HOUSEHOLD MOVES

Student movehow to prepare a smaller move

Moving calculator

A student move usually involves less furniture than a family home, but the work does not disappear: a shared hallway, a building without a lift and a date at the turn of the semester still matter. This guide covers what to prepare and what Star-S needs for a quote. We do not offer a separate student discount.

Moving boxes ready for a household move

A small volume still needs carrying

A bed, a desk, a bicycle and a few boxes may fit in one load, but a third floor without a lift or a long walk across a courtyard makes every trip its own stage. Tell us the floor and the route, not only the room count.

Shared housing needs an agreed route

In a shared flat the hallway belongs to everyone. Agree a time when it is clear, and check the building's moving hours. If you share a storage cage, mark what is yours to take.

  • door and gate codes
  • whether the lift can be reserved
  • how close the van can stop
  • whether a bike cellar or storage must be emptied the same day

What the quote request should include

  • the old and new address, or postcodes
  • room or flat size
  • floor and lift at both ends
  • large items: bed, desk, sofa
  • preferred date and whether it can move
  • whether you pack yourself or need help

Send the details with the moving calculator or order the move. The price follows that work. It is not an assumed student rate.

Frequently asked questions

No.

The price follows volume, floors and carry distance. A smaller load can shorten the job, but that is not a published euro discount.

Yes, if the date is free.

Month-ends fill first, so send the date as soon as you know it.

Not if access and which items move are agreed in advance.

One reachable contact is enough.
