Insurance · Packing · Crews

Service questions, answered

Everything you need to know about how your belongings are protected, how packing works, and when a two-man crew is the right call for your student move.

What does your insurance actually cover?+

Every student move includes Goods in Transit cover up to £20,000 and Public Liability insurance of £2,000,000. This protects your belongings while loaded, in transit and being carried into your new place. For high-value items (laptops, instruments, jewellery over £500), tell us in advance so we can note them on the job.

Are my belongings covered if something gets damaged?+

Yes. In the rare event of damage, our claims process is straightforward — report it within 7 days with photos and we'll assess and settle under our Goods in Transit policy. We strongly recommend you don't pack cash, documents or irreplaceable items in the van; carry those with you.

Do you offer a packing service for students?+

Yes. Our student packing service is available as a full pack (everything boxed and labelled the day before) or a part pack (just fragile items — kitchenware, mirrors, electronics). Add it during your quote. We bring all boxes, bubble wrap and tape; you just leave it to us.

Can I pack myself and still get free boxes?+

Of course. Most students self-pack. We supply double-walled moving boxes and wardrobe cartons free with any full house move — just request them when booking. We'll drop them off a few days before so you can pack at your own pace.

How should I pack fragile and valuable items?+

Wrap glassware and ceramics individually in bubble wrap or clothing, pad box bottoms, fill empty space so nothing shifts, and mark the box 'FRAGILE — THIS WAY UP'. Keep laptops, tablets and consoles in their original padded cases if you have them, and carry hard drives and documents personally.

What is a two-man crew and when do I need one?+

A two-man crew is a driver plus a trained mover who work together to load, carry and unload. We recommend it for any move involving stairs, a first-floor flat, more than 10m³ of belongings, or bulky items like sofas, beds and desks. It's faster, safer and usually cheaper than a solo driver doing multiple trips.

How much faster is a two-man crew?+

Typically 40–60% faster than a single driver. Two movers can carry items in tandem, split stair carries and load the van simultaneously — a 2-hour solo job often becomes a 1-hour two-man job. For student tenancy-change days when parking and lift access are tight, this makes a real difference.

Is the two-man crew included in the price?+

Crew size is built into your live quote — you'll see 'Van + Helper' as a service tier. For smaller loads (box & bike, a few items up one flight) a solo driver is usually enough and cheaper. For whole-flat moves, the two-man option is selected automatically and shown clearly in your breakdown.
