Why choose Turton's for removals UK to Portugal
A move to Portugal asks more of the preparation than of the driving. Turton's is Move Assured accredited, so how we handle and protect your belongings is checked against an independent standard rather than simply asserted.
Our 200+ five-star reviews across Google, Facebook and Trustpilot come from real households across the North East.
ThreeBestRated also places us among South Tyneside's top three moving companies at 114 out of 120 inspection points.
Portugal is the far corner of western Europe. Your belongings will spend longer on the road than on any other route we run, which means every item gets wrapped and secured as though it will be handled several times, because on a journey that length it may be. Mattress bags, TV boxes, sofa covers, floor protection, door covers and picture covers go on as standard, domestic or European, and none of it is charged as an extra.
What our UK to Portugal removals service includes
A Portugal move with Turton's is quoted and planned as a single managed job rather than a chain of hand-offs. From your first enquiry to the moment we carry the last item into your new property, you have one team and one point of contact.
What's included
- Video survey via WhatsApp, Zoom or live call so we can assess your full volume before quoting
- Detailed inventory planning, so nothing is loaded that should not be and nothing is left behind
- Full pack, part pack, or fragile-only packing options to suit your situation
- Mattress bags, TV boxes, sofa covers, floor protection, door covers and picture covers included as standard
- Fragile and high-value items wrapped individually for the longest road route we run
- Access checked at both ends before the day, covering parking, gradients, narrow streets, stairs and lifts
- Loading by a uniformed crew using modern, fully equipped vehicles
- Furniture dismantling and reassembly included as standard
- Regular communication updates throughout transit
- Unloading and placement at your Portuguese address
- Free no-obligation quote before anything is booked
What's NOT included
- Customs documentation, import declarations, or advice on Portuguese residency, your NIF tax number or tax position. Portugal is in the EU, so a household move from the UK is treated as a third-country import and normally needs a declaration. A relief exists for people transferring their normal residence, but whether it applies to you and what it requires is yours to confirm with a licensed customs agent or adviser. The FCDO guide to living in Portugal is a sensible starting point
- Guaranteed fixed transit times. Portuguese timings depend on route, volume and access at the delivery address, so we agree a realistic window at survey stage rather than promising a date we cannot hold
- Clearance of items you no longer want. If you need a pre-move clearance, see our house clearance service
- Storage at the Portuguese end. Our in-house warehoused storage is UK-based only
How our UK to Portugal removals service works
Request a quote
Fill in the online form or call 0191 809 0234 and tell us your UK address, your Portuguese destination and an outline of what is moving.
Virtual survey
We carry out a virtual survey over WhatsApp video, Zoom or a live call to assess full volume and flag any access or specialist-item considerations at both ends.
Written quote
You receive a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras. We do not publish fixed prices, because a studio flat to Faro is a very different job from a five-bedroom house to Porto.
Packing day
Our crew arrives at your UK property to pack, protect and record every item before anything is loaded.
Loading and transit
Furniture is dismantled where needed, wrapped and secured for the long haul south, with regular updates from our team along the route.
Delivery in Portugal
We unload, place items in the rooms you specify and reassemble furniture, then run a final inventory check with you.
Who this Service is for
This service suits anyone relocating permanently or semi-permanently from the UK to Portugal, whether that is retiring to the Algarve, moving for work, or making a lifestyle change on the Silver Coast.
It works for full household moves from larger family homes, and equally for smaller flats or single-person moves where a part-load may be the better option on a route this long.
If you are moving from Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Gateshead, Durham or Sunderland, you are already in our primary departure catchment.
