Get a quote for international removals to Europe from the UK with Simpsons – a leading European removal company
If you are moving to other countries in Europe from the UK and looking for a cost-effective method to transport your furniture and belongings then we can help!
Simpsons have been helping people move houses to Europe for many years. Our team specialise in international and European removals so we know how to take care of everything to make your home removal easy and stress-free.
When moving house to Europe your belongings are usually transported by road freight. This could be a dedicated removals van but more usually a shared van for smaller moves to Europe. We don’t usually use your typical removal van but a larger European road train which allows you to save money through economies of scale.
We offer a door-to-door service so our packers will export wrap your household contents and deliver to your new home in Europe.
To discuss your requirements, no matter how large or small, we recommend you complete the quote form and we’ll be in touch to answer all your questions.

Moving to European destinations is made easy with Simpsons International Removals
Your move to Europe
Our dedicated load service offers the freedom of a specific date for the goods to be removed from your current premises and, subject only to driving hours restrictions, delivered directly to your new home in Europe. You will have the peace of mind of seeing your goods loaded safely, and leave to travel directly to your new home – allowing you to see the vehicle arriving and unloaded.
This service can also incorporate a period of storage, should it become necessary, and as with all our services, you may opt for a full or part packing service when you are moving house in Europe.
If your consignment is not time sensitive, or you are simply working to a budget, then our part load service will be the obvious choice. Whilst still offering a fixed date collection for your goods and a packing service option, this cost-saving service still provides first class services to all popular destinations for removals in Europe.
If you are looking to move large household goods in Europe, our full load removal services are recommended.

Removals to Europe FAQ Guide & Moving to the EU Checklist
Removals to Europe Cost
The cost of your removal to Europe depends on a number of factors including where in the UK you are moving from and what European country you plan to move to.
Naturally the cost also depends on how much you are taking – the price per cubic foot drops significantly as your volume increases.
However, as a large number of people move from the UK to Europe every year, the cost may be much less than you think when you consider the distances involved from say London to the Costa Del Sol, Paris or Cyprus.
Transportation by road freight to mainland destinations in Europe usually takes around 2-4 weeks for a dedicated service or 4-8 weeks for a shared / part load service.
We undertake household removals and shipping from every part of the UK and Ireland to almost anywhere in Europe.
Some of the popular Eurpean countries we do removals to include:
- Italy
- Luxemburg
- Malta
- Monaco
- Netherlands (Holland)
- North Macedonia
- Northern Ireland
- Norway
- Portugal
- Spain
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- UK
Insurance for your Move to Europe
We would recommend taking out Shipment Protection Cover for peace of mind whilst your belongings are on their journey.
Whilst we have expert packers who specialise in international removals and use accredited shipping lines who take special care of your personal belongings, we cannot control every eventuality.
Just as you will likely have home contents insurance in the UK and travel insurance for your family, we recommend you discuss with your Move Manager the available options for protecting your belongings whist they are in transit.
We have a variety of house removal and shipping services depending on your relocation needs. So no matter whether you are just shipping a few boxes to Europe or moving your entire house contents, we have a cost effective solution for you.
Dedicated removals service
If you are undertaking a large house removal to Europe then our dedicated removal service will suit you. You will be allocated your own dedicated removal van and packing team to take all your furniture and other goods from your home in the UK to your new home in Europe.
Small removals to Europe (part or shared load)
If you don’t have much stuff to take with you to Europe, then our shared load removal service is ideal.
We regularly transport people’s household belongings and furniture on a ‘European road train’. to all parts of Europe including France, Germany, Portugal and of course Spain.
This furniture removals service is our most popular as the cost is shared amongst other customers moving to the same area of Europe. In fact, it’s usually cheaper than ‘man and van’ type removals service and your belongings are certainly a lot safer!
Box shipping service for cheap removals to Europe
All our shipping options are cost effective but if you only have a few boxes to send to Europe then our Excess Baggage or box shipping will likely be your cheapest option.
At Simpsons we are big enough to offer a friendly service, but large enough to have a very experienced team and economies of scale.
Although there are many removals companies that transport belongings to Europe, few like Simpsons specialise solely in international removals.
Not only do we do house removals to Europe and the EU but also removals worldwide.
International Removals to the Balearic Islands and Canary Islands
We can also help with moving to European islands including Corsica, the Balearics, the Azores and Canaries.
For this service we use our overseas shipping service including a full (sole use) or part load (shared) shipping container.
At Simpsons International Removals we specialise in shipping and household removals worldwide so our teams are very experienced in export packing and container shipping to overseas island destinations.
Moving from Ireland to Europe
We are now also able to undertake removals from all parts of Ireland to Europe including both Belfast and Dublin. Please contact us for more details and a quote.
We not only do removals from London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool to Europe, but from all parts of England.
We have teams serving Cardiff and Wales to Europe as well as from all over Scotland (not just Edinburgh and Glasgow) to Europe too.
Although Simpsons will take care of all the details they can for you, this convenient checklist will make preparing for the move as simple and worry free as possible.
Moving out: Before the removal men arrive, be clear in what they are contracted to do and what you are expected to do. If in doubt, ask the surveyor or a member of our staff. Ordinarily, both householder and the removal men have fairly defined responsibilities (though a measure of flexibility on both sides is of course desirable)
Children: Children, who are naturally curious and can easily get in the way, may potentially be injured. The younger ones are best left with a neighbour or friend until it is time to leave.
Swings/Climbing frames: Generally dismantling these is one job you will do yourself, but be careful not to lose the bolts. If wish us to arrange dismantling please discuss this with our surveyor
Garage/Shed: Tie together garden tools, and prepare items to be lifted straight onto the vehicle.
Self assembly furniture: If you have any furniture of the home assembly type particularly if made of chipboard, please note that we recommend dismantling units before the move, as the joints are seldom strong enough to survive even careful handling if the furniture is moved whilst still assembled.
Washing machines: Secure your washing machine drum, and disconnect from water supply and electric.
Books: Books are very heavy, use our book cartons as they are smaller and easier to manage.
China & glass: Wrap each item individually in packing paper or bubble wrap, packing the heavier items first with lighter pieces on top. Remember that plates and dishes are packed vertically and not laid flat.
Moving in: Make sure that you (or some other responsible person) is on hand to admit the removal men. If no-one is there and a reasonable waiting time expires, you could find yourself landed with storage and re-delivery charges. Enquire how long the vehicle will wait should you be inadvertently delayed on the way. It can also save time and confusion if you stand at the entrance and specify the location of each item as it is carried in.
Helping the move along: If you follow the guidelines suggested on this page you will find the removal men themselves responding to your good sense with extra efficiency and relaxed good humour. You can also help the move along by remembering to pack the kettle last. A cup of tea all round is a gesture always much appreciated.
Tipping: There is, of course, no obligation to tip the men, but, as with all personal services, people like to reward extra attention, willing good humour or a job well done. If you feel that a reward has been earned, the driver or packer in charge will distribute any gratuity given amongst the crew.
