Student Movers for University of East London

Student moves are usually smaller and faster than full family removals.

That keeps costs down. Here is what to expect from Giant Van when moving to or from a UEL address.

Man and van: from £45 per hour.

This covers a driver plus a large van. Perfect for a single room, one or two boxes of belongings, or a quick end-of-term clearance from halls.

One-bedroom flat: between £250 and £400 for most moves within East or South East London.

If you're shifting from E15 or E16 to a new flat in the same area, expect to land at the lower end of that range.

Two-bedroom flat: between £400 and £650.

Shared houses with two bedrooms and combined furniture from multiple tenants are common for UEL students in years two and three.

Three-bedroom property: between £650 and £900.

Larger shared houses off Maryland or Forest Gate often fall here, especially if the tenants have accumulated furniture over multiple years.

All prices include fuel and insurance.

We don't add a surcharge for East London postcodes. There are no call-out fees and no charges for stairs on standard student moves.

If you need storage between tenancies, we can advise on short-term storage costs in London, which typically range from £30 to £80 per month for a small student unit depending on location.

Many students store items over summer rather than carrying them home. We can deliver directly to a storage facility on the same booking.

Not every student goes home between terms.

Some return to countries where taking furniture isn't practical. Others simply don't have space back home. Short-term storage in London solves the problem.

Storage costs in London for a student-sized unit typically run between £30 and £80 per month.

The price depends on size, location, and how long you need it. Facilities in East London such as those near Stratford, Canning Town, and Beckton generally come in at the lower end compared to central London options.

A standard student room empties into a 25 to 35 cubic foot storage unit.

That covers a single bed frame, mattress, desk, wardrobe, and boxes of personal items. Larger units go up to 50 cubic feet and fit the contents of a small shared house.

Giant Van can take your belongings directly from your UEL accommodation to a storage facility.

We recommend booking this as a single job to keep costs down. You tell us the facility, we deliver to the door.

When you return at the start of term, we can collect from storage and bring everything to your new address.

Many students do this annually during the summer break, using one booking each way.

If you're unsure which size unit you need, contact the storage facility directly before booking the move.

We can advise on load sizes based on your item list. Call us on or get a quote through the app.
