Britannia Lanes is a family-owned removals and storage company, with operating depots in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Bristol. We are part of the prestigious group of companies that make up Britannia Movers International and are the sole Britannia member for the Southwest. We are also members of the British Association of Removers (BAR) and the Self Storage Association (SSA). We are accredited by QSS for reaching the European Standard for Removals BSEN 12522 and the European Standard for Storage BSEN 14873.
Britannia Lanes have three modern, secure storage facilities throughout the South West. The warehouses are specially designed for containerised storage to minimise handling and to keep your goods clean, dry and secure. Short or long term storage can be provided by us. At point of collection a detailed inventory describing content and condition of your consignment will be produced and a copy left with you. The majority of items in your home will fit in our standard units; however, oversized items such as ladders, carpets and large sofas may be stored separately.
Britannia Lanes of Somerset & Bristol have been four times finalists in the British Association of Removers Domestic Mover of the Year Competition an achievement of which everyone was immensely proud. Along with our sister branches in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset, Britannia Lanes are well placed to help you move to Bristol from anywhere in South West England or beyond. The Bristol operation is overseen by family members and directors Angus Russell and his wife Maria Russell (was Lane) FCCA. Angus spent 24 Years in the industry with some of the other major companies in the UK and joined the company in 2005 after meeting Maria at an industry conference.
Our trained surveyors will discuss vital areas which will assist you in the planning of your business move. We will make sure that the disruption is kept to a minimum. We do this by discussing and addressing your concerns. With our vast experience of office and commercial moving we will have the solutions for what might seem insurmountable problems. During the meeting and survey we discuss a variety of items to make sure your move plan is tailored to you. These will include packing and crate rental; are you asking your own staff to pack their desk contents files; will you need help in packing files from an archive storage area; do you require us to disconnect or connect IT equipment; there maybe a requirement to move some IT before the main move so IT engineers can start installation programme, again keeping disruption to a minimum.
Britannia Lanes offer a regular service to and from Europe, with weekly trips to Belgium, Germany and France, fortnightly to Spain and Portugal but also servicing Holland, Luxembourg, Italy and most mainland destinations. Moves outside mainland Europe can still be catered for, depending on the destination our surveyors will discuss how the move would be carried out. Using the latest road-train vehicles we are able to group consignments. So if you want to move with a full household or just a single item we have it covered.
It is never too early to call one of our branches to request a quotation to move your effects. We will arrange for one of our trained pre-move surveyors to visit you at your home. They will complete a comprehensive pre-move survey so that we can advise you of the most appropriate personal moving plan for you. When you move, the importance of a survey should not be overlooked. It really is an essential factor in ensuring your move runs smoothly from start to finish. The survey is not just a means of finding out how much the move will cost.
