House removals UK to Slovakia start with a practical question: what must reach your new home, and when can it be received? VANonsite plans around your inventory, collection and delivery addresses, access and the agreed service scope. A furnished flat in Bratislava and a house near Košice need different loading and delivery plans. Compare shared-load and dedicated options before committing to dates. For an estimate by email, start with Removals to Slovakia.
Quick planning checklist
Use this checklist before requesting a quote. The key decisions are the load, access at both homes, available dates and the customs evidence needed for your circumstances.
- Provide both full addresses, floor numbers and the distance from legal parking to each entrance.
- Timing: dedicated transport and shared-load departures need a confirmed schedule, not a universal transit promise.
- Discuss the required customs & paperwork and who will submit each declaration before collection.
- Compare dedicated transport, part-load, professional packing and any separately agreed storage arrangements.
- Pricing depends on volume (m³), item dimensions, handling, access and dates. Request the initial estimate by email.
- Ask about protection, the written liability or insurance terms, exclusions and the update arrangements for your booking.
- Get started now → Removals to Slovakia.
Page Overview
Separate the transport you need from optional extras. The written offer should identify collection, delivery, packing, storage and customs responsibilities rather than treating every item below as automatically included.
- Door-to-door planning starts with the actual Slovak address, whether in Bratislava, Košice, Nitra, Žilina, Banská Bystrica, Trnava, Prešov or a rural postcode.
- Service options: dedicated transport or Part-Load/Groupage, with Full/Fragile Packing and storage discussed separately where needed and available.
- Schedule: agree the collection window and delivery window around loading, border formalities, the route and receiving access.
- Customs preparation: discuss the inventory, evidence and any relief application; clearance depends on the competent customs authority.
- Item protection: confirm packing materials and methods, and request the applicable liability or insurance terms before booking.
- Updates: agree the communication method and whether vehicle tracking is available for the specific service.
- Access planning: disclose parking permits, stairs, long carries, narrow streets and lift bookings before the transport plan is confirmed.
- Shared capacity: a compatible shared route can avoid paying for unused vehicle space; actual savings depend on the quotation.
- Request an estimate: submit the two addresses, contact details and date, then describe the inventory and access in Notes.
Request an estimate by email: enter the actual addresses and describe what is moving at Removals to Slovakia. The initial estimate is not a confirmed booking.
How UK→Slovakia House Removals Work (Step by Step)
To remove surprises, here’s the journey from first survey to aftercare in clear, simple steps.
- Survey & Quote: Start with the online email estimate, then confirm inventory and access details as needed.
- List furniture dimensions, boxes, fragile pieces and any special handling requirements; agree how the load will be assessed.
- You share photos/video of access, stairs/lifts, distance-to-parking, and any restrictions.
- Outcome: an initial estimate, followed by confirmation of the inventory, access, service scope, availability and written booking terms.
- Plan & Reserve: Choose service type (dedicated vs part‑load), dates, and packing level.
- Read the written booking terms, any deposit requirement and the agreed dates before reserving transport.
- Confirm who obtains permits and lift bookings, and when loading or unloading is allowed.
- Request packing, storage, dismantling, reassembly or packing-material removal only where needed; confirm availability and charges in writing.
- Packing & Load: Professional packing (optional), export‑wrap of furniture, labelled inventory.
- Agree the materials and packing work required; confirm whether any materials will be supplied and when.
- Discuss protection for edges, polished surfaces and upholstered items, including what you will pack and what the crew will prepare.
- Use a numbered inventory that distinguishes owner-packed boxes, fragile items and the rooms where they should be delivered.
- Customs Prep: Agree which documents and declarations are needed for the actual collection location and move.
- Ask the appointed representative for the required identity, residence and inventory evidence; use their submission instructions.
- Check eligibility for any household-goods relief with the competent authority, and disclose new goods or restricted items separately.
- Confirm the customs representative, declaration route and document deadlines for your shipment.
- Transit: Dedicated or shared transport under the agreed route and update arrangements.
- Dedicated vans: discuss loading and handling arrangements and confirm the receiving deadline.
- Part-loads: compatible loads share planned capacity; agree the departure and delivery windows before relying on them.
- Agree a contact channel and how you will receive collection and delivery updates.
- Delivery & Unload: Confirm the unloading scope and any separately agreed extra work.
- Confirm the receiving window, legal parking, access and room-placement instructions before delivery.
- Confirm room placement and any reassembly before booking; identify beds, wardrobes or tables that need extra handling.
