Our dedicated team of professionals is committed to making your move as seamless and stress-free as possible.
Detailed Pre-Move Planning
Effective planning is the cornerstone of a successful international move. We start by conducting a thorough assessment of your moving needs. Our experienced moving consultants will visit your home to evaluate the volume of your belongings, identify any special requirements for international transit, and discuss your preferences. Based on this assessment, we create a customized moving plan that includes a detailed timeline, packing strategy, and van-based transportation logistics across borders.
We also provide valuable tips and advice on how to prepare for your international move. This includes guidance on decluttering, organizing your belongings, navigating customs regulations, and planning the layout of your new home abroad. Our goal is to ensure that you are well-prepared and confident on moving day.
Safe and Efficient Loading and Transportation
On moving day, our team arrives punctually and ready to work. We use modern equipment and techniques to load your belongings safely and efficiently into our specialised vans. Our vehicles are equipped with the necessary tools to handle any moving challenge, including ramps, dollies, and protective padding, ensuring safe transit across international routes.
We take extra care to ensure that all items are securely loaded and protected during transportation. Our drivers are experienced and skilled in navigating international routes and border crossings, ensuring that your belongings arrive at your new home in perfect condition.
Unloading and Unpacking Services
Upon arrival at your new international home, our team will carefully unload your belongings from the van and place them in the designated rooms. We follow the layout plan you provided during the pre-move planning phase, making the process as organised and efficient as possible.
If you opt for our unpacking services, we will assist you in unpacking and setting up your new home abroad. Our team will help you arrange furniture, assemble items, and remove all packing materials, leaving your new home clean and ready for you to settle in.

Expert Export Packing and Crating
The most critical difference in an international move is the packing. Standard packing materials are not enough to withstand the stresses of global transit. Our experienced team uses professional export packing techniques, ensuring your goods are protected for a long journey by sea, air, or road.
Materials: We use heavy-duty, multi-layered packing materials, specialised cartons, and reinforced tape.

Inventory: A detailed inventory is created and matched with the packing list for customs purposes, protecting your possessions throughout the removal process.

Customs Clearance: Our network of trusted agents manages the customs clearance process at the destination port, ensuring your goods are released promptly.
Regulations: We stay up-to-date with changing international regulations to advise you on any restricted or prohibited items.
Route and Logistics Specifics

Shipping Options: We offer Full Container Load (FCL) for larger moves, giving you exclusive use of a container, or Less than Container Load (LCL) for smaller moves, where your items share space to keep competitive prices.

How are international removals priced, and what is included in the removals quote?
The price for International Removals depends primarily on the volume (size) of your shipment, the destination country, and the chosen method of transport (air freight is faster but more expensive than sea freight). Our comprehensive removals quote includes professional export packing, road transport to the UK port, ocean or air freight charges, port handling, customs documentation assistance, and final delivery to your new home overseas. We provide competitive prices and a detailed breakdown with no hidden fees.
Can Next Step Removals help with international moves that require temporary storage?
Yes, we frequently assist customers who require temporary storage between moving out of their existing home and moving into their new property overseas. We offer both short-term and long-term storage options in secure, monitored storage facilities here in the UK prior to shipping. We can also arrange for storage solutions at your destination through our trusted global partners, simplifying your transition.
What is the transit time for shipping my belongings overseas?
Transit times vary significantly based on the destination and the shipping method. Air freight is the fastest option, often taking 1-2 weeks. Sea freight is the most common and cost-effective, typically taking 4-8 weeks to major international ports, plus additional time for customs clearance and final delivery. During your initial consultation, we will provide an accurate timeline estimate based on your specific route and destination.
What level of insurance coverage is provided for my international move?
For international moves, full insurance cover is crucial. We offer comprehensive insurance packages that protect your belongings against total loss, damage, or theft during packing, transit, and delivery. As part of our professional service, we will discuss the various coverage options with you, based on the declared value of your goods, to ensure you have complete peace of mind throughout the entire journey.
