Moving from Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland or anywhere else in the North East to Europe? Turton’s plans the packing, protection and transport for your move, and keeps you updated at every stage. Get in touch for a clear, no-obligation quote.
Moving abroad adds planning that a local move doesn’t need: extra paperwork to think about, a longer drive, and a delivery date that has to work on both sides of the crossing. We’ve built our long-distance removals experience over 30 years of moving North East households across the UK, and we bring the same approach to European moves. One team surveys your move, agrees a plan with you, and handles the packing, loading and transport, so you’re not passed between different crews or depots along the way.
We’re not customs agents or immigration advisers, and we won’t pretend to be. What we do well is the physical move: getting your belongings packed properly, protected for a long journey, and delivered where you need them. For anything customs or paperwork-related, we’ll point you towards the right official guidance so you can get proper advice for your destination country.






We talk through what’s moving, where it’s going, and any access issues at either end, whether that’s a survey in person, over WhatsApp video, or by phone.
Full pack, part pack, or fragile-only. You can also handle your own packing and just take materials from us.
Sofa covers, mattress bags, floor and door protection, and wrapping for fragile and high-value items, used at both the collection and delivery address.
Furniture is dismantled where needed, loaded into our vehicles, and driven to your new address by the same team that packed it.
We agree a plan for delivery with you in advance, including any specific access or timing needs at the other end, and reassemble furniture once we arrive.
Tell us your moving dates and what’s going, and we’ll come back with a straightforward price and no pressure to commit.
Over 30 years moving North East homes across the UK gives us a solid base for planning longer European routes.
Over 200 five-star reviews across Google, Facebook and Trustpilot, plus a spot in ThreeBestRated's top three for South Tyneside.
Specialist covers for sofas, mattresses, doors and floors, used as standard, not an optional extra.
One point of contact throughout, from your first enquiry to delivery day.
Jinxed DefaultTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Moving was very quick and easy and the movers cared a lot about making sure everything was protected. Lovely kind people, and I'm over the moon with the service provided. Would definitely recommend to anyone else looking to move. Sandra wilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were so pleased we used Turtons removals for our house move. They were so professional and did everything they could to make sure we were happy throughout the move. They were so quick despite the amount they had to move, nothing was a bother to them. The 4 lads who did the move for us were amazing. Despite the rain and all the work they had to do they were very cheery and polite throughout. I cannot recommend them enough. Moving is a very traumatic experience and Turtons took away all the stress of moving. I'd give 6 stars if I could Paula BellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well it’s taken me a while to,write this but that’s due to personal circumstances and getting myself sorted. On the 3rd September 2025 I had to move from my property. I chose Turtons to help me. Provide full package and storage facilities. Best decision ever made. 1st of all looked into - researched what I needed. I was moving out of rental property and didn’t have forward accommodation at the time to immediately move into. My mindset. - everything under one roof and package. Pack / move / store all in one. One family run company. Surely that would be smooth and without complication. Any hiccups resolved under one roof. 🤔 Well the day came with apprehension 😏😢 I was living in a flat 4 floors up with no lift. It was not going to be any easy task for whoever was going to allocated this move. Believe me. !! 😏😏😏 On the day I was met by Connor and Sean 👋 their hearts sank 😏😢😂 I understand why 😏 Moving forward. These 2 guys - well what can you say 🤷♀️ they were absolutely amazing. They worked so hard. They chatted to me, had banter, professional at all times even through difficult times. Guys you absolutely smashed my move out of the park. Your working day was epic. You are an absolute credit to yourselves and to the company Turtons. Long may you strive and I’m sure it will in every way. Thank you 🙏 x TraceyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing service from start to finish! The team were friendly, professional, and incredibly patient while we had delays moving into our new house. They were flexible with times, nothing was too much trouble and the singing wasn’t too bad either! 😄 Would 100% recommend them and will definitely be using them again for any future removals. Thanks so much to Laura, Ben, and all the lads who helped on the day, you were brilliant! Susan BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The team who moved my sister-in-law on 14th October were absolutely brilliant. They handled all of her belongings with care and made sure that they and the property she was moving out of and the new address were well protected. Their cheerful, competent and polite manner made a stressful situation so much more manageable and we could not give them a higher recommendation. Thank you! Sue LaidlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic firm! Ben and his team took away all my moving day stress with their happy vibes, daft banter and singing and I can’t thank them enough. Not the cheapest firm but worth every single penny.
