About us
At Ashton & Warnock we offer a bespoke service transporting full or part loads to and from Europe and especially the South of France where we have many clients with second homes. Over the past 30 years we have built up an extensive experience in European household, antiques and fine art moves.
We regularly cover France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Holland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany and Denmark.
When we undertake your job we are in sole charge of your possessions from start to finish & deliver them at an agreed time on an agreed day to an agreed location. Your goods do not change hands several times at several depots or get grouped together with many other customers’ items. We pick it up, we drive it and we see you there at the other end, so we are personally responsible for your possessions from start to finish.
It is this reliability, experience, attention to detail and personal service which is key to why our client base has grown through word of mouth, and is so varied, from private clients to businesses, including interior designers, antique and fine art dealers.
We can provide all packing materials and a full packing / export wrapping service to meet your requirements.
Each load is fully insured to your requirements.
We have a large secure storage facility so items can be collected prior to delivery date offering clients much greater flexibility. Short and long term storage available.
Suffolk/London/Suffolk
We are based near Woodbridge in Suffolk, but a large proportion of our work is in London, so we have vehicles travelling to and from London 3+ times a week. This has helped us to establish London based clients with second homes in Suffolk/Norfolk or Suffolk based clients who work/live in London during the week.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of help to you or if you would like to discuss any of our services.
We would be delighted to supply references upon request.
UK/Europe/UK
We collect & deliver anywhere in UK and collect & deliver Europe wide.
Our Vehicles
We use many different sized vehicles in our business but we generally use four standard sizes to carry out most of our work, enabling us to overcome access problems
Medium Wheel Base (MWB) Transit and Sprinter Van
Long Wheel Base (LWB) Transit and Sprinter Van
3.5 Tonne Luton Van - with tail lift
7.5 Tonne Luton Lorry - with tail lift
Monte-meubles / Furniture Lift
Where access is difficult we often arrange for a monte-meubles / furniture lift to be on site to greatly facilitate the moving of items to and from upper floors. This is also often a requirement of the management company of a building who do not allow the use of internal passenger lifts and stairs for domestic removals.
What Our Clients Say
Ally offered a totally stress free, perfectly organised service from start to finish. His excellent communication meant I was informed at every stage of the journey.
With COViD restrictions We weren’t able to take delivery in person in France but Ally liaised with our local contacts to make sure the furniture was not only safely delivered in time but also in perfect condition.
We will definitely be employing Ally’s company again. They are 100 per cent reliable, trustworthy, friendly and above all organised. Exactly what we needed and more!”
