International removals from Chelsea

International removals from Chelsea are a natural extension of the prime work. A family home moving to the Continent, a second residence being furnished, a collection of fine furniture and art travelling abroad — a move like this needs more than a van. It needs white-glove packing, bespoke crating for the delicate pieces, an inventory, customs paperwork and a considered road route. We pack in Chelsea, load, and run out towards the M25 and the Channel, crossing at Dover or by the Eurotunnel at Folkestone before driving on to the door.

Where we move from Chelsea

We run considered European routes to four countries, each framed as a move from Chelsea to the destination — removals from Chelsea to France, Spain, Italy and Portugal. Every one has its own page setting out the route, the regions we reach and how the paperwork is handled:

• Removals from Chelsea to France — Paris, Normandy and the south — out on the A4 or across to the M25, a crossing at Dover or the Eurotunnel at Folkestone, then onto the autoroutes.
• Removals from Chelsea to Spain — Madrid, Barcelona and the Costas — the long run down through France to the border at La Jonquera, then on to the coast.
• Removals from Chelsea to Italy — Milan, Florence and Rome — a considered road move down through France and over the Alps by the Fréjus or Mont Blanc tunnel.
• Removals from Chelsea to Portugal — Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve — the Atlantic corridor across France and Spain to the far south-west.

Not only Chelsea — pickups across the UK

Chelsea is our base, but a move abroad may involve more than one collection — a second London home, or belongings held elsewhere in the country. As well as SW3 and SW10 we collect across London and, where it suits the route, from London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh. Additional collections are built into the plan rather than left to you to arrange.

Customs and paperwork after Brexit

A move to an EU country now requires a customs declaration and a full inventory, and used household effects can usually come in under transfer-of-residence relief when you are moving your main home and the paperwork is right. We prepare the declaration and the transit documents, tell you exactly what to sign and supply, and manage the border so your belongings are not left waiting.

Fine pieces, properly protected

Antiques, artwork and fine furniture are crated to measure for the journey and handled by people trained to move them, with a condition-checked inventory throughout. Where dates do not align, secure storage in Chelsea bridges the gap before the load runs. It is, in every particular, a prime move — conducted across the Channel rather than across the borough.
