Removals in Shoreham-by-Sea

Bearded Bros has been running removals out of our Springfield Road depot in Brighton since 2013, with more than 10,000 moves on the books and a regular run west along the A27 into Shoreham. Shoreham moves come in a few shapes: a 1930s semi on the Mill Hill side, a townhouse off East Street in Old Shoreham, a flat near Brunswick Road, or a Shoreham Beach property south of the Adur. Our removals Shoreham-by-Sea service is built around how this town actually moves, not a generic template. Friendly crew, careful with your things, written quote inside a working day. That is the whole offer.

Shoreham removals made simple

Most people start a Shoreham move ringing four or five firms and trying to compare answers that do not quite line up. We try to make ours a short conversation. Send a few photos or a quick walk-through video, your collection and delivery postcodes, and a rough moving date, and we will come back with a written quote that names the crew size, the van or truck, and exactly what is included. No surveyor in your hallway unless the move genuinely needs one. No surprise extras on the day.

A reliable removals team serving Shoreham and West Sussex

We have been moving Sussex families and businesses since 2013. Founders Simon and Jonny still run the business hands-on, Tom has been Operations Manager since 2014, and the wider crew is around twenty trained removers, employed by us, most of them with the firm for years. Customers in their own words call them "polite, courteous, diligent and hardworking." That is unusual length of service for this trade and it is the single biggest reason we keep most of our work in the BN area.

For Shoreham customers that matters in two ways. First, the same lead crew you spoke to on the quote call is the one turning up on moving day, not a face from an agency van. Second, we run our own Brighton self-storage at the Springfield Road site and longer-term crated storage at our Newhaven facility, so if a Shoreham move involves a chain delay, a renovation or a downsize, we can handle the full sequence in-house rather than handing you to a third party.

What makes Shoreham removals different

Shoreham sits at an unusual crossing point between the chalk downland, the Adur estuary, and the coast. That geography shapes the work in ways that matter if you are planning a move here.

Shoreham Beach, south of the footbridge, is one of the most distinctive locations we move to and from on a regular basis. Properties on the spit are a mix of permanent homes, houseboats moored along the riverbank, and timber bungalows that pre-date most planning law. Access for a large vehicle can be tight, parking is permit-controlled across the peninsula, and some riverside properties need an extended shuttle setup because a full-size truck cannot get close. We quote Shoreham Beach moves on their own terms, not as a standard house move. If yours falls into that category, a short video walk-through of the access before the quote call saves everyone time on the day.

The development on the eastern side of town around Shoreham Airport adds a different set of conditions. New-build properties there tend to be close-packed with shared access roads that look fine on paper but narrow on arrival. We have run enough moves in that area to know which plots need a two-van shuttle and which will take a 7.5-tonne straight to the door.

The older streets in Shoreham Old Town, off East Street and around the conservation area near St Mary de Haura, carry the same access limitations as any historic market town: kerb heights, tight junctions, and parking restrictions that require advance booking through Adur District Council.

Accreditations and goods in transit cover

Bearded Bros holds eight live accreditations, all listed and described on our accreditations page:

  • British Association of Removers (BAR) membership
  • BAR Advance Payment Guarantee
  • Trading Standards approved Code of Practice (CTSI)
  • Furniture and Home Improvement Ombudsman (FHIO)
  • Move Assured
  • Checkatrade
  • Brighton and Hove Living Wage employer status
  • Self Storage Association UK (SSA UK)

Your belongings travel under goods in transit cover as standard. The full detail of what is covered and how to raise a claim sits on the accreditations page rather than here.

For domestic removals and professional moving service in the Shoreham area, accreditation matters because it gives you a route of independent recourse if something goes wrong. BAR membership in particular carries the Advance Payment Guarantee, so deposits paid to us are protected even if something unexpected happens before move day.

Local removals, packing and unpacking, dismantling

Our house removals service covers the full range of domestic removals work: local removals within the Adur district, moves between Shoreham and Brighton or Worthing, and longer UK-wide runs. The crew and vehicle are sized to the property, for example:

  • Two-bedroom flat off Brunswick Road: usually a single Luton with a two-person crew
  • Four-bedroom family house on the Mill Hill side: typically a 7.5 tonne truck with a three-person crew, sometimes a shuttle van for narrower lanes
  • Shoreham Beach property south of the river: often two smaller vans rather than one bigger one, since parking on the spit is permit-only and the lanes do not love an HGV

Single items get the same care. If you need a sofa moved from Old Shoreham to Lancing or a wardrobe from Buckingham Park to a flat in Hove, we will quote a small-item run rather than pretending the job needs a full removal.

