Direct Removals to Germany from Essex, East London & Kent

A direct removal means the crew will arrive at your home, wrap, pack and dismantle your furniture if required, carry out a full numbered inventory and then load the vehicle. We can then either hold in storage whilst paperwork is prepared, or leave straight away for Germany if all the documents are already in place. 

Just tell us the date you want your removal loaded, and we will give you the date and time of delivery. 

You will be provided with a guide to all the documentation that is required for Germany.

We offer direct removals and groupage deliveries to suit clients with varying budgets and loads. Direct removals is best for larger loads, delivering your possessions in a dedicated, individual lorry. If you have a smaller load, groupage may be the right choice. This cost-effective option includes your possessions in a carefully inventoried load of goods from a number of clients with a similar destination.

How groupage removals work

How long does it take?

The time it takes to transport a container from the UK to Germany will vary depending on market conditions and cargo line capacity.  We estimate the following approximate times for our door-to-door service.

Please note that these timings are indications only. Unexpected factors beyond our control can cause delay. Please get in touch for more details.

Whichever option you choose, the team will arrive and expertly dismantle, pack and load your possessions. The team will then drive to your new location before unloading in Germany, ensuring your goods are safe at every stage of the journey.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pack my own boxes?

You can pack your own boxes, although we advise you do not, shipping requires a different level of packing and a professional touch really is required. Plus, if we pack for you all the items will then be insured, if you pack yourself, an insurance company will not recognise your packing as ‘professional packing’, and will deem contents of boxes uninsured.

What measures are taken to ensure my items are safe?

Every single item of furniture is export wrapped, before it even leaves your home. If you are having a ‘part load’ service each and every item is put to a numbered inventory, which can be ticked off during unloading, and if you are having a ‘FCL’ service a full numbered inventory will still be taken, plus we will seal the back of the container with a customs seal.

Will my items be insured throughout the process?

Yes, we recommend everyone who ships takes us up on the offer of insurance throughout. The cost of this will be clearly detailed on you quotation.

What areas do you cover and where are you based?

Our offices are at Burnham on Crouch, Chelmsford and South Woodham Ferrers, and from these bases we move people from all over Essex, North Kent and East London to most destinations around the world. We specialise in Australia, the USA, New Zealand and Canada.

What is an FCL (Full Container Load)?

This is where you have sole use of a container, you will see the goods loaded to your container, and then you will see the same container unloaded at the other end.

What is a ‘part load’?

This is where you will share a container with other clients being moved to the same worldwide destination. At the other end, our agent will break down all the loads and deliver them all separately.

Can you move antiques and high value art?

We are moving high value items every day, all over the globe. All of our staff are trained in moving clocks, antiques, pianos, barometers and it is the norm for us. When the estimator visits he will note any items such as these that require special attention.

Why use our expert
