Removals East Sussex

Bearded Bros is a Brighton-based removals and storage team covering the whole of East Sussex, from the city itself out to the coast and up into the Weald. We've been doing this since 2013, and East Sussex is where most of our work happens. Whether you're moving within Brighton, along the coast to Peacehaven, or further out to Lewes, the same trained crew and the same fleet turns up.

WE COVER ALL OF EAST SUSSEX, FROM BRIGHTON AND HOVE TO THE FAR REACHES OF THE COUNTY

What East Sussex coverage actually means

Brighton and Hove are home turf. This is where we're based, where most of our jobs happen, and where our vans are on the road most days of the week. If you're moving here, you're getting a local team that knows the streets, the parking, and the flats above the shops on the seafront.

The coastal towns just along from us, Peacehaven, Rottingdean, Saltdean, Portslade, Southwick and Shoreham-by-Sea, are routine runs. We're in and out of these areas so regularly that a move here is no different to one in Brighton itself: same crew, same day rates, same availability.

Lewes and the towns further into East Sussex are scheduled runs rather than daily ones. We still cover them properly, same trained team, same vehicles, same standard of care, but we'll usually plan the day around it rather than fitting it in on the fly. If your move is further out, tell us the postcode at the quote stage and we'll build the day around it.

We don't offer international or overseas removals. Everything we do is UK-based, with East Sussex as our core patch and the rest of the country covered from here.

Areas we cover across East Sussex

From Brighton and Hove out to the coast and county towns around us, here's where the Bros are on the road most weeks.

Brighton

Our home depot on Springfield Road, so Kemptown steps and Hanover hills are all in a day's work.
View Brighton Removals

Hove

Regency squares, Victorian terraces and 1930s semis, sized to the building, not the postcode.
View Hove Removals

Portslade

Old Portslade's tight lanes or New Portslade's level crossing, we know which roads take a 7.5-tonner.
View Portslade Removals

Southwick

Level crossings and the Albion Street terraces, timed around the railway, not against it.
View Southwick Removals

Shoreham-by-Sea

Harbour side, Old Town or Shoreham Beach's permit-only lanes, we quote each on its own terms.
View Shoreham-by-Sea Removals

Lewes

Steep lanes and listed doorways in the old town, worked by a crew who know which streets need a smaller van.
View Lewes Removals

Rottingdean

Flint cottages, narrow lanes and a High Street we know not to block at school pick-up.
View Rottingdean Removals

Saltdean

Steep seafront streets and Art Deco staircases on the Ocean estate, worked for over a decade.
View Saltdean Removals

Peacehaven

From cliff-top streets to the South Coast Road, the van size is matched to the gradient.
View Peacehaven Removals

If you're still deciding where you're moving to or want local checklists on parking and access, our moving to Lewes, moving to Hove, moving to Peacehaven, moving to Portslade, moving to Rottingdean, moving to Saltdean, moving to Southwick and moving to Shoreham-by-Sea guides cover the local detail town by town.

Removals and storage across East Sussex

For removals and storage East Sussex customers can rely on from one team, both of our storage sites sit inside the county itself, not somewhere we've bolted on from outside it.

Springfield Road, Brighton is our self-storage site, with full containers (150 sq ft) and half containers (75 sq ft) available, 24/7 CCTV throughout.

Newhaven is home to our longer-term crated storage, at 250 cubic feet per crate. Newhaven is itself an East Sussex town along the coast from Brighton, so it's covered by the same local team as the rest of this page, not a separate operation.

If your move needs storage built in, whether that's a chain gap, a renovation or a downsize, our removals and storage page covers how the two work together. For storage on its own, full detail on both sites is on the storage page.

What our removals service covers

Our removals service covers the full range of domestic and office removals work across East Sussex, sized to the job rather than a one-size van:

  • Single items and part loads, where a full removal isn't needed
  • Flat and house moves, local within the county or between East Sussex towns
  • Office relocations
  • Longer UK-wide runs for anyone moving out of the area

Packing is offered at whatever level suits the move:

  • Full professional pack, handled the day before or the morning of the move
  • Partial pack, where we take the fragile and awkward items and you do the rest
  • DIY, with boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wardrobe boxes available from the box shop
  • Furniture dismantling and reassembly on request, covering most flatpack and bed frames
  • Reusable crates available to hire as an alternative to cardboard

All of this runs from our own fleet based in Brighton, with a team of around twenty trained staff and over 10,000 moves completed in the last five years.

East Sussex removals FAQ

Do you cover all of East Sussex?

Yes. Brighton and Hove are our base and our busiest area, the coastal towns nearby are routine daily runs, and the further reaches of East Sussex are covered as scheduled jobs. Tell us your postcode at the quote stage and we'll confirm timing.

Is Newhaven part of your East Sussex coverage, or a separate service?

Newhaven is part of the same East Sussex operation, not a separate add-on. It's where our crated storage facility sits, along the coast from our Brighton depot, and it's covered by the same removals team as the rest of the county.

I'm not sure which East Sussex town page applies to my move, what should I do?

Use the areas we cover above to find your town's dedicated page for local detail on access, parking and typical moving-day considerations. If your town isn't listed, or you're moving somewhere on the edge of the county, get in touch with your postcode and we'll confirm coverage directly.

Does a move further into East Sussex need more notice than a Brighton move?

It can do. Brighton, Hove and the coastal towns run on daily availability, while Lewes and towns further out are scheduled, so a little more notice gives us more options on timing. Tell us your postcode and preferred date at the quote stage and we'll confirm what's available.

How do I get a quote for an East Sussex move?

Fill in the online form or call the team. We'll ask for your postcode and moving date so we can confirm coverage and timing for your area.
