Removals Shoreham-by-Sea
Removal Company Shoreham
At DJS Moves, we apply military discipline and family business values to relocations throughout Shoreham-by-Sea.
This working port town sits where the River Adur meets the coast, creating a distinctive character quite different from typical Sussex seaside towns.
Our experience moving across Shoreham’s varied areas, from the old town’s narrow streets to modern waterside developments and everything between, means we understand exactly what each location requires for smooth, efficient relocations.
Our Removal Services In Shoreham
Here are our most popular services our local customers use us for:
Home Removals
Shoreham combines working port character with residential areas that range dramatically in style and access. Old Shoreham features period properties with narrow approach roads, while the newer waterside developments near the beach offer modern apartments with their own parking challenges.
We’ve moved families across all of Shoreham’s distinct areas, from terraced houses in the town centre to detached properties toward Southwick and everything between. The toll bridge, port traffic, and beach visitors all affect timing, so we plan routes and schedules around these realities rather than discovering problems on moving day.
Office Relocations
Shoreham’s economy mixes port operations, light industry, creative businesses, and retail in ways that make each commercial move different. We’ve relocated workshops, offices, retail units, and storage operations across town, understanding that business continuity matters more than convenient scheduling.
Your trading patterns drive our planning. If moving your shop needs to happen Sunday when you’re closed, or your office relocation works better over a weekend, we make it happen rather than forcing you into weekday disruption.
Student Moves
Young people from Shoreham families heading to Brighton universities or colleges further afield need straightforward moving services without complicated booking systems or inflated pricing.
We provide student relocations that work with academic calendars and accommodation dates, keeping things simple and costs reasonable.
Moving Abroad
Moving from Shoreham to France, Ireland, Spain, or elsewhere in Europe requires reliable transport across the Channel.
We manage the logistics of getting your possessions to your destination country, handling routing and coordination so you can concentrate on the practical challenges of establishing yourself abroad.
Full Packing Service
Professional packing significantly reduces moving stress and protects your belongings properly. Our team uses quality materials and techniques developed through years of handling everything from standard household contents to items requiring specialist care.
We can pack your entire property methodically or focus on specific items that concern you, perhaps valuable pieces, awkward shapes, or simply the rooms you’d rather not deal with yourself.
Storage Solutions
Moving timelines and life circumstances rarely align perfectly. Our secure storage facilities provide space for your belongings whether you need a brief gap between properties or extended storage during work abroad or life transitions.
Everything stays in clean, monitored conditions until you’re ready to complete your move.
Additional Services to Complete Your Move
Post-Move Cleaning
Properties need thorough cleaning once everything’s removed, whether you’re completing a sale, ending a tenancy, or preparing for new occupants. Through our established cleaning partners, we arrange professional teams who handle the complete job, kitchens, bathrooms, floors, windows, and all the areas that get overlooked during busy moving periods.
They work to whatever standard your situation demands, from basic clean to full deep-clean that satisfies the strictest landlord inspections.
Garden Maintenance & Clearance
Outdoor spaces frequently become problems during property handovers, especially if they’ve been neglected during the stressful moving period. We coordinate with local contractors who tackle garden clearance efficiently, removing overgrown vegetation, clearing accumulated rubbish, and bringing gardens back to acceptable condition.
This eliminates the need for you to organise skip hire or spend weekends making trips to waste facilities when you’ve got enough to deal with.

Customer Testimonials
Here are our latest 5 star reviews from our valued customers:
I honestly cannot recommend DJS enough! As a new company doing rubbish clearance I took a risk asking someone I was unfamiliar with as I know we all worry about fly tipping but I’m so glad I did! Dan went above and beyond to help clear my garden rubbish and waste, took more than I thought was possible for the price I was quoted but he was happy to hang around and make sure he took everything I needed gone and also collected a bed and delivered for me all in one day!
Dan turned up on time and was very polite. Excellent service removing my rubbish and left the area looking neat and tidy. Very reasonable on the price and would 100% recommend!
Prompt, efficient value for money, all these things are what you get plus hard workers committed to surpassing your requirements. We have not seen a removals firm work this hard tirelessly. Daniel and crew get on with it and does the job. Very pleased and will definitely use again.
Great service, communication is excellent including tracking, polite and friendly and respectful of items moved .. thank you
Excellent service. Kept in touch. Would use again.
Dan and his helper Alfie were amazing. I had a nightmare move where my new house purchase didn’t complete on the same day as my house sale. I found myself with all my belongings needing to go into storage over the weekend and then move again on Monday. Dan and Alfie didn’t bat an eyelid when the goods needed to go to a new location last minute. They worked non stop, taking care with my things, late into the evening until the job was done. Hard recommend.
Dan was an absolute star. We had a challenging move from England to Northern Ireland in the middle of storm Floris and he proactively amended his plans as conditions changed (including which ferry to take, and moving our possessions between trucks!) in order to ensure he made the crossing on the scheduled date. He was professional and communicative throughout the process so we always knew what was going on, even when arrival timings were slightly delayed due to circumstances outside anyone's control. We would definitely use his services again, and would highly recommend him to anyone else moving house.
Moving to Shoreham?
Town Character
Shoreham-by-Sea functions as a working port town rather than a traditional seaside resort, which gives it a completely different atmosphere from neighbouring Brighton or Worthing. The River Adur defines much of the town’s character, with the harbour, working port operations, and boat yards creating an industrial edge that coexists with residential areas and beach access.
The old town around East Street and High Street retains genuine character, independent shops, traditional pubs, and a community feel that’s survived despite development pressures from all directions.
Property & Pricing
Property types vary dramatically depending on which part of Shoreham you’re considering. The old town features Victorian terraces and period cottages, often with limited parking but bags of character.
Newer developments near the beach and along the river offer modern apartments and townhouses, many with water views that command premium prices. Areas like Southwick (technically separate but effectively joined to Shoreham) provide more traditional suburban housing with gardens and garages.
Prices sit below Brighton levels but increasingly attract people priced out of the city who still want coastal access. The creative industries presence gives Shoreham a slightly bohemian edge that appeals to artists, musicians, and media professionals alongside traditional families.
Schools & Education
Shoreham supports several primary schools including St Nicolas & St Mary CE Primary and Buckingham Park Primary. Secondary education comes primarily through Shoreham Academy, which serves the local area.
Brighton and Hove’s schools remain accessible for those willing to manage the commute, giving families additional options if local provision doesn’t suit their requirements.
Transport & Connections
Shoreham station provides regular services along the coast and up to London (Brighton to Victoria takes around an hour, Shoreham adds another 15 minutes). The A27 bypasses the town to the north, offering quick access east to Brighton or west toward Worthing and Chichester.
Shoreham Airport operates from the town, primarily handling light aircraft, flight training, and some commercial operations, but it’s not a major passenger airport. Brighton remains the hub for broader transport connections, easily reachable by road or rail.
Port & Beach Life
The working port defines Shoreham in ways that affect daily life. Port traffic, maritime operations, and commercial activity create a different atmosphere from purely residential coastal towns.
The beach stretches westward, less developed than Brighton’s seafront but offering actual space and a more relaxed feel. Beach Green provides open space near the town centre, while the river offers water sports, sailing, and the boat community that gives Shoreham much of its distinctive character.
