Cross-route 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.

Yes. Goods-in-transit cover on every move, underwritten by an established UK marine insurer. All-risks cover available for fragile, high-value, or art items — flagged at survey. The certificate of insurance comes attached to the quote.

Yes. Member of the British Association of Removers, Overseas Group. Code of conduct, formal dispute resolution, advance-payment protection on the deposit. Most man-and-van operators aren't BAR-registered. We are.

Over a decade on the road. London-based depot, four destination corridors built up over the same period.

Depends on route, your volume, and the customs queue on the day. The written quote includes a likely window. Single-direct full van: typically a few days from collection to delivery. Partial loads: longer because we wait for the van to fill on the run.

Yes. Any London postcode — Z1 to Z6 — and the immediate adjacencies (Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey, Kent on request). The depot sits in central/north London; we cover greater London on the day.

Yes. International conveyancing rarely runs to plan. We hold goods at a partner depot at the destination until you have access. Storage is charged separately, flexible duration.

Storage is available at the London depot and at all four destination depots. Charged separately. We'd rather hold the load than push a delivery the destination isn't ready for.

Sign the quote, pay the deposit. Booking is confirmed. The balance is due before the van leaves London. Booking sits inside our standard BAR Overseas Group terms.
