Hi Jenny,
I can't help with a North East removal company other than suggesting getting three quotes, and seeing how you get on with whomever turns up.
For crossing the channel, the main alternatives down here are:
Channel tunnel
Turn up an hour in advance, the crossing takes 35 minutes and then you're pretty much straight onto the motorway. Your animals stay in the car with you. About 6hours 45 minutes driving time (plus any required stops)
Dover to Calais ferry
Crossing about 90 minutes- 2 hours. Pets stay in the vehicle as far as I know.
Newhaven-Dieppe ferry (DFDS)
The crossing takes 4 hours, dogs are put in kennels. I think you're allowed one accompanied visit to see your pets during the crossing. Driving time to Montmorillon about 5 hours
Portsmouth-Caen ferry (Brittany Ferries)
The longest crossing at about 6 hours. Your pets stay in your vehicle. Visit the information desk to arrange a visit during the crossing. Driving time to Montmorillon about 4 hours.
P&O runs ferries from Hull to Zeebrugge - might this be more convenient for you? No idea about pets on that route, I'm afraid.
We've taken our cats on the tunnel and Newhaven ferry route and prefer the ferry. It's less expensive than the tunnel and you do actually get a break from driving and sitting in your car.
I hope this helps...
