European Removals

Door to Door with the Utmost Care.

Seamless European removals tailored to your needs – reliable, efficient, and stress-free. Hackworthy & Sons offer a whole range of international removal services for clients looking to move across the Continent.

Whether you are moving to France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy or beyond, we are able to offer a range of European removals services to meet the budget and timescales for your move.

Exclusive Service

This moving service is based on providing a crew and vehicle which to totally dedicated to moving you and your family. The timeframes for the move are tailored to your schedule.

The services offered as part of the removal are just the same as if you are moving within the UK, but our years of knowledge can prove invaluable when moving into a new Country.

Shared Load Service

This cost-effective removal solution is great for clients looking to move a small consignment of effects or a single item into Europe. The quality of service offered is, of course, the same as our exclusive removal service but the costs are shared with other clients looking to move to the same area abroad.

As this is a shared removal service, you’ll need to be flexible on the collection and delivery dates of your belongings. However, you are still provided with a timescale for delivery when your belongings are collected from your UK address and then a date for delivery before your belongings leave the UK.

Shared Load Service

A Shared Load Service is a great way for clients to move their belongings to a new destination in Europe. Our clients receive the same high-quality service throughout the moving process but, by sharing space on a vehicle with other client’s consignments, they reduce the overall cost of their removal.

How to works;

We compile a quotation for you based on your removal requirements. If you then chose to accept the quote, we will arrange for your effects to be collected and returned to our secure warehouse to be stored while we arrange onward delivery.

To ensure the safe passage of every client’s goods we always ensure that each consignment is individually wrapped, labelled and inventoried.

We will then work to consolidate your consignment with others. One of the benefits of being an Independent Company is that we have built up a panel of trusted suppliers, who each specialise in delivery different European Countries. We will utilise this panel to ensure the efficient and safe delivery of your belongings.

Factors which will affect the timescales for delivery include, the time of year you are looking to move and the popularity of your chosen destination. But, once we have a possible date for delivery we will contact you to make delivery arrangements.

If you would like more information on a specific European Destination please feel free to get in touch.

The gentlemen from Hackworthy who have now moved us twice are professional, helpful and create such a positive atmosphere on moving day. Happy repeat customers.

Our move turned out to be far from straightforward with two sales falling through just before exchange and the sale that went through having several changes of date and extensions. Hackworthy staff remained calm in the face of our escalating tensions.
Our move eventually happened, a year after they dropped the moving boxes off, we are so pleased to be in our new home. Thank you

From start to finish Hackworthy and Sons made our move from Cornwall to the Malverns as smooth as possible. Despite awkward, narrow stairs in our new home, they were able to find innovative ways to navigate delivering our furniture safely and securely. The two removal men worked solidly over the two days and were friendly and informative throughout. I would highly recommend them for your removal requirements.

Caroline & Paul.

We used Hackworthy for our home move from Devon to East Sussex and simply couldn’t rate them highly enough! From the moment they turned up in the morning the guys were professional and reassured us every step of the way that we would fit everything in the lorry safe and sound. It was a 3 day move because of the distance and safe practice for loading and unloading, and this reflects the care of the company both for their staff and for not wanting to rush the job and sacrifice quality. Everything arrived in perfect condition and we were thrilled with the service. A top notch job well worth the money. Highly recommended.

Family run business. Always friendly. Have used them over the years for home contents move, self-storage, and document shredding. Price competitive. They like a sticky bun as a treat!

Thank you for fitting in my move at short notice. The members of staff that I spoke to on the phone were very helpful and answered all my questions. The crew that arrived were brilliant. They were all very different characters (!), but worked well as a team.

Joanne

We found the three men doing our move very friendly and efficient. They worked hard and respected our house and belongings. We would certainly recommend them and thank them for their efforts. The follow up service of removing the used boxes is also very helpful.

What a fantastic company and the two guys who moved us were awesome. Couldn't do enough to make our stressful move non stressful and so easy from start to finish. Absolutely recommend this company for a smoith house move and first class customer care too.

Shane Harris

Love using Hackworthy, 3rd time a few weeks ago. No fuss, huge lorry, great guys, job done.

Keith

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you and your team most sincerely for the excellent service by Jason and Steve who carried out the move. Nothing was too much trouble.... they were extremely helpful, courteous and polite.... and certainly made what is generally known to be a most stressful experience somewhat pleasant! I certainly would have no hesitation in recommending your company to any of my friends or colleagues who need removal services.

Matthew

A very quick email regarding our recent move....Simply put Ollie and Josh were brilliant. They turned up and immediately set about getting us packed. Throughout the move they were polite, friendly and worked incredibly hard. We couldn't have asked for two better chaps to help us with our move and the breathtaking amount of stuff we've accumulated!

Sue

I was very impressed with the service and all the staff. The office staff were friendly and helpful over the phone/via email, and the removal team were one of the best we have ever used. We have moved 14 times and had some very poor experiences, we had two exceptional experiences prior to this one, and now we have had three exceptional experiences. We were very happy with the move and all the staff and I hope we let them know how pleased we were. I would definitely use them again if needed.

Mark

The Hackworthy ethos far exceeds a customer's expectations. We have used you twice for ourselves, and you recently moved our friend - but had to go through me for the whole aspect of the removal service due to her work commitments - not once did any of your staff call or email her with anything - she said it was the most stress free move she has ever done in her life. Thank you Hackworthy's. Wish there were more companies with your attitude to the unexpected!
