Over 149 years Experience Behind Every Move...

Over's has been synonymous with national and international removals since the company's inception by R P Over in Hampshire in 1857, at the time of the horse drawn cart. Initially operating clothing department stores and grocery shops as well as a delivery service, Over's embraced the local community. In fact, people were just as likely to buy their child's school uniform as they were hire Over's to move their belongings to another town.

Grass Roots Traditions

Continuing on the principles built on the traditional values established 149 years ago by R.P. Over, we place great importance to delivering a friendly ‘local-company' service and attitude, coupled with our growing reputation and growing global resources in international removals. Naturally, removals quickly became the company's focus, growing through the generations to become one of the largest and best-known, privately-owned worldwide relocation companies in the UK.

We've adapted to meet today's exacting standards in the international removals and secure storage industry; moving thousands of satisfied homeowners and businesses every year. Talk to one of our experienced relocation consultants today to discover how we can help take the headache out of your home or business move.

A Rich History In Domestic Removals

International removals are just one part of our business. Local removals are also a primary feature of our business, with many of our domestic removals customers are based in Hampshire, Surrey, London and the Home Counties. Over the years, Over's has been involved with many interesting removals requirements across the UK. We were actively involved in assisting the armed forces during World War I and II; moving heavy equipment around the UK. We also helped move the salvaged contents out of Windsor Castle after the great blaze of 1992.

Experience & Expertise When It Matters Most

Over's take the logistical nightmare out of moving. We assign an experienced team member to deal with your move, giving you one point-of-contact. Our team is fully-qualified and knowledgeable with international removals, logistics, regulation, customs restrictions and documentation.

For example, we boast specialised removal vehicles and lifting equipment; packaging and storage facilities that leave nothing to chance; and staff who have been specially trained to make moving home as straight forward as possible. Of course, moving house may never rank as your favourite experience, but with Over's you will enjoy peace of mind and benefit from our personal and caring removals service.

A Pioneer Of Moving By Road

Over's long ago became a UK leader in removals by road to mainland Europe; - whether moving a family's home contents to France; a small business to Europe by road; or the entire relocation of a company's content to Canada, the USA or beyond. We move customers' goods across Europe with our own removal vehicles and crews, whether as a part-load (with other consignees) or dedicated service (entire contents on their own designated vehicle).

Taking The Headache Out Of International Removals

Our full destination service takes the stress out of moving abroad. It's essential to work with suppliers who share our values and principles. Our partnerships with reputable shipping lines, including P&O and Maersk, allow us to provide a shipping service to nearly every country that has a port.

We have excellent working relations with reputable shipping companies who handle customs clearance, documentation, coordination of delivery, unpacking, removal of debris, etc. We ensure a truly full-destination, UK-based, international removals service.

Through our network of overseas moving partners, we offer a weekly service to and from mainland Europe, predominantly covering removals to France, Spain and Portugal. We also cover many other European countries as required, including removals to Germany, Sweden, Italy, Turkey, Holland, Norway, Denmark as well as removals to emerging countries like Bulgaria and the Czech Republic.

Shipping Overseas

Over's provide a weekly shipping relocation service to USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Cyprus, Malta, Greece and United Arab Emirates to name a few. We also ensure a full out-turn/ delivery report confirming everything has arrived safely.

Full Liability Cover

Naturally, Over's provide full liability cover to our customers moving overseas - meaning your goods and personal effects will be covered for the duration of the move, from start to finish.

Secure Container Storage

Many years ago, storage was typically packed loosely on pallets. Over's changed this trend by pioneering secure containerised storage in the 1960's – arguably now the most common methods of storing household personal effects. Over's have two secure purpose-built containerised storage warehouse facilities near their Hampshire HQ, incorporating the latest fire and security systems. Our secure storage service is geared to those requiring a totally flexible storage solution.

Quality Control – Iso 9002

Your feedback is very important to us. Each customer receives a questionnaire which is monitored by our quality control team to ensure the success of every move. As part of our programme of continual improvement, Over's International has been awarded British Standards Institute ISO 9001:2000 accreditation.
