Hall-to-House Moves Across Durham

Whether it's halls to a house-share, house-share to halls, or a run home for the summer, Durham student moves benefit from a mover who understands term dates and tenancy overlaps.

A1(M) J62, Durham railway station (ECML), restricted access zone in the centre. Useful when a student move involves a run back to the family home elsewhere in the North East or beyond.

Locally that means student housing in gilesgate, viaduct and claypath has tight on-street parking; mid-week mornings work best, and the city centre and peninsula are inside a restricted vehicle zone — we coordinate timed access with durham county council where needed. A typical job here looks like townhouses around the sands and crossgate peth.

Gilesgate is a good example — Gilesgate is a dense mix of student HMOs and family terraces just east of the centre — most of our June and July work in Durham starts here. Housing is mostly victorian terraces, many converted to hmos, and access-wise: tight on-street; we use a 3.5t van and a 2-man team where luton access would block the street. We anchor jobs around Sunderland Road and Whinney Hill. We run student-removal packages built around Durham University term dates, with collection from college, halls or private HMOs.
