Student Removals in Cambridge

Dimond Movers LTD is a trusted, low-cost student removals service for Cambridge (Cambridgeshire) students at University of Cambridge, Anglia Ruskin University (ARU). Cambridge mirrors Oxford in many ways — a collegiate university with 30+ colleges, 8-week terms, strict end-of-term move-outs, and a parallel modern university (ARU) running standard semesters. We move Cambridge students every term out of college rooms, into Mill Road / Romsey shared houses, and into summer storage between academic years. End-of-term single-room moves, shared-house clear-outs, summer storage and international shipping all at student-friendly fixed prices.

Cambridge universities we move for

Regular work for: University of Cambridge, Anglia Ruskin University (ARU).

Term and move-out timing: Cambridge runs three 8-week terms (Michaelmas, Lent, Easter) with strict end-of-term move-outs; ARU follows a standard semester pattern.

Indicative pricing: £120-£200 single college room; £280-£480 shared-house clear-out; summer storage from £25/month.

Halls and accommodation we know well in Cambridge

Cambridge colleges (Trinity, King's, St John's, Christ's, Pembroke, Queens', Jesus, Magdalene, Selwyn, Robinson, Churchill, Newnham, Murray Edwards and 25+ others) ARU East Road campus halls

Cambridge city centre is heavily restricted; college access is via porter-arranged delivery slots at the lodge. Mill Road and Romsey are residents-permit zones.

Cambridge colleges — Trinity, King's, St John's, Christ's and the rest

Cambridge college moves are typically single rooms with strict end-of-term deadlines (the Friday after end of Easter term, usually mid-to-late June). The college porter arranges a vehicle access slot at the lodge — typically 30-60 minutes — and we work to that window.

Trinity, King's, St John's, Christ's, Pembroke, Queens', Jesus, Magdalene, Selwyn, Robinson, Churchill, Newnham, Murray Edwards and most of the central and west Cambridge colleges all run this way.

Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) — East Road campus

ARU's East Road campus sits in central Cambridge with on-site halls (more modern, with goods lifts and proper loading bays). ARU runs standard semesters with end-of-year clear-outs in May/June.

We handle ARU and Cambridge collegiate students on the same Cambridge loop in late June.

Mill Road, Romsey, Petersfield — Cambridge shared houses

Mill Road (CB1) and Romsey Town are the classic Cambridge student shared-house areas — Victorian terraces, residents-permit parking, narrow doorways. Petersfield, Chesterton, Newnham and Trumpington are also common.

We apply for the Cambridge City Council visitor permit in advance and size the van to the shared house.

Summer storage and international student shipping

Cambridge colleges require a full clear-out between Easter and Michaelmas terms (typically 12-14 weeks of vacation residence is rare). Our Crowmarsh Gifford depot is around 80 miles from Cambridge and we collect at end of Easter term, store fully insured, redeliver before Michaelmas.

Cambridge has one of the highest international student populations in the UK and we ship onward to USA, Asia and Europe at the end of every academic year.

Booking and what to do before move day

Book 2-3 weeks in advance for the peak last week of June; mid-week and earlier-in-June dates are usually fine at shorter notice. Send us a couple of photos of the room or shared house and a list of any large items (mini fridge, monitor, bike) so we size the van correctly.

Use ordinary boxes or reuse the boxes you arrived with cardboard from local supermarkets is free and works fine for books, clothes and bedding. We bring blankets for furniture and the larger items.
