Battersea to France
France is the classic move out of SW11 — a Paris posting, a family swapping the school run between the commons for one near Lyon, a bolthole in the south that becomes the main house. We pack the Battersea home properly and carry it to the French door, paperwork and all.
Families relocating for work, couples buying into the countryside, professionals taking a Paris role — Battersea sends a steady stream of households across the Channel. Mansion-flat contents and family houses alike are packed to a standard that survives the drive, and labelled room by room so the far end makes sense the moment the van opens.
Post-Brexit, a move to France means a customs inventory and the right declaration for personal effects. We prepare the documentation with you, list your goods properly, and tell you what the French side will expect — well ahead of the crossing, not on the day.
We collect from your SW11 door — a fourth-floor mansion flat off Prince of Wales Drive, a family house on the Rise — cross by tunnel or ferry, and deliver to the French address. Transit timing depends on the route, the crossing and the delivery point; your written quote sets out the expected window once we have the details.
Often, yes — it is much of what we do in Battersea. Where the stairs won’t take a wardrobe or the load is high up, we plan the carry, use the right equipment, and where needed arrange an external lift. We would rather know the floor and the staircase when we quote than meet them on moving day.
Yes. Furnishing a French bolthole often means only a room or two, in which case your goods travel consolidated with other moves on the same route. A full relocation can take a dedicated load. We’ll recommend which suits your move when we quote.
Our base and our knowledge are in SW11, but the France corridor runs from right across London. Tell us the pickup address and we’ll factor it into the route.
