Our guides share practical advice from years of helping people move across Sussex — from packing and lifting safely to choosing a removals company and settling into a new area.

Whether you’re a first-time mover or an old hand, a little preparation goes a long way. Our guides cover the practical questions people ask us most: how to pack efficiently, how to lift heavy items without hurting yourself, how to keep costs down, how to prepare appliances like washing machines, and what to look for when choosing a removals company. We also share local insight for people moving to the area, including reasons to move to West Sussex and what to know about moving to Worthing.
Of course, the simplest way to a stress-free move is to let an experienced, fully insured team handle it. We’re a family-run Sussex removals company, LAPADA-accredited and Checkatrade-verified, and we cover the whole of Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and beyond. Read on for our advice, and reach out whenever you need a hand.

Moving Tips — Your Questions Answered
Ideally four to six weeks ahead. That gives you time to declutter, gather packing materials, book your removals team and notify utilities and services — all of which make moving day far less stressful.
Wrap each item individually in bubble wrap or packing paper, use sturdy boxes, fill any gaps so nothing shifts, and clearly label boxes ‘fragile’. We also offer a full packing service if you’d rather leave it to the experts.
Both work well — packing yourself saves money, while a professional packing service saves time and protects fragile and valuable items. Many customers pack the everyday items and let us handle the delicate ones.
Declutter before you move, be flexible on dates, pack what you can yourself, and get a clear written quote up front so there are no surprises. Request a free quote to compare.
Not necessarily — as well as in-home surveys we offer free video surveys, so we can assess your move and quote without you taking time off work. Contact us to arrange one.
