Whether you’re a fresher moving into college halls or a finalist leaving Durham for good, student moves can be overwhelming – especially during exam season or summer break. At Nabosh Removals, we’ve helped hundreds of students make the move across Durham smoothly, affordably, and stress-free. Based locally in the North East, we know the ins and outs of student accommodation around Durham University – from college sites like St Mary’s, Van Mildert, and Collingwood, to private flats in Gilesgate, Neville’s Cross, and Claypath. This guide breaks down everything you need to know to make your Durham move as simple as possible.

📅 When Should You Book a Student Move in Durham?

The best time to book your removal company is at least 2–4 weeks in advance. Summer is especially busy in Durham, as thousands of students move out at the same time. Nabosh Removals gets booked quickly around:

• End of Summer Term (late June/early July)
• Start of Michaelmas Term (late September)
• End of tenancy for private lets (varies – often end of August)

Need last-minute help? Reach out — we’ll always try to squeeze you in.

📦 What to Pack (and What to Leave Behind)

• Essentials: Bedding, laptop, ID, chargers, toiletries, towels, kitchen basics
• Durham must-haves: A warm coat, an umbrella (trust us), and good walking shoes!
• Label boxes clearly: Especially if you’re sharing a move with a friend
• Don’t overpack: You can always buy bits once you’ve settled in

🗄️ Need Summer Storage?

Heading home for the summer and don’t want to drag everything with you? Nabosh Removals offers affordable student storage for short or long stays. We’ll pick up your stuff directly from halls or private flats, store it safely, and deliver it back when you return.

🏡 Moving Out of College Accommodation – What to Know

• Book your collection time early: Some colleges restrict vehicle access during busy periods
• Check college rules: Some require you to clear everything out – no bin bags left behind!
• Do a final sweep: Chargers, ID cards, and library books love hiding under beds
