Our long distance removals Northern Ireland service covers moves to England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland, and moves back the other way.
We're based at Knockmore Industrial Estate in Lisburn, on the island of Ireland, so every route starts or finishes close to home. Every move gets a free survey and a fixed price in writing.
Chris Magee founded the company in 2016, and a team of seven now runs four trucks from the Lisburn depot
Moving homes across Northern Ireland and the Irish Sea since 2016
Every route works a little differently. Where you start and finish decides the crossing and whether there's any paperwork.
| Route | How it crosses | Paperwork for household goods | Route guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Ireland to England | Irish Sea ferry | None, it's a UK move | moving to England from Northern Ireland |
| Northern Ireland to Scotland | Short ferry crossing to south-west Scotland | None, it's a UK move | moving to Scotland from Northern Ireland |
| Northern Ireland to the Republic | By road, no ferry | Generally simpler, confirmed at survey | moving to the Republic of Ireland |
| Great Britain to the Republic | Irish Sea ferry | Customs boundary. Transfer of Residence relief via Irish Revenue | removals from the UK to Ireland |
| England to Northern Ireland | Irish Sea ferry | None, it's a UK move | moving from England to Northern Ireland |
We also run three city routes regularly: our Belfast to London route, Belfast to Edinburgh removals, and cross-border Belfast to Dublin moves. Wales is covered on the same basis as England.
For moves to Great Britain, crossings run to south-west Scotland, which is a short sailing, and to the north-west of England, which is a longer one.
The right choice depends on where you're heading, because it trades sailing time against driving time at the other end. We pick the crossing at survey and build it into your fixed price. Moves to the Republic go by road.
Sailings can be affected by weather, so we agree a delivery window with you rather than a fixed hour.
For the full picture on sailings, timings and insurance, see how a cross-channel move works.
Most of our long-distance moves start in Greater Belfast. The depot is a short drive from the city, so we can survey your home in person before the move. See long-distance removals Belfast for moves from the city, or long-distance removals from Lisburn if you're closer to the depot.
We collect from right across Northern Ireland. See the Northern Ireland towns we cover.
Boxes on a long-distance move get handled more and travel further than on a local job. Book full or partial packing for the whole house or just the fragile items.
If your new home isn't ready on moving day, we offer short or long-term storage and deliver when you're ready.

Only one of our routes crosses an international customs boundary: moving household goods from Great Britain into the Republic of Ireland. For that, most people moving home apply to Irish Revenue for Transfer of Residence relief before their goods travel. Moves between Northern Ireland and Great Britain are domestic UK moves, and moving from Northern Ireland to the Republic is generally simpler. We confirm what applies at survey, and revenue.ie has the current rules.
