Whether you are running an independent shop near Albert Road, managing an e-commerce brand in Fratton, or keeping client files secure for a practice in Gunwharf Quays, commercial space on the South Coast comes at a premium.

Why pay high commercial rents just to hold seasonal stock, trade tools, or archive boxes?
Commercial storage gives you complete control over your space:

✅ Containerised Storage: Sealed units kept in our highly secure, European-standard facility—ideal for archived documents, trade equipment, or excess stock.

✅ Complete Protection: Your stock and assets are covered under MoveProtect, giving you complete peace of mind while they are in our care.

✅Flexible & Cost-Effective: Scale your storage space up or down as seasonal demands shift. We can even collect directly from your premises!

Reclaim your floor space for the things that actually generate revenue.

Scratched doorframes or muddy carpets on moving day? Not on our watch.

We know that moving house is about far more than just getting boxes from A to B. It’s about knowing your home and your belongings are treated with respect every step of the way.

From our initial pre-move survey right through to the final box unpacked, our team goes the extra mile. Laying down floor protection, fitting door frame guards, and individually wrapping your furniture before it even touches the van.

Let us handle the heavy lifting while keeping your home spotless.

We’ve all been there: you tell yourself you’ll start packing weeks in advance, and suddenly it’s the night before moving day and you’re staring down a mountain of tape and cardboard in complete panic! 📦

Packing almost always takes twice as long as expected. But you don't have to tackle it alone.

Whether you need us to handle just the delicate kitchen china, or you want our team to wrap and pack your entire house from top to bottom, professional packing is one of the easiest ways to take the stress out of your move.

Here is why so many Hampshire movers leave it to us:

✅ Tailored Options: Choose between a Full Pack, a Part Pack, or Fragile-Only support to match your budget and schedule.

✅ Better Protection: Our trained team uses purpose-made materials, double-walled cartons, and custom furniture covers. Because our team packs your items, your belongings are fully protected under our MoveProtect transit cover.

✅ The Ultimate Perk: Once you're in your new home, we can unpack onto flat surfaces and take all the empty boxes and packaging waste away with us—saving you endless trips to the recycling centre!

Let’s be honest: nobody wants to lug four suitcases, a microwave, and ten boxes of textbooks back home on the train for the summer, only to bring it all back to Portsmouth in September!

We make summer student storage completely hassle-free:

1. We collect your items straight from your halls or shared house.

2. Your belongings stay safe, dry, and fully insured in our highly secure, European-standard containerised warehouse.

3. We re-deliver everything right to your new doorstep in time for the new academic year.

Starting from as little as £25 to £40 a month for a single room's worth of belongings, it’s an affordable way to keep your summer stress-free.

Don't wait until the last week of term when collection slots fill up!

Ever had one of those grey February mornings where you daydream about olive groves and a glass of wine on a warm terrace? You're not the only one in Hampshire thinking about it.

More and more people from Portsmouth, Fareham and Chichester are actually going through with the move to Italy. But since Brexit it's a different process than it used to be. You'll need the right visa, a plan for tax and healthcare, and (if you've got a dog or cat) a fresh look at the pet travel rules, which changed again this April.

We've put together a full 2026 guide covering all of it, plus what to actually expect when it comes to shipping your belongings over.

First time using a moving company? We know handing over your belongings can feel daunting, but it doesn't have to be. 📦✨

We recently helped a customer who decided to step out for a few hours while we handled the heavy lifting. By 5:30 PM, they were fully unpacked in their new home, even after our team navigated multiple flights of stairs!

Here is what they had to say about the experience:

"From the moment the guys started it was faultless, we left them to it in the morning and went out for a few hours, came back to almost complete empty house... unpacked by 5:30 pm and nothing was too much trouble, up multiple flights of stairs with heavy boxes and furniture and generally just a good laugh as well which helps on a stressful day. 100% recommended."

At Curtiss & Sons, we’ve been taking the stress out of moving since 1871. Whether you are navigating an awkward top-floor flat or relocating a large family home, our trusted, BAR-accredited team is here to make your moving day seamless, highly organised, and maybe even a little fun.

Does your standard home contents policy cover your belongings while they are in the back of a removal van? 🛡

It is a common assumption, but the reality often catches Portsmouth movers by surprise. Standard removal liability usually caps compensation at around £50 per item, and if you pack your own boxes, internal breakages are frequently excluded entirely.

At Curtiss & Sons, we believe moving home should be a journey built on absolute peace of mind. With over 150 years of heritage and a history that includes holding the Royal Warrant, we don't just move your belongings. We protect them.

That is why we offer MoveProtect, a specialist transit protection solution that provides continuous, comprehensive cover for your most valued possessions, with zero excess to pay.

Navigating a flat removal on the South Coast comes with its own unique set of challenges.

Unlike a traditional house move, apartment relocations often involve restricted parking, narrow staircases, shared entrances, and busy city streets. Whether you are moving into a compact Southsea apartment or a luxury waterfront development, the logistics require careful, expert planning.

At Curtiss & Sons, we have been mastering the tight streets and awkward access points of Portsmouth for over 150 years. We handle the heavy lifting, the parking suspensions, and the safe transport of your belongings, allowing you to enjoy a calm and perfectly organized moving day.

We've just published a comprehensive guide to Flat Removals in Portsmouth, covering everything from managing lift access to dismantling oversized furniture.

Read the full guide on our website today, and learn how our highly secure, European-standard containerised storage can act as the perfect safety net if your move-in dates don't quite align.

Ready for a stress-free move? Let our experienced team take over.
