Daring to do things the old-fashioned way, our international relocation service ensures we’re always in control of your precious cargo and are accessible when you need us.
We provide a free survey in order to build a bespoke quote tailored to your requirements. We can either visit you in person at your home, or if you prefer, we can conduct a virtual survey online.
Upon your first contact, you will be allocated your own Move Manager who will oversee your move from start to finish. This give you a personal touch and helping you with anything you may need along the way.
With Ann, in her 80s, completing day-to-day quality assurance checks, Matthew and his sister Rachel as directors overseeing the smooth running of the operation, Owen, Matthew’s son on the frontline in Europe and, finally, Owen’s son Rowan showing a keen interest in trucks, the Matthew James passion is stronger than ever!
We are one of the few companies who can safely say that the vast majority of our work is handled in-house by our own crews. Your move will not be outsourced to the cheapest provider, meaning your move remains in our control, every step of the way.
Our company originally provided small domestic relocation services for residents of Chislehurst and the surrounding areas. Even today, local relocations remain a large part of our work with around 75% of our work coming from recommendations.
Typical moves range from a one-day, local removal up to a large, complex move taking a week or more.
Everything we do is tailored to your needs whether you are moving across the street or across the country.
Our company has been accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. We are members of IAM (International Association of Movers), the world’s largest trade association for the global removals industry.
We can arrange a bespoke insurance policy aligned with your Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum service, to ensure that your treasured possessions are covered in the unlikely event of an accident occurring. Please speak to your designated Move Manager who can guide you through this process and advise you accordingly.
Matthew James Removal have been helping families move home locally for over a century. When moving to a new house, it’s helpful to have a specialist to guide and advise you.
