Schiedam is a South Holland city immediately west of Rotterdam, 5 kilometres from the Rotterdam city centre. It is the jenever (Dutch gin) capital of the Netherlands. Five of its 19th-century windmills still stand: these grain windmills processed the malt for the jenever distilleries and are among the tallest surviving windmills in the world. The city has a distinct historic character from its Rotterdam neighbours. Most people searching for a moving company Schiedam are working in Rotterdam's port and logistics sector and choosing Schiedam for its lower housing costs and historic atmosphere.

Schiedam's historic centre has some narrow streets. Particularly around the old jenever distillery quarter and near the Lange Haven canal. Some properties in the historic area may need advance parking planning. The windmill area has restricted vehicle access. Your partner mover checks the specific address before collection day.
Modern residential areas of Schiedam have standard access. The Nieuwland and Groenoord districts are post-war housing areas with wide roads and easy vehicle access. Schiedam-Noord and the newer Kethel development have standard suburban access throughout. No verhuislift is normally needed for Schiedam properties.
Always confirm your delivery address with your partner mover. Historic jenever-quarter or modern residential makes a difference to the access plan.
These are rough planning guides only. Every move is different. The actual price depends on your volume, UK collection address, schiedam delivery address and access. Your matched removal company prices the move after a proper survey.

Your partner mover files the claim through the Dutch Customs AGS system with a signed inboedellijst. You can't self-file.

Don't exchange at the airport or ferry terminal. Rates are poor. Online services like Wise or XE offer better rates than banks. Set up a euro account before you travel. Check the live GBP/EUR rate at XE.com before you commit. The rate changes daily. International Removals Companies does not offer currency exchange.
