Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Could you deliver to a storage facility if needed ?
A. Answer: Yes we can deliver all or part of your effects to a storage facility chosen by yourselves. If you are looking at a self storage facility please advise us of what floor the unit is on and if above ground floor is there a lift available and the distance to carry the effects. If you require us to stack items please have available materials to put on polished surfaces as self storage companies don't supply covers/blankets. Thank you for your question regards Mark Lane.


Q. Please give approx monthly cost of container storage (minimum of 6 months) for house contents of a four bedroom house, plus conservatory, plus two utility rooms, plus office.
A. Answer: The cost of container storage is in the area of £15 per container per week inc vat, although we apply discounts depending on the amount of containers needed and the length of time storage is required. If a customer wishes to pay 6 months in advance will apply a further 5% discount. I can see that you have a four bedroom property with an office and two utility rooms, depending on the amount of outside effects you have I would guess that you will need somewhere between 5 and 8 containers. The only way to know for sure is for one of my surveyor to visit you discuss your requirements, take an electronic inventory (leave a copy with you) and to give you a quote for the move into store, the weekly storage rate with any discounts and the out of store removal to the new property. Please call Sarah on 01872 560147 to arrange this. In the mean time we do have a removal and storage price calculator which will give you a guide price, there is a link from the home page. Thank you for your question regards Mark Lane.

Q. Hi there We will be relocating to Brisbane in April and will be taking personal household goods and possibly our car. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if you can organize a 20ft container which would combine the shipping of the car in the same container as our goods? If so what would the approximate costs be for the transport to Brisbane from Bristol, UK? How long does a container take to arrive in Brisbane? If the car/goods combination is not possible could you let me know what my alternatives might be re the car and/or the personal goods. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards Kath
A. Answer: Hi KathThank you for your enquiry and we will be pleased to help you in the process of moving you effects and car to Brisbane. Moving a car to Brisbane is possible although the Australian Government apply a fair amount of red tape and import duties to discourage people emigrating to Australia form bring their cars with them. As I said it is possible but you will need to check what it is going to cost you on top of the shipping cost. Here is some information to start with but please check with the Australian Customs websites for the full and current information. Vehicles up to 30 years old 5% Duty + 10% Gst. The GST is levied on the ‘Customs Value’ + the Duty + the total Cost of Shipment to Australia figure.There is an additional tax and is levied at a rate of 33% on all vehicles, with a current GST inclusive value in excess of A$57,466 (figure set annually by the Australian Taxation Office). The other way of shipping a car to Australia is what is known as roll on roll off. This is where the car is taken to by you or us to the port where it is driven or lifted onto the ship and normally travels on the top deck. This is little cheaper but it is open to the elements and has a greater chance of damage. Timings door to door in a 20 or 40ft container will be about 8 to 10 weeks although you will have to collect the car from port / our agent. The cost of shipping will be in the area of £5,000 to £5500. I hope this is of help regards Mark Lane. For futher informatiom please call Angus on 01179 811220

Q. As somebody wishing to move soon, I have done my "homework" and read all the literature I can, this has left my with one or two questions. Q1: The main site of Brittania International describes Brittania as the biggest Independant mover, what does the independant mean? Q2: A major feature appears to be the "Advance Payment Guarantee" are Brittania Franchises going bust or out of business so frequently that this is a major issue?
A. Answer: Q1/A Britannia Movers International is made up of 43 family owned and family run removal companies, we work together forming of a group similar to a corporative and not a franchise. There is only one Britannia member per county or designated area. Each of the members were invited to join the group because of their strengths in the removal and storage industry back up with a commitment for offering a quality service to its customers. Each member is a shareholder of Britannia Movers international. When looking at our company names you will see the brand name first "Britannia" followed by the family name of the removal company. In our case we are known as Britannia Lanes of Cornwall, Britannia Lanes of Devon, Britannia Lanes of Somerset & Britannia Lanes of Bristol. In South Wales the member is Britannia Robins in Manchester the member is Britannia Bradshaws etc etc. Each of the Britannia Lanes depots are run by one of Lanes family with their partners. At the Cornwall depot there are also two members of the third generation working in the business. For these reasons we are the biggest independent remover. Q2 The advance payment guarantee is in place to give our customers the confidence that there money is safe when using a Britannia member. The reason your money is safe is because we are 43 separate companies and likelihood of 43 companies going into administration at the same time is zero, which is the opposite of most nationals as they are normally one company having several braches. In the event of a Britannia member going into administration and a customer has paid for a move before the service takes place it would be in the best interest of the Britannia Movers International along with the rest of Britannia members to make sure that the move covered by another member or a full refund is given. Britannia Movers International have placed a sum of money in a separate account to be used in this situation. Thank you for your questions and we hope to here from you soon to arrange a quote for your move. In the mean time have you seen our removal price calculator there is a link from our home page. www.britannialanes.co.uk

