Removals to the UK from Europe
Our removals team is continually on the move between Europe and the UK, and we don't like to bring our trucks back empty. Whether you're coming home or starting a new life in the UK, we can help make it a cost-effective reality.
Our European experts will discuss your move plan and check access to ensure your relocation goes smoothly. You will be kept fully informed of final schedules. We are experienced in providing outside hoists, shuttle vans and parking permits where required.
We can even store your furniture and belongings in our UK warehouses until you're ready to have them delivered to your new home.
Cost-effective removals to the UK
Using Britannia Bradshaw is often a very cost-effective solution over local firms in Europe and you don't need to fill up our entire removals van. We are happy to take small loads and part loads.
Importing personal belongings to the UK
Shipments of household goods and personal effects are allowed duty free entry into the UK, provided that they have been owned and used for at least six months prior to importation.
It is possible to have your goods cleared by customs before you arrive in the UK, providing they do not arrive more than six months before your own arrival and that all necessary documents are completed correctly and received by Britannia Bradshaw in advance of the shipment.
Assistance will be given to help you with customs formalities, and we will provide you with the correct customs form to complete and return before the arrival of your goods in the UK.
Removals to or from Europe, EU, and Brexit
If you're moving from Europe or an EU country - or moving to Europe and the EU to the UK - you probably have questions regarding the transport and importing of your belongings to your new country.
The transition period
During the transition period (scheduled to end on 31 December 2020), there are currently no changes to the free movement of people and goods between the European Union and the United Kingdom.
Should the United Kingdom decide to end the transition period early, requirements and processes may change. We will update our customers if circumstances and regulations change.
Moving Motor Vehicles to the UK
Beginning 15 April 2013, for all vehicles (both new and used) entering the UK for permanent use on UK roads you must notify HMRC within 14 days and any VAT due must be paid or accounted for. This new system is called the Notification of New Vehicle Arrivals (NOVA).
You will not be able to register and license your vehicle(s) with DVLA or DVA until you have received confirmation from HMRC that your notification has been processed and any VAT due has been paid.
We will be glad to assist you with moving your vehicle to the UK. For more information on importing your vehicle, please visit the HMRC website.

​They gave a thorough quote so we knew exactly what we were going to pay
Do you have any comments about our removals crew?
They were excellent
Where can we improve our removals day experience?
Everything was perfect apart from the fact I had labelled all boxes top and side and the removal men didn’t stack the boxes in the garage with the labels facing. This meant that we had to turn each box around to see what number it was.

Quick, friendly, polite, efficient
Just to let you know that everything went well today. Paul and Luke were absolutely great. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were quick, friendly, polite, efficient. They were very careful in their work. The company should be proud to have them working for it, and you too Jacki. I would definitely recommend the company because of all of you,and not to forget Martin too.
I hope all the employees in the company are like you four (Paul, Lucas, Jacki, Martin).
Thank you very much
YasminReally pleasant hard working and accommodating team in all aspects.
Do you have any comments about our removals crew?
Tony, Tom, James, Nick, Paul and Sonic did a brilliant job during both trying and vexing work. From manhandling a large stone table to delivery over four floors they were resourceful, cheerful, friendly and professional. When asked to do the near impossible they did not complain and got on with the job without question.
A great team that should be valued.
Where can we improve our removals day experience?
Communication with us on the first day to explain a trailer coupling problem causing a late start would have helped.

Do you have any comments about our removals crew?
I have to say, Lee was everything I would have hoped for as the crew boss for the team. He was incredible. Patient, knowlegeable and an all round lovely person. Calum, who helped him for both days was brilliant as well. Please please pass on my thanks to them both, I would want them on any future house move I undertook again.
