Approximate Part Load Costs

A single item from Southern England to:

A part load of 600 cu ft (enough to furnish a 2 bedroom gîte) from Southern England to:

A part load of 1000 cu ft (contents of a small 3 bedroom house) from Southern England to:

We have varying sizes of vehicles ranging from 1000 cu ft capacity to 2900 cu ft capacity.

It is not always necessary to send a representative to view a part load – many people prefer to compile their own lists or complete a contents list to post, fax or email.

A full load from southern England, including packing to:

Boxes can be purchased and collected from our warehouse in Salisbury for customers who prefer to do their own packing.

A visit to the property by one of our representatives at least four weeks prior to the removal date will be required in order to assess the quantity and to discuss the removal in detail.

There is often a requirement for interim storage when moving to Europe. Many people sell their home in the UK, and place their furniture in store whilst they search for a new home.

We have storage facilities available at our purpose built container warehouse in Salisbury.

If storage is required, a vehicle loaded with empty containers is sent to your UK property and your furniture and effects are loaded directly into the containers. If this is not possible due to access problems with the larger vehicles, smaller vehicles are used and loaded conventionally. Once back at the warehouse the goods are packed into storage containers.

The containers are made of wood and have internal dimensions of 7 feet x 7 feet x 5 feet, totalling 245 cubic feet. Five containers fit into the largest vehicle, with an additional two in the trailer if required.

In general, a four bed-roomed household will require between 5 and 8 containers.

When the goods are removed to Europe, unless specially requested, the contents of the containers are emptied and loaded conventionally into the removal vehicle. This is because 40% of the volume of the vehicle is wasted if containers are used, necessitating the use and extra expense of a second vehicle.

The rental for storage containers is £12.50 + VAT per week per container.

The approximate cost of a removal involving storage would be an additional £750 + VAT for a full load of 8 containers. This covers the extra handling and loading. There would also be a charge of £100.00 + VAT per week for rental space.