- If unpacking or packing-material removal is needed, ask whether it is available and included in the offer.
- Aftercare: Claims support and tips for settling in.
- Post‑delivery check‑off against the inventory and photo‑condition notes.
- Keep the written booking terms and the applicable claims contact details accessible after delivery.
- Feedback loop so we can continually improve the UK→Slovakia removals experience.

Which Service is Right for You?
Every move is different; use this section to match speed, budget and volume to the right service.
Options at a Glance
| Service Type | Best For | Load assessment | Schedule to confirm | Key Benefits | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Van | 1–3 bed homes, time‑critical moves | Inventory and dimensions | Agreed dates | Capacity planned for your shipment | Compare the complete quoted scope |
| Part‑Load / Groupage | Budget moves, flexible dates | Compatible smaller loads | Agreed window | Share planned vehicle capacity | Flexibility and handling arrangements |
| Packing Service | Fragile/valuable items | n/a | n/a | Agree items, materials and labour | Add‑on cost |
| Storage (UK/EU) | Staged relocations | n/a | Confirm receiving dates | Agreed holding arrangements | Confirm duration and onward handling |
Dedicated Van – choose this if:
Discuss dedicated transport when your receiving date is important or the inventory does not fit a suitable shared route. Ask how collection and delivery will be organised.
- You have a receiving deadline, such as a key handover or booked building-access slot, that must be discussed before booking.
- You are moving a whole flat or house; assess the actual dimensions and handling needs rather than assigning a capacity from bedroom count.
- Access is difficult and the vehicle and crew plan must account for narrow streets, stairs or long carries.
Good to know: compare the actual handling steps, receiving arrangements and total quotation rather than assuming a service is always quicker or cheaper.
Part‑Load / Groupage – choose this if:
Choose a shared load when your volume is modest and you’re flexible on delivery windows.
- You have selected furniture or boxes and can accept an agreed delivery window.
- You want to compare shared capacity with dedicated transport and can receive goods within a confirmed window.
- You can plan around a compatible route; compare the total charge, access requirements and any storage or handling arrangements.
Good to know: ask about transfers, identification of boxes and handling responsibilities rather than assuming every shared load follows the same process.
Packing Service – when it helps most
Packing should be chosen around the items: a glass table, dismantled wardrobe and box of books need different protection. State which items you will pack and which need professional help.
- Crystal, artwork, IT equipment, or time‑poor households.
- A clear, itemised inventory supports document preparation, but professional packing does not guarantee customs clearance.
Storage (UK/EU) – ideal for staged moves
Use storage to bridge gaps between keys, renovation dates or temporary accommodation.
- Renovations, renting before buying, or waiting for keys.
- If storage is necessary, confirm the location, access, handling charges and onward delivery plan before agreeing a staged move.
Real‑World Scenarios
These are hypothetical planning examples, not customer case studies or published capacity packages. Use your own inventory to choose the right service.
- Student or starter move: compare shared-load availability for your actual boxes and selected furniture.
- Family house move: assess every large item and discuss dedicated or shared transport against the receiving deadline.
- Tight city access or restricted hours: confirm legal parking, permits and the vehicle dimensions before fixing loading arrangements.
- Move in stages: compare storage and separate journeys, including the additional handling and costs.

Transit Times & Scheduling
Plan from the delivery date your new home can actually accept. The route pairs below are prompts for scheduling questions, not published transit-time guarantees.
Route scheduling questions
| Origin (UK) | Destination (SK) | Dedicated planning | Part-load planning |
|---|---|---|---|
| London/Home Counties | Bratislava | Confirm receiving date | Check compatible route |
| South East / South West | Bratislava | Confirm collection slot | Agree delivery window |
| Midlands / North | Žilina / Nitra | Check full addresses | Confirm availability |
| London/Home Counties | Košice / Prešov | Allow route planning | Agree receiving window |
| Scotland / Wales | Košice | Plan the complete route | Check departure options |
| Northern Ireland (ferry) | Bratislava | Confirm NI formalities | Discuss route and paperwork |
Loading, legal driver-rest requirements, crossings, customs and local access all affect scheduling. Do not arrange key handovers or travel around an unconfirmed delivery date.
Scheduling Options
Pick from the models below depending on how tight your schedule is and how price‑sensitive you are.
- Dedicated transport: discuss route, loading time and the receiving deadline; driver-rest requirements and border procedures still apply.
- Last-minute moving: the 1-3 day option is one VANonsite service possibility, subject to route, capacity, access and paperwork confirmation; it is not a standard promise for every Slovakia move.
