Landlords & Letting Agents

We help landlords and agents with quick, tidy removals when student tenancies change over, including clearing abandoned items and moving furniture between properties.

We also assist departments and local businesses with office removals, moving IT equipment, boxed files and light furniture between offices or buildings in Roehampton.

What Is Included in Our Student Removals Service

Typical Items We Move

Our Roehampton student removals cover most everyday household and study items, including:

• Beds, mattresses and frames (dismantled if required)
• Desks, chairs and small bookcases
• Suitcases, rucksacks and holdalls
• Clothes rails and storage units
• Kitchenware, pots, pans and small appliances
• PCs, monitors, printers and gaming consoles
• Textbooks, folders and personal files
• TVs and audio equipment (securely wrapped)

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some things we normally exclude:

• Illegal or restricted items (including stolen goods)
• Open containers of paint, solvents or flammable liquids
• Gas cylinders and large fuel containers

If you are unsure about a particular item, ask us during your enquiry and we will advise.

Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with your move dates, addresses, rough inventory and any access details (halls, lifts, parking restrictions). We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of items, distance, and the level of help required (driver only or extra porters).

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For typical student moves, a quick virtual survey via video call or photos is usually enough. For larger flats or house shares, we can arrange an onsite survey in Roehampton to confirm access and ensure the correct vehicle and team size are allocated.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own belongings in boxes and bags, or choose our packing service if you prefer. We can supply packing materials such as boxes, tape and bubble wrap. Our team will advise on labelling and grouping items so unpacking is easier at the other end.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained crew will protect your items with blankets and straps, carefully carry everything from your room to the van, and secure it properly. We plan routes around Roehampton and London to minimise delays, and all moves are covered by our goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload and place items into the correct rooms as directed – whether that is a new halls block, a shared house or a family home. We can reassemble basic furniture we dismantled earlier and will not leave until you are satisfied everything is safely off the van.

Transparent Pricing for Roehampton Student Moves

We know budgets are tight for students, so our pricing is straightforward and explained in advance. Costs are based on:

• Distance between addresses
• Volume of items / size of vehicle needed
• Number of movers required
• Any additional services (packing, materials, dismantling)

We offer both fixed-price quotes for clearly defined moves and hourly rates for flexible, smaller jobs. There are no hidden charges for stairs or standard walking distances. Any potential extras, such as congestion or parking charges, are explained before you book.

Why Use Professional Student Removals Instead of DIY?

It is tempting to borrow a friend’s car or hire a cheap van, but there are clear advantages to using a professional removals team:

• Safety: Heavy items like mattresses and desks are lifted correctly, reducing risk of injury.
• Protection: Your belongings are wrapped, secured and transported in a vehicle set up for removals.
• Insurance: Our goods in transit insurance covers your items while they are with us.
• Reliability: You are not relying on friends’ availability or last-minute cancellations.
• Time-saving: We handle the logistics so you can focus on exams, work or settling in.

Compared with informal man-and-van operators, we offer trained staff, proper insurance and a structured process, giving you peace of mind throughout your move.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man With a Van Roehampton operates to clear professional standards expected within the UK removals industry:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while being moved
• Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams experienced in handling fragile, bulky and awkward items
• Clean, well-maintained vehicles equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys

This combination means your student move is handled with the same care and professionalism as a full house removal.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your belongings is our priority. We use removal blankets, straps and careful stacking techniques to prevent damage in transit. Fragile items are wrapped and clearly marked, and we follow best practice for lifting and carrying through tight stairwells and corridors often found in student halls and flats.

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible we:

• Reuse sturdy boxes and materials
• Encourage return or recycling of packing supplies
• Plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage

By consolidating smaller moves and planning carefully, we aim to reduce waste and emissions while still providing a reliable service.

Real-World Student Removal Scenarios in Roehampton

Moving into Halls

We regularly help first-year students move from home into Roehampton University halls, transporting clothes, study materials and a few key pieces of furniture. Parents often appreciate having a professional team manage the loading and unloading on what can be an emotional day.

Shared House Moves

Second- and third-year students often move into shared houses around Roehampton. We coordinate with housemates so multiple rooms can be moved in one go, keeping costs fair for everyone.

End-of-Term & Storage Moves

At the end of term, some students move their belongings into local storage instead of taking everything home. We can transport items directly to storage facilities and collect them again when your next tenancy begins.

Urgent & Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes tenancies fall through or dates change unexpectedly. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or next-day student removals in Roehampton to help you avoid being stuck without transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a student removal in Roehampton cost?

Costs vary depending on distance, volume and the level of help you need, but student moves are usually at the lower end of our pricing. Smaller room moves within Roehampton are often quoted on an hourly basis, while moves between cities or involving larger loads are priced as a fixed fee. We will ask for details of your items, addresses and access so we can quote accurately. There are no hidden extras; any parking or congestion charges are explained before you confirm your booking.

Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice student removals in Roehampton, especially outside peak weekends. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with your locations and a brief inventory. We will check vehicle and crew availability and give you a clear time window. For very last-minute bookings, flexibility on exact start time is helpful. While we cannot guarantee every request, we do our best to assist when plans change unexpectedly.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. All our student removals are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded by our team. We also hold public liability cover for added peace of mind. We will explain any standard exclusions, such as cash or jewellery, and what level of cover applies. For particularly high-value items, please tell us in advance so we can advise on packing and confirm the appropriate arrangements.

What is included in your student removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, at least one trained mover, loading and unloading, protective blankets and secure transport between your addresses. We place items into the rooms you specify at your new property. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and basic dismantling and reassembly of furniture like beds and desks. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so you know precisely what to expect on moving day.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While we do offer van-based moves, our approach goes beyond a casual man-and-van. Our team is trained in safe lifting and packing, our vehicles are equipped specifically for removals, and we carry both goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. We also provide detailed quotes, clear terms and a structured process from enquiry to completion. This means better protection for your belongings, more reliable timings and a more professional experience overall, particularly important if you are moving during busy term dates.

How far in advance should I book my student removal?

For peak times such as the start or end of term, it is wise to book at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. For moves during quieter periods, a few days’ notice is often enough. However, the earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we can offer. If your tenancy dates are not fully confirmed, we can still provide an estimate and pencil in provisional slots, then finalise details once your plans are fixed.
