Removals toWaterloo
Weekly departures from the UK to Waterloo. Detached houses, driveways and gardens, which makes it the most straightforward delivery we make in Belgium.
Where families go when the flat in Brussels stops working
Waterloo is the classic second move. People arrive on a Brussels posting, take an apartment in Ixelles or Etterbeek, and then a child reaches school age or a second one arrives and the flat stops being enough. Fifteen miles south of the city they find detached houses with gardens, quiet streets and one of the largest and longest-established British communities anywhere on the continent, with the international schools that come with it.
For us that changes the shape of the job. Waterloo moves are bigger than Brussels moves, more often full households with garden furniture and garages, and far more likely to include storage on one end. They are also much easier to deliver, which usually shows up in the price.
UK to Waterloo, step by step
After a quick survey — in person or over video — you get a fixed, itemised quote. Then it runs like this.
We survey and fix the price
Video walkthrough or an in-person visit. One itemised number covering collection, the crossing, customs and delivery, including the external lift and the parking reservation where your address needs them.
We collect, pack and clear customs
Our crew loads at your door. Eurotunnel or ferry, then a short run up from Calais. Since Brexit you need Transfer of Residence relief and a valued inventory, and we prepare both so nothing stalls at the border.
We deliver into your home
Not to the pavement. We arrange the parking reservation, bring a meubellift where the staircase will not take your furniture, and reassemble what we took apart.
What moving into Waterloo actually involves
This is the easiest delivery in Belgium. The housing is largely twentieth-century detached and semi-detached, set back from the road with driveways and off-street parking, so a full-size lorry can normally get right to the door and the crew works straight off the tailboard. Staircases in modern Belgian houses take furniture normally, so the external lift that defines a Brussels move is rarely needed here.
Two practical points. Waterloo sits in Walloon Brabant rather than the Brussels-Capital Region, so it is outside the Brussels low-emission zone and the administration is Walloon and French-speaking, with its own commune process where a parking reservation is needed at all. And because the properties are larger, loads run bigger than people estimate: it is worth a proper survey rather than a guess, particularly if a garage, a garden store or a cellar is coming too.

How much does a removal to Waterloo from the UK cost?
A removal from the UK to Waterloo typically costs between £650 and £4,200 depending on the volume you are moving, and takes 2 to 5 days door to door. A shared part-load is the cheapest way to move a smaller home; a dedicated vehicle is faster and suits a full household.
| Move size | Volume | Typical cost | Door-to-door |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part load | 5-10 m³ | £650 - £1,100 | 2-5 days |
| Studio / 1-bed | 15-20 m³ | £950 - £1,450 | 2-4 days |
| 2-bed home | 25-30 m³ | £1,500 - £2,200 | 2-3 days |
| 3-bed home | 35-45 m³ | £2,100 - £3,000 | 2-3 days |
| 4-bed home or larger | 50-65 m³ | £2,900 - £4,200 | 2-3 days |
- Every figure includes loading, the Channel crossing, fuel, tolls and delivery into the room.
- Access affects the price: a parking reservation from the commune, a lift booking or an external furniture lift are priced at survey, not added on the day.
- Transfer of Residence relief means no duty or VAT on your own household goods when you are moving your main home, and we prepare the paperwork with you.
The table above is a guide. Your exact price comes from a free survey.
The cost of a move to Waterloo varies with more than the number of rooms. What shapes your price:
- The size of your home — a studio, a two-bed flat and a four-bed house are very different volumes to move.
- Access at both ends — stairs, lifts, narrow streets or a long carry all affect the job.
- Packing — full professional packing, fragile items only, or you pack yourself.
- Dedicated lorry or shared part-load — the space and timing your move needs.
- Storage & specialist items — pianos, artwork, or storage either side of the Channel.