- Part-load transport: ask about compatible departures and the agreed delivery window, rather than assuming a fixed weekly service.
What affects timing?
Several practical factors influence the final schedule; here are the most common ones.
- Access & loading complexity (permits, long carries, upper floors without lift).
- Ferry/Tunnel availability on UK–EU leg and peak demand.
- Consolidation schedule for part‑loads (how quickly we fill compatible routes).
- Season & weather: winter conditions in mountainous areas can add contingency.
Tips to secure the best dates
A few small adjustments can make booking easier and often cheaper.
- Contact us as soon as your move is practical; give both preferred and acceptable dates instead of relying on a universal booking lead time.
- Explain your date flexibility so compatible collection and delivery options can be compared.
- Identify your preferred date and acceptable alternatives; a particular weekday does not guarantee a lower price.
- Tell us early about lift restrictions, narrow streets or permit needs so we can plan vehicle size and timing.
- If timing is urgent, discuss the conditional Last Minute Moving option before booking travel or key handovers.
- For a smaller inventory, compare part-load availability and the complete agreed charges.
- Moving in winter? Discuss route and access contingencies, particularly for rural or mountain addresses.

Documents & Customs (Post‑Brexit Basics)
Moving household goods from Great Britain to Slovakia involves EU import formalities. Used personal belongings may qualify for transfer-of-residence relief, but eligibility is not automatic. Check the Slovak Financial Administration guidance before transport. Residence history, the use of goods and excluded items matter; a tenancy alone does not settle the claim. Ask which customs office or representative will handle the declaration and what evidence they require. A Northern Ireland collection may follow different procedures, so identify the location accurately.
Who typically qualifies for relief (high‑level)
- For the usual relief conditions, provide evidence of your normal residence outside the EU for at least 12 months; ask the authority about any applicable exception.
- Goods are used personal property and not for resale.
- Non-consumable goods normally need to have been in your possession and use for at least six months before leaving the former residence and remain for the same personal use after the move.
Regulations can change by authority; we’ll confirm what applies to your case before transport.
Your Document Pack (checklist)
Getting these items ready in advance keeps borders smooth and your delivery on schedule.
- Identity evidence and the contact details required by the appointed customs representative; use their requested secure submission method.
- Residence evidence: discuss which documents show your former residence and new residence, not just the destination tenancy.
- Detailed inventory with item descriptions and values where requested; identify FRAGILE items separately for handling.
- Packing list with numbered boxes and contents; agree who prepares and checks it.
- Transport documents: confirm the waybill and the correct collection and delivery details for the booking.
- Customs authorisation only as required by the appointed representative; confirm their form and the scope of authority.
- Vehicles: discuss a separate transport and import plan; a household-removals booking does not automatically include a car or motorbike.
- Pet travel: plan separately with the vet and chosen carrier; do not treat a removals vehicle as booked animal transport.
Suggested Timeline for Documents
A simple countdown helps you prepare without last‑minute stress.
- 4–2 weeks before collection: gather proof of move, scan IDs, advise us of any new/unused items.
- 10–7 days before collection: finalise inventory & values; confirm any restricted items.
- Before collection: confirm that the appointed customs representative has the required documents and any signed authorisation.
- On the day: carry original passports and keep a copy of the inventory accessible.
Restricted & Prohibited Items (guide)
Use this quick guide to decide what to ship, declare or leave behind.
| Category | Examples | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Prohibited | Fuel/gas cylinders, explosive/flammable liquids, fireworks, ammunition, illegal drugs | Do not ship |
| Restricted | Aerosols, paints, solvents, chemicals, batteries not in equipment, large power tools | Declare; special packing or exclude |
| Controlled/Declare | Alcohol, tobacco, high‑value jewellery, new goods, cash/collectibles | Declare; duties/taxes may apply |
| Biosecurity | Plants, seeds, soil, untreated wood, perishables | Generally not accepted; ask us |
Avoid delays by:
- Listing new/unused purchases separately (receipts may be requested).
- Keeping quantities realistic for a household move (no commercial volumes).
- Flagging antiques/artwork that may need special documentation.
- Ensuring appliances are clean & dry; note serial numbers for high‑value items.
Reminder: agree the declaration arrangements before loading. Use GOV.UK customs guidance to check procedures for the actual UK departure location.
What We Pack (and How)
Choose packing around the condition, shape and fragility of each item, then confirm the materials and work included in the quotation.
