Sometimes, a smaller, more flexible vehicle is the perfect solution for Brighton Removals, like our Sprinter man and van service, which recently helped a family relocate from Hastings to Brighton.
We’re fully insured with £20,000 Goods in Transit and £5 million Public Liability, protected by Admiral Platinum, backed by 280+ five-star Google reviews, and we follow an eco pledge to reuse boxes, favour Esso eco fuel where possible and run paperless bookings.
A Cost-Effective and Convenient Choice
Our clients, a young couple with a toddler, were moving from a two-bedroom flat in Hastings to a new home in Brighton. They didn’t have a massive amount of furniture, but they still needed professional help to transport everything safely and efficiently. Instead of hiring a larger van with unnecessary space, they opted for our Sprinter van service, a more affordable and convenient choice for their move. If you're looking for a Brighton removals service in Hastings, whether for a small home move or furniture transport, our business is the perfect fit.
Sprinter vs Luton: what’s best for my move?
Capacity: Sprinter is about 10–14 m³; Luton is about 18–20 m³ and usually has a tail-lift.
Typical loads: Sprinter suits studio or 1–2 room moves with boxes, a small sofa and a bed; Luton suits 1–2 bedroom flats or small houses with larger sofas, wardrobes and appliances.
Access benefits: Sprinter handles narrow streets and tight parking more easily; Luton reduces trips and lifts heavy items efficiently but needs more space and height clearance.
A Smooth Moving Day Experience
On the morning of the move, we arrived on time and ready to go. The couple had already packed their boxes, and we quickly assessed the best way to load everything securely. With years of experience in Brighton removals, we carefully loaded their sofas, dining table, chairs, beds, and boxes, ensuring everything was well-protected for the journey. Our Sprinter van was ideal for navigating Brighton’s busy streets, allowing us to park closer to their new home without any hassle. Within a few hours, we had everything unloaded and placed exactly where they wanted it, saving them time and effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many boxes fit in your vans?
As a guide, a Sprinter sized panel van (around 10–14m³) takes roughly 60–90 standard boxes depending on furniture. A Luton (around 18–20m³) takes about 110–130. Tell us your inventory and we will advise precisely.
Do you provide packing materials or packing services?
Yes. We can supply sturdy boxes, tape and wrap, or carry out full or part packing. If you are packing yourself, we can share a simple room by room plan to speed loading and protect fragile items.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry Goods in Transit cover up to £20,000 and £5 million Public Liability, with Admiral Platinum for extra assurance. We will explain inclusions and how to list any high value items.
Can you arrange parking permits or bay suspensions?
Yes. Most Sussex towns use controlled zones. We can arrange legal bay suspensions or dispensations and plan a loading point that keeps the van close, safe and compliant.
Do you offer storage if my keys are delayed?
Yes. We can load directly into secure storage and redeliver when you are ready. We are partnered with Big Yellow Storage Brighton so each item only moves once.
Do you handle small moves and one item jobs?
Yes. Our man and van service is designed for single rooms, furniture collections, auction wins and event support, and we scale up to full removals crews when needed.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover Brighton and Hove and the whole of East and West Sussex, including Lewes, Eastbourne, Worthing, Hastings, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Seaford and Uckfield, with UK wide moves on request.
How far in advance should I book?
Three to four weeks is ideal, especially for Fridays, month ends and summer weekends. If your date is sooner, we will try to accommodate or suggest an off peak slot.
How do quotes and pricing work?
We complete a quick survey by message, call or video, confirm access and parking, and give a clear fixed or capped price. No hidden extras, any parking charges or bay suspensions are agreed in advance.
Can you manage stairs, lifts and tight access?
Yes. We measure turns and lift sizes during the survey, bring the right team and protection for stairs and narrow hallways, and plan safe carry routes for older buildings.
Do you move heavy or special items?
Yes, within safe limits. We regularly move sofas, wardrobes, American fridge freezers and flat pack that needs dismantling and rebuilding. Tell us about pianos, safes or artwork so we can plan correctly.
What is your approach to sustainability?
We reuse and recycle moving boxes with a take back option for clean boxes, favour Esso eco fuel where possible and run paperless quotes, bookings and invoices.
