How Brexit will impact European Removals services
Recently, a report by The Confederation of British Industry established that no businesses based in the UK are ready for Brexit. Not to doubt the quality of this report and its findings, but at France Removals we were slightly surprised to read this – because we’ve been fully prepared for some time now!
Given that European Removals is our specialty, from the moment the UK voted to leave the EU we’ve been keeping constantly up to date with the ‘progress’, of the ongoing debacle that is Brexit. Constantly applying the conditions of Brexit to our own business, our removals experts will be ready to go from day one of the UK’s new relationship with Europe.
In fact, from the day Britain first leaves the EU, all EU Law will immediately become UK law, so nothing changes there. Plus, there is set to be at least a two year ‘transition period’, following the date of leaving, during which little will immediately change for us.
Naturally, the new immigration checks upon entering the EU will be the biggest difference we see, as providers of European Removals Services. However, we are already set to adapt the length of time we take to travel, in accordance with this small aspect of Britain leaving the EU. We will not be significantly affected by the expected blockages at EU ports, as we do not drive HGVs or transport goods for sale in Europe.
So, the end result is that we, at France Removals, will keep delivering the same, high quality removals service you’ve been used to for 15 years. We’re also proud to be both a European and a British company, and will continue to embrace the values of our wonderful, European neighbours for years to come.
Our vans will still be making weekly trips to France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and more, and everyone on mainland Europe will still receive the same, high quality service, unhindered and uninterrupted by Brexit. Over the years, we’ve always kept up to date with customs regulations in different countries, and will continue to do so when Britain leaves the EU.
We’ve never stopped looking for ways to improve what we do, for you, and will continue to do so long into the future, when Brexit is no more than a memory. To get in touch with our European Removals Services from anywhere in Europe, call +44 208 500 3314 today, or any time after Brexit – and our response will always be the same. We’ll do everything we can to make your move simple, stress-free, and cost-effective.

When we set out as a business, more than 15 years ago now, we’ve always sought to continuously adapt our services to suit the clients who make it what it is. So, it was only natural that we also became specialists in international shipping, from the UK to all over the world.
How it works
Whether we’ve collected items during the course of a removals project, or been sent them directly, we undertake a meticulous, professional process that’s focused on safety and efficiency. We crate items on site, if required, including furniture and large items, or otherwise choose the most appropriate, secure packing materials for your items.
Having already calculated the most effective transport method for your items, we’ll then personally deliver them to the right port or airport, where they will be securely shipped on. In countries like India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, and more, we have trusted, reliable local logistics experts who take your items on the last leg of their journey.
How your items can reach us
As above, you may ask us to ship an entire flat or household of items, when we come to complete the removal, but there are many other ways we can ship your items internationally too. You could, for instance, order something online, and organise for it to be sent to us, rather than pay a massive fee for international shipping yourself.
You can also get in touch to enquire about us collecting an item, too. As our vans are active all over the UK and Europe, week in, week out, we could send one of our friendly drivers to your address to collect an item, before bringing it to our London headquarters for shipping. This way, you’re not only saving money on the shipping itself, but also doing a little bit for the environment too.
After all, if our vans are on the way back from a removal or delivery, we might as well make use of all that space we have in the meantime – subsequently reducing the number of separate delivery vans on the road in the process. This is just one of the many positive aspects of our business, which is entirely dedicated to making your life easier, whenever moving home, or transporting and shipping items.
To find out more about organising worldwide international shipping from the UK, give us a call on 0208 500 3314, or +44 208 500 3314 from outside the UK.
