Making the jump across the ocean?
Moving abroad is one of life's biggest decisions - the last thing you need is uncertainty about your belongings.
At Britannia Harrison & Rowley, we've specialised in international removals for nearly 100 years, giving thousands of UK families the confidence to focus on their new life while we handle every detail of the move. From expert packing and container shipping to customs clearance and delivery, our experienced team manages your international removal from door to door, wherever in the world you're headed.
A more manageable move
Every international removal starts with a free home survey and that's where we make the difference.
We visit you at home to assess your requirements in full, taking careful note of everything that needs to move. From that survey, we build a tailored removal plan covering packing methods, shipping options, and timescales, so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our team are highly experienced in packing and protecting all types of household goods for long-distance shipping, from everyday furniture to fragile, high-value, and awkwardly shaped items. We use export-grade packing materials and proven techniques to ensure everything arrives in exactly the condition it left.
We'll also advise you during the survey on the right shipping option for your volume:
- Full container load (FCL) - your belongings fill a dedicated container, loaded directly from your home and shipped to your destination port
- Groupage (shared container) - if your volume doesn't fill a container, your goods travel securely alongside other consignments, keeping costs down without compromising care
Comprehensive removal solutions
We can also arrange overseas vehicle shipping, whether you're moving a car, motorbike, or other vehicle alongside your international removal. We offer both dedicated and shared container options, plus specialist insurance cover for the journey.
For time-sensitive moves, air freight is available for urgent consignments, and through our network of overseas partners, worldwide storage can be arranged at your destination if you need flexibility on arrival.
From packing and container shipping to vehicle transport, customs clearance, and overseas storage, Britannia Harrison & Rowley provide a complete international removals service, managing every part of your move from the UK to wherever in the world you're headed.

Packing service and bar coding
Packing is the most critical part of any international removal and it's where corners should never be cut.
All smaller items and personal effects are packed and wrapped by our trained removal specialists using export-grade materials, ensuring everything travels safely and arrives in exactly the condition it left. Larger items such as furniture are either export wrapped or professionally crated using our bespoke crating service, depending on the item and distance.
Once packed, every item is individually barcoded giving you and us complete confidence that nothing is left behind at your departure address and everything is accounted for on arrival.
Individual and groupage container shipments
If you have a full container, which most removals do, your articles will be loaded outside your house and taken directly to the port for shipment. Alternatively, if your move is not big enough to fill an entire container, your effects will be bought back to our depot and placed into a consolidation warehouse, where they will be stored securely until being loaded along side other loads, ready for groupage shipment.
You will be advised of all these options during your survey and advised of the volume of your effects.
Full containers can take up to 8 weeks to reach your destination and groupage shipments can take up to 12 – 14.

Great Team
From the moment the team walked into our home to pack up for the move we knew we were in professional hands they worked quickly but were very careful with our belongings and they were very approachable. On the day of the move they arrived on time and loaded the lorry efficiently with care making sure everything was safely stored. On arrival to the new property Ben & Chris worked solidly to make sure all our belongings were unloaded and placed into the correct rooms. We can honestly say this move was the only thing that went through without any stress which is more than can be said for the actual purchase. The whole team from the first telephone call to arrange a quote to the actual move was done with care, commitment and professionalism the whole team were a pleasure to work with we would like to say a big thank you to Ben R, Ben W and Chris D.
