Walton International Movers has been handling long-distance removals from Essex for over 30 years. Our team is based at Oldbury Barn, Great Wakering, near Southend-on-Sea, and we run regular routes to destinations across the UK. Long-distance removals cover moves within the UK. If you are moving overseas from Essex, that is handled by our service instead.
A long-distance removal is any move within the UK where the journey takes the crew well outside the local area, typically 50 miles or more, from Essex to Scotland, the Midlands, the North West, Wales or the South West.
We handle the full move: collection from your current address, transit to your new property, and delivery and placement at the other end. Packing, furniture dismantling, and are all available as part of the same service.

Family-run for over 30 years, Walton International Movers operates from a fixed base at Oldbury Barn, Great Wakering, SS3 0PS. We are a fully insured business.
For UK-wide moves specifically:
If you're moving into Europe or overseas, we make long‑distance relocations simple. From secure export packing to managing logistics and paperwork, our team ensures your belongings arrive safely - wherever life takes you.
We cover moves from Essex to any UK destination. Common routes include Essex to Scotland, the North West, the Midlands, Wales and the South West, but if your route is not on our list we still cover it. Call 01268 783244 to confirm your specific route.
We recommend contacting us at least four to six weeks before your target date. Peak periods such as summer and end of month book up faster, so the earlier you get in touch the better if your date is fixed.
For a long-haul move it usually is, because items spend longer in transit and take more road movement. We offer full, partial and fragile-only packing using materials rated for long-distance travel. Tell us what you need when you request a quote and we will fold it into the price.
We offer containerised wooden storage at our Southend-on-Sea base, handled by our team rather than a customer-access facility. Short and long-term options are available, so include your storage requirement in your quote request and we will build it into the plan.
If your destination is in Europe or further abroad, we move you into our international removals service, handling road, sea, and air freight plus customs paperwork and documentation in-house. The route and timeline depend on your destination, so tell us where you are heading.
Every move is priced individually on property size, volume, distance, services required, and access at both ends. We do not publish fixed rates because they would rarely reflect the actual job. Request a quote or call 01268 783244 and we will give you a clear price based on your specific move.
