Choosing an International Removals Service:

The Removals Process:

From initial planning to final delivery, the International removals process encompasses several stages, each crucial to a successful relocation:

• One of our experienced estimators will visit you in your home so we can accurately calculate the volume you wish to take and any of your packing requirements. Calculating the correct volume is key to a realistic quotation and the estimator can offer you some invaluable advice in preparation for your move.
• We will arrive at your home to pack and wrap your items ready for shipment over a two-to-three-day period with the container being loaded on the last day and the inventory checked, ready for the container to be locked, sealed and driven to the UK port.
• All of our removals operatives are trained overseas packers and will ensure your goods are safely packed. Other considerations are tailor made crates for items such as pianos, clocks and glass cabinets etc. Your items are then ready to be loaded on to the shipping container or can be put into storage for any amount of time you require.

• Upon arrival in the United Arab Emirates, one of our trusted agents will then take care of your goods and move. All goods entering the UAE are subject to Customs clearance.
• All documentation is processed by Burke Bros. Agents in the UAE are appointed to negotiate on local levels allowing ease of access into the country. Specialist knowledge of this complex subject enables Burke Bros to provide a full comprehensive international service.

Packing and Preparation:

To ensure the safe transit of your belongings, packing and preparation are paramount. This process is not just about placing items into boxes; it involves a strategic approach to protect each item against the rigors of transportation, especially for long distances or international moves. Our professional packing services are designed to offer comprehensive protection for your belongings.

We use quality packing materials and employ techniques that are tailored to the nature of each item, ensuring they are securely wrapped and cushioned. This meticulous attention to detail helps in preventing damage during transportation, providing peace of mind that your items will arrive at their destination in the same condition they left. For those planning an overseas move, especially to locations as far-reaching as the United Arab Emirates, such precautions are invaluable.

Shipping Options:

We offer two main shipping options for international removals: sea freight and air freight. Sea freight is a cost-effective choice for transporting larger volumes of belongings over longer distances, albeit with longer transit times. On the other hand, air freight offers faster delivery but at a higher cost, making it suitable for smaller shipments or urgent relocations to the UAE.

Container Shipping:

If you opt to ship your personal effects to the United Arab Emirates, shipping containers are available in various sizes to accommodate different volumes of goods.  You may require a full 40ft or 20ft container, we also offer part-loads or groupage containers, where you only pay for the space your possessions take up within a container.  We will advise on the most suitable option for your needs.

Insurance

We offer Marine Insurance on all of our international moves that is sufficient to cover your entire move, including cover for the cost of your goods and the cost of the shipment itself, on all effects packed by Burke Bros.

Customs Clearance:

Navigating customs clearance is a vital aspect of international removals to the UAE. Customs regulations vary between countries, and understanding these requirements is crucial to avoid delays or complications. As a professional removal company, we can assist with customs documentation and procedures to ensure a smooth transition of your belongings through customs in both the UK and the United Arab Emirates.

Destination services:

Once your items have been customs cleared our agent’s operations department will arrange a mutually suitable day for delivery to your new home, or your shipment can be placed in to secure storage facilities.

Whether you’re moving to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or any other destination in the United Arab Emirates, their services should include full unwrapping of all furniture items, reassembly of items that require non-specialist attention such as beds and bookcases etc. Other services may be available at an additional cost.

Cost Considerations:

The cost of removals from the UK to the United Arab Emirates depends on various factors, including the volume of belongings, shipping method, destination, and additional services required.
