Portslade removals with a team you can trust

Portslade splits neatly into two halves, and a removal that goes smoothly in one can run into trouble in the other. Old Portslade up on the hill is a Conservation Area of flint cottages and tight lanes around the church. New Portslade, the streets running down to the seafront either side of Boundary Road, is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces on a grid. Both have their quirks. Old Portslade rewards a smaller van and a bit of patience with the corners. New Portslade rewards an early start because Boundary Road, North Street and Station Road all queue up around the level crossing the moment the school run kicks in.

We have been working these streets for over a decade, so we know which roads take a 7.5-tonne truck without grief and which need a smaller van and a shuttle. Whoever quotes your job is the same person who shows up on move day, and we will tell you upfront if your address needs a parking suspension on the day rather than discovering it at 8am on a Saturday. Our parking for removals in Brighton and Hove guide explains how the process and costs work.

Local Brighton removals company, serving Portslade

We are a Brighton-based removals firm with self-storage on Springfield Road and a longer-term crated storage site in Newhaven. Portslade sits about four miles west of our depot, comfortably inside the catchment we cover every day. Most weeks one of our crews is moving a customer in or out of Portslade, Fishersgate, Mile Oak, or somewhere else along the Hove and Southwick stretch.

Twelve years in, the team is largely the same people who started with us. Tom has been our Operations Manager since 2014. Several of the lads have been on the vans for five to ten years. That kind of continuity is rare in this trade, and it is the main reason customers tell us afterwards that the move felt calm rather than chaotic. The reviews on Google and Checkatrade say much the same thing, in the customers' own words. For the formal side of that reputation, see our accreditations.

Full house moves, flats and small moves

Portslade moves come in a few shapes. A Mile Oak family home heading for West Sussex. A Boundary Road terrace downsizing into a Portslade Old Village flat. A single bedroom moving from one Fishersgate flat to another. We cover the lot. The same crew that quotes the job turns up on the day. We will dismantle and reassemble furniture if you need it, wrap and pad the awkward pieces, and label the boxes by room so unpacking at the new place takes hours rather than days.

For period properties we slow the work down. Cast iron radiators, original fireplaces, sash windows in the old village cottages, and the long staircases in the bay-fronted Edwardian terraces all need a different approach to a Shoreham new-build. Our team has handled all of it.

Areas near Portslade we cover

Portslade is one of our regular patches, and it sits inside a tight cluster of locations we move in and out of every week.

- Removals in Hove

- Removals in Shoreham

- Southwick

- Fishersgate

- Mile Oak

- Aldrington

If your move is heading further along the coast or up into the Sussex Downs, the parent removals service page covers our wider catchment, and there's a dedicated house removals page if it's a full home rather than a single load. If you're still weighing up the area itself, our Portslade moving checklist is worth a read before your move date is set.

Packing materials and box shop

Plenty of Portslade customers want to pack themselves and just hire us for the move. We sell everything you need through our box shop. Small, medium and large boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape, furniture covers, and wardrobe boxes you can hire and return rather than buy. The hire option keeps cardboard out of landfill and costs less than buying outright.

If you would rather hand the job over, we offer a full pack service. The team arrive a day or two before move day, pack the house room by room, and have it ready for the trucks the next morning. It is the single biggest stress reducer we offer, particularly for families with young children and anyone moving out of a long-tenure home.

Storage available

Sale fallen through, completion delayed, or buying and selling on different dates? Our storage options are built for it.

- Container self-storage at Springfield Road in Brighton. Full or half containers, 150 sq ft or 75 sq ft. 24/7 CCTV, weekday access plus Saturday morning. Around 12 minutes from Portslade.

- Crated storage at our Newhaven facility. Built for longer stays. Each crate holds 250 cubic feet, accessed by appointment.

We can move you out of Portslade, hold your things for a few weeks or a few months, and deliver into the new place when you are ready.

How our removals process works

  1. Tell us about the move. Online form, phone or WhatsApp. Address, dates, rough idea of what is going.
  2. We quote. Most quotes go out the same working day. For larger jobs we offer a free video survey rather than walking an estimator through your house.
  3. Booking and deposit. A small deposit secures the date. Balance is due on completion.
  4. Packing if you have booked it. The team arrives a day or two ahead.
  5. Move day. Trained crew, the right vehicle for the access, careful loading, and a sensible drive between the two addresses.
  6. Unloading and placement. Boxes go in the right rooms, furniture is reassembled, beds are made up if you would like them to be.

What makes Bearded Bros different

We started in 2013 with one van and a stubborn idea: that a removals firm should turn up on time, treat the customer's things the way they would treat their own, and quote a fair price up front. Twelve years and 10,000-plus moves later, that is still the brief.

In practice it shows up in small ways. The crew that quotes is the crew that moves you. The truck is the right size for the access, not the biggest one in the yard. We bring our own kit, including reusable plastic crates and wardrobe boxes for hire, so a low-waste move is genuinely possible if that matters to you. And when something does go sideways on the day, which it does occasionally in this trade, we tell you straight away and fix it.

We're based in Brighton and our self-storage site is on Springfield Road, but our removals teams cover the whole of East Sussex and West Sussex on a daily basis. That includes Brighton, Hove, Lewes, Newhaven, Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing, Eastbourne, Seaford, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Crawley and the surrounding villages.

For longer-distance moves, we go UK-wide. Our trucks regularly run up to London, the Home Counties and the South West, and we've moved customers as far as Scotland. The storage stays in Brighton or Newhaven, but we'll deliver wherever you've ended up.

FAQs

Do you move from Portslade to anywhere in the UK?

Yes. Portslade is part of our regular Brighton and Sussex catchment, and we move customers from Portslade to anywhere in mainland UK. Long-distance moves are quoted the same way as local ones, with a free video survey for larger jobs.

Can you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

Yes. Our team will take apart wardrobes, beds, dining tables and most flat-pack and self-assembly furniture before the move, and put it back together at the new address. Tell us at quote stage so we can allow time on the day.

What is included in a removals quote?

Our quote covers the crew, the right vehicle for the access, transit insurance, and the move itself between the two addresses. Packing services, packing materials, dismantle and reassemble work, parking suspensions and storage are quoted as add-ons so you can choose what you need. We will not add hidden charges on the day.

Do you offer storage?

Yes. We run two storage products. Self-storage in container units at our Springfield Road site in Brighton, around 12 minutes from Portslade, with 24/7 CCTV and weekday plus Saturday morning access. And longer-term crated storage in Newhaven for moves that need a few months of holding space rather than a few weeks.

How do you protect furniture and fragile items?

Furniture is wrapped in pads and stretch wrap on the day, with corner protectors on anything with a sharp edge. Fragile items are packed in small or medium boxes with bubble wrap and packing paper, labelled clearly, and loaded so nothing heavy sits on top. Your move is covered by transit insurance for the duration of the journey.
