Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your move with DK Trusted Removals.
Why choose DK Trusted Removals?
We’re a local family-run Brighton & Hove removals company built on trust, reliability, and care. Unlike national chains, we know the area inside out; from tight Kemp Town terraces to seafront flats and Marina apartments.
Every move is handled personally by our experienced team, with no subcontractors, no hidden fees, and no cut corners. We’re fully insured, competitively priced, and committed to making your move as stress-free as possible.
Do you cover all areas across Brighton & Hove?
Yes — we cover the full Brighton & Hove area including Hove, Portslade, Kemp Town, Hanover, Preston Park, Patcham, Whitehawk, and Moulsecoomb. We also regularly move people to and from nearby towns like Lewes, Shoreham-by-Sea, Burgess Hill, and Haywards Heath.
What’s the best time of year to move in Brighton?
Spring and autumn tend to be the best times to move in Brighton. The weather is more predictable than summer, and demand is lower — meaning more availability and often better value.
Summer is our busiest period, particularly July and August when students are moving in and out of University of Brighton and University of Sussex accommodation. End-of-month dates are always in high demand year-round due to tenancy changeovers. If you have flexibility, mid-week moves in spring or autumn are typically the smoothest and easiest to book. However, we can cover any time you want to move.
Do you provide a free quote?
Yes, all quotes are completely free with no obligation. Just get in touch with the details of your move including your current and new address, rough volume of belongings, and any access considerations and we’ll come back to you with a clear, transparent price. No hidden extras, no surprises on the day.
How long will my move take?
It depends on the size of your home and the complexity of the move. A one-bedroom flat in Brighton typically takes 2–4 hours, while a three or four-bedroom house could take a full day.
Factors like parking access, stairs, and distance between properties all play a role. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when you request your quote so you can plan your day with confidence.
Can you help with moves in Brighton’s narrow streets and terraced houses?
Absolutely. Brighton & Hove has plenty of tight Victorian terraces, narrow lanes, and restricted parking — we know the area well and plan accordingly. We carry the right equipment for awkward access and can arrange parking suspensions where needed.
Do you handle sea-facing flat moves along the Brighton seafront?
Yes, we do these regularly. Seafront properties can come with challenges like restricted access, no lifts, and meter parking — we factor all of this in when quoting so there are no surprises on the day.
Are you familiar with Brighton’s parking restrictions and CPZs?
Very much so. Brighton & Hove has extensive Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) and permit areas. We’re experienced with arranging temporary parking suspensions through Brighton & Hove City Council where needed to ensure a smooth, hassle-free move.
Do you move students to and from Brighton’s universities?
Yes we help plenty of students moving in and out of accommodation near the University of Brighton and University of Sussex. Whether it’s a room in a shared house or a studio flat, we offer flexible, affordable options to suit student budgets.
Can you help with moves to or from Brighton Marina or Kemptown?
Definitely. Brighton Marina and Kemptown are areas we cover regularly. Marina properties can have specific access requirements, and we’re well-versed in navigating the site. Just let us know the details when you get in touch and we’ll plan accordingly.
