Our Accreditations and Memberships

Anyone can call themselves a removals company. The difference is who stands behind the work when it matters. Bearded Bros has been moving households across Sussex since 2013, and over that time we have joined the industry bodies that hold removers to a real standard, audit how we operate and give our customers somewhere independent to turn if anything ever goes wrong. This page brings those accreditations together in one place, with a short explanation of what each one means for your move.

We cover all East Sussex and West Sussex area and we can move you anywhere in UK

British Association of Removers (BAR)

Bearded Bros is a full member of the British Association of Removers. BAR is the trade association for professional removal firms in the UK, and membership is not a badge you can simply buy. Members pass an external audit every year and commit to a Code of Practice that covers quotations, deposits, insurance and how complaints are handled. In practice it means you are dealing with a vetted, monitored firm rather than a van and a website.

Membership also brings three consumer protections that sit underneath it, set out below. To understand why this matters when you are choosing a mover, read why choose a BAR-accredited removals company. You can also verify our membership on the British Association of Removers website.

Trading Standards approved Code of Practice (CTSI)

The BAR Code of Practice is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute under its Consumer Codes Approval Scheme, and CTSI monitors members to make sure they keep to it. That is the same standards framework you would recognise from other Trading Standards approved trades, applied to the way we quote, take payment and carry out your move.

BAR Advance Payment Guarantee

If you pay a deposit or advance payment to a BAR member and that firm ceases trading before your move, the Advance Payment Guarantee steps in, either arranging for another BAR member to carry out the move or refunding the money you paid in advance. Our cover applies to inland UK domestic moves. It is the kind of protection you rarely think about until it is the only thing standing between you and a lost deposit.

Furniture & Home Improvement Ombudsman (FHIO)

BAR members give customers access to independent dispute resolution through the Furniture & Home Improvement Ombudsman, a government-approved, not-for-profit ombudsman. In the rare event a complaint cannot be resolved with us directly, you have a free, impartial route to a decision rather than a dead end.

Move Assured

Move Assured is an accreditation scheme for removal companies that checks and monitors its approved members, including insurance and standards of service. It is a second, independent layer of vetting on top of our BAR membership. You can read more at Move Assured.

Checkatrade

Our work is reviewed and verified through Checkatrade, where customers leave feedback on real, completed jobs. It is an easy way to see what recent Bearded Bros moves have actually been like before you book.

Brighton & Hove Living Wage employer

Bearded Bros is an accredited Living Wage employer through the Brighton & Hove Living Wage campaign. Our crews are paid the real Living Wage, which matters more than it might sound: settled, fairly paid teams are the reason so many of ours have been with us for years, and an experienced crew is what protects your furniture on the day.

Self Storage Association UK (SSA UK)

We run self-storage and crated storage from our Brighton and Newhaven sites, and we are members of the Self Storage Association UK, the trade body representing self-storage operators across the country. Membership means our storage is run to recognised industry standards, not just a lock-up with a padlock. See our storage options or learn more about the Self Storage Association UK.
