Quick answer
How much do Brighton removals cost?
Brighton is only about 55 miles from London, so a move from one to the other is a straightforward day. The city is dense: Regency terraces in Kemptown, steep Victorian streets in Hanover, and almost everywhere is under permit parking.
Brighton and Hove has Regency terraces, steep Hanover streets, Kemptown flats and strict permit parking across most of the city.
We plan around residents' permit bays, steep hills and the narrow lanes of the North Laine.
Email postcodes, floor levels, parking notes and photos of bulky items. We will tell you the right van and crew before you book.
- No ULEZ charge: it is never added to your bill.
- Access: we check Brighton road width and parking rules before the day.
- Bay suspensions: Bays here are run by Brighton and Hove City Council. We tell you which one to suspend and for how long, so the van is at the door.
- Prices: published hourly rates, whole-hour booking. Stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour and shown in the quote, never added on the day.

Most streets are residents' bays. We arrange a suspension or a legal stop and tell you the plan.
Hanover and Kemptown climb steeply. A smaller van can be safer than a Luton.

About two hours by road. Many London to Brighton moves are done in a single day.
We arrange a suspension where one is needed, or choose a legal stop close to the door, and tell you before the day.
A small van with a driver is £55/hr, with a 2-hour minimum (£110). The same van with two people is £75/hr (2-hour minimum, £150), and a Luton with three people is £130/hr (3-hour minimum, £390). You book whole hours, and if the job overruns the extra time is billed in 30-minute steps. Mileage is charged one way, from collection to delivery, and stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour. There is no weekend, evening, bank holiday or ULEZ premium and no deposit. How long it takes depends on your items, the walk from the van at BN1, and the stairs or lifts. We plan around residents' permit bays, steep hills and the narrow lanes of the North Laine. Email both postcodes and some photos and we price it.
Yes. Walk-ups, conversions and lift blocks across Brighton and Hove are all part of the job, and we staff the crew for the number of flights. Stairs cost £10 per person on the crew, per flight, for each hour at that address. A floor counts as 2 flights, the ground floor is free, and a working lift removes the charge. It is written into the quote so nothing is added on the day. Photos of the stair turns, your sofa and the parking help us see whether anything has to come apart.
By the hour at the published rates. You book whole hours, at least 2 for a small van and 3 for a Luton, and any overrun is billed in 30-minute steps. Mileage is charged one way and stairs are charged per flight. Send photos, a list of items, both postcodes, floor levels and parking notes, and we reply with the van, the crew and how many hours to book. A move towards Hove, or anywhere else in the UK, is priced the same way.
Yes: full packing, kitchen-only packing or fragile wrapping, with materials and room labels. A one-bedroom home is £400 and a two-bedroom home £600, labour and materials included. Many people pack their clothes themselves and leave the breakables to us. Send a few photos of the rooms and we suggest the lightest option that still protects your glass, mirrors and kitchen things.
Yes. Every booking carries £10,000 goods in transit cover, with blankets and straps for furniture. Mention valuable or very fragile items before collection. If your landlord or building manager in Brighton wants proof of cover, we send it once the booking is confirmed.
Yes: sofas, wardrobes, beds, appliances, desks and Marketplace finds. If a piece might not fit the stairs or the lift, send photos and we check whether it can be dismantled or brought in another way before the day. We set it down in the room you choose where access allows. We plan around residents' permit bays, steep hills and the narrow lanes of the North Laine.
