Walton International Movers handles removals to Germany from the UK, collecting across Essex and delivering to your new German address. Family-run for over 30 years, our team works from Oldbury Barn, Great Wakering, near Southend-on-Sea, and Germany is one of our most active European corridors. Road freight is the default, groupage runs depart regularly, and honesty, care and communication shape everything we do, from the first survey to delivery in Germany.
We collect from Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Rayleigh, Wickford, Rochford, Canvey Island and Leigh-on-Sea, and from across the wider county.
As Dedicated International Removals Specialists, we manage the whole move with our own crew, from Export Grade Packing Materials at collection through to delivery at your German address. We do not hand the job to a third-party driver once the van leaves Essex. Germany is one of our highest-frequency European routes, so groupage loads depart regularly, which usually means shorter lead times than less-travelled destinations. Customs & Documentation Support is handled in-house as part of the service.
The right option depends on your load size and how firm you need the delivery date to be.
A dedicated vehicle is the practical choice for a full household. Your belongings fill the van, cross to Germany and deliver directly to your new address, and you get a firmer delivery date because the vehicle is not waiting on other shipments.
A shared, or groupage, load brings the cost down for smaller moves. Your goods are individually wrapped, inventoried and kept separate, and they travel alongside other shipments on the same corridor. The trade-off is a wider delivery window, because the vehicle departs once it has a viable load. Groupage is a well-established model for UK to Germany moves and suits studio flats, single-room moves and any load that does not fill a van.
| Move size | Usual option | Delivery window | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed | Groupage | Wider | Departs once the load is viable |
| Two to three-bed | Groupage or dedicated | Moderate | Dedicated if your date is tight |
| Four-bed or office | Dedicated vehicle | Firmer | Direct run, no shared drops |
We assess volume at survey and recommend the right option. We do not push a dedicated vehicle where groupage is the better fit.
This is a European move, so it links to our European removals service, , and it sits within our wider international removals work. We collect for Germany runs across Essex, including Southend-on-Sea, Chelmsford and Basildon. Weighing up the wider region? We also handle removals to Switzerland from Essex.
Overseas moves slip, and completion dates abroad do not always line up with the date you leave your Essex home. If your new property in Germany is not ready, we can hold your belongings in indoor wooden containerised storage at our Great Wakering warehouse. It is handled by our team, not a self-access facility, with short and long-term options, so your goods stay secure until Germany is ready to receive them.
Several things shape the price, which is why we quote after a survey rather than publish a figure:
Get a quote for your Germany move or call our Essex team on 01268 783244. Tell us your collection address, your German destination, your target date and the approximate size of your move, and we will come back with a clear price, with confidence, clarity and support at every stage.
It depends on volume, whether you use groupage or a dedicated vehicle, access at both ends and your destination in Germany. A one-bedroom groupage move costs considerably less than a full-house dedicated run. We do not publish fixed prices because every move differs, so the accurate figure comes from a free survey.

Either. We offer full, partial or fragile-only packing using export grade materials rated for road transit across borders. Full packing means our crew boxes everything to a labelled, room-by-room plan, usually the day before departure. Partial packing means you handle the everyday items and we take the furniture and fragile pieces. We confirm the scope at survey.
