Canada’s Top-Rated Movers. Done As Promised.
Moving to the United Kingdom
Whether your next address is in London or elsewhere in the United Kingdom, your move starts with the details. We help you organize the household inventory, packing needs and delivery plan for your next chapter.
A NEW COUNTRY. A CAREFUL PLAN.
01 / YOUR MOVING PLAN
The right questions at the start make the next steps clearer. Explore the parts of your move we’ll plan together.
The distance changes.
The care doesn’t.
Share the destination city, postcode and property access. Terraced streets, restricted parking, stairs and apartment-building rules can all affect the delivery plan and should be discussed early.
02 / THE EXPERIENCE
Inventory and packing. Customs preparation. Transport and delivery. A plan for each stage of the journey.
Decide what is coming with you and create a detailed inventory. Review furniture protection, fragile packing and the pickup arrangements with your moving contact.
Keep passports, essential documents and valuables with you. Agree what is included in the transport plan, who handles each stage and the expected timing.
A clear inventory starts the journey.
Review UK customs guidance and the documents needed for your circumstances. If you intend to claim Transfer of Residence relief for Great Britain, check eligibility and the application requirements before shipment.
Clarify responsibilities for forms, customs coordination and any duties or charges before booking. Clearance is determined by the relevant authorities, so avoid assuming that every item or shipment qualifies for relief.
Documents ready before departure.
Coordinate delivery after customs release, with keys, parking and building access ready. Confirm the exact destination, including whether the move is to Great Britain or Northern Ireland, when planning the route.
Review the delivery inventory at handover and raise any concerns with your moving contact. Keep essential items accessible while the rest of your household settles in.
A considered arrival in your new country.
03 / BEFORE MOVING DAY
An overseas or cross-border move brings destination-specific details. Gather your inventory, delivery information and timing so each stage can be discussed together.
Start with the details below. Your Kratos agent will review the scope, access and timing with you before the move is confirmed.
Good details.
Better planning.
04 / THE MOVING DIARIES
The boxes. The busy days. The fresh starts.
Follow along for a closer look at moving day.
05 / Moving to the United Kingdom QUESTIONS
Still have something on your mind?
Yes. Provide the full UK destination address so the team can review route availability and the local delivery requirements for your move.
It should be planned separately. Confirm the current UK requirements for your circumstances and shipment rather than assuming another country’s process applies.
Tell us about parking restrictions and distance from the unloading point to the property. Agree access arrangements before delivery rather than leaving them to moving day.
Share photographs and measurements of delicate or awkward items. Packing and handling needs can then be reviewed against the proposed transport and destination access.
The overall timeline depends on collection, transport arrangements, processing and delivery availability. Discuss these stages together before relying on an arrival date.
Both addresses, the UK postcode, an approximate inventory and preferred dates. Include any packing support, access constraints and gaps between collection and your ability to receive delivery.
