Why do removal companies ask about cubic metres? 📦

When planning an international move, how much space your belongings take up is a key part of the quote.

A sofa can weigh less than a small, heavy item while taking up much more room in the vehicle. That’s why the weight alone doesn’t tell us the size of your move.

What does this mean for you?

• Large, lightweight items still take up valuable space.
• Dismantling suitable furniture can reduce the space it needs.
• Showing us everything you plan to move helps us prepare an accurate quote.

Volume matters, but it isn’t the only factor. The route, access to both properties, packing services and any items requiring special handling also affect the final price.

At JCL, we assess what you’re moving through a detailed pre-move survey or an online video survey, so we can plan the right space and services before moving day.

Before you leave your place, pack one box that stays close to you throughout the move.
It’s the last box you pack - and the first one you open when you arrive.

Your first-open box should include the essentials you’ll need before everything else is unpacked:
– phone chargers + an extension lead,
– toothbrushes,
– a change of clothes for the next 2–3 days,
– essential medication,
– important documents, such as passports, rental agreements and insurance papers,
– some cash in the local currency.

This box should travel with you or stay easily accessible, not disappear somewhere at the back of the load.
It’s a small thing, but after a long moving day, having everything you need in one place makes a huge difference.
What would you add to your own “survival box”?

Before the moving team starts loading your belongings, take a few photos 📸

Not because you should expect something to go wrong. Quite the opposite. It’s simply a smart way to keep your own record of the condition of your belongings before the move.

Take photos of:
– larger furniture from different angles
– electronics, including screens, backs and cables
– mirrors, artwork and frames
– valuable or sentimental items travelling with us
– numbered boxes once everything is packed

Your phone will usually keep the date and other details in the file metadata, so you automatically have a clear record from before moving day.

At JCL, we also prepare a detailed inventory for every move, so your photos work alongside our documentation.

And while we take every step to make sure your belongings are handled carefully from collection to delivery, having your own photos gives you that extra bit of reassurance.

Your belongings matter to you, so they matter to us too 💡

A lot of people assume their car can simply travel with the rest of their belongings. In reality, moving a vehicle from the UK to the EU involves a separate customs process 🤔

👉🏻 For the UK export side, you’ll need to make sure the vehicle paperwork is sorted before the move, including the relevant DVLA and export formalities.

👉🏻 Once the car arrives in the EU, the rules depend on the country you’re moving to. Each country has its own requirements and deadlines for registering a UK vehicle locally.

👉🏻 One important thing to keep in mind: if you’re applying for customs relief as part of your move, your car will usually need to have been owned and used by you for at least 6 months before relocating.

We can coordinate the export documentation for your vehicle and, where possible, transport your car together with your household belongings.

The key is planning it in advance so all the paperwork is ready before moving day ✅

If you’re planning to move to Europe and want to take your car with you, ask us about this option when requesting your quote 🔽

The inventory is not paperwork for us 🔽
It's protection for you. Every item that leaves your property goes onto a numbered inventory - what it is, what condition it was in, which box it's in.
👉🏻 You receive a copy before the van closes.
This document does three things: At customs, it's the basis for your import declaration. Without a detailed inventory, customs officers can't assess your Transfer of Residence Relief application correctly.
For insurance, it's your evidence. If a claim is made for damage or loss, the inventory is the record of what left your property. At delivery, it's your checklist.
Any discrepancy is documented at that point - not a week later.

✅ We complete a full written inventory on every move we carry out.

Moving to Catalonia is not the same as moving to Spain 💡
Administratively, you're still registering with Spanish authorities -
empadronamiento, NIE, Seguridad Social. But Catalonia has a strong
regional identity, and practical things reflect that: some local councils operate primarily in Catalan, and correspondence from regional bodies often comes in Catalan first ✅

Logistically, Barcelona deserves specific mention. The old town has streets too narrow for a standard removal lorry. Many buildings require prior notification to neighbours and sometimes council permits for a crane or lift. The coastal areas -
Sitges, Lloret de Mar, Roses - are more accessible but have their
own seasonal restrictions.
None of this is insurmountable. It just needs to be planned.
If you're moving to Barcelona, Girona, Tarragona, or anywhere along the Costa Brava, tell us the exact delivery address when you enquire ✅

How do you verify that a removal company is actually who they say
they are? 🤔
The removal industry has no universal regulator. Anyone
with a van can offer removals services.
That's why industry bodies exist - and why membership of them means something. 👉🏻 JCL Transport Group is a member of the International Association of
Movers (IAM) - one of the largest professional associations in the
global moving industry, with members in over 170 countries.
We're also members of Move Assured, the UK-based quality scheme for
removal companies, and the GEM Movers Network.

What this means practically: companies seeking membership are assessed against
professional standards.
💡 IAM membership can be verified directly on their website.
💡 Move Assured members agree to a code of practice and
offer dispute resolution.
When you're comparing quotes, ask each company which professional bodies they belong to - and check the membership on the body's own website 💡

Moving day works best when both sides are ready!
Here's what makes the difference:
👉🏻 The evening before: set aside an essentials bag you're
taking in the car. Everything you'll need for the first two or three days
- chargers, documents, medication. Once it's in the bag, it doesn't go in any box.
👉🏻 On the morning: take meter readings before the crew
arrives and photograph them. Clear a path through each room. If
there's a lift in the building, reserve it if possible.
👉🏻 Parking matters more than people expect. A 7.5t or 18t lorry needs to park outside your property for several hours. If your street requires a parking permit or
suspension, arrange it with your local council at least two weeks
ahead.
👉🏻 Have someone present for the full collection. This person
signs off the inventory - your record of what left the property and in
what condition.

Most people know JCL on the UK to Poland route 🇵🇱🇬🇧
Fewer know we run it in the other direction too.
If you're moving from Poland to the UK - whether you're returning after time in Poland, relocating for work, or bringing family belongings - the customs process now works the same way in reverse:
✔️ EU export documentation on the Polish side,
✔️ UK import clearance on arrival.

Our team includes Polish-speaking consultants who manage both sides of the paperwork.
The same standards apply:
✔️ full inventory,
✔️ fixed quote,
✔️ customs cleared in-house.
