Littlehampton sits either side of the mouth of the River Arun, with a working harbour still active behind the seafront. The housing splits into two clear types: Victorian and Edwardian terraces and seafront flats packed close to the old town centre, and newer estates further out at Wick and Toddington that have absorbed the surrounding villages over recent decades. Neither type tends to come with much spare room for a growing pile of boxes.
That housing stock shapes what people actually need collected. Terraced houses and flats near the old town centre often have narrow stairwells and no driveway to park a van on, while a full house clearance further out on one of the newer estates usually means several rooms’ worth of furniture leaving in one go. Either way, someone else doing the carrying and the lifting is the part that actually saves a day.
Sea air is unkind to anything kept in a coastal garage or shed — damp works into timber and soft furnishings, and metal begins to corrode — so rather than store near the front, we take your sealed container well inland to our dry, alarmed Ashington warehouse. Loading and sealing the container is part of that collection service, while packing your belongings is an optional extra — see our storage size guide to work out how many containers your move will need.
