About this service
We offer affordable and flexible moving services for students moving to or from university accommodation. Our man with a van service is well suited to the typical student move, giving you a cost-effective way to move your belongings without hiring and driving a van yourself.
Student moves tend to cluster around the start and end of term, when halls have set move-out dates. If your date is fixed, contact us early so we can plan around it.

- Collection from halls, shared flats or the family home
- Help carrying boxes, bags and furniture

Access, parking and timing
Accommodation time slots
Halls often give move-in and move-out windows. Tell us yours so we can work to it.
Packing
Packed, sealed boxes are quicker and safer to move than loose bags.
Shared flats
Coordinate with flatmates so only your belongings are loaded.
Limitations
If you share a booking with flatmates, all items should be ready together, and each person's belongings should be clearly labelled.
How booking works
Tell us about the job
Use the quote form, WhatsApp or a phone call to send the addresses, items, access details and your preferred date.

Moving day
We arrive, load carefully, transport your belongings and unload them where you want them.
Frequently asked questions
Can friends share a van?
Yes, if the addresses make sense together. Tell us how many people and addresses are involved when you ask for a quote.
Can you move my things into storage over summer?
Yes. See our storage moves service, or mention it in your quote request.
Is it cheaper than hiring a van myself?
That depends on your job, but our quotes include a driver who helps lift, so you do not need to drive, load or return a hire van.
