Willesden → Europe
European removals from Willesden
When a move carries on past the coast, so do we. Household removals that leave from NW10 to four European countries — planned as a route pair, from your Willesden door to the new address abroad.
A European move is really two moves stitched together: the careful London part — packing a flat in Willesden Green or a house up in Dollis Hill — and the long road part that follows, down to the Channel and on across the Continent. We keep both in the same hands. One team surveys and packs your home, loads the van, and stays with the move to the far end, so nothing is handed to a stranger at a depot halfway there.
Most of our European work runs by road, and Willesden is well placed for it. You’re quickly onto the North Circular (A406) and the A5 Edgware Road, round to the M25 and down to Dover or the Eurotunnel at Folkestone, then onto the Continental motorways to your destination. It’s a route we plan properly — crossings, driving hours, where a consolidated load joins others heading the same way — rather than something we improvise on the day.
Willesden is home ground, but the corridors we run also pick up along the way. If your move begins near London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Glasgow or Edinburgh, it can join the same route abroad — useful for families who’ve already part-moved, or who are leaving from another city rather than NW10.

Since Brexit, moving a home into the EU means customs — and that’s exactly the part we take off your hands. For personal belongings going to a new main residence there’s a recognised relief, and the process runs on an itemised inventory plus the transit and customs documents that carry your goods across the border. We prepare that paperwork with you as part of the move, explain what you need to sign and why, and route the load through the crossing points correctly. You won’t be left working out a customs form at a French péage.
Timing depends on the route, the crossing and whether your goods travel as a dedicated or a shared load — your written quote sets out an estimated window rather than a promise we can’t keep. What stays constant is the care: the same wrapping, the same inventory and the same team, from a Willesden hallway to a home in France, Italy, Spain or Portugal.
