews run from Stockport, so Stockport and Edgeley journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Stage 3
Load day
Crew arrives inside a one-hour window, protects floors and frames, dismantles beds and flat-pack and loads to an export plan. Woodsmoor shops, Davenport Golf Club and a settled family base — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Stage 4
Crossing
Tunnel or ferry with the load sealed on the same vehicle. Nothing is trans-shipped and no one else's furniture joins it. Booked most often on the SK2 streets around Davenport station.
Stage 5
Continental run
The same crew drives the European leg with a tachograph-legal schedule, and you get a delivery window the day before arrival. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Stage 6
Unload and rebuild
Boxes go to the right rooms, furniture is rebuilt, the CMR is signed off and packing debris leaves with the van. Crews run from Stockport, so Stockport and Edgeley journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
What the fixed price covers
Inside a Davenport European booking
- Same crew loads in Greater Manchester and unloads at the European address
- Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais crossing booked, itemised and included in the quote
- CMR paperwork, transfer of residence list and customs documentation prepared with you
- Beds, wardrobes and flat-pack dismantled here and rebuilt at the other end
- Export-grade cartons, blankets, straps and wardrobe rails carried on every load
- Goods-in-transit and European liability cover for the whole journey
Access, parking and timing
Loading in Davenport: what the crew plans for
Large Edwardian and 1930s semis with long gardens and original bay windows. That stock, the street it sits on and the Stockport Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
How Davenport homes actually load
Driveway loading makes these moves efficient. What moves the price is the loft, the garage and the shed, so the survey deliberately opens all three. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Parking the van in SK2
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Stockport Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Timing a European move in Davenport
We schedule Davenport jobs so the loading window sits outside the Stockport rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Davenport or across to Stockport.
Before you accept the quote
Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a European relocation here far more than the SK2 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. Woodsmoor shops, Davenport Golf Club and a settled family base — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Booked here week to week
Jobs we run most often in Davenport
If one of these looks like yours, say so when you enquire — we will quote it from the closest job we have already done in Stockport rather than starting from a blank form.
Customs papers included
Family relocation to Spain, Italy or Portugal
Two movers at £65 an hour, export-grade cartons, dismantle here and rebuild there, with the CMR note and valued inventory prepared before the van leaves Davenport. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Davenport or across to Stockport.
Dedicated van
Job or study move out of Stockport
Fixed collection window and a named delivery date you can give a landlord or a university, with the mileage, hours and ferry or tunnel ticket shown as separate lines on the quote. Woodsmoor shops, Davenport Golf Club and a settled family base — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Crossing itemised
Davenport to France, Belgium or the Netherlands
A one- or two-day run: loaded here, through the tunnel the same evening and unloaded at the European address, with the crossing itemised rather than hidden in a round number. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Davenport or across to Stockport.
One man and van, £45/hr
Part loads to an EU city from SK2
A room or a studio's worth of contents heading abroad at £45 an hour plus mileage, instead of paying a full container rate for half a van. Booked most often on the SK2 streets around Davenport station.
How it works in Davenport

We price your European move in writing, usually the same day, with the labour, materials and disposal all itemised so nothing appears later.

Morning or afternoon, weekly, fortnightly or one-off. Recurring visits keep the same slot, so Davenport clients know exactly when the door will go.
- Step 4
Finished and signed off
Work runs to the written spec, and the job isn't closed until it has been checked against it. If something on the list was missed, we return and put it right free.

