Removals to Portugal, door to door

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

  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.
