Student Moves in Edinburgh

Student moves cover a single room's worth of belongings, priced and sized for a student budget and the dates the university calendar sets rather than you. We bring a van suited to one room instead of a whole family house, which keeps the cost down and gets the job done in one run.

With the university and the colleges drawing people in from all over, someone is always shifting flats. Whether you are heading into halls, out to a shared flat around Newington or Marchmont, or home for the summer, the move is scaled to what you are actually carrying.

Sized for one room

You do not need a lorry to move a bed, a desk, a few boxes and a suitcase. We bring a van that fits a single room, which keeps the price down and usually means one trip.

If two of you in the same flat are both moving on the same day, we can often combine the run and split the cost between you.

Halls, shared flats and storage

Student accommodation has its own quirks: sign-in desks, shared entrances, narrow corridors and strict move-in windows. We work within them so you are not left standing outside your block with your life in bags. Between lets over the summer, we can also move things into or out of a storage unit.

Tell us the building and the floor and we plan the carry around it.

Booking around term dates

Everyone seems to move in the same fortnight in September, and again as lets turn over through the summer. Those dates go quickly, so the sooner you lock in a slot the better.

We hold our pricing steady rather than pushing it up in the busy weeks.

Pricing you can plan around

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

Send us the details and we give you a figure you can actually budget for.
