How much does a student move cost?
As a broad industry guide, moving one student's room between halls, a house share or home often costs £120–£300. It is priced as a part-load rather than a full removal, with the final figure based on distance, access and how much needs moving.
Key facts
- Service area
- Basingstoke and roughly 40 miles across Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey; university runs further afield by quote
- Van & equipment
- Luton van with tail lift; part-load pricing
- Availability
- Seven days a week; busiest in June, July and September
- Insurance
- Fully insured — goods in transit and public liability
- How to book
- Send photos or a WhatsApp video, or use the instant estimate; you get a fixed quote back the same day

What it is
A room's worth of stuff, priced like a room's worth of stuff.
Student moves have their own rules: a hard checkout date, a narrow loading bay, a lift shared with forty other people, and a load that is genuinely small — a bed's worth of bedding, a desk, a few crates and far too many books. Charging full removal rates for that is daft, so we do not.
We book term-end and September slots early because everybody needs the same fortnight. If three of you in a house-share are going to different addresses, tell us and we plan it as one run with multiple drops rather than three separate bookings at three separate prices.
What's included
- Small-load pricing — you pay for a room, not a house
- Multi-drop runs for house-shares split across addresses
- Term-end and September dates held in advance
- Help with the bits that never fit: mirrors, lamps, drying racks
- Loading-bay and permit timings worked around
- Optional clean of the room or house before inspection
Common signs
When we get the student calls
Term-end checkout
Halls want the room empty by a set hour, with a queue at the lift.
Moving into a house-share
First year to second year, out of halls and into a rented terrace.
Home for the summer
Everything back to the family house for three months, then back again.
Storing between years
Belongings into a self-storage unit until the new tenancy starts.
How we work
Simple, honest, sorted.
Quote
Send a photo of the room and tell us the checkout time. Small loads get a price back fast, usually same day.
Move day
We work to the checkout deadline, not our own convenience, and deal with lifts and loading bays so you do not queue twice.
Drop or store
Straight to the new address, split across house-share drops, or into a storage unit until the next tenancy starts.
We carry out student & university moves across Basingstoke, Reading, Winchester and the wider Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire area — and nationwide when the job takes us further.
Reassurance
Total peace of mind
Fully insured
Cover is in place before anything is loaded. Ask and we will send the certificate.
Fixed, free quotes
No obligation, no pressure, and the number we agree is the number you pay.
Careful by default
Wrapping, padding and straps are part of the job, not an upsell on the day.
Left tidy
Packaging taken away and the space swept, whichever service you booked.
Honest answers
Student moves questions
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in June. You are quoted for your load only, and if a housemate wants to share the trip we will price that as one run rather than two.
Both, plus Farnborough and Aldershot house-shares. Anything inside the 40-mile local band is a local rate; further afield is still a job, just priced for the mileage.
We can. A room or house-share clean can be added to the same booking, which is normally the difference between getting the deposit back and arguing about it by email in August.
