European moves · Greater London
European removals from London, borough by borough
From a Camden mansion flat to a Paris sixth floor, from a Wandsworth terrace to a Barcelona apartment — we load in London and unload on the continent with the same crew, on one published price. Loading in London is the hard part: the bay suspension, the lift booking, the width of the street. We plan that first, then drive.
- 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
European removals from London without the guesswork
London is where most of our European work starts, and London is where most European moves go wrong — not on the autoroute, but at 8am outside a terrace with no legal place to put a 7.5-tonne lorry. We book the bay suspension eight working days out where the borough demands it, size the vehicle to the street, and then price the run on the same national formula: £65 an hour of crew time plus £1.50 a road mile, plus the crossing and any overnight. A 2-bed from London to Paris is £945, and that number does not move because the lorry got stuck in Kentish Town.

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 people move abroad 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
European moving prices 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.
- Bay suspensions: most London boroughs need five to eight working days' notice and charge per day of bay.
- ULEZ and the Congestion Charge are quoted on the line, not added to the invoice afterwards.
- Lift-served blocks need a booked service-lift slot; porters in managed buildings often refuse an unbooked crew.
- Narrow Victorian stairwells decide whether a wardrobe travels assembled or dismantled — that is crew hours.
- Collection in the last week of the month competes with every other London move for the same crossing slots.

Questions
European moving questions answered properly
£65 an hour of crew time plus £1.50 a road mile, plus the crossing and any overnight. London to Amsterdam for a 2-bed is £1045 (355 road miles, same-day run). London to Berlin for the same home is £1690 (720 miles, one overnight).
All 33, plus the City. We hold bay-suspension accounts with the boroughs that use them and know which estates need an estate-management permit rather than a council one — Southwark, Tower Hamlets and Camden most often.
Our fleet is ULEZ compliant. Where a collection sits inside the Congestion Charge zone during charging hours, the charge appears as its own line on your quote at cost, so you can see it rather than wonder about it.
Yes — export packing is a published add-on. It matters more on a European run than a UK one: a carton that survives a 40-mile hop to Croydon is not the carton you want under load for 700 miles of autoroute.
We check that before quoting. Amsterdam canal houses get a hoist, Italian historic centres get a ZTL pass or a shuttle, Paris courtyards get a small van relay. Each is a published add-on, priced with the move rather than sprung on you at the door.

Absolutely brilliant company, we had bookings with two branches, Cleaning and Removals, both of whom provided impeccable service, helpful, clear and competent - I also found the general booking/quoting from the company very straightforward and helpful, adjustments were made in accordance with requirements in a timely and efficient manner.
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!
