How it works
How european removals works in Raynes Park
Five steps, the same on every SW20 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Raynes Park stock goes, and with 35% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Video survey
A walk-through call fixes the inventory and the van size, so the crossing is booked against a real volume.
Step 2
Itemised written quote
Crew hours, road miles, crossing, tolls and overnights on separate lines — no single opaque figure.
Step 3
Pack and load
Export-grade cartons and edge protection, because a European run is days of road vibration, not an hour across town.
Step 4
Drive and update
The same crew drives the load; you get progress updates and a delivery window as the run progresses.
Step 5
Deliver and place
Furniture placed room by room at the destination, cartons unpacked if that was booked, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Why Raynes Park customers book us
What follows is specific to Raynes Park: its walls, its access and the paperwork Merton agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Raynes Park (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Raynes Park walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — measured on the walk in from Raynes Park (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in SW20, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,570 households inside the SW20 neighbourhood.
Insured and documented
Goods in transit and public liability cover run for the whole journey, and the written inventory doubles as the customs list required at the border.
Fixed prices
European removals prices in Raynes Park
Fixed prices for SW20 and the rest of Merton. Volume, distance and overnights. A northern-France run is one crossing and one overnight; Spain or Italy is a second driver rest period and double the road miles.

|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed to France or Belgium | £745 | 2–3 days | A part load on a shared Luton, crossing and one overnight included. |
| Two-bed to Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam | £945 | 2–3 days | Dedicated van, two crew, the crossing and one driver overnight. |
| Two-bed to Germany, Spain or Italy | £1,650 | 3–5 days | Road miles and a second overnight are what separate this from a northern-France run. |
| Three-bed dedicated van | £2,150 | 3–6 days | Full Luton, two crew for the whole journey, loading and delivery days at both ends. |
| Part load, per cubic metre | £95 | By schedule | Shared space on a van already running the route — the cheapest option if the date can flex. |
| Crew and mileage rate | £65/hr + £1.50/mile | Itemised | How every bespoke quote is built, so you can see what the crossing and the miles cost. |

Owner-occupation runs at 51% in Raynes Park, so alongside the 35% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — measured on the walk in from Raynes Park (South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Raynes Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,570 households inside the SW20 neighbourhood.
