Is a move to the Netherlands still a customs job?
Yes. Since the UK left the EU, household goods entering the Netherlands are a customs movement. Most household moves qualify for Transfer-of-Residence relief, which is a formal process with conditions rather than an automatic exemption — we prepare the file from the survey inventory and tell you at the start which documents have to come from you.
Channel crossing or North Sea ferry?
Both are used. A Short Strait crossing from Dover or Folkestone and a run up through Belgium suits most loads; a North Sea sailing from Harwich or Hull puts the vehicle into the Netherlands directly and sometimes suits a northern collection better. It is a scheduling decision, and we tell you which applies.
Do you collect outside London?
Anywhere in Britain. We are a route specialist rather than a town firm, so collections from Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow or Edinburgh are ordinary work — where you are affects the schedule, not the service.
Will a lorry reach a Dutch address?
In most of the country, yes. The exceptions are canal-side streets in the older centres, some Amsterdam addresses with narrow frontages and stairs that were never built for furniture, and a few pedestrianised cores. All are workable with planning, and none are workable as a surprise.
What about the famous Amsterdam staircases?
They are a real constraint, not a joke. Many older canal houses have stairs too steep and too narrow for furniture, and the building's own hoist beam or an external lift is the normal answer. We establish which applies before the vehicle leaves Britain.
