From College To The Viaduct: Storage For Durham Students

One of the defining parts of studying at Durham is the collegiate system.

Many students spend their first year living in college accommodation before moving into shared houses across the city. For thousands of students every year, that means moving from colleges such as Collingwood, Hatfield, St Mary's, Grey, Trevelyan, Van Mildert, St Chad's, St John's or South College into private accommodation in areas like Viaduct, Gilesgate, Neville's Cross and Claypath.

The problem is that those moves don't always happen seamlessly.

That's where student storage can make life significantly easier.

Rather than transporting everything backwards and forwards across the city, you can store your belongings securely until you're ready to move into your next property.

Moving between Durham's student neighbourhoods

Durham may be a compact city, but student life is spread across several areas.

The Viaduct is one of the most popular locations for second and third-year students, while Gilesgate, Neville's Cross, Claypath, Elvet and Framwellgate Moor are all home to large student communities.

Many students move between these neighbourhoods throughout their degree.

Our collection service means you don't need to worry about carrying belongings between properties or finding temporary storage during the transition.

We'll collect directly from your accommodation and return everything when you're ready.

Storage for college move-out days

Anyone who has experienced a Durham college move-out day knows how hectic it can be.

With students leaving accommodation at the same time and transport often limited, moving your stuff can quickly become stressful.

The Box Co. provides a simple alternative.

We'll collect your items directly from your college accommodation, allowing you to focus on the move itself rather than the logistics.

Student Life At Durham Comes With More Stuff Than You'd Think

Durham's college culture is one of the things that makes the university so unique.

Between formal dinners, college balls, society events and sports clubs, students often accumulate far more than they initially arrive with.

It's not unusual for students to need storage for black-tie outfits, formal wear, college gowns, sports kit, musical instruments, society materials and everything else that comes with being part of Durham's vibrant student community.

When accommodation contracts end or students leave the city for extended periods, finding somewhere safe to keep these items becomes essential.

Storage for Durham's sports clubs and societies

Durham has one of the strongest sporting reputations of any university in the UK.

From rowing and rugby to hockey, netball and athletics, students are heavily involved in sports clubs throughout their degree.

That often means accumulating equipment that isn't easy to transport home every holiday.

Whether it's rowing kit, sports equipment, training gear or society materials, student storage provides a convenient way to keep everything safe between terms.

Storage for international students

Durham attracts students from across the world.

For international students, transporting belongings overseas during university holidays can be expensive.

Instead of shipping everything home, many students choose to store their belongings safely in the UK until they return.

It's often the simplest and most cost-effective solution.

Why Student Storage Is Different in Durham

Unlike students in many cities, Durham students often develop strong ties to their college, sports clubs and societies.

By the end of a degree, it's common to have accumulated years' worth of belongings, from books and kitchen equipment to formal wear and society memorabilia.

Finding somewhere safe to keep those items during accommodation moves, placements or university holidays can be challenging.

That's why so many students choose The Box Co.

Collection and delivery included

Whether you're living in college accommodation, a student house in Viaduct or a flat in Gilesgate, we'll collect directly from your address.

When you're ready to get your belongings back, we'll return them to an address of your choice.

There's no need to hire a van, borrow a car or carry boxes through Durham's narrow streets and steep hills.

Only pay for what you store

Traditional self-storage facilities charge for an entire storage unit, regardless of how much space you actually need.

With The Box Co., you only pay for the boxes you store.

That means no wasted space and no unnecessary costs.

For students, it's often a far more affordable alternative to traditional self-storage. And with prices starting from 79p per week, it's a no-brainer!

Areas of Durham we cover

We provide student storage throughout Durham, including: Viaduct, Gilesgate, Neville's Cross, Claypath, Elvet, Framwellgate Moor, The Bailey, Durham City Centre, South Road and College accommodation across Durham University.

Whether you're moving out of college accommodation, relocating to a student house, heading home for the holidays or preparing for graduation, The Box Co. makes student storage in Durham simple.

Our Student Storage Locations

How much does student storage in Durham cost with The Box Co.?

With The Box Co. you pay per box, not for a whole unit. Our small boxes start from £3.56 per month, which works out around 79p per week.

We do also offer discounts for longer-term storage and those storing multiple boxes.

Can you collect from student halls in Durham?

Yes. We can collect directly from student halls, private student accommodation and shared houses across Durham.

Wherever you live, our team can come straight to your door. There's no need to hire a van, borrow a car or transport your belongings yourself.

Simply pack your items, choose a collection date and we'll take care of the rest.

Do you offer summer student storage in Durham?

Absolutely. Summer storage is one of the most popular reasons students use The Box Co.

Many students need somewhere safe to keep their stuff while heading home for the summer or during internships and placement years. Instead of transporting everything back home, you can store your items with us for as long as you need.

We'll collect your belongings from your accommodation in Durham, store them securely and return them when you're ready to move into your next place.

How does your student storage service work?

We've made student storage simple, affordable and easy to use whether you're in Durham or anywhere else in the UK.

You can store by-the-box or using one of our storage container units.

By-the-box is our most affordable option and you can store from as little as one small box.

If you have furniture or bulky items that dont fit in boxes, select either a 1/2 or full container.

Then select the date and time you want us to collect everything from your doorstep and that's it.

Sit back and relax while we do the hard work.

We will collect from almost every University in mainland UK, so that includes England, Wales and Scotland.

If your return is more than 20 miles from your collection address, there will be a surcharge of 58p* per mile of the total distance. 

We also offer international shipping if your return is even further away. Contact us for a quote.

Is student storage cheaper than renting a storage unit?

In many cases, yes.

Traditional self-storage facilities usually charge for an entire storage unit, even if you only need space for a few boxes. You may also need to factor in the cost of van hire, fuel and travelling to and from the facility.

With The Box Co., you only pay for the boxes you store, with prices starting from just £3.56 per month.

Collection and delivery are included too, making it a more affordable and convenient option for many Durham students.

Are my items insured?

If you are unsure and need some assistance, we can arrange a video survey to run through everything with you.

Are there any hidden costs for your student moving services?

Some companies will try to lure you in with cheap deals and then surprise you with hidden costs.

Thats not us.

We provide fully transparent services and pricing, so you understand everything fully before committing.
