There are three container sizes available from the United Kingdom
We will make your moves just as simple as from moving house to house in the United Kingdom. It is best to plan your move as it will take time to get the appropriate Visa.
Please remember that with most entry visas you will be required to pay taxes and customs duties on your personnel effects. We can offer you comprehensive professional advice on all visa aspects. Some Visa advice is listed below.
We also understand the need to budget your move so we offer three levels of service to meet your requirements we also encourage you to get quotes from other companies but ask you to make sure you are asking for a quote which offers the same service as ours this ensures a like for like quote and a correct comparison.
Our service levels are Gold, Silver & Bronze.
We will do a full written quote which is available for 30 days due to currency fluctuations but hopefully long before the final written quote we will be able to give you a verbal quote so you can compare with other companies and this will also give us time to advise you on any matters for the move.

When packing your own goods it is recommended that you pack more small boxes than large ones and of sizes that are compatible with the dimensions of the container also that each box is numbered with a brief description of contents written on the out side of the box. Mark fragile on boxes that are fragile so when boxes are loaded the fragile boxes are easily identified and can be stacked to respect the fragile nature of the contents. We can supply you with FRAGILE HANDLE WITH CARE labels free of charge just ask when you book your container with us. Pack your boxes so there is no room for movement within the box and that the box has solid content that will withstand the pressure of other boxes being stacked on top of it. A cardboard box is surprisingly strong if it is not over packed and bulged, it will withstand quite a lot of pressure so the advice here is to keep the box in a box shape. It is advised that twin wall export grade boxes are used most removal companies can supply these at a charge we can also supply you with boxes and all packing items such as tape and bubble wrap. When getting your furniture ready wrap it all in bubble wrap taking special attention to areas where it may get scratched e.g. table tops and legs, chair legs and backs. Bubble wrapping your soft furnishings e.g. three piece suite, this will not only protect against damage but will also protect against dirt and debris. We will supply you with a numbered packing list this is a document that will be submitted to Philippine Customs so it is important that it is completed correctly. Each number must correspond with the number on the box or piece of furniture with a brief description of box contents or furniture item. Please remember that we are only a phone call away and will advise you at any time.
