In short: most student moves are a Short Move: one mover and a van for up to two hours. Moving with flatmates? Book one van between you and split it.
What we move
Suitcases, bags, boxes, a desk and chair, a mini fridge, a bike, a guitar, a mattress. If it fits in a van, we’ll move it.
Book early around term dates
Late June and September are the busiest weeks for student moves in London. Book as soon as you know your dates.
Tips for a student move
- Use suitcases and holdalls first. They’re free boxes with handles.
- Check your halls’ move-out time and whether the van needs a loading bay booking.
- Take meter readings and photos of your room on the way out. It helps with your deposit.
- Moving home for the summer? Book the same van to bring you back in September.
