Why choose Turton's for removals UK to Italy
Moving belongings the length of Europe asks for more than a large vehicle and a rough plan. Turton's is Move Assured accredited, which means the way we work is checked against an independent standard rather than simply claimed.
Our 200+ five-star reviews across Google, Facebook and Trustpilot come from real jobs. Customers consistently pick out the same things: crews who protect the property as carefully as the contents, and a team who pick up the phone when something changes on the day.
ThreeBestRated also places us among South Tyneside's top three moving companies at 114 out of 120 inspection points.
Our uniformed crews carry mattress bags, TV boxes, sofa covers, floor protection, door covers and picture covers as standard on every move, European or domestic. Nothing on that list is an upsell. On a run to Italy your belongings spend days in transit rather than hours, so the protection that goes on in Newcastle is the protection that has to hold all the way to the other end.
What our UK to Italy removals service includes
An Italy move with Turton's is scoped, quoted and run as a single managed job. From first enquiry through to the last box placed in your new home, you deal with one team and one point of contact.
What's included
- Video survey via WhatsApp, Zoom or live call to assess your full volume before we quote
- Detailed planning of the load, so nothing is left behind and nothing travels that should not
- 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 a journey measured in days rather than hours
- Access checked at both ends before the day, covering parking, permits, stairs, lifts and building time windows
- Loading by a uniformed crew using modern, fully equipped vehicles
- Regular communication updates throughout transit
- Unloading, placement and furniture reassembly at your Italian address
- Free no-obligation quote before anything is booked
What's NOT included
- Customs documentation, import declarations, or legal advice on Italian residency, your codice fiscale or tax. Italy is in the EU, but since Brexit a household move from the UK is treated as a third-country import and normally still needs a declaration. You will need a licensed customs agent or legal adviser for that, and the FCDO guide to living in Italy is a sensible place to start
- Guaranteed fixed transit times. Italian delivery windows depend on route, load volume and access at the destination, so we agree a realistic window with you rather than promising a date we cannot control
- Clearance or disposal of items you no longer want before the move. If you need that handled, see our house clearance service
- Storage at the Italian end. Our in-house warehoused storage is UK-based only
How our UK to Italy removals service works
Request a quote
Fill in the online form or call 0191 809 0234 with your UK address, your Italian destination and a rough outline of what needs moving.
Video survey
We walk through the property with you over WhatsApp video, Zoom or a live call, assessing volume and flagging 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 one-bedroom flat to Milan is a different job from a four-bedroom house to rural Sicily.
Packing day
Our crew arrives at your UK property to pack, protect and record every item before anything goes on the vehicle.
Loading and transit
Furniture is dismantled where needed, wrapped and loaded, then driven south with regular updates from our team along the route.
Delivery in Italy
We unload, place items in the rooms you specify and reassemble furniture, then run a final check with you before we leave.
Who this Service is for
This service suits anyone relocating from the UK to Italy on a permanent or semi-permanent basis, whether that is retiring to Tuscany, moving for work in Milan, or making a lifestyle change somewhere quieter.
It covers full household moves from larger family homes, and smaller flat or single-person moves where a part-load option may suit better. If you are departing from Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Durham or Sunderland, you are already inside our primary catchment.
