Is a man with a van in Eastbourne cheaper than van hire?

For most small moves it works out similar or cheaper once you count fuel, insurance and your own time — and the driver does the lifting with you.

What size van do you use?

Most bookings use a Luton van, which fits roughly a studio or one-bed flat. Smaller jobs may get a medium van.

Do you help with downsizing moves in Eastbourne?

Yes — we can move part of a household into an apartment and take the rest to storage or clearance.

Moving in Eastbourne — local notes

Victorian seafront villas split into flats, retirement apartments, terraced streets and suburban family homes.

Seafront flats often have lifts but limited parking. Many retirement buildings have set move-in times, so we plan with the management.
