Roeselare sits in West Flanders, not far from the French border. It is one of the quicker Belgian cities to reach from the UK. Most moves take the Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Calais. The crossing is 35 minutes. Then it is about an hour and three quarters of motorway to Roeselare.
The Dover to Dunkirk ferry with DFDS is a good fit, as Dunkirk is close by. Dover to Calais also works well. Your partner mover picks the best crossing for your UK postcode and date.
Roeselare is a busy West Flanders city with a strong food and farming trade. It is home to the Rodenbach brewery and a big food industry. The city sits in a flat, green farming area. Many moves here are for food, logistics and family life. International Removals Companies is a free matching service. We do not move your things ourselves.

Roeselare has a compact centre around its market square and belfry. The streets here can be narrow. A big lorry cannot always reach the door, so your mover may use a smaller van for the last stretch.
Many homes in the centre are town houses with narrow stairs. For big items, your mover may use a furniture lift up to a window. They check the way in with you first.
Outside the centre, the city is open and flat, with wide roads, houses and easy parking. A lot of Roeselare moves are simple to reach. Tell your mover the exact address and floor, so the right van is set up before the day. The city has good road links across West Flanders, which keeps it busy for work and trade.
These are rough planning guides for a UK to Roeselare move. The real figure depends on volume, both addresses and access. Roeselare is close to the crossings, so a part-load can be very good value.

These are rough planning guides in pounds. Belgium uses the euro, so set-up costs on arrival are paid in euros. Your matched mover gives a firm quote after a survey.
Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Belgium is treated as an import into the EU. Your goods need customs clearance when they arrive.
You can claim relief from import duty and VAT on your belongings. This is the EU removal-goods rule, known as transfer of residence. The Belgian authority is the Federal Public Service Finance. That is the SPF Finances in French, the FOD Financiën in Dutch. The standard Belgian VAT rate is 21%.
To qualify you must have owned and used the items for at least six months. You must also be moving your main home to Belgium. Household goods come in free of duty within one year of your move. Belgium gives no relief for a second home. The move must be of your main home.
Is your paperwork not complete? Customs may ask for a bond of about 10% duty plus 21% VAT. You get it back within about six months once you show your note of residence. Your mover prepares the inventory and files the entry. You cannot file it yourself. Bring a full valued inventory. Bring proof you have left your UK address. Bring proof of your new Belgian address. Bring your passport.
FIDI FAIM is the top quality standard for international removal companies. A mover earns it through an Ernst and Young audit. The audit checks more than 200 criteria, every three years. For a Roeselare move, that means your mover knows the short West Flanders route, the city access and the Belgian customs process.

Dutch. Roeselare is in West Flanders, the Dutch-speaking north of Belgium. English is widely understood. But Dutch is the local language for day-to-day life.
Not if you qualify for transfer-of-residence relief. It removes import duty and the 21% Belgian VAT. It applies to belongings you have owned for at least six months. Your mover files the claim for you.
Yes, one of the quicker ones. It is close to the French border and the crossings, so a London move is often a short day's drive. That keeps both the time and the cost down.
A dedicated vehicle from London to Roeselare usually takes one to two days. Roeselare is close to the crossings, so it is one of the quicker routes. A shared part-load takes three to seven days.
As a guide, a one-bedroom part-load is around £700 to £1,400. A two to three-bedroom home is around £2,000 to £3,600 or more. Roeselare is close to the UK, which helps keep costs down. These are rough figures.

We match you with one vetted mover. Just one. They call you. They look at the move. They give you a quote. It is free. There is no catch.
They pack your things. They load the van. They take the ferry or the tunnel. They drive to Belgium. They bring it to your new home.
They also do the customs papers. You do not file a thing. FIDI FAIM means they pass a strict audit. No shortcuts. You are in safe hands.
It starts well before the day. Your mover books the crossing and checks the route both sides of the sea. They arrive with the right kit, wrap your things with care, then pack and load. You watch it happen, hands free.
Get the survey done early. It is free, and it makes the quote accurate. The mover sees the stairs, the doors and the big items. No nasty shocks later. If time is tight, a video survey works just as well.
Be smart with timing. June to August is the rush. Book early for those months. A quieter week often costs less. Ask your mover when the best time to move on your route is. They will know. A little planning saves you money.
Gather your documents into one folder. You need them for customs clearance. Write a list of your belongings, and mark the valuable items such as a laptop or jewellery. Your mover helps you fill in the paperwork.
Prepare a first-night bag. Inside, keep your keys, phone, chargers, any medicines and a change of clothes. Seal your boxes with good tape and label each with its room. Setting up the new home is far quicker that way.
Let your mover know about access. Mention stairs, lifts, narrow doors or big furniture that comes apart. Early notice makes the day run well. Ask anything you are unsure about. Good movers are glad to help. They do this every day. A short call now saves trouble later.
