Wallonia is the French-speaking southern half of Belgium. In French it's la Wallonie. It isn't as well-known to UK movers as Flanders or Brussels. But it's a great place to live. It's five provinces: Liège, Hainaut, Namur, Walloon Brabant and Luxembourg. The main cities are Liège, Charleroi, Mons, Namur and Waterloo. The region is less built up than Flanders. It's more green space and lower house prices in most areas. The pace of life is slower. That's a big draw for UK movers. It's a good place to be. Ask anyone who lives there. They'll say the same thing.
Wallonia borders France to the south and west, Luxembourg to the south-east and Germany to the east. That makes it a hub for people working across borders. Arlon sits close to Luxembourg City. Liège is close to the German border at Eupen. Waterloo and Wavre are popular with Brussels expats who want space without losing the city.
The route from the UK is straightforward. The van crosses via Le Shuttle from Folkestone to Calais in about 35 minutes. From Calais it enters Belgium via the E40 or E42 and heads south towards the Walloon cities. Liège is about two and a half hours from Calais. Charleroi and Mons are about two hours. Most Walloon cities are within three hours of the crossing.
Wallonia is French-speaking. All letters, signs and forms are in French. Give your mover the full four-digit Belgian postcode and your street address from the start. A clear brief gets a fast, accurate quote.
We connect your request with one FIDI-certified trusted partner mover for the UK to Wallonia route. We aren't a removal company. The service is free.
We cover all of Wallonia. Every city, town and village in the French-speaking south. Here are the main centres, grouped by province. Click a city for full access notes, driving times and a city-specific quote.
If your Walloon town or village isn't listed above, we still cover it. All of Wallonia is in scope.
Give us the four-digit Belgian postcode and your full address. The partner mover will know it.
Wallonia doesn't have low-emission zones in the same way as Antwerp and Ghent in Flanders. Most Walloon cities have standard access for removal vans. The older city centres in Liège, Namur and Mons have narrow streets near the historic core. Give your mover the full street address so they can check.
In Wallonia, local administration is handled by the commune. Parking bay suspensions and loading permits are requested at the local commune in advance. Your mover knows this process and handles it as part of the delivery plan. Just tell them the full address and your preferred delivery date early in the process.
For rural addresses in the Ardennes or Luxembourg province, roads can be narrow. A smaller van may be needed for the last mile. Always note this in your request. Arlon is close to Luxembourg City. The approach from the east via Liège is sometimes better than going south from Brussels. Your mover will plan the right route.
Waterloo, Wavre and Rhode-Saint-Genèse in Walloon Brabant are close to Brussels and have good suburban access. These are popular with UK expats moving to the Brussels area. They're easy to deliver to.
A removal from the UK to Wallonia is a Belgian import. Belgian VAT is 21%. It applies to the declared value of your goods unless you qualify for relief.
EU removal goods relief via SPF Finances removes that VAT and duty on your used personal goods. To qualify, you must be moving your main home to Belgium. Your goods must have been owned and used for at least six months. SPF Finances is the federal body that handles this in Belgium. Relief does not apply to second homes or to goods bought new for the move.
Your FIDI-certified partner mover files the SPF Finances paperwork on your behalf. You need a full, valued inventory of all goods and proof of your Walloon address. If documents are late, a bond of about 10% duty plus 21% VAT may be held. It is refunded once your Belgian address is confirmed. Start this early. Ask your mover what they need. It takes two minutes and it saves a lot of hassle.
Belgium uses the euro. The UK uses sterling. Your removal quote will be in pounds, but your Belgian costs after you arrive are in euros. This matters if you're buying, paying a deposit or setting up a big rental. Plan it before you land. Not after.
International Removals Companies works with currency exchange partners. We don't provide currency exchange ourselves. Need to convert sterling to euro? We can connect you with a currency partner. No cost. No cost. No obligation.

Tell us the from and the to, your rough load and your date. That is the whole first step.
We match you to one mover who knows your route. One, not ten. They call and quote. The service is free.
They pack, load, cross to Belgium and unload at your new home. You can leave the lifting to them.
They also deal with customs. You file nothing yourself. We connect you; the mover moves you. That is the whole idea.
Good movers plan ahead. They book the crossing. They check the road on both sides. They bring the right boxes and wrap for your things. On the day they pack, load and go. You do not need to lift a thing.
Ask for a survey first. A survey is free. The mover sees your home. They count what you have. Then the quote is right, and there are no shocks on the day. A video survey works well too, if you are short on time.
Plan your dates with care. The busy months are June, July and August. Book early if you can. A quiet week can cost less. Your mover will tell you the best time for your route. Just ask. They are glad to help you plan.
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.
