Established international movers
Alexander Removals relocates UK households across Europe — packed by hand, carried by our own crews, and accounted for at every stage. No guesswork, no inflated promises; just a move run the way a good firm has always run one.
Own crews
Directly employed, uniformed teams — no anonymous subcontractors at your door.
One coordinator
A single named contact who owns your move from survey to final placement.
Accounted for
Every carton and item inventoried in and out, both ends of the journey.
Established practice
Long-standing removals discipline, applied to modern European routes.
Three standards of handling
Every move is different, so we grade our service by how much of it you want in our hands — from a capable pair of crews to a fully managed, white-glove relocation.
You pack, we carry.
A trusted crew and the right vehicle for a straightforward relocation. You prepare the boxes; we handle the loading, the drive, the border and the unload — carefully and on the terms we agreed.
We pack, protect, place.
The whole move handled end to end while you carry on with life. Our teams wrap and box every room, transport it across Europe, and set it down where it belongs in the new home.
For the irreplaceable.
Bespoke crating and specialist handling for pianos, artwork, clocks, heirlooms and the pieces no quotation can really replace. Assessed individually, protected accordingly.
Storage, customs documentation and packing materials can be added to any standard. See the full service detail →
The Alexander Charter
A removals firm is only as good as its word. These are the standards we hold ourselves to on every move — the reason households come back to us, and send us their neighbours.
We look at the move properly before we quote it. No estimate is offered on guesswork, and nothing is added later that was not discussed with you first.
What is included, what is optional, and what could change the figure — all set down in writing you can actually read, not buried in conditions.
Directly employed, uniformed crews carry out your move. We do not hand your home to an anonymous subcontractor and hope for the best.
A full inventory is taken at collection and checked again at delivery, so what leaves one home is what arrives at the next.
A single coordinator owns your move from first survey to final placement — the same person, start to finish, wherever in Europe you are heading.
We give you an honest estimated window for your route and keep you informed as it firms up — rather than a promise we already know we cannot keep.
Given as our standing word to every household we move. — Alexander Removals
The route ledger
These are the routes we run most often, each with dedicated planning. They sit within a wider European network — ask about anywhere else and we will place your move on it.

How a move runs
We look at what is moving and where — in person or by video — and listen to what matters most to you about the move.
You receive a clear, itemised quotation setting out the handling standard, the route and everything included.
Our crews arrive prepared, protect your belongings to the agreed standard, and inventory everything as it loads.
Your load travels its planned corridor while we handle documentation and clearance behind the scenes.
Everything is checked against the inventory and set down where it belongs in your new home.
In our customers' words
Representative reviews from Alexander Removals customers.
We moved from a terrace in Bristol to an apartment outside Zurich, and I dreaded the customs side of it. Alexander just… handled it. Papers explained, crates labelled, one person who always answered the phone. It was the calmest big thing we have ever done.
My mother's piano and a wall of framed prints were the whole worry. The crew who came to survey actually knew how to talk about them. They built crates to fit. Everything arrived in Gothenburg exactly as it left.
Third move with them, second one abroad. You get used to a firm that does what it says. No inflated quote, no mystery charges at the end, the same coordinator I had last time. That is rarer than it should be.
Questions answered
Straight answers, before you commit to anything. If yours is not here, the full list covers more — or simply ask us directly.
It begins with a survey. Tell us where you are moving from and to, and roughly what is coming with you, and a move coordinator will arrange a proper look at the property — in person or by video, whichever suits. From that we prepare a written scope and a clear, itemised quotation, so there are no surprises later.
We relocate UK households right across Europe. We hold dedicated route knowledge for Ireland, Germany, Switzerland and Sweden, and we regularly move families to France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and beyond. If your destination is not listed, ask — the network almost certainly covers it.
Your quotation sets out the handling standard, the packing and protection included, the transport arrangement, and anything specialist your inventory calls for. It describes what is covered and what could affect the final figure, rather than hiding conditions in small print. Where a customs inventory is needed, that is prepared with you.
Transit time depends on the route, the customs clearance involved, and how your load is scheduled with other moves heading the same way. Rather than quote a figure we cannot promise, your written quotation includes an estimated window for your specific move, and your coordinator keeps you updated as it firms up.
Both are possible — it is the difference between our Essentials and Full-Managed standards. On Essentials you pack and we carry; on Full-Managed our crews pack, protect, transport and place everything for you. Fine and antique pieces are crated to a bespoke specification whichever standard you choose.
Tell us where you are heading. A move coordinator will arrange your survey and prepare a clear, written quotation — no obligation, no pressure.
