European Removals from Surrey
Planning European removals from Surrey? Britannia Sandersteads runs regular road and sea routes across the continent from our base just off the M25 at Godstone — France, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland and beyond. We’re a family-run firm, established 1972, and we handle the survey, packing, customs paperwork and delivery end to end, so the only border you need to think about is your new garden fence. Free survey and no-obligation quote for any move to Europe from Surrey, South London, Kent or Berkshire.

European Removals from Surrey, Handled from Our Godstone Base
Every European move we run starts and finishes with our own people. Our depot at the Quarry Logistics Complex in Godstone sits minutes from the M25, A22 and A25, which keeps collection times short across Surrey and south London — from family houses to upper-floor flats. It’s what makes our European removals service in Surrey feel local rather than national.
We plan for the local access quirks too — narrow lanes and gravel drives out in the Surrey hills, conservation-area parking, and upper-floor flats with no lift — at the survey, not on the day. A surveyor (in person or by video) sizes up the volume, checks access at both ends and agrees your packing and storage plan; our own crew then wraps, loads and sees the move off — the same crew and standards as any house move we run.
Britannia Sandersteads has been family-run since 1972 and is part of the Britannia Cooperative, the UK’s largest network of independent, family-owned removers. We’re members of the British Association of Removers (BAR), we were named in the National Quality Awards in 2023 and 2024, and every job is crewed by our own full-time, trained staff — never agency labour. Because we run over 1,000 containerised storage units at the Godstone depot, we can hold your belongings securely before shipping if your dates don’t line up.
How Your European Move Works
Don't Take Our Word for It
What affects the cost of a European move from Surrey?
Volume, whether you need a dedicated vehicle or a shared part-load, your packing level, the destination and distance, any storage, and how fixed your delivery date is. We price from an actual survey, not a flat rate — so the quote reflects your move, not a guess.
How does the survey and quote process work?
It starts with a free video or in-home survey so we can see the volume and the access at your Surrey property. You then get a written, itemised quote covering transport, packing, customs paperwork and any storage, with nothing added later.
How long does a European move take?
It depends on the destination and service — nearby routes by road are quicker than longer or shared loads. We confirm realistic dates at survey; on a part-load, delivery runs to a window rather than a fixed day, and we won’t promise a date we can’t hold.
What packing and storage options do you offer?
A full pack, a part pack for fragile and high-value items, or materials only. If your dates don’t line up, your belongings can wait in our own containerised storage at Godstone before shipping — there’s no fixed minimum period.
What about access and parking at the Surrey end?
We check it at survey — narrow lanes, gravel drives, conservation-area restrictions, or an upper-floor flat with no lift. Where a suspension or a smaller shuttle vehicle is needed, we arrange it in advance rather than leaving it to move day.
Is my move insured, and who carries it out?
Cover for the journey is arranged as goods-in-transit insurance, confirmed on your quote. Your move is loaded by our own full-time, trained crew — not agency labour — and we stay your single point of contact through to delivery.
