Removals from Ireland to Southampton

We run Ireland → UK collections on the same monthly schedule as our outbound loads. Collection from Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and beyond; delivery into any SO14-SO19, SO31 address in Southampton.

Ireland is one of our most regular international destinations and one of the quickest — most jobs land in Dublin, Cork or Galway within 2-5 days door-to-door. Northern Ireland (Belfast, Derry) is technically a UK domestic move (no customs) and we treat it as such, but the ferry logistics are similar. Inbound moves use the same door-to-door coordinator, the same insured crew and the same fixed written pricing model as our UK-to-Ireland work — no local Ireland agent handing you off at the border.

Since Brexit, personal effects entering the UK from Ireland need a formal customs declaration. Returning UK residents and new UK arrivals can claim UK Transfer of Residence (ToR1) relief and import used household goods VAT- and duty-free, provided items have been owned and used abroad for at least 6 months and the move happens within 12 months of establishing UK residency.

We prepare the ToR1 application, the C3 / C5 customs declaration and the inventory in English (and the local language where required) so nothing stalls at Dover, Folkestone or Killingholme.

Southampton parking bay suspensions take 10 working days; we lodge them as part of the booking process. We arrange the Southampton parking permit and lift booking before the vehicle leaves Dublin so the unload runs to the same tight schedule as our domestic UK moves.

Rail context: Southampton Central and Southampton Airport Parkway. Vehicle access via M27 and M3 access. Neighbourhoods we deliver to weekly include City Centre, Portswood, Highfield, Bassett, Bitterne, Shirley.

Indicative pricing on the Ireland → Southampton route mirrors the outbound direction: £900 (small part-load to Dublin) up to £4,500+ (dedicated 4-bed home to Cork or Galway). Return-leg / combined loads can reduce the shared-part-load cost noticeably when your dates are flexible by 1-2 weeks — ask us about the next combined Iberian / Central European run.

Every quote is fixed in writing after a video survey of the Ireland property. No day-of surprises, no Ireland-agent surcharges, no separate UK delivery invoice.
