Halls in September, shared houses in summer: Sheffield student moves
Endcliffe and Ranmoor hold over 4,000 rooms between Fulwood Road, Endcliffe Vale Road and Westbourne Road, and on arrivals weekend nearly 4,000 first-years turn up with hundreds of parents' cars. The university gives each student an arrival slot, so the run from home is timed back from it. A room fits easily in the 3.4m load space, and the blocks, named after Peak District crags such as Howden and Derwent, are four or five storeys, so give the block and flat number.
The second-year move is the harder one. Shared houses in Crookes, Walkley and Crookesmoor are stone terraces on steep streets with permit bays, and many of those tenancies change hands over the summer. Book once the key date is fixed, send the house number and say whether there are steps up to the door. At a city-centre hall such as Allen Court, by St George's Close, the van stops as near the entrance as the street allows and the room comes down by lift.
Arrival slots, key dates and steep streets for Sheffield students
- Send the arrival slot from the university and the block name at Endcliffe, Ranmoor or a city-centre hall
- For a shared house in Crookes or Walkley, give the date and hour the landlord releases the keys
- Hold-alls and medium boxes travel better than one huge case on a narrow terrace stair
- The Gate on Eyre Street has flats from the fourth floor up, so say the floor and expect a lift ride and a short trolley carry
- Moving out in June? Check the hall's check-out time before booking the van

Distance, room size and stairs in a Sheffield student move
The distance from home to the hall or house, how much is in the room and the stairs or steps at each end set the price, fixed before the day once you send a list and both postcodes. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Student Removals in Sheffield: your questions
Can you move me into Endcliffe on arrivals weekend?
Yes, if your arrival slot is booked with the university. Send the slot and the block name, and the pick-up from home is timed so the van reaches the village in it.
How do I move from halls to a shared house in Crookes?
Book once the tenancy start date and key time are fixed. The room is loaded at the hall and carried into the house, with beds and desks taken apart if needed.
Where can my things go over summer if I have no room?
To a self-storage unit you have booked yourself. The business has no storage, but the van can drop the room there and collect it again later.
How far ahead should I book a student move in Sheffield?
As soon as your arrival slot or key date is set, because June and September dates are the first to be asked for.
