Removals to France from the UK
Transport and customs documentation for a one-bedroom part load from the UK to France cost £1,860 – £2,517, and for a three-bedroom house £4,104 – £5,639. Packing, transit cover, stairs, parking or a furniture hoist at either end, and collection from beyond our free collection area are priced on top, from your own answers. Transit is 2–6 days door to door.
Removals from the UK to France go by road through the Channel Tunnel or on the Dover ferry, then south on the autoroutes. What you pay follows the volume you move and how far you are going: Calais and Lille are our nearest destinations, Nice and Toulouse the furthest. Household goods you already own travel duty-free under transfer-of-residence relief.
