Moving house can be one of life’s most stressful experiences, but with the right plan and a reliable removals team, it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating locally, here are some expert tips from Storage Bros- the removals experts in Newhaven- to make your move as smooth as possible…

1. Start planning your removals early

As soon as you know your moving date, start preparing. Create a detailed checklist and book your removals service in Sussex early, especially if you’re moving on a weekend or at the end of the month, when demand is highest.

2. Declutter before you pack

Moving is the perfect opportunity to clear out anything you no longer need. Sell, donate, or recycle unwanted items before packing- it’ll save space, time, and money. For items you’re not ready to part with, consider a personal storage unit in Newhaven at Storage Bros. It’s a convenient way to keep belongings safe until you’re settled.

3. Pack smart and label everything

Pack one room at a time and clearly label each box with its contents and destination. Keep an “essentials box” handy with items you’ll need immediately- chargers, important documents, and tea-making supplies!

4. Think about temporary storage while you move

If your new home isn’t quite ready or you have a gap between moving dates, our self storage in Newhaven offers the perfect solution. Store furniture, boxes, and valuables securely for as long as you need, giving you breathing room during the transition.

5. Rely on local experts in East Sussex

Choosing a local company like Storage Bros means working with a team that knows the East Sussex area inside out. We handle removals with care, precision, and a personal touch, ensuring your move goes smoothly from start to finish.

Whether you need removals, storage, or packing help, Storage Bros Newhaven has you covered.
