Plan Your Move

Student moves suit boxes, suitcases and small furniture travelling between halls, a shared flat, a family home or storage. List the belongings you are taking, including furniture, rather than relying only on the size of your room. If housemates are moving together, describe each person's load and destination.

Check your halls or flat access

Confirm the check-in or check-out window, when keys are available and where the van may load. Ask about lift bookings and entry arrangements. If a parent or housemate will be there instead of you, agree who will hand over and receive the items.

Keep shared loads separate

Label boxes and furniture with their owner and destination. Keep your housemates' belongings separate, seal loose items in suitable boxes and include every collection or delivery address when requesting the quote.

Arrange storage access in advance

For a storage transfer, book your storage space separately and confirm the opening hours, unit floor, loading entrance and how the collector can gain access. A later collection from storage needs its own agreed date and transport arrangements.

Vehicle and crew

The combined load and access at both buildings determine the van and lifting help needed. Include desks, beds and other bulky pieces alongside bags and boxes. Tell us about stairs, lift dimensions, loading entrances and any time limit set by the accommodation team.

How your quote is worked out

Request a quote with your item list, both addresses, floor and lift access, date and any extra help needed. Shared collections, additional stops and a later return journey must be discussed before confirmation; they are not automatically included in a one-way move.

What is not included as standard

  • Storage-space rental; arrange the unit and access with your storage provider.
  • Packing, furniture dismantling or assembly unless included in your quote.
  • Accommodation keys, lift reservations or parking permissions unless separately agreed.

How to arrange your move

  1. Step 1

    Describe your move

    Start a quote with collection and destination details, your inventory and the help you need. Add stairs, parking, large items and any extra stops.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a date and review the quote

    Check the available options, price and included work. For unusual access or specialist items, contact the team before confirming.

  3. Step 3

    Confirm and prepare

    Complete the booking and keep the confirmation details. If the items, addresses or access change, contact the team so the plan and price can be reviewed.

Student Moves — Common Questions

Do I need to be a registered student?
No. The service is priced around student-volume loads, so it can also suit small rooms, shared flats, or family collections.
Can I share a van with a housemate?
Often, yes, if the pickup and drop-off route is practical. Add the details when requesting a quote so the time and van size are realistic.
Do you move items into and out of storage?
Yes. Storage transfers are common for student moves. Provide the storage facility address and any access code or opening-hour restrictions.
