Housing here breaks down into a handful of distinct pockets. Aldwick, just along the coast, is known for its early-20th-century, relatively ornate architecture and a large conservation area: a higher-value, low-density pocket of bungalows and houses quite different from the rest of the town. Along the Esplanade and around the pier, older guesthouses and villas have been carved into flats over the decades, while North and South Bersted, on the A259 side of town, carry a mix of estate housing and the odd Victorian survivor near St Mary Magdalene’s church.
None of it comes with room to spare. A bungalow bought for retirement rarely has the loft space of the house it replaced, a converted seafront flat has stairs and no driveway, and an estate semi out toward Bersted often has a single garage already full of bikes and garden kit. Either way, the same crew turns up, loads on the doorstep, and carries everything straight into your own sealed container.
We take that container inland to our warehouse rather than leave anything sitting in a garage or shed on the coast while you decide what happens next. The crew loads and seals the container as part of collection, and the whole job — survey to collection — is usually wrapped up in a single visit.
