Removals from the UK to France
The shortest hop to the Continent — collected anywhere in the UK, down to Dover or the Eurotunnel, then the French autoroutes to wherever you’re going.
UK motorways → Dover / Eurotunnel → Calais
The route
France is the most popular first move abroad, and the easiest to run from the UK. We collect from your address wherever you are in the country, bring the load down to the Kent coast, and cross from Dover or on the Eurotunnel shuttle to Calais. From there the French motorway network fans out — Paris a short leg on, Lyon and the Rhône valley a clean drive south, and Provence and the Riviera the long, sunlit tail of the trip.
People move to France for all sorts of reasons — a job in Paris, a slower life in the south-west, a farmhouse in the Dordogne, a place near the Mediterranean. Whatever yours, one team handles the whole thing: the same crew that loads your home in the UK is the crew that carries it into your new one in France. No relay, no handover to a haulier you never meet.
Since Brexit a French move means a proper customs declaration, and we keep that clear and calm. A transfer-of-residence relief covers your used household goods on a genuine move, filed against your French address and a detailed inventory. You handle the French registration and any carte de séjour; we handle the paperwork that carries your belongings across.
Where we deliver
Across France.
Paris & Île-de-France
Work and study moves. Apartment lifts and courtyard access set the plan at the French end — photos help us prepare.
Lyon & the Rhône
A steady favourite for professional relocations; easy motorway access once you’re south of Paris.
The Riviera & Provence
Lifestyle and second-home moves along the coast and the Provençal hinterland; hillside villa access worth flagging.
Bordeaux & the south-west
Wine-country and Dordogne farmhouse moves — rural lanes and turning space to plan for.
Brittany & Normandy
The nearest regions to Calais; popular for a first move abroad and a quick onward leg.
Customs, handled
No “sort it at the border.”
France is now outside the UK, so a move needs a customs declaration on both sides. We prepare the UK export side before the vehicle leaves and the French import side for arrival. Transfer-of-residence relief covers used household goods on a genuine change of residence, filed against your French address proof and a signed inventory. The French residency registration and any carte de séjour are yours to complete; our paperwork supports the customs relief.
Worth thinking about
Where in the UK we’re collecting from — we plan the route from your door to the coast, wherever you are in the country.
The French destination’s access — a Paris apartment lift or a rural lane may need a smaller vehicle for the final stretch.
Whether it’s a clean change of residence — the relief rests on a genuine move, and the address proof you can give shapes when the customs side closes.
