Part-load from London to SW France

A part-load from London, after my mother's death, to my home in France. Not easy to know who to choose to do the job. From the first enquiry, Andy, always available, patiently listened, gave precious advice and answered my numerous questions (all with a great sense of humour).The pickup in London and delivery here ,went according to plan, with Jack and Dan doing a fantastic job of packing and protecting all the many fragile items, so there was no damage. The team dealt with customs clearance and paperwork efficiently. Jack and Dan delivered here, 10 days later, spot on time.
Brilliant communication! A thoroughly professional job! And a big thank you to all the team from me!

First rate operation

Andy and his team were excellent. From arranging the pick up from our storage unit in France, to dealing with the customs declaration and storing our items in the UK… nothing was too much trouble and communication was first rate. The delivery team in the UK were fantastic too… so friendly and very careful with all our items. I would thoroughly recommend this company.

International removals made easy!

Over the years I have made several removals of furniture from the UK to France and vice versa. This year 2023 I was concerned about the
Brexit formalities. I need not have worried as thanks to Andy, Alex and the team at Watsons, the delivery of my personal effects from England to France all went very smoothly.
I have no hesitation recommending Watson European Removal company

Mini Cooper move

Watson European have recently helped me move my Mini Cooper from the Uk to France. They are extremely professional and knowledgeable of the import process, they helped me every step of the way. The whole team treated me with courtesy and respect and responded quickly to any queries I had. Most of all they treated my car as if it was their own. I would highly recommend the team Thank you

A job well done.

Moving can be stressful but thanks to Andy and the team at Watsons everything went very smoothly. The pricing was very competitive for a move from Scotland to Spain. The pickup was quick and efficient, all the customs paperwork was dealt with and the shipment arrived exactly on time. No hesitation at all in giving 5 stars and recommending them.

Five star removal service

I would highly recommend Watson European if you want a professional removal company, from start to finish they provided an excellent service. Andy and Alex were so friendly and patient, ensuring all my questions were answered and making sure all paperwork and documentation was spot on so the whole process was seamless. The teams who cleared my house in the UK and then delivered it all to me in Portugal were so lovely, always smiling, and worked so hard, nothing was too much trouble. Five star service, thank you.

Thoroughly professional and reliable

I have nothing but praise for the excellent service provided by Watson European. They made a first-class job of moving all my belongings from SW France back home to Rochester in the UK in 2022 and March 2023. Not an easy task after 44 years in France with a huge amount of precious items accumulated during this time. All the paperwork was taken care of in a friendly helpful manner by Alex in the office and the team of movers were always right on time and extremely polite. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
Moving home is stressful enough as it is, moving to another country even more so, but Alex, Andy and the teams were magnificent in ensuring everything went smoothly.
Prices are reasonable and one added advantage is having the option of 60 days free storage giving you time to recover and get sorted.
Thank you once again. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Watson European for removals to and from France and the rest of Europe

We have just used Watson European for the first time, having seen their advertising in The Connexion newspaper. And we were very pleased we did.
From our first contact with Andy through to the ongoing correspondence with Adam, it has been an easy process.
On the day our items were first collected from our U.K. address and went off for a short stay in storage, the two guys notified us in as of the time they would be with us and they kept to that time. They did their job quickly and without fuss and were on their way.
In advance of the items arriving at our French address we were once again given an estimated arrival time and once again the personnel were on time, found us easy thanks to them taking time in advance to pinpoint where we are (it’s not an easy place to locate normally) and delivered our items quickly and efficiently.
We have been very pleased with the services of Watson European and would definitely recommend them.

I was in France with my Mercedes with developed an intermittent electrical fault. Consequently I did not want to drive it home.

I knew nothing at all about Watson..zéro but found their ad in a local mag. They looked good so I send an e-mail and in no time at Andy was on the phone. All organised, car collected within a week and delivered to my front door a week later.

Everything was seamless, easy and stress free.

Excellent throughout. Very good people who I would rate 5-star plus plus.

I would not think twice about using them again.

We recently used Watsons to ship a JCB to France where we live. What we thought would be a fraught experience post Brexit, turned out to be quite the opposite! Andy and Alex were efficient, helpful and pleasant to deal with. A great family business, highly recommended.

Stress free move from SW France by Watson European

From the outset, a complicated move from SW France to Poole in Dorset with additional drops to Lancashire was done smoothly and stress free, including storage while we relocated.

Nothing was too much trouble for the team, including a particularly heavy stone trough ! They were polite and went the extra mile to ensure that we were satisfied.

Communication was excellent throughout with timely updates during the process.

Would highly recommend the company for anyone requiring a professional house move.

Thank you is not enough

Saying a simple thank you to the team at Watsons doesn’t feel like enough. From the moment we contacted them their service, support and care in moving us from central France, storing our belongings (whilst arranging access to clothes as the weather got colder), then moving us into our new home, has been second to none. In France, after packing us up, they changed into new Watsons tee shirts and we shared a memorable moment with our French neighbour. They kept in contact regularly, expecting understandably the same from us, giving us reassurance when necessary and answering any questions promptly. So, thank you to all of you! We would recommend your services to anyone, without hesitation!

The excellent service provided by WatsonEuropean…

The service provided by WatsonEuropean facilitating the move from rural France to an equally remote location in North Yorkshire was second to none.
From the first contact, then the initial survey and all key dates throughout the process, the company and all its excellent personnel alleviated all stress from a fairly complicated removal.
In fact, so pleased with the service, have requested a quote to move my daughter from London to North Yorkshire.
This company is second none

Highly recommended!

Watsons were brilliant from start to finish, making our move from overseas very smooth. From the office to the actual movers, they were all very professional and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were always very quick to reply to emails and phone calls. They were always very informative for all the paperwork too. No hesitation in recommending Watsons :)
