Student Moves in Portsmouth

Student moves cover a single room of belongings for anyone heading into halls, out to a shared house or back home for the holidays in Portsmouth. The van and the price are both sized for one room, not a family home.

With the University of Portsmouth sitting in the middle of the city, we do a lot of them. We cover the island and the surrounding streets, Southsea and Fratton included, and can often join two housemates' trips together on the same day to split the cost.

A van sized to one room

You do not need a lorry to shift a bed, a desk, a few boxes and a case. We bring a van that fits one room's worth of things, which keeps the price down and gets it done in a single trip, instead of paying for space you never fill.

If two of you in the same house move on the same day, we can often join the trips and split the cost between you.

Halls, shared houses and summer storage

We know the quirks of student digs: sign-in desks, shared entrances, narrow corridors and strict move-in windows, and we work inside all of them so you are not left outside your block with your life in bags. Between tenancies over summer, we can also run things to or from a storage unit.

Tell us the building and floor and we plan the carry to fit.

Booking around term dates

Everyone moves in the same fortnight in September, then again as tenancies turn over in summer, and those dates book out fast. The sooner you lock a slot in, the better, and we hold pricing steady rather than pushing it up in the busy weeks.

Give us your move date the moment you know it and we keep a slot for you.

Prices a student can plan for

Student pricing stays plain: the size of the load and the distance, nothing hidden. No membership, no admin fee and no surprise charge when we pull up.

Send us the details and we will come back with a figure you can actually budget around.

Frequently asked questions

Do you move single rooms?+

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

Can two of us share a move?+

If you are in the same house and moving the same day, we can often combine the trips and split the cost. Ask when you book.

Can you move things into storage?+

Yes, we can run belongings to or from a storage unit, handy in the gap between tenancies over summer.

Do you cover the university halls and the streets around them?+

Yes, the halls and the shared houses through Somerstown, Fratton and Southsea are close together, which keeps those runs short and the price with them.

How busy is the September fortnight?+

It is the busiest stretch of our year and the good slots go weeks ahead. If your dates are set by the university or a tenancy agreement, tell us the moment you have them rather than the week before.

What if my new room is not ready until the afternoon?+

Say so when you book and we build the slot around the handover. Loading in the morning and delivering later the same day is a normal way to run it, and it beats turning up to a locked door.
