About full house removals uk to france
— in detail
Full-house removal is the bulk of what we do. A typical full-house move is a family home with the usual furniture, soft furnishings, kitchen equipment, books, and personal effects — plus whatever the loft and garage turn out to be hiding. Our crew loads in the UK, the destination team takes over at the French end, and the goods arrive at your French address with the inventory matched line by line against your survey notes.
The full-house quote covers door-to-door transit, customs paperwork at both ends (the UK export declaration and the French transfer-of-residence declaration to the douane), all-risks goods-in-transit insurance, and the destination handling for whichever French region you are heading to. Optional extras (full-pack, custom crates for fragile items, vehicle-and-piano specialist add-ons, climate-controlled storage either side) are itemised on the quote so you can see what each costs.
We do not pass the full-house move to mystery third parties. The team that comes to load is responsible for the journey; the destination team is briefed individually for your specific property and access situation. This is the difference between a route specialist and a generalist removals firm with a France brochure — this corridor is all we do, and the people at each end know each other.

Common questions
-
Volume (cubic metres of household goods), distance from UK origin to French destination, route specifics (Eurotunnel vs western ferry), access at both ends, and any optional extras (full-pack, custom crates, climate control, storage). The surveyor visits and the figure follows by email.
-
Loading: someone trusted at the UK property — usually the household. Delivery: someone authorised to receive the goods at the French address. Where one or both are not possible, the destination coordinator can sometimes accept the load against a documented authorisation; we discuss that case-by-case.
-
Common — French conveyancing is unpredictable. We hold goods at our partner depots in your destination region until the property is accessible. Storage charged separately, flexible duration.
-
Depends on volume, route, and customs. The written quote includes a likely transit window for your specific corridor.
-
Yes — rural Aquitaine, Provence, Brittany, Loire are routine corridors. Where access requires final-mile transfer to a smaller vehicle, we plan that at survey.

Start a quote How it actually runs
Nobody knows how much is in their house. That is not a criticism, it is just reliably true, and it is why a full-house job begins with a surveyor in the property rather than a form on a screen. Lofts, garages, the cupboard under the stairs, the shed nobody has opened since 2019 — all of it gets counted, because an under-counted house is how a move ends up with goods left on a drive.
What comes back is a single figure on paper: the drive, the douanes filing, the cover. On the day, the crew loads to a sequence taken from the inventory, last-on being first-off at the French end. That inventory travels with the load and is the document the destination team unloads against, which is the only reason anyone can say with confidence that everything that left has arrived.
