Europe from Margate
Removals from Margate to Europe
Leaving the coast for the Continent? Margate has an honest head start — Dover and the Eurotunnel are just along the Kent coast. We move homes and businesses to France, Spain, Italy and Portugal, with the customs side handled.
One quiet advantage of moving from Margate is where it sits. The Kent coast is close to the Channel — Dover for the ferry, Folkestone for the Eurotunnel — so a European move from Margate does not start with a long slog just to reach the crossing. From the town it is the A299 (Thanet Way) and the M2, or the M20, down to the coast and over. We handle uk to france removals, moving from uk to spain, and moves to Italy and Portugal as planned road jobs.
Whether it is a home or a small business, your load travels either on its own vehicle or shared with other consignments on the same corridor — your quote sets out which suits your volume and timing. And while Margate is our base, we collect from across the region: London, Canterbury, Ashford and the wider Kent coast among the origins we consolidate from.

Route & customsCustoms & paperwork, handled
Since the UK left the EU, moving your belongings to the Continent means a customs declaration and a detailed inventory, plus transit documents for the crossing. For used household effects there are reliefs you may qualify for as someone transferring residence. We prepare the declarations, explain what you need to provide, and manage the border side so your goods do not sit waiting — you will not be handed a stack of forms and left to it.
The dedicated country pages go into the route, the destination regions and the paperwork in detail — start with Margate to France or Margate to Spain. Moving within the UK instead? See house removals and our full services.
Europe FAQs
European removals from Margate — questions
Do you move homes and businesses from Margate to Europe?
Both. We run European removals from Margate for households relocating abroad and for smaller commercial moves. Larger consignments travel as a dedicated load; smaller ones share a vehicle with other moves on the same route.
Is Margate a good starting point for a European move?
Honestly, yes — the Kent coast has a head start. Dover and the Eurotunnel at Folkestone are just along the coast, so the crossing is a short hop rather than a long haul to reach, before the drive on the far side begins.
What happens with customs now the UK has left the EU?
A move to the EU needs a customs declaration and a detailed inventory of your goods, and for used household effects there are reliefs you may qualify for when transferring residence. We prepare the paperwork, tell you what to provide, and manage the transit documents so your goods clear the border cleanly.
How long will a European move take?
It depends on the destination, the crossing, customs clearance and whether you have a dedicated or shared load. Your written quote gives an estimated window for your specific route rather than a blanket promise.
