Hours, miles and one crossing — shown in full

Relocating from Salford 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 Salford use the same rate card without the crossing.

No hidden maths

How a Salford European estimate is worked out

  1. Step 1

    UK leg to the terminal

    Measured road miles from your Greater Manchester address to the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone.

  2. Step 2

    Continental leg from Calais

    Measured road miles from Calais to the destination city, added to the UK leg.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Salford

One crew, both countries

The team that loads in Salford 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 Salford 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 Salford

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 Salford.

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 Salford runs

  1. 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. Booked most often on the M5 streets around Salford Lads Club.

  2. 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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

  3. 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. In Salford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.

  4. 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Salford or across to Ordsall.

  5. 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. In Salford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.

  6. 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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

What the fixed price covers

Inside a Salford 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 Salford: what the crew plans for

Terraces, 1960s tower blocks and a wall of new Chapel Street apartment schemes. That stock, the street it sits on and the Salford City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.

Timing a European move in Salford

We schedule Salford jobs so the loading window sits outside the Salford rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Booked most often on the M5 streets around Salford Lads Club.

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 M5 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

How Salford homes actually load

Blocks in this part of Salford run one goods lift and a timed bay. We book both at survey, and if the lift is out the quote already carries the stair-carry hours rather than adding them on the day. Crews run from Salford, so Ordsall and Pendleton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

Parking the van in M5

Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Salford City Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Booked here week to week

Jobs we run most often in Salford

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 Salford rather than starting from a blank form.

Crossing itemised

Salford 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. Booked most often on the M5 streets around Salford Lads Club.

One man and van, £45/hr

Part loads to an EU city from M5

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. Roughly 47,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

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 Salford. Local context matters here: l. s. lowry painted these streets; chapel street was one of the first gas-lit streets in the world, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Dedicated van

Job or study move out of Salford

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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

How it works in Salford

  1. Step 1

    Start with the property

    A few lines is enough to start: rooms, frequency and the Salford street you're on. Anything unusual — a shared stairwell, a key-safe, a dog — is better said up front than discovered on the day.

  2. Step 2

    Confirm the price

    The quote is fixed before anyone books time off work: labour, products and any extras listed separately, so you can cut the scope rather than the standard if the number is over budget.

  3. Step 3

    Choose your window

    Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Salford, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.

  4. Step 4

    We check it with you

    You get a finished-work check against the same list you agreed at the start — no vague "all done" message. Anything below standard is re-done at our cost.

European moves in Salford: local proof

Salford European move FAQs

  • How much does it cost to move from Salford to Paris?

    About 460 road miles door to door (277 to the terminal, 183 from Calais) and roughly 9.2 hours of driving. With the 1.5 hours of handling and the crossing included, that estimates at around £1,355 for one man and a van, or £1,570 for two movers and a van — typically 1–2 days. Salford City Council loading rules on the M5 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

    Link to this answer
  • What would Salford to Barcelona or Amsterdam cost?

    Barcelona is about 1103 miles and estimates at £2,900 solo or £3,370 with two movers (3–4 days). Amsterdam is far shorter at roughly 481 miles — around £1,405 or £1,625, usually 1–2 days. Salford City Council loading rules on the M5 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

    Link to this answer
  • How long does a European move in Salford usually take?

    Most M5 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 Salford or across to Ordsall.

    Link to this answer
  • Is there anything you cannot move out of Salford?

    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 — Ordsall customers usually clear those with the same booking. Local context matters here: l. s. lowry painted these streets; chapel street was one of the first gas-lit streets in the world, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

    Link to this answer
  • Is my load shared with other customers?

    Only if you book a part load and ask for it. The default on a European move is a dedicated van: the crew that loads in Greater Manchester drives the whole route and unloads at your address, so nothing is trans-shipped through a European depot. Booked most often on the M5 streets around Salford Lads Club.

    Link to this answer
  • Who 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Salford or across to Ordsall.

    Link to this answer
  • Can you handle the stairs and access in apartment blocks around Salford Lads Club and the Salford Museum & Art Gallery?

    Lift bookings and loading-bay slots decide the day here: we confirm the concierge window before the crew leaves the depot, and carry protection for lift cars and communal carpet as standard. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Salford City Council loading rules on the M5 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

    Link to this answer
  • Do I need a parking permit or bay suspension in Salford?

    Often, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M5 and M6 and M7 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. Local context matters here: l. s. lowry painted these streets; chapel street was one of the first gas-lit streets in the world, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

    Link to this answer
  • Is my move shared with other people's furniture?

    Not unless you choose a part load to save money. The standard European booking is a dedicated van, which is why delivery dates are firm rather than a two-week window. Booked most often on the M5 streets around Salford Lads Club.

    Link to this answer
  • How 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Salford or across to Ordsall.

    Link to this answer
  • Do you charge to get the van to Salford?

    No. Mileage is counted from your Salford door onwards, not from our base, so there is no charge to reach M5 or M6 or M7. Booked most often on the M5 streets around Salford Lads Club.

    Link to this answer
  • What 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. In Salford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.

    Link to this answer
  • What 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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

    Link to this answer
  • Can 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. Booked most often on the M5 streets around Salford Lads Club.

    Link to this answer
  • Are 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. Roughly 47,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

    Yes — Ordsall, Pendleton, Lower Broughton, Higher Broughton, Salford Quays and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page, sample routes and the same rate card. Roughly 47,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

Before you book

Why Salford customers book with us

Most complaints about removals in Salford come down to three things: the price changed, the crew was short, or nobody answered the phone. These are our commitments on all three.

Fixed before we start

Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M5 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.

If the chain slips

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.

Cover that actually applies

Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Salford European relocation, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.

Before you commit

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.

What else Salford customers need around the move

A move in Salford is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our Salford crews are asked for in the same week — clearing what is not worth transporting, packing, reinstating shelves and fixings, and getting both properties clean — each on its own page with its own pricing.

Four weeks before — book and confirm

  • Confirm the move date and slot for your Salford address in writing.
  • Book the van size against your property type — Terraces, 1960s tower blocks and a wall of new Chapel Street apartment schemes.
  • Check whether Salford City 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 Salford City Council permit or bay suspension (allow 5–10 working days).
  • Book the lift or service entrance if your building near Salford Lads Club and the Salford Museum & Art Gallery has one.
  • Redirect post and update your address on the M5 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 Salford City 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 Salford 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.

Salford local notes (M5, M6, M7)

  • Housing stock: Terraces, 1960s tower blocks and a wall of new Chapel Street apartment schemes.
  • Access landmark for the crew: Salford Lads Club and the Salford Museum & Art Gallery.
  • Council for permits and waste: Salford City Council.
  • Local context: A city in its own right — Chapel Street regeneration, the University campus and Victorian terraces west of the Irwell.
  • Busy times to avoid: school runs and events around: University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families.