European moves in Davenport: local proof

Answers before you book
Davenport European move FAQs
How much does it cost to move from Davenport to Paris?
About 449 road miles door to door (266 to the terminal, 183 from Calais) and roughly 9 hours of driving. With the 1.5 hours of handling and the crossing included, that estimates at around £1,330 for one man and a van, or £1,540 for two movers and a van — typically 1–2 days. Woodsmoor shops, Davenport Golf Club and a settled family base — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerWhat would Davenport to Barcelona or Amsterdam cost?
Barcelona is about 1092 miles and estimates at £2,870 solo or £3,335 with two movers (2–3 days). Amsterdam is far shorter at roughly 470 miles — around £1,380 or £1,595, usually 1–2 days. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerWho handles the customs paperwork?
We prepare the CMR consignment note and the packing list with you, and tell you exactly which transfer-of-residence or import forms the destination country wants. You sign them; we carry them. Roughly 3,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerHow long does a European move in Davenport usually take?
Most SK2 European relocations finish inside a working day. Floor level, lift availability and carry distance change that more than the size of the property, which is why we time the job from the survey rather than the bedroom count. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Davenport or across to Stockport.
Link to this answerIs there anything you cannot move out of Davenport?
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym equipment and large glass units all move, but they are quoted at survey because they need extra crew or kit. Paint, fuel, gas bottles and perishables we cannot legally carry — Stockport customers usually clear those with the same booking. Local context matters here: named for the davenport family of bramall hall; built out as railway commuter housing from the 1860s, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerAre the prices on this page fixed?
They are honest estimates from the published rate card using measured distances. Send an inventory and the access details at both ends and we convert the estimate into a fixed door-to-door price we hold, crossing included. Local context matters here: named for the davenport family of bramall hall; built out as railway commuter housing from the 1860s, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerDo you move from the areas around Davenport?
Yes — Stockport, Edgeley, Hazel Grove, Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page, sample routes and the same rate card. Roughly 3,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerWhat if my new place is not ready?
The load goes into secure storage here or near the destination and is delivered on the date you name. Storage is billed per week and the crossing is booked once the date is fixed. Most Davenport properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerCan you collect at short notice?
Yes, subject to crossing availability. Eurotunnel slots in July, August and the last week of any month sell out first, so a fortnight's notice usually saves money as well as stress. Local context matters here: named for the davenport family of bramall hall; built out as railway commuter housing from the 1860s, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerDo you charge to get the van to Davenport?
No. Mileage is counted from your Davenport door onwards, not from our base, so there is no charge to reach SK2 or SK3. Booked most often on the SK2 streets around Davenport station.
Link to this answerWhat customs paperwork do I need?
A CMR consignment note, an itemised valued inventory and, in most cases, the destination country's transfer-of-residence form for used personal effects. We prepare the first two with you and tell you which national form applies. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerHow exactly is a European estimate worked out?
Miles to the Folkestone terminal plus miles from Calais to your new address, divided by 50 mph, plus 1.5 hours of loading and unloading, multiplied by £45/hr for one man and a van or £65/hr for two movers — then £1.50 for every mile travelled and one crossing at about £180. Nothing else is added unless you book packing or storage. Roughly 3,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerCan you handle the stairs and access in semi-detached homes around Davenport station and Woodsmoor Lane's Edwardian villas?
Semis here usually give you a driveway or a dropped kerb, which keeps the carry short — the time goes into loft contents, garage shelving and the garden kit people forget to mention until the day. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Roughly 3,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerDo I need a parking permit or bay suspension in Davenport?
Often, yes — Stockport Council controls loading on most SK2 and SK3 streets. We check your street at survey and, where a suspension saves a long carry, we apply for it and show the cost in the quote before you accept it. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Davenport or across to Stockport.

Before you book
What you are actually agreeing to
Before you pay a deposit anywhere, check the quote answers these four questions. Ours does, in writing, before your Davenport date is held.
If something goes wrong
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Davenport European relocation, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
Talk to someone local
Call 020 3633 4555 and ask what a European move like yours costs priced by miles, hours and one crossing. If a cheaper option fits better — a smaller van, an hourly booking, a different day — we will say so.
The price cannot move on the day
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the SK2 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
Dates that move
Your load stays sealed and insured overnight for a fixed fee and delivers first thing — we do not unload onto a driveway or re-quote the second day at short-notice rates.

Four weeks before — book and confirm
- Confirm the move date and slot for your Davenport address in writing.
- Book the van size against your property type — Large Edwardian and 1930s semis with long gardens and original bay windows.
- Check whether Stockport Council needs a parking dispensation or suspended bay on your street.
- Tell your landlord or agent the exact handover date and key-return time.
- Book any end-of-tenancy or pre-move-in clean for the day either side of the move.
- Start using up freezer food, cleaning products and anything that cannot travel.
Two weeks before — paperwork and access
- Apply for the Stockport Council permit or bay suspension (allow 5–10 working days).
- Book the lift or service entrance if your building near Davenport station and Woodsmoor Lane's Edwardian villas has one.
- Redirect post and update your address on the SK2 electoral roll, bank and insurance.
- Notify energy, water, broadband and council tax with opening and closing dates.
- Register with a new GP, dentist and vet if you are leaving the area.
- Arrange school transfers or nursery notice periods.
One week before — pack room by room
- Label every box with the destination room, not the room it came from.
- Pack a 'first night' box: kettle, mugs, chargers, bedding, toilet roll, medication.
- Photograph the back of the TV and any flat-pack you are dismantling.
- Drain the washing machine and fit its transit bolts.
- Dispose of paint, oils and garden waste through the Stockport Council tip — the crew cannot legally load them.
- Set aside valuables, passports and jewellery to travel with you.
The day before — final prep
- Charge phones and keep a paper copy of the crew's number and the new address.
- Defrost the fridge-freezer and towel it dry.
- Take meter readings at the old property and photograph them.
- Put cones or bins out to hold the loading space if Davenport parking is tight.
- Bag bedding and clothes, and strip the beds you are taking.
- Confirm arrival window with the crew and the key-collection time with the agent.
Moving day — loading
- Walk the crew through the property and flag fragile and do-not-load items.
- Protect carpets, stair noses and door frames before the first box moves.
- Load heavy furniture first, boxes second, soft furnishings last.
- Keep the first-night box and paperwork with you, not in the van.
- Check lofts, sheds, the garden and every cupboard before the van leaves.
- Final meter readings, lock up and hand back keys.
Moving day — unloading and sign-off
- Direct each box to its labelled room as it comes off the van.
- Build beds first so the day can end even if boxes are still packed.
- Test the boiler, hot water, smoke alarms and the consumer unit.
- Take arrival meter readings and photograph them.
- Check items against your inventory and report damage before the crew leaves.
- Break down boxes and book a recycling collection or clearance slot.
