European moves · UK to Ireland
Removals to Ireland, door to door
460 road miles from London to Dublin, over the holyhead to dublin ferry, in 2 days with 1 driver overnight. One crew, one lorry, one price that includes the crossing, the inventory and the customs declaration.
- One published formula: crew hours, road miles, crossing, overnights
- One crew loads in the UK and unloads at the far end — no depot transfer
- Customs inventory prepared and filed by us, not left to you
- Goods-in-transit and public liability insured across every country we enter
The service
Moving to Ireland without the guesswork
Moving to Ireland is a 2-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 £300 for the holyhead to dublin ferry, plus 1 × £100 overnight — so a 2-bed home to Dublin is £1350 and a 3-bed is £1480. Post-Brexit, GB-to-Ireland moves need a customs declaration and a transfer-of-residence claim even though the goods are used. We file it; you sign it.

How it works
Four steps and a price that holds
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.
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.
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.
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 Ireland 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 Ireland 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 Dublin: Dublin's Georgian terraces off the canals have tight double-parking and clearway hours on the main routes, so we load early or after the evening restriction. Ferry sailings are the fixed point of the day — missing one costs a whole day, so we build the loading time backwards from the booked crossing.
- Volume, not bedrooms — most Ireland jobs we run are Whole-house moves and returning families; furniture-heavy, often with garden equipment.
- The route: M40/M54 to Holyhead, Irish Sea ferry to Dublin Port, N-roads onward. Trunk tolls are inside the mileage rate; alpine or estuary tunnels are itemised.
- Paperwork: Post-Brexit, GB-to-Ireland moves need a customs declaration and a transfer-of-residence claim even though the goods are used. We file it; you sign it.
- Timing: crossings price up sharply in July, August and the fortnight before Christmas — book four weeks out where you can.

Access in Dublin
Dublin's Georgian terraces off the canals have tight double-parking and clearway hours on the main routes, so we load early or after the evening restriction.

Post-Brexit, GB-to-Ireland moves need a customs declaration and a transfer-of-residence claim even though the goods are used. We file it; you sign it.
The route we drive

Questions
European moving questions answered properly
A 2-bed household from London to Dublin is £1350, and a 3-bed is £1480. That is £65 an hour of crew time plus £1.50 a road mile over 460 road miles, plus £300 for the holyhead to dublin ferry, plus 1 × £100 driver overnight. A part load or single room starts at £1220.
2 days door to door on the standard route: M40/M54 to Holyhead, Irish Sea ferry to Dublin Port, N-roads onward. Drivers' hours rules cap the day at nine driving hours, so the run includes 1 overnight stop rather than a rushed final leg.

Yes. A single room or a few pieces of furniture is priced at £1220 on the same formula — two crew hours rather than four — so a small consignment is not billed at whole-house rates.
Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Belfast, plus anywhere on the route between them. Mileage is measured to your actual address, so a delivery beyond Dublin simply adds road miles at £1.50 each rather than triggering a new tariff.
