Student Moves in York

Student moves are sized and priced for one room and a tight budget, halls, house shares and single rooms shifted on the university calendar rather than on your own timetable.

The dates are set by term, and with the University of York out at Heslington and York St John near the centre, one fortnight sees half the city changing rooms at once. Heading into halls, out to a share near the centre, or home for summer, we cover York and areas like Fishergate and Fulford with a van suited to a single room rather than a family house.

A van sized for one room

A bed, a desk, a few boxes and a couple of cases do not need a lorry. We bring a van sized to a single room, which keeps the price down and gets it done in one trip, rather than paying for space you never fill.

If two of you in the same house move on the same day, we can often combine the run and split the cost.

Halls, shares and summer storage

Student accommodation has its quirks, sign-in desks, shared lifts, narrow corridors and strict move-in windows, and we work inside them so you are not stuck outside your block with everything in boxes. Between tenancies over summer, we can also move things to or from a storage unit.

Tell us the building and the floor and the carry gets planned around it.

The term-time rush

Everyone moves the same week in September, and again as tenancies flip over summer. Those dates go fast, so locking a slot early is worth it. Our pricing holds steady rather than climbing in the busy weeks.

Send your move date the moment you have it and we will hold a slot.

Pricing a student budget can plan around

Student pricing stays simple and honest: the size of the load and the distance, nothing tucked away. No membership, no admin fee, no charge appearing out of nowhere on the day.

Frequently asked questions

Do you move single rooms?+

Yes, single-room moves are one of our most common jobs. The right-sized van means you are not paying for space you do not need.

Can two of us share a move?+

In the same house and moving the same day, we can often combine the trip and split the cost. Ask when you book.

Can you move things into storage?+

Yes, belongings can go to or from a storage unit, which helps between tenancies over the summer.

Do you go out to the Heslington campuses?+

Yes, out to the Heslington campuses and around the central buildings alike, along with the shared houses through Fishergate, Badger Hill and Tang Hall. Those runs are short, which keeps them cheap.

How early should I book for the September rush?+

Earlier than feels necessary. That fortnight is the busiest stretch of our year and the good slots go weeks ahead, so send your date the moment the university or your landlord confirms it.

Can you take everything home at the end of the year?+

Yes, and it is quoted as one door-to-door trip rather than by the mile, however far south or west home happens to be. Give us the two postcodes and you will have a figure back quickly.
