At ESV Removals Ltd, we believe moving home should be simple, stress free, and well organised. For years, we have helped families, professionals, and students across Brighton & Sussex complete smooth and successful moves.
One question has come up time and again:
Do you offer storage?
Until now, we did not. But that is changing.
We are proud to announce our new partnership with Big Yellow Self Storage Brighton, offering complete Brighton removals and storage solutions under one trusted local name.
Why We Partnered with Big Yellow Brighton
When it comes to Brighton storage, not all facilities are equal. We wanted to work with a provider that matched our own standards for security, accessibility, and professionalism. Big Yellow Brighton ticked every box.
Their facilities include
• 24 hour monitored CCTV and controlled access gates
• Clean, dry, and modern storage units
• Convenient lift and trolley access
• Flexible unit sizes for everything from single items to full home contents
• A central location serving both Brighton & Sussex
We have seen first hand the difference between a good storage facility and a great one. With Big Yellow, we can confidently promise our customers peace of mind, knowing their belongings are protected and accessible whenever they need them.
Working in the removals industry, I deal with a wide range of storage companies on a regular basis and I can say with confidence that Big Yellow Self Storage Brighton stands out as the best. Simeon and the team are consistently professional, knowledgeable and helpful, ensuring you’re provided with exactly what you need without any unnecessary upselling. With 24-hour access, insurance cover up to £10,000 and excellent customer service, they set the standard. Big Yellow Hove also has similarly high standards, but Brighton remains my first choice whenever I need secure, reliable storage in the area. Highly recommended. - Peter, ESV
How Our Combined Service Works
The idea is simple. One experienced local team handles everything from your doorstep to your storage unit.
Here is how it works
- Free quote or video survey. We assess your move, provide an accurate estimate, and help you decide what storage space you will need.
- Packing and preparation. We can supply boxes, wrap, and materials, or do the full packing for you.
- Collection and transport. Our trained team loads your items carefully into the van and drives them directly to your storage unit.
- Load in and unit setup. We organise your storage unit so frequently used items are at the front, heavier items are safely stacked, and everything fits efficiently.
- Optional redelivery. When you are ready, we bring your belongings back from storage and help you settle into your new home.
It is removals and storage made simple, with one contact, one quote, and one trusted local team serving Brighton & Sussex.

44 % of UK domestic self-storage customers use a facility because they are moving home. - moveralerts.co.uk
Choosing a combined removals and storage service offers more than just convenience. Here is what our customers receive
• No double handling. Your belongings move directly from your home to the storage unit with fewer hands and less risk.
• Time savings. We coordinate the entire process, saving you multiple trips and calls.
• Transparent pricing. We help you choose the right unit size to avoid paying for unused space.
• Secure and insured. We are fully insured for goods in transit up to £20,000 and public liability up to £5 million.
• Local expertise. As a Brighton & Sussex based, family run business, you will deal directly with me, Peter, not a call centre.
We understand how stressful moving can be. That is why we have built this Brighton homemove service around communication, care, and reliability, the same values our customers already trust us for.
A Real Example: From Flat to Big Yellow Self Storage in a Single Afternoon
Recently, we helped a couple in Kemptown who were between homes. Their new property was not yet ready, and they needed short term storage for a two bedroom flat’s worth of furniture.
We loaded, transported, and stored everything in just under five hours. By working directly with Big Yellow Brighton, we pre arranged their 75 square foot unit, saving them from renting unnecessary space. When they finally received their new keys, we redelivered everything exactly when promised.
That is the kind of smooth, end to end Brighton homemove experience we wanted to make available to all our customers.
Pro Tips for Choosing the Right Storage Unit Size
If you are unsure what size storage unit you need, here is a quick guide we share with clients across Brighton & Sussex
- Studio or one bedroom flat – 50 to 75 square feet – around half a transit van load
- Two bedroom flat or small house – 75 to 100 square feet – around one Luton van
- Three bedroom house – 125 to 150 square feet – one to one and a half Luton vans
- Four bedroom house or larger – 150 to 200 square feet – two or more Luton vans
We always review your inventory and help you downsize if your chosen unit is larger than you need. It is about saving space and money, not overselling.
Moving and Storage for Brighton & Sussex Students
Brighton & Sussex have a large student population that often needs short term storage between semesters. If you are heading home for summer or moving between student houses, we can collect your belongings, store them safely, and redeliver them when you return.
You will only pay for the space and time you actually need, and you can rest easy knowing your things are secure, insured, and stored locally.
What to Expect on Move Day
Highly recommend Peter and his crew. They are incredibly professional, friendly, & efficient. The move from the storage unit to my new house was seamless & stress-free with their help. All of the boxes were transported quickly & handled with care. Thank you again! - Amy W
On moving day, we arrive on time with all the necessary equipment including protective blankets, straps, and covers. We load everything securely, drive to Big Yellow Brighton, and handle the unloading directly into your unit.
If you have booked packing or furniture disassembly, we will complete that before transport. If you are storing fragile or high value items such as art, electronics, or instruments, we make sure they are safely wrapped and correctly positioned inside the unit.
You are welcome to visit and see your storage setup once it is complete. We will meet you there if you wish.