Packing Standards
Our crews use export‑grade materials and consistent methods to keep your items safe door‑to‑door.
- Export wrap for furniture: padded blankets + stretch/foam where needed.
- Carton quality: double‑walled boxes, taped on all seams; wardrobe cartons for hanging clothes.
- Box weight: follow the carton rating and the agreed handling guidance; split dense contents into smaller boxes rather than assuming one weight suits every carton.
- Itemised labelling: each carton marked Room – Contents – Carton # (e.g., KITCHEN – Pans – 12).
- Condition photographs help record valuable items before packing; retain them with your inventory.
Box Types (quick guide)
Use this table to discuss suitable packaging; it is not a promise that every material or specialist pack is included.
| Box Type | Typical Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Small (Book) Box | Books, tins, tools | Heavy items only up to guidance weight |
| Medium Box | Kitchenware, decor | Most common; mix light + medium items |
| Large Box | Bedding, cushions, soft goods | Avoid overloading with heavy items |
| Wardrobe Carton | Hanging clothes | Prevents creasing; includes rail |
| TV/Monitor Pack | Screens | Foam edge guards; keep remotes/cables bagged |
Special‑Care Items
Some belongings need extra attention; here’s how we protect them in transit.
- Glass, mirrors, artwork: corner protectors, picture cartons, optional custom crates.
- Appliances: drain washing machines, fit transit bolts; defrost and dry fridges/freezers 24 hrs before collection.
- Mattresses/sofas: bagged/covered to keep clean in transit.
- Bikes/sports gear: wheel/handlebar removal and frame protectors as needed.
Self‑Pack vs Pro‑Pack
Pick the approach that fits your time, budget and risk tolerance.
- Self-packing: confirm suitable materials, box labelling and any owner-packed exclusions before preparing the load.
- Professional packing: discuss fragile items and the required materials; a clear inventory remains necessary and does not guarantee duty relief.
DIY packing? Ask about materials and delivery arrangements. For professional packing, identify the items and confirm availability and charges.




Access, Parking & Building Rules
Why it matters: Good access planning saves time, reduces costs, and prevents parking fines or building‑rule issues.
Before You Book (share with your surveyor)
A short pre‑survey checklist helps us plan the right vehicle, crew and timings.
- Full postcodes and floor numbers at both addresses.
- Photos/videos of street, entrance, corridors, stairwells, lifts and any tight turns.
- Any height/width restrictions (arches, car parks), weight limits, or time‑of‑day rules.
Permits & Restrictions
Local rules vary by council and building, so advance planning is essential.
- Check responsibility for bay suspensions, loading permits and temporary signs with the authority and VANonsite before move day.
- Check the relevant council or building lead time directly; approval times and permitted loading arrangements vary.
- Red routes/loading only zones: loading must be at signed bays and within time limits — reservations recommended.
Vehicle & Distance (guides)
Good parking and the right vehicle size keep loading efficient and costs predictable.
- Measure the actual carrying distance from lawful parking to the entrance; explain steps, gates and narrow passages.
- Confirm clearance for the actual assigned vehicle:
- Vehicle dimensions: ask for the required length, height and loading clearance; do not use generic van measurements.
- Vehicle clearance: obtain the dimensions of the assigned vehicle before relying on height barriers, arches or restricted loading areas.
- Tell us about low bridges, narrow lanes, or limited turning circles.
Lifts, Stairs & Building Rules
Sharing these details early helps us avoid bottlenecks on move day.
- Reserve lift slots and obtain service lift keys if available.
- Share lift dimensions/weight limits; confirm if protective padding is required by building management.
- For stairs: number of floors, tight corners/spirals, and handrail clearance.
Special Access Solutions
When streets are narrow or weight‑restricted, we adapt the plan to reach you safely.
- Restricted access may require a different vehicle or handling arrangement; confirm feasibility and cost in advance.
- Specialist lifting equipment is not automatically included; discuss the item, site permissions and any separate provider requirements.
- Any vehicle transfer must be agreed, including where it happens and who handles the goods.
Property Protection on the Day
We protect floors, corners and communal areas to keep your property (and neighbours) happy.
- Discuss floor protection, corner protection and any building-management requirements before loading.
- Disclose any indoor access rules and agree practical protection requirements with the crew.
- Protect walls and lifts with pads/blankets as required by building rules.
On‑Day Quick Checklist
Use this short list to keep the day running smoothly.
- Neighbour notice and cones/signage in place (where allowed).
- Clear routes inside the property; remove obstacles and fragile decor.
