Student Removals in Bolton

Thynne Street halls, Deane Road houses: a Bolton student year in two moves

Orlando Village has 383 rooms in flats of up to six, with shared kitchens, so a first-year room is mostly boxes, bedding and a few kitchen things. The office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, so ask it how arrivals are handled in September and what time keys are given out. Thynne Street is a through road south of the centre, and the van stops where the site allows while the room goes in by trolley.

Second year moves out of halls into a shared house, and around the campus that means terraces in Deane, Daubhill and Gilnow, with cobbled side streets such as Penarth Road and Gordon Avenue and parked cars on both sides. Send the street and the time the landlord hands over keys. Students coming from further away are a long run: the van can collect from home anywhere in the country and bring the room to Bolton, or take it home in June.

Keys, boxes and the June run home from Bolton

• Ask Orlando Village for its arrival arrangements before booking, as the office keeps weekday hours
• For a shared house, send the date and the hour the landlord releases keys
• Pack into medium boxes and holdalls, which carry far better on a narrow terraced stair than one huge case
• Moving from halls to a house near Deane Road, check whether the old room has to be empty by a set time
• Book the June run home as soon as the tenancy end date is fixed

One room, two addresses: the price of a Bolton student move

How far the room travels, how much there is and the stairs or lifts at each end set the price. Send a list or a few photos with both postcodes, and the figure is fixed before the day. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
