Every move to Toulouse starts with a chat about what you are moving and when. We ask about both homes, including stairs, lifts, parking and any tight turns. With this, we can give you a clear quote and suggest a dedicated vehicle or a shared load.
On packing day, our team wraps furniture, packs boxes and labels each one by room. We then load the vehicle in a set order, so the items you need first come off first. Your goods travel to France with the right customs papers, and we keep you updated along the way.
When the vehicle reaches Toulouse, we call ahead so you know when to expect us. The crew carries everything into the rooms you choose and puts furniture back together. If your new home is not ready, we can hold your things in secure storage until it is.
Keep a small bag with you that holds passports, contracts, chargers and clothes for a few days. If your goods arrive after you, this bag will make the wait much easier. Also keep copies of your customs papers with you, in case anyone asks to see them.
Before moving day, measure doorways and rooms in your new home if you can. Older flats in Toulouse can have tight stairs, so it helps to know what will fit. Sell or give away items that will not suit the new space. Moving less is quicker, and it can also cost less.
If you have questions at any stage, our team is happy to help. Call 07428474474 or 02080444474, or email info@elitemoving.co.uk with your dates and both addresses.
Once you are settled, you may want to move again within the area, or bring over items you left in the UK. We can help with both. A later trip on a shared load is often a simple way to bring the rest of your things over when you are ready, without paying for a whole vehicle.
Yes. Parts of central Toulouse have narrow old streets and limited parking. We ask about access at both ends when we quote. If a large lorry cannot get close, we plan a smaller vehicle or extra crew to carry items the last part of the way. Telling us early helps us plan the day well.
Since Brexit, moving household goods from the UK to France usually needs customs paperwork and a clear inventory. Many people moving their main home can claim relief, which usually needs you to have lived outside the EU for some time and owned the goods for a while. Always check the current rules before you move.
Yes. If you only have a few boxes or some furniture, a shared load can be good value. Your things travel with other customers' goods heading the same way. The delivery window is wider than with a dedicated vehicle, so it suits people with flexible dates. We can talk you through both options.
Yes. We offer full packing, or packing for fragile items only. We use strong boxes and wrap that stand up to a long trip. We can also take apart large furniture and put it back together in your new home in Toulouse, so you can settle in faster.
