Student moves that begin or end at a Rothwell family home
Leaving for the first year is the easy load: clothes, bedding, a few kitchen things, maybe a monitor and a bike. The work is timing. Halls give an arrival slot and often a short stop at the door, so the van turns up to meet it and unloads quickly while you collect keys. Students studying in Leeds sometimes skip halls and commute from home on the train from Woodlesford, then move out in the second year when a group of friends signs for a house.
That second-year move is a different job. Several people, one house, often a desk or bed bought second-hand, and a landlord with a fixed key-release day. The van can pick up from more than one Rothwell or Leeds address and drop everything at the new house, with one price for the group. At the end of the year the same run goes in reverse, back to a bedroom in LS26.
What a Rothwell student should send before booking
- Both addresses, plus the halls arrival slot or the day the house keys are released
- A rough list or a photo of the pile, which is usually enough to price it
- The hall or house address, your arrival slot and a photo of the room, sent with the request for a price
- For a student who has been commuting from Woodlesford station, the date the new Leeds tenancy starts, so the move lands on key day
- Any rules the halls or landlord set on where a van can stop, and for how long

Student Removals in Rothwell: your questions
Is there a college or university in Rothwell?
No. Further education and degree courses mean travelling to Leeds, such as Leeds City College, or further afield. A Rothwell student move is always a run to or from somewhere else.
Four of us are moving into a house in Leeds. Can one van do it?
Usually, if it is bags, boxes and a few small pieces of furniture. Give each pickup address and the van collects in a sensible order, then unloads at the new house for one price.
Can my things go to a storage unit over the summer?
Yes, to or from a self-storage unit you rent yourself. There is no storage on offer from the business, only the van run.
When should a summer move back to Rothwell be booked?
As soon as the tenancy end date is known, since a long run takes a whole day in the diary and a weekend can fill. Give the Leeds address, the Rothwell address and the key handback time.