- Keep pets secure and a lift key/fob to hand.
- Prepare a Do‑Not‑Pack essentials box (documents, meds, chargers).
Rural Addresses in Slovakia
Country roads and weather can add complexity; a few details help us plan the right approach.
- Provide precise location details and explain unpaved roads or winter restrictions; confirm that the planned vehicle can legally reach the property.
Insurance & Protection
Before booking, distinguish protective packing, the carrier’s liability and any separate insurance. These are not interchangeable promises.
Protection to confirm before booking
Request the written terms for your actual booking, including what is covered, limits, exclusions and the reporting process.
- Goods-in-transit protection: confirm the applicable liability or policy terms, value basis and covered stages in writing.
- Agree any packing and securing work separately from the insurance or liability arrangements.
Upgrade Options
For fragile or high-value belongings, ask which protection options are actually available for the booking and what they exclude.
- Additional cover: do not assume packing, handling, transport and delivery are all insured; request the precise stages, exclusions and limits.
- Ask specifically about matching sets and electrical or mechanical faults if these matter to your belongings; do not assume an extension is available.
Valuation & High‑Value Items
Use the valuation basis requested in the written terms; a generic replacement value may not match the policy or liability basis.
- Discuss the required valuation basis and any item-specific limits before choosing protection.
- List high-value pieces separately, with condition photographs and any special handling needs.
- Keep purchase proofs/serial numbers for selected items where possible.
Common Exclusions (guide)
Ask how the applicable terms treat the examples below. This is a checklist of questions, not a definitive list of policy exclusions.
- How are owner-packed boxes treated, and what packing evidence is required?
- Are jewellery, cash and documents excluded or subject to special conditions? Keep essential valuables with you.
- How are pre-existing damage, wear and cosmetic marks assessed? Record condition before collection.
How to Report a Claim
If an item arrives damaged or is missing, record the issue promptly and follow the reporting route and deadlines in the applicable written terms.
- Note any visible issues on the delivery paperwork at handover.
- Photograph the item(s) and packaging; keep damaged packing until advised.
- Contact your coordinator as soon as possible (ideally within 48 hours) for next steps and forms.
- Provide inventory references, values and receipts where available.
Exact coverage, limits and reporting timelines will be confirmed in your policy schedule and terms.
Risk‑Reduction Tips
These quick wins reduce the chance of damage and speed up delivery.
- Choose Pro‑Pack for fragile/valuable items.
- Avoid overloading cartons; stick to weight guidance.
- Keep passports, jewellery, laptops and daily‑use medications with you.


8‑Week Move Timeline (Checklist)
Follow this plan to keep tasks manageable and avoid last‑minute rushes.
8–6 Weeks Out
- Agree the inventory, preferred dates and service option, then record a provisional receiving window for Slovakia.
- Decide what is worth transporting. Reduce unnecessary items using dimensions and replacement plans, not an invented savings percentage.
- Photograph high‑value items for condition records; note serial numbers.
- Gather tenancy/ownership or employment proof for customs relief.
5–4 Weeks Out
- Order packing materials or book professional packing; schedule any handyman support for dismantling.
- Notify landlord/solicitor and set up utilities in Slovakia (electricity, internet, water, waste).
- Apply for parking permits/bay suspensions at both addresses where required.
- Identify restricted items (paints, aerosols, alcohol) and plan to exclude/declare.
3–2 Weeks Out
- Begin room‑by‑room packing; label by room + contents + carton #.
- Prepare a do‑not‑pack essentials box and a first‑night kit (kettle, bedding, toiletries, chargers).
- Finalise your inventory with approximate values for insurance; flag fragile items.
- Share access photos/videos with your coordinator and confirm lift bookings.
Move Week
- Take meter readings, defrost and dry fridge/freezer (24 hours before collection).
- Reserve parking, inform neighbours/building, protect floors & door frames.
- Set aside passports, keys, pet documents, and medications to travel with you.
- Separate owner‑packed vs pro‑packed cartons for clear paperwork.
Delivery Day
- Walkthrough, room‑to‑room placement; check off against the inventory.
- Inspect fragile/high‑value items first; photograph any concerns.
- Keep packaging for a few days in case of returns/claims; book debris removal if needed.
First 48 Hours in Slovakia
- Register with local utilities/landlord as needed; check appliances after transit.
- Build beds/wardrobes first; unpack the kitchen and essentials box.
- Leave a short review or feedback so we can keep improving your route.
