Moving into or out of halls
Check arrival or departure instructions with the accommodation provider. A booked moving slot and an available unloading point make planning easier.
Shared-flat and end-of-term moves
For a shared move, label belongings by person and destination. Include every stop in the enquiry rather than adding addresses after the price is agreed.
Boxes, bikes and room furniture
List luggage, boxes, desks and any bicycle separately. Protect loose or fragile belongings and keep essential documents with you.
A Student Move, Step by Step
Student moves are tight on time and light on spare hands. Working through the steps in order keeps them calm.
Two weeks before
Count suitcases, boxes and larger items such as a desk, mini fridge or bicycle. Ask your accommodation provider for written check-out and check-in times.
The week of the move
Pack and label boxes, disassemble what you can and agree who meets the driver at each end. Keep your passport, laptop, keys and chargers with you.
On the day
Keep the route clear, check the halls loading rules and be ready when the driver arrives. Tell the driver straight away if anything has changed from your request.
Halls, Shared Houses and Storage Stops
Halls often have loading slots and lift limits. Shared houses may have one van but several owners, which makes labelling by person important. If you need an interim stop at storage or a relative's home, include it in the first request.
Student Removals London: Halls, Shared Houses and Term Dates
Student moves are bound by dates that cannot slip: hall check-out, tenancy start and exam periods. Build in a buffer and obtain written instructions from the accommodation provider.

Student Removals London — frequently asked questions
Is this service available for my date?
Availability is checked for your route, vehicle and crew. Sending your details does not reserve a slot until your booking is confirmed.
What if the job changes?
Send the revised details before collection so scope, timing and price can be reviewed under the applicable terms.
Can I use the student discount here?
Use STUDENT12 for 12% off when you show valid student ID to your driver on moving day. Choose Apply & book to carry your code into booking, then review your actual quote. Use only one percentage code per booking.
How does the £10 referral reward work?
Share your personal referral link before your friend creates their account. After their first paid booking, you and your friend each receive £10 credit for a future booking. This is booking credit, not cash or an upfront discount on their first booking.
Can I move on my own without help?
Yes, if you can carry your items. Say clearly whether you will help load so the quote assumes the right crew.
What if my halls move-out window is short?
State the window in your request and the latest time the van can arrive. Availability is checked for the whole job and is not guaranteed.
Can several students share one van?
Yes. List every person's items and every address in one request, and agree between yourselves how costs are split.
How much will a small student move cost?
Instant quote guidance starts from £35/hour: Small Van £35–£45/hour, Medium Van (SWB) £40–£50/hour, Large Van £45–£55/hour, Luton Van £50–£60/hour, with a 2-hour minimum in the estimate calculation. These Instant quote base figures are not a job total. A small load may still use the minimum, so check the total in your quote.
Can the driver take a bicycle?
List it as a separate item so space and securing can be considered. Remove pedals or turn handlebars if that helps it fit.
What if I do not have an exact address yet?
Give the best address you have and update it before collection. A missing destination makes the quote less reliable.
Do I need to be present?
Someone should be there at each end to release and receive belongings. A flatmate or accommodation staff contact can do this if you pass on the number.
What should I keep with me?
Keep documents, laptop, valuables, medication and keys with you rather than in the van.
Can I move to a city outside London?
Include the full destination in the request so route and availability can be checked. Coverage is decided per request.
