Why book Van Dan in Portslade

Next-door local: we are based in Brighton & Hove, so a Portslade-to-Hove or Portslade-to-Southwick move is a short, well-known run for us.

Our services in Portslade

Terraced houses in Portslade-by-Sea often have narrow hallways, so we take apart beds and wardrobes before they are carried out. We can also pack for you and hold belongings in storage. Further detail: house removals for homes, office removals for workplaces.

Where we move in Portslade

Portslade-by-Sea. Victorian terraces and flats near the harbour, with narrow frontages and on-street loading. If possible, please show us the steps to the door and the stairs inside.
Portslade Old Village. A conservation area around the Norman church of St Nicolas and the old manor. Brighton & Hove City Council's appraisal notes that much of the street pattern is medieval in origin. Narrow lanes and flint walls are the rule, so identify the approach and any gate or tight corner that affects large furniture.
Mile Oak. The houses climb north from the old village along Mile Oak Road towards the Downs: inter-war and post-war homes, some 1960s flats, and late-20th-century housing at Downs Park on the eastern edge. Hills and sloping drives are common, so include garden and garage contents and, if possible, tell us whether the van can use the drive.
Along Old Shoreham Road. The A270 is a busy main road through the area. For a home on or just off it, a side-street loading point is usually safer than stopping on the main road, so it helps if you can tell us the nearest side street.
Fishersgate and the Southwick boundary. Next door but in West Sussex. Nearby addresses fall under different councils, so one suspension will not cover both ends.

How we plan a move in Portslade

Start by telling us what is coming from each room, the shed and the loft, and how the front door, hallway and stairs look. If you know whether your street has permit bays, it would help if you could mention it; if not, and you can send us a photo of the nearest signs, it will help us check.

Next we match the crew and vehicle to the load, advise whether to apply to the city council for a suspension, and agree any dismantling. A nearby destination can still involve a long walk from the van, stairs or a wait for access. It helps if you can tell us when the new property will be available so collection and delivery can be planned together.

Removal prices for Portslade

Our booked BN-area moves from April to November 2026 give a middle price of £349 inc VAT for two bedrooms (30 moves) and £711 for three (21 moves).

Each BN-wide figure collects past bookings under the number of bedrooms logged when they were made, and whole-house moves sit in it alongside part loads. Your own quote comes from what you send us and how each home is reached, including how far the furniture travels from where the van stops to your door.

Parking and loading in Portslade

Portslade is part of Brighton and Hove, so the city council's loading rules and suspension process apply here, not West Sussex's. Some streets in south Portslade are in a permit zone, so check your own street on the council's zone finder.

In the terraces of Portslade-by-Sea a suspension can save a long walk along the pavement; in Mile Oak a clear drive often makes one unnecessary.

Brighton & Hove City Council suspensions: 7 full working days' notice, by 2pm; £19 resident admin fee (checked 12 Nov 2026).

Questions about moving in Portslade

Is Portslade covered by Brighton & Hove parking rules?

Yes. Portslade is part of Brighton and Hove, so the city council's loading rules, permit zones and suspension process apply.

Do you cover Mile Oak and Fishersgate?

Yes. We cover Mile Oak and Portslade Village, and Fishersgate next door in West Sussex.

How much notice do I need to reserve a bay?

Brighton & Hove City Council asks for at least 7 full working days.

Can you move us from Portslade to Hove or Shoreham?

Yes. Hove is next door, and for Shoreham the parking rules change at the West Sussex boundary, so we check both ends.

Our terrace has no rear access. Is that a problem?

Not usually, but anything from the garden or shed has to come through the house. If possible, please include those items in the inventory and show the route from the back door through the kitchen or hallway to the street. It would help if you could measure the tightest doorway. If you can send us photos of any turn between rooms and the front steps, it would help us to offer you the best possible price. It helps if you can tell us about large items that were assembled in the garden and whether they are designed to come apart. We can then discuss what preparation or dismantling is suitable before the move, rather than discover at the back door that an item cannot pass through the house.

We live just off Old Shoreham Road. Where will the van stop?

On a main road such as Old Shoreham Road, the van usually loads from a side street or a bay rather than the main road itself. If you can tell us the closest side road and send us a photo of the signs on it, we will confirm what the rules allow at that spot.

I used Dan for my move from Hove to Portslade on 8th July. Him and his man were so great. Very cheery, professional and economical, will use again for sure and would recommend wholeheartedly.
