Professional Removal Services in Steyning
Removal Company Steyning
At DJS Moves, we recognise that moving in Steyning requires specialist understanding.
This historic market town at the foot of the South Downs features over 125 listed buildings, timber-framed houses dating back centuries, and a High Street that’s functioned as a trading centre since Anglo-Saxon times.
Our veteran-led team has handled relocations here repeatedly, learning which narrow lanes demand particular vehicle access, how the lack of through traffic (thanks to the bypass) affects scheduling, and why period properties need careful handling rather than standard removal approaches.
Our Removal Services In Steyning
Here are our most popular services our local customers use us for:
Home Removals
Steyning’s housing stock tells the story of centuries rather than decades. Timber-framed cottages on High Street and Church Street require completely different handling from the Victorian terraces or modern homes on the town’s edges.
We’ve relocated families from medieval properties where doorways weren’t designed for modern furniture, to spacious family houses in newer developments where access runs smoothly.
The bypass removed through traffic years ago, which helps enormously with parking and manoeuvring, but the historic core still demands patience and precision rather than rushing.
Office Relocations
Independent shops dominate Steyning’s High Street, the Cobblestone Walk shopping village alone houses the largest collection of independent retailers in Sussex. We’ve relocated retail premises, offices, and professional services throughout the town, always recognising that closing for days costs money you can’t recover.
Your business operates to its own rhythm. We schedule moves around your trading patterns, whether that means weekend relocations to preserve weekday revenue or evening work to avoid disrupting customer footfall.
Student Moves
Steyning Grammar School draws pupils from across the surrounding area, while families here often send children to Brighton universities or colleges elsewhere. Student moves need straightforward logistics and realistic pricing, not complicated contracts demanding commitment months ahead.
We transport belongings between Steyning and term-time accommodation, working with academic schedules and accommodation handover dates without bureaucratic complications.
International Moves
Relocating from Steyning to France, Ireland, Spain, or other European countries requires getting possessions across the Channel reliably.
We manage transport logistics and routing, handling the practical movement side so you can concentrate on establishing yourself in a different country.
Full Packing Service
Professional packing transforms stressful preparation into systematic process. Our team brings quality materials and practical techniques developed through years handling diverse household contents, from everyday items to things demanding specialist attention.
Complete house packing or selective focus on items concerning you, valuable collections, fragile pieces, or rooms you’d rather avoid tackling yourself, either approach works.
Storage Solutions
Moving dates rarely align perfectly with life circumstances. Our secure facilities accommodate belongings for whatever duration you need, brief gaps between properties or extended storage during longer-term arrangements.
Clean, monitored conditions throughout, ready when you are.
Additional Services to Complete Your Move
Post-Move Cleaning
Properties reveal every accumulated mark and hidden dirt once furniture disappears. Whether you’re facing landlord inspections, preparing for completion, or simply want to hand over a property in proper condition, cleaning becomes essential rather than optional.
Through our network of professional cleaning partners, we arrange teams who tackle the complete job systematically. Kitchens get deep-cleaned including appliances, bathrooms scrubbed thoroughly, carpets treated, windows cleaned inside and out. They work to whatever standard your situation demands, from basic clean to spotless handover quality.
Garden Maintenance & Clearance
Outdoor spaces deteriorate rapidly when your attention focuses elsewhere during moves. Grass grows out of control, borders become overgrown, garden waste accumulates, and suddenly the garden threatens your completion date or deposit return.
We work with local contractors who restore these spaces to acceptable condition efficiently. They handle clearance, tidying, and waste removal without you needing to organise skips, make repeated tip runs, or spend precious time doing heavy garden work yourself.

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 Steyning?
Historic Character
Steyning delivers something increasingly rare, genuine historic character that hasn’t been sanitised into tourist attraction status. Over 125 listed buildings scatter across the town, many timber-framed and dating back centuries. High Street and Church Street preserve their medieval layout, while St Andrew’s Church stands as testament to the town’s importance dating back to Anglo-Saxon times.
The bypass removed through traffic years ago, transforming High Street from congested route into genuinely pleasant place to shop and live. Independent retailers dominate rather than national chains, the Cobblestone Walk alone houses the largest collection of independent shops in Sussex.
Property Market
Average house prices in Steyning sit around £540,000, reflecting the town’s desirability and South Downs location. Detached properties average £730,000, semi-detached around £470,000, terraced homes £410,000.
Property types vary dramatically. Timber-framed cottages and Georgian houses in the historic core command premiums for character and location. Victorian and Edwardian terraces offer period features at slightly lower prices. Modern developments on town edges provide contemporary living without sacrificing access to Steyning’s amenities and community.
Properties here hold value consistently. Limited housing stock, strong demand from families and downsizers, and the South Downs National Park setting all contribute to market stability.
Education
Steyning C of E Primary School serves younger children and holds a “Good” Ofsted rating. Steyning Grammar School provides secondary education with sixth form provision, serving around 1,950 pupils from a wide catchment extending across surrounding villages.
Education quality drives many family relocations here, though as with any school decision, visiting and assessing fit matters more than ratings alone.
Transport Reality
Steyning lacks a train station, the nearest being Shoreham-by-Sea approximately four miles away, offering services to Brighton, London, and Portsmouth. This represents the town’s main limitation for commuters relying on public transport.
The A283 bypasses the town, connecting north to Horsham and south toward the coast. The A24 and A27 sit within easy reach. Bus services operate to Brighton, Worthing, and surrounding areas, though frequency makes car ownership practically essential for most residents.
Living Here
Population sits around 5,800, large enough to support proper amenities yet small enough to maintain community feel. Monthly farmers market, annual Steyning Festival, active community groups, these function rather than existing purely on paper.
The South Downs surround the town. Walks onto the Downs start from town edges, the South Downs Way passes close by, and you’re genuinely in countryside within minutes rather than driving to reach it.
Three traditional pubs survive, restaurants and cafes provide dining options, and the museum documents local history for those interested. Everything needed daily exists within walking distance, while Brighton, Worthing, and Horsham provide broader options when required.
