Student Removals

Student Removals in Roehampton by Roehampton Movers

Roehampton Movers provides reliable, straightforward student removals in Roehampton and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving into halls, changing student houses, or heading home for the summer, our professional and fully insured teams make the process simple and stress-free.

Specialist Student Removals in Roehampton

Student moves are different from standard home removals. You often have a mix of personal belongings, textbooks, IT equipment and a few bits of furniture, all within tight timeframes linked to tenancy dates or university term times. We’ve been helping students around Roehampton, Putney, Kingston, Wandsworth and wider South West London for years, so we understand the pressures and schedules involved.

We offer flexible options from small single-room moves through to full flat clearances, with vehicles sized appropriately so you only pay for what you actually need.

Who Our Student Removals Service Is For

Although this page focuses on student removals, our service is designed to support a wide range of clients in Roehampton:

• Homeowners – Downsizing or moving locally and need help transporting items for a son or daughter at university.
• Renters – Moving between rented flats, HMOs or studio apartments, including partial moves and storage runs.
• Landlords – Clearing or delivering furniture for student lets and HMOs between tenancies.
• Businesses – Universities, colleges and accommodation providers needing bulk moves or room-to-room relocations.
• Students – UK and international students moving into or out of halls, shared houses or private rentals.

What’s Included in Our Student Removal Service

Our standard student removals in Roehampton typically cover:

• Clothing, shoes and personal belongings
• Textbooks, folders and study materials
• Laptops, PCs, monitors and small electronics (carefully protected)
• Kitchenware, crockery, pans and small appliances
• Desks, chairs, small shelving units and bedside tables
• Mattresses, bed frames (dismantled if needed) and soft furnishings

Items We Do Not Move as Standard

For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded or require prior agreement:

• Hazardous materials (paint, fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals)
• Illegal items or substances
• Unlabelled food, open liquids and perishable goods for long journeys
• Pets and live animals
• Industrial machinery or excessively heavy items not disclosed in advance

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, ask us when you enquire so we can advise and, if possible, accommodate it safely.

Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact Roehampton Movers by phone, email or online form with your move details: addresses, dates, access information and a rough list of items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote with all expected costs explained up front. For most student removals, we can give a price based on a detailed item list and photos.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves or shared houses, we may suggest a quick virtual survey (video call) or a short onsite visit in Roehampton or nearby. This lets us check access, parking, staircases and lift availability, ensuring we send the right size vehicle and the correct number of trained movers on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Packing service – We supply boxes and materials and our team pack your belongings securely.
• Part-packing – We handle fragile or valuable items, you pack the rest.
• Self-packing – You pack everything, and we just handle loading and transport.

We also offer dismantling and reassembly of simple furniture where required.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional, uniformed team arrive on time, protect key items, and load your belongings with care. Everything is secured in the van to avoid movement during transit. We then transport your goods directly between addresses, or via storage if you have a gap between tenancies.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing boxes and furniture where you need them. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled and remove any used packing materials we supplied. Before we leave, we do a quick walk-through with you to confirm everything is in place and you’re satisfied with the move.

Transparent Pricing for Student Removals in Roehampton

We know students work to tight budgets, so our pricing is straightforward and clearly explained before you book. Costs are based on:

• Volume of items and van size needed
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance and any congestion/parking charges
• Optional extras such as packing, materials or storage

We provide fixed-price quotes for most student removals, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs (such as extra flights of stairs not declared in advance) are discussed clearly before the move day.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

It’s tempting to hire a cheap, unverified man-and-van or do everything yourself. In practice, this can lead to damage, delays and unnecessary stress. With Roehampton Movers you benefit from:

• Fully insured service with proper goods in transit and public liability cover.
• Trained, experienced movers used to stairwells, tight hallways and student accommodation layouts.
• Proper equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and protective materials.
• Reliable timing, written confirmation and clear communication.
• Support if something unexpected happens, such as access issues or timetable changes.

In short, we protect your belongings, your time and your peace of mind.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Roehampton Movers operates to recognised industry standards to keep your move safe and compliant:

• Goods in transit insurance protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover for work undertaken in halls, private rentals or shared buildings.
• Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting and handling practices.
• Clean, well-maintained vehicles fitted with securing points and protective equipment.

Full policy details and limits are available on request, and we are happy to explain how cover applies to your particular move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every student move with the same level of care as a full household removal. Furniture is wrapped or blanketed, electronics are cushioned, and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. We encourage reuse of boxes where possible and can supply sturdy reusable crates for larger moves. Where we provide cardboard, it is recyclable, and we can collect and recycle used materials after your move to minimise waste.

Real-World Use Cases for Student Removals

• Moving into first-year halls – One van, one or two movers, and help carrying belongings up to your new room.
• Shared house relocations – Coordinated moves for multiple students from one property to several new addresses.
• Summer storage and returns – Collection from Roehampton, delivery to a local storage facility, and redelivery at the start of term.
• Urgent or last-minute moves – Where contracts change or you need to vacate a property quickly, subject to availability.
• International students – Collection of online orders and belongings from storage, then delivery into halls or private accommodation once you arrive in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do student removals in Roehampton cost?

Prices depend on how much you’re moving, the distance travelled and whether you need extras such as packing or storage. A small student move within Roehampton can often be completed for a modest fixed fee, while larger shared-house moves will cost more due to extra time and manpower. Once we know what you’re taking and where you’re going, we provide a clear, written quote with no hidden charges, so you can budget confidently before booking.

Can you handle same-day or urgent student moves?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Roehampton, especially outside of peak dates. Availability will depend on our existing bookings and the size of your move. If you need urgent help, call us as soon as possible with your details so we can check our schedule and suggest realistic options. Even with tight deadlines, we maintain the same professional standards of care, communication and insurance cover.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your properties. Insurance is there to protect you in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. We still recommend you pack fragile or high-value items carefully and tell us about anything particularly delicate, so our trained team can give them extra attention and load them appropriately.

What’s included in your student removals service?

Our standard service includes the vehicle, a professional moving team, protective equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading into your new property. We can add packing services, supply boxes and materials, dismantle and reassemble simple furniture, and arrange storage if you have a gap between tenancies. Before you book, we’ll confirm exactly what is and isn’t included in writing, so you know precisely what to expect on the day of your move.

How is Roehampton Movers different from a basic man-and-van?

Unlike many casual man-and-van services, we are a professional removals company with fully insured operations, trained staff and proper equipment. Our team are experienced in student accommodation, stairwells and tight access, and we plan each move rather than turning up unprepared. You receive a written quote, clear communication, and support if anything changes. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or last-minute cancellations that can occur with informal operators.

How far in advance should I book my student removal?

For the best choice of dates and times, especially around the start and end of term, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance. Peak days can fill quickly as many students move at the same time. However, we understand that accommodation arrangements sometimes change unexpectedly, so we always try to help with shorter notice bookings where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to secure your preferred moving slot.