Q. Hi, I'd like to know how much it would be to rent the space for us to store most of the contents of our 3 bed house. There won't be loads of personal effects as we've stashed those in a relatives house, but still have the furniture from a 3 bed house. I'd like a rolling monthly price as we don't know how long we'll need the storage for, probably 3-6 months though. I'd prefer drive up storage assuming that is dry enough for sofas, mattresses etc to not get damp. Thanks Mike
A. Answer: Hi Mike thank you for your question. It is so difficult to give you a price as I will be guessing on the quantity but to try and help an 80sqft drive up unit per week will cost you about £35 and an internal unit i.e inside a building £32 per week. At this time of year I would suggest that you look for an internal unit especially if the period of storage is 3 - 6 months while the dirve up units are dry the door open direct to the elements and very time you open the door damp air can enter the unit. I hope this is of help, for further information please call Paul on 01872 561847.

If you require us to stack items of furniture or other items onto polished surfaces it is best that you supply some protective covers as self storage companies do not supply these items as part of the rental agreement. Please see our new packing materials web site, there is a link from the home page. We would be more than please to visit you and give a free quotation, to do this please call Sarah on 01872 560147.

Q. Dear Sir I would like to thank you for the fantastic service I received from your staff at 821 Bath Rd, Bristol. I hired a high top van, via the internet, from the Bristol depot, to enable me to move house. When I arrived on Friday the 10th of August I was met by an extremely helpful gentleman who guided me through the process. Customer care is clearly at the forefront of this employees mind and dealing with him was an absolute pleasure. The van he had prepared for me was spotless inside and out, I don't just mean a wipe around with a damp cloth, this was showroom condition. It was obvious that this chap took a lot of pride in the vehicles he supplied and the service he provided. When I returned the van the process was just as painless and dealt with by different, and equally as helpful male employee. Based on the value for money, vehicle condition and customer care Britannia Lanes have given me I am recommending you to everyone I know. I look forward to dealing with you again in the near future. Kind regards S Henwood
A. Dear Mr Henwood. I would like to thank you for your time in writing a report on our website regarding the service you received at our Bristol depot when hiring a van from us. I have already congratulated Martin Blatchford for all of his efforts. I hope that you are now settled into your new home, regards Mark Lane.

Q. Hi, Firstly my name is Joe Shrimpton and i would like to enquire about a sponsorship enquiry. I am heavily involved with motorsport and am currently competing in the Irish Citroen Racing Trophy and laying 3rd in the championship with only four points separating me from the leader. This is my first season rallying however i used to race in the RX150 buggies in the British Rallycross Championship where i finished 2nd last ear one point from winning the championship. I have been competing in the buggy this year and are currently 3rd in the championship, however i have pulled away from rallycross due to the fact i need to concentrate on my rallying more, by going testing and getting as much seat time as i can. I am currently mentored by Kris Meeke who drives for mini in the WRC, i am committed to the sport in and out off the car training in the gym at least three times a week. My future aim is to be in the IRC and WRC, i have been testing current WRC cars and have been offered drives for certain teams however i need to bring a budget to the table with me. This is my dream and this is what i hope to do in the future for a living, if i could do it every day i would. I am the kind off person who does not want to give up, i am up for the challenge !!. This is my first season in a rally car and next year i am hoping to compete in the French Championship, British Championship and selected IRC and WRC events. I am looking for a sponsorship partner for next year, this may interest you however i know you are already involved with motorsport but it may interest you. I have attached my 2010 profile to give you an insight off me and my career, however it is not up to date (it's from 2010) , so you can always log onto my website. Thankyou for taking your time to read this email. Please contact me at any time. Thankyou Joe Joe Shrimpton Write: joe@joeshrimptonmotorsport.co.uk Talk: 07748251226 See: joeshrimptonmotorsport.co.uk
A. Answer: Hi Joe having been involved in rallying for 25 years and my father in the 60,s was a semi pro driver for Rootes which became Talbot & entering the Monte Carlo (class winning see not below) RAC, Tulip Rally etc etc. I know only to well what a mammoth task you have ahead of you to raise enough sponsorship in these hard financial times. We are unable to help at this time but wish you the best in your rallying career/sponsorship raising. I look forward to seeing you on the front cover of Auto Sport some day soon. Notes: Silverthorne, Power and Appleby were all disqualified mid-rally for having seven lights on their cars rather than the regulation six.
