Student Moves in Canterbury
Student moves in Canterbury are priced and sized for one room's worth of belongings on a tight budget, whether you are heading into halls, out to a shared house or home for the summer. The moving date is usually fixed by the term calendar rather than by you, and we work to it.
Canterbury is a proper university city, with the University of Kent on the hill, Canterbury Christ Church near the centre and the arts university close by, so these moves are a big part of our week. We bring a van suited to a single room rather than a family home, and we cover nearby areas such as Blean and Wincheap.
A van sized for one room
Shifting a bed, a desk, a few boxes and a couple of suitcases does not need a big lorry. We bring a van sized for a single room, which keeps the price sensible and gets it done in one trip. That is the difference between a proper student move and paying for space you never fill.
If two of you in the same house are moving on the same day, we can often combine the run and split the cost between you.
Halls, house shares and summer storage
We know the quirks of student accommodation here: the halls up at the Kent campus with their barriers and move-in windows, the terraces around Wincheap and the streets near Christ Church packed with shared houses. We work within the sign-in desks and narrow corridors so you are not left outside with your things in boxes.
Between tenancies over summer, we can also move belongings to or from a storage unit. Tell us the building and the floor and we plan the carry around it.
Booking around term dates
Everyone in Canterbury seems to move in the same couple of weeks in September, and again as tenancies turn over through summer. Those dates go fast, so the sooner you lock a slot the better.
We keep our pricing steady rather than pushing it up in the busy weeks, so give us your date as soon as you know it and we will hold a slot.
A budget you can plan around
Student pricing stays simple and honest: the size of the load and the distance, with nothing hidden. No membership, no admin fee and no surprise charge appearing when we arrive.
Send us the details and we will give you a figure you can genuinely budget for.
