European removals from Ealing
Moving abroad from Ealing is a bigger job than a cross-town move, but it runs on the same principles: a proper survey, an itemised quote, and one team who see it through. We move households by road to four countries.
Ealing sends a steady stream of people to the Continent — families chasing sun and space, professionals taking a posting, couples retiring somewhere warmer. What they have in common is the same worry: a long move, a border in the middle, and paperwork that changed after Brexit. Our job is to take all of that off your plate. We handle removals from Ealing to France, Italy, Spain and Portugal as road moves, with the customs side prepared before the lorry leaves W5.
Removals from Ealing to four countries
We keep our European coverage deliberately narrow so we know each route well. Pick the one you’re making and read how it works door to door:
Ealing to France
Paris, Lyon, the south — a road move planned end to end.

Milan, Rome, Tuscany and the lakes, customs handled.

Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, Madrid, Barcelona.
Read the route →Ealing to Portugal
Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve — a long haul, run properly.

Nearly every European move starts the same way: loaded in Ealing, out along the A40 Western Avenue or the A4 to join the M25, then down to the Kent coast for the Eurotunnel shuttle at Folkestone or a ferry from Dover. From Calais the routes fan out — south-west through France to Spain and Portugal, or south-east towards the Alps and Italy. Your things stay on the same lorry for the through-routes, which means less handling and fewer chances for something to go astray.
Collections beyond Ealing
Ealing is home, and it’s where most of our European moves begin — but the keyword surface for international moving is wide, and so are we. We collect across London routinely, and when a move is heading the same way we can arrange pickups from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol too. If you’re starting from one of those and moving to the same four countries, the process is identical: survey, quote, pack, road, customs, deliver.
Customs and paperwork, handled
Since Brexit a household move into the EU needs an inventory and the right transit and customs documents. We prepare them, file them, and keep them moving with the lorry so your belongings clear cleanly. There are no day counts to promise here — border timing depends on the route and the paperwork — but there’s no guesswork for you either. It’s in the quote and it’s handled.
European removals — common questions
Which countries do you move to from Ealing?
Four, and we run them properly rather than claiming the world: France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Each has its own page with the route, the customs and the practical detail for that move.
How does a European move actually work?
It’s a road move. We load in Ealing, run out via the A40 and A4 to the M25 and the Channel — the tunnel or a ferry — then drive on to the destination. Your things are surveyed, packed and inventoried here, and the customs paperwork is prepared before you leave.
Do you only collect from Ealing?
Ealing is our base, but we regularly collect from across London and can arrange pickups from further afield — Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Bristol among them — when a move is heading the same way.
What about customs since Brexit?
A household move to the EU now needs an inventory and transit and customs documents. We prepare and file them for you. Timing at the border depends on the route and the paperwork rather than a set schedule, and your quote explains what to expect.
Can you store things before or after the move?
Yes — storage on the UK side is common when people move abroad in stages. We can hold what you’re not taking yet, or keep everything until the overseas home is ready.