Moving with Pets, Cars & Special Items
Pets, vehicles and specialist items need separate confirmation. Their inclusion is not implied by booking household furniture and boxes.
Pets (dogs, cats & small animals)
Arrange pet travel separately with the chosen carrier and vet. The household-removals service does not itself confirm transport for animals.
- Before travel: ask your vet and carrier about the required identification, documents and preparation for the actual itinerary.
- Crate preparation: choose a crate large enough for standing/turning; add familiar bedding and a worn T‑shirt; begin acclimatisation 1–2 weeks ahead.
- On loading day: keep pets in a quiet, closed room with water, litter/pads and signage on the door.
- During travel: plan regular breaks; avoid over‑feeding; carry collapsible bowls, waste bags and cleaning wipes.
- On arrival: set up one safe room first with food/water/bed/litter; keep routines consistent for the first few days.
Cars & Motorbikes
Confirm a separate vehicle-transport plan, import requirements and carrier instructions before preparing a car or motorbike.
- Documents: registration (e.g., V5C), insurance, keys/fobs, immobiliser codes.
- Preparation: follow the assigned carrier’s instructions, photograph condition and remove loose items; confirm alarm and transport-mode instructions rather than disabling systems without guidance.
- Vehicle transport: confirm the loading method and whether a specialist carrier is required; ramps, winches or enclosed transport are not standard inclusions.
- EV/Hybrid notes: confirm state of charge (SoC) requirements; provide charging cable; some models require transport mode activation.
- Motorcycles: discuss suitable restraints and loading equipment with the agreed carrier before collection.
Pianos, Artwork & Antiques
Delicate and heavy items need specialist handling and, sometimes, custom protection.
- Pre‑survey: measure stairs, landings and tight turns; confirm floor load limits for grands.
- Protection: climate‑considerate wrapping, keyboard locks, corner guards; custom crates for artwork/mirrors where appropriate.
- Handling: explain the item and access so the required crew and equipment can be assessed before booking.
- Protection: declare specialist items and their condition, then confirm any item-specific liability or insurance limits.
IT/TV & Electronics
Data safety and proper packing are key to a smooth setup at your new home.
- Data safety: back up laptops/PCs and sensitive drives before packing.
- Disassembly: photograph cable layouts; bag remotes/cables and label with the device name.
- Packing: use anti‑static sleeves/bags where available; stand screens upright, edge‑protected; avoid stacking heavy items on electronics.
Large Appliances
A few steps before collection protect seals, motors and finishes during transit.
- Washing machines: fit transit bolts; drain residual water.
- Fridges/freezers: defrost 24–48 hours prior; dry seals and leave doors ajar till loading.
- Cookers/ovens: isolate safely; gas disconnections/reconnections must be performed by qualified professionals at origin and destination.
- Dishwashers: drain hoses and filters; secure racks.
- General: tape doors/cables; protect with covers; let appliances stand upright for several hours after arrival before switching on (especially fridges/freezers).

FAQs
How long does a UK to Slovakia house removal take?
The schedule depends on loading, the route, crossings, customs and receiving access. Agree collection and delivery dates before booking. The conditional 1-3 day Last Minute Moving option is not a guarantee for every shipment.
How much does it cost to move from the UK to Slovakia?
There is no reliable starting price without the inventory and two addresses. Give item dimensions and access details, request an estimate by email and confirm the written scope and charges before booking.
Can you help with customs paperwork?
Discuss the inventory, documents and the appointed representative before collection. Relief eligibility and clearance are decisions for the competent authority, not automatic results of a moving quote.
Do you offer packing and storage?
Discuss the items that need packing and any gap between collection and receiving your new home. Confirm availability, storage arrangements, handling and charges for the booking.
Do you cover my Slovak town?
Provide the full postcode and address, including rural-road or building-access restrictions, so route availability and the delivery plan can be checked.
Can you dismantle and reassemble furniture?
Identify the item, fittings and access when requesting the quote. Confirm the agreed work, time, tools and charges rather than assuming every item is included.
What can’t you transport?
Do not include hazardous or unlawful goods in an ordinary household load. Disclose restricted items before packing and check both transport acceptance and customs rules; use the items table as a screening prompt, not permission to ship.
How far in advance should I book?
Contact us when the inventory and dates are practical. Share preferred dates and alternatives; earlier planning helps assess availability but does not guarantee a price or departure.
Do you supply packing materials?
Discuss the quantities, item types, material availability and any delivery charge with your quote. Do not assume specialist packs or advance delivery are included.
