VerifiedGet matched with vetted international mover We match you with only accredited partner for your route: fewer calls, less stress, and a clearer quote.
In short: A move from the UK to Mallow is matched to one FIDI-certified partner mover, free and with no obligation to book. Goods travel by ferry and road, usually via the Holyhead to Dublin Port crossing. Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Mallow is an EU import, so Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076 can remove import duty and the 23% Irish VAT when you qualify.
Part-load (shared) and full-load options are available, with customs handled on Form C&E 1076 through Revenue.
A move to Mallow from the UK uses the south Wales to Rosslare crossings as the primary route for vans from south Wales and southern England. Pembroke to Rosslare Europort, run by Irish Ferries, takes about 4 hours. Fishguard to Rosslare, run by Stena Line, takes about 3 hours 30 minutes. From Rosslare, the road to Mallow via Waterford and Cork on the N25 and N20 is about 210 kilometres, a drive of roughly 2 to 2.5 hours. For vans from the Midlands or north of England, the Holyhead to Dublin Port crossing followed by the M8 to Cork and the N20 north is an alternative route.
Mallow is the main commercial and services town of north County Cork, about 35 kilometres north of Cork city on the N20. It sits on the River Blackwater, the second largest river in Ireland. The town has a distinctive Georgian character. In 1724, medicinal spring water was discovered in Mallow and the town became a fashionable spa resort, attracting visitors from across Ireland and Britain who modelled themselves on the society of Bath in Somerset. The Spa House of 1828, built over the original spring, survives as a landmark.
Mallow Castle, at the centre of town, stands on the site of an earlier medieval fortification. The current castle was built between 1584 and 1599 by Sir Thomas Norrys. It is a national monument. The town has a Victorian and Georgian commercial streetscape and the River Blackwater runs along its southern edge.

Mallow has a Georgian and Victorian town centre and good N20 access from Cork. The town centre can be congested. Modern estates have clear van access.
Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Mallow is an EU import. Revenue’s Transfer of Residence relief, claimed on Form C&E 1076, removes import duty and the 23% Irish VAT on used personal belongings if you qualify. Your FIDI-certified partner mover files the form on your behalf about two weeks before your goods arrive.
The Common Travel Area covers people, not goods. Your household goods still go through the customs process when they arrive from Great Britain. Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076, not the Common Travel Area, is what removes the import duty and the 23% Irish VAT.
To qualify, you generally need to have owned and used the goods for at least six months and be establishing permanent residence in Ireland. After arriving in Mallow, apply for a PPS number — the Personal Public Service number — at your local Intreo centre. You will need it for Revenue, banking and most official matters. Always include the Eircode for your delivery address in the enquiry. In rural areas and townlands, the Eircode is how the mover finds the correct property. North Cork rural addresses include many townlands along the River Blackwater valley and the surrounding hills. The P51 Eircode routing key covers Mallow and the immediate north Cork area. Fermoy to the east and Mitchelstown to the north-east are separate north Cork towns with their own access conditions. For any County Cork delivery, confirm the full address and Eircode before the mover confirms the vehicle size and approach route. The N20 and N72 give Mallow good road connections in all directions.
The Republic of Ireland uses the euro (EUR), not sterling. Moving to Mallow means moving into a euro economy. Deposits, local charges and day-to-day costs are all in euro once you arrive.
International Removals Companies works with currency exchange partners. We do not provide currency exchange ourselves. If you need to convert sterling to euro, we can connect you with a partner who can help. This is separate from the removals service and carries no obligation. The Common Travel Area covers people, not goods. Your household goods still need Transfer of Residence customs relief under Form C&E 1076. After arriving in Mallow, you will need a PPS number for Revenue and banking. Apply at your local Intreo centre.

FIDI FAIM is the main quality standard for international removal companies. Partner movers pass an independent audit by Ernst and Young every three years, covering more than 200 quality checks. For a move that crosses an EU customs border, that standard matters. FIDI-certified movers have experience with EU customs documentation and can advise on the Transfer of Residence process.
Moves to Mallow from south Wales or southern England use the Pembroke to Rosslare crossing (about 4 hours, Irish Ferries) or the Fishguard to Rosslare crossing (about 3 hours 30 minutes, Stena Line). From Rosslare, the road to Mallow via Cork and the N20 is about 210 kilometres. For vans from the Midlands or north of England, the Holyhead to Dublin Port crossing followed by the M8 to Cork and the N20 north is a competitive alternative.
Mallow is a town in north County Cork on the River Blackwater. In 1724, the discovery of a medicinal spring in Mallow transformed the town into a fashionable spa resort. Visitors came from across Ireland and Britain. The town’s Georgian social set, known as the Rakes of Mallow, gave it a reputation for lively social life and card parties. The Spa House of 1828, designed by George Pain, was built over the original spring and survives as a renovated landmark building, now housing the local tourist office. Mallow Castle, at the centre of town, stands on the site of an earlier medieval fortification. The current castle was built between 1584 and 1599 by Sir Thomas Norrys and is now a national monument. The Victorian and Georgian streetscape reflects the town’s prosperous spa-era past.
Mallow town centre is organised around the Main Street and the River Blackwater to the south. The older Victorian and Georgian streets in the centre can be narrower than modern estate roads. The N72, which runs through the town east-west, carries significant traffic. Modern residential estates on the outskirts of Mallow, on the Cork Road and Killarney Road, have standard road access. For deliveries to the historic town centre or to older terrace properties, confirm the approach road and parking before the mover books the vehicle.
Transfer of Residence relief is claimed on Form C&E 1076 from Revenue. It removes Customs Duty and the 23% Irish VAT on used personal belongings when you move your home to Ireland from outside the EU. Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Mallow is an EU import. Your FIDI-certified partner mover files the form on your behalf about two weeks before your goods arrive. Check revenue.ie for the current conditions.

The Common Travel Area covers people, not goods. Your household goods still go through the customs process when they arrive in Ireland from Great Britain. Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076, not the Common Travel Area, is what removes the import duty and the 23% Irish VAT.
An Eircode is the Irish postcode, a seven-character code unique to each address. Mallow uses the P51 Eircode routing key. In the town and the surrounding north Cork countryside, the Eircode confirms the exact address. Rural north Cork, including the River Blackwater valley townlands, uses Eircodes in place of street numbers. Always include the full seven-character code in the enquiry.
A small shared load to Mallow starts from about 300 to 900 pounds for single items. A part load of a few rooms runs from about 1,200 to 3,000 pounds. A full house on a dedicated van starts from about 3,500 pounds. Mallow is close to Cork city and well-served by the N20. The firm price is confirmed by the mover after a survey.
