Our service
Three ways we lift.
Single item, partial load, or full van. Pick what fits the move.
Partial Load
Share the van, share the cost. Half-van bookings on routes already running. Cheaper than a full van. Transit window slips by a few days.
- Shared van on scheduled run
- Common for student returns
- Volume-based fixed price
Full Van — International
Whole van, your move only. Luton or LWB Sprinter depending on volume. Direct route, your dates, no shared scheduling.
- Luton or LWB Sprinter
- Direct route, your dates
- Two-man crew on request

What customers say
From the kitchen counter, the morning after.
Real London postcodes. Real moves. Real customers.
I had one Sprinter van of stuff and a deadline. Most firms wanted me to wait for a consolidation slot or pay full-corporate-removals rates. These guys gave me a fixed price the same day, turned up at the Camden flat at 7 am, drove direct, met me in Toulouse two days later. Customs already cleared. Boxes off the van, gone.
Marcus Bell Camden (NW1) Toulouse
Professional Quoted on Tuesday, loaded the Hackney flat on Friday, met us in Lucca a few days later. The strada bianca to the property was measured in advance — they'd arranged the smaller truck for the final mile. Italian-speaking guy briefed our condominio chair before we even landed. No drama.
Sarah & Tom Hartley Hackney (E8) Lucca, Tuscany
Couple I had a Brixton flat-worth of stuff to move to Estepona. Quoted me half what the corporate firms wanted. Two-man crew loaded everything in a morning, drove direct, met me in Estepona on the Friday. Spanish-speaking coordinator had briefed the comunidad president the day before. Walked into a clear flat with the orange tree already on the balcony.

Retiree Common questions
What customers ask first.
Cross-route questions. Country-specific paperwork — carte de séjour, codice fiscale, NIE, NIF — sits with each destination brief.
Read all questions-
Phone call. We take the basics — what you're moving, where to, roughly when. Quote follows the same day. Day-of-move: we turn up with a van, lift it, load it, drive it, deliver it. One crew, one van, you're moved. No middle-men, no sub-contractors.
-
A removals firm sub-contracts. Big trucks, depot consolidation, a different driver at every stage, packing teams that aren't the same as the loading teams. A man-and-van is one crew door-to-door. Cheaper for small or medium moves. Faster to book. The phone gets answered.
-
Yes — that's most of what we do. London to France, Italy, Spain, Portugal. Single van, direct route. Customs paperwork filed both ends. We've done partial loads to Provence, full van to Lisbon, a single sofa to Tuscany. All of it man-and-van scale.
-
Two sizes. Long-Wheelbase Sprinter (500–600 cu ft) for partial loads, single rooms, students. Luton (1,000–1,200 cu ft) for full flats and small houses. We measure at survey or over the phone — whichever fits, we use.
-
Four destinations: France, Italy, Spain, Portugal. We don't cover Germany, the Netherlands, the Nordics, or anywhere outside Europe. Staying narrow keeps the routes well-known. Origin: London — we collect from any London postcode.
-
Hourly for UK-only jobs. Fixed price for international moves — quoted up front from your inventory and route. International fixed prices are the standard offering. Hourly UK rates start at £49/hr for one man with the LWB van; £69/hr with two crew; Luton + two crew £99/hr. Each is itemised on the quote.
-
Yes. Partial loads are half-van bookings on routes we're already running. Cheaper than a full van. Transit window slips by a few days because we wait for the full van to fill. Common for students moving home from study abroad, single-room moves, and flat-share moves.
-
Yes. EORI registration with HMRC if you don't have one (free). ToR1 transfer-of-residence relief filed for you. Destination customs filings — French douanes, Italian dogane, Spanish aduanas, Portuguese alfândegas — handled at the entry point. You give us the inventory at survey; we file the rest.