Packing options

Packing and unpacking is offered as a full professional service or as a partial pack where we handle the fragile and awkward items and you do the rest:

  • Full professional pack: our crews are quick with kitchens, china and bookcases
  • Partial pack: we handle the fragile and awkward items, you do the rest
  • DIY: we deliver double-walled boxes, bubble wrap, tape and protective covers from our box shop the week before the move, and collect anything unused afterwards
  • Furniture dismantling and reassembly, covering most flatpack and bed frames (anything needing a specialist, such as built-in wardrobes or unusual ironwork, is flagged at the quote stage)
  • Reusable plastic crates and wardrobe boxes available to hire as an alternative to single-use cardboard

All moves, whether a single item or a full four-bedroom house, travel under the same goods in transit cover. The crew size, vehicle, and packing level are set at the quote stage and confirmed in writing before you commit.

Storage for Shoreham moves

Chain delays in Shoreham follow the same pattern as elsewhere in Sussex: a buyer pulls back, a completion date shifts, a lease gap opens up. Our self-storage in Brighton at Springfield Road, BN1 6DG, runs full or half containers (150 sq ft or 75 sq ft) with 24/7 CCTV and weekday plus Saturday morning access. For longer holds, crated storage at our Newhaven facility gives 250 cubic feet per crate on a by-appointment basis. The Shoreham crew can load you straight into either site and return you to the new property when the date lands, with no third-party handover in between.

Move-day planning, access, parking, timings

Shoreham has a few quirks worth flagging on a quote call rather than on moving day:

  • Residents-only parking: several streets need a booking window arranged in advance
  • Mill Hill and Buckingham Park: wider roads but a tighter kerb, since cars park on both sides
  • Norfolk Bridge and Old Shoreham Toll Bridge: both fine for our trucks, but the A27 lights either side of town add real time at peak hours, so we plan Shoreham starts early

None of this is a problem if it is on the plan. It only becomes a problem if it is a surprise.

Planning your Shoreham move

If you are thinking about the wider area before committing to a move, the moving to Shoreham-by-Sea guide covers schools, transport links, the local property market, and what the town is like to live in day to day. That page is built for people still deciding whether Shoreham is the right fit. This page is for people who have already decided and need a removals team.

We are not the biggest firm in Sussex and we are not trying to be. What you pay is what we said you would pay.

FAQs

Do you offer removals in Shoreham-by-Sea?

Yes. We offer domestic removals, professional packing and unpacking, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and storage for Shoreham-by-Sea and the wider Adur district. We have been running removals west along the A27 from our Brighton depot since 2013 and the town is a regular part of our working week.

Can you move a property on Shoreham Beach?

Yes. Shoreham Beach, including houseboat and riverside properties, is one of our regular operating areas. Access on the spit is permit-controlled and some properties require a shuttle setup rather than a single large vehicle. We assess access at the quote stage so there are no surprises on move day.

Do you offer storage if my Shoreham completion is delayed?

Yes. Self-storage at our Springfield Road site in Brighton (BN1 6DG) is available in full containers (150 sq ft) or half containers (75 sq ft) with 24/7 CCTV and regular access hours. Longer-term crated storage at our Newhaven facility gives 250 cubic feet per crate. The same team that moves you in moves you back out when you are ready.

Do you offer packing services for Shoreham moves?

Yes. We offer a full professional pack, a partial pack for fragile and bulky items only, and a DIY option where we supply double-walled boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and protective covers from our box shop. Furniture dismantling and reassembly is available on request. Reusable plastic crates and wardrobe boxes can be hired as an alternative to cardboard.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Bearded Bros holds eight live accreditations including BAR membership, BAR Advance Payment Guarantee, CTSI Trading Standards approved Code of Practice, FHIO, Move Assured, and Checkatrade. The full list with descriptions is on our accreditations page.

How do I get a quote for a Shoreham removal?

Send us your collection and delivery postcodes, a rough moving date, and either a few photos or a short walk-through video of the property. We will come back with a written quote naming the crew size, vehicle, and exactly what is included, usually within a working day. A surveyor visit is only needed for larger or more complex moves.
