The European arm
International removals from Uxbridge
When a move reaches beyond West London and the country, the same considered approach carries it from your Uxbridge door to the new one abroad — the route, the crossing, the customs and the careful unload. Four countries, framed the way you’ll search: from Uxbridge to there.
Removals from Uxbridge to Europe
We are an Uxbridge removals company first, but a considered share of our work leaves the UK entirely. Over the years we’ve loaded vans on UB8 streets bound for the south of France, driven households across the Alps into Italy, planned the well-travelled corridor down to the Spanish Costas, and made the long western route to Portugal. The care that goes into a move across Uxbridge is the same care that crosses the Channel — and it’s the same team, not a shipping firm you’ve never met.
Each route has its own character — its own crossings, its own drive, its own customs detail. So rather than one vague “international” page, we’ve written a proper guide for each:
Uxbridge to France
Paris, Lyon and the south — the short Channel crossing and onto the autoroute.
Uxbridge to Italy
Milan, Tuscany and the lakes — a considered road route over the Alps.
Uxbridge to Spain
The Costas, Valencia and Madrid — a well-planned corridor through France.
Uxbridge to Portugal
Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve — the long western route across France and Spain.
Pickup from Uxbridge — and across the UK
Most loads begin here in Uxbridge, with the M40 and M25 close at hand. But we don’t only serve the UB postcodes — when the route works, we collect from across the country: London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol and many towns between, folded into the same European run. If your move begins somewhere other than Uxbridge, simply say where when you get in touch.
Part loads and full loads
You needn’t fill a lorry to move abroad. If you’re taking a considered selection rather than a whole household, your belongings travel consolidated with other moves heading the same way — inventoried, protected and delivered to your door, at a share of the space. For a full home, a dedicated load keeps everything together from beginning to end. We’ll advise which suits once we know what’s moving.
Customs, handled
Since Brexit, moving household goods into the EU requires customs declarations on both sides, and for most people a transfer-of-residence claim that can relieve duty and VAT on your own used belongings. It’s the part that unsettles people most, and the part we take off their hands: we prepare the inventory and the transit and clearance paperwork, and set out precisely which documents to assemble for your destination.
Good to know
European removals — your questions
Which countries do you cover from Uxbridge?
Our European arm runs to four countries: France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Each has its own guide with the route, the customs steps and the regions we reach most.
Do you only pick up from Uxbridge?
Uxbridge is our home base and where most loads begin, but we collect from across London and the rest of the UK — from Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Bristol among others — when it fits the route.
Can I move just part of a household to Europe?
Yes. Part loads travel consolidated with other moves heading the same way, which keeps smaller European moves sensible. Everything is inventoried and protected to the same standard as a full load.
What about customs paperwork after Brexit?
Moving household goods into the EU now requires customs declarations on both sides, and usually a transfer-of-residence claim. We prepare the transit and clearance paperwork and set out precisely which documents to assemble.
How long do European moves take?
It depends on the country, the crossing and whether it’s a part or full load, so we don’t put day counts here. Your written quote includes an estimated delivery window for your route.
