European Moving

European Moving

Moves to Europe require that little bit extra planning and preparation. Britannia's commitment to our customers is that we will combine the experience we have of European moving with our knowledge of the location you are moving to and tailor this around your specific needs. Britannia knows that only by paying attention to the finer details can we ensure the move meets our high standards.

Britannia recommends a visit from one of our Surveyors for all European moves. Our Surveyor will be able to assess the volume of goods you have to move, the packing requirements, route to delivery and discuss your move with you, so that you are comfortable with what is involved. Advice can also be offered on specific aspects of your move; timescales, transport of unusual items, pets and so on.

By meeting these objectives, Britannia can ensure that on the day of the move, our customers are prepared for the big day. With a comprehensive list of optional services such as export wrapping and insurance services, Britannia goes that bit further to make all the difference to the success of your European move.
