About student storage in Crookes, Sheffield
Crookes sits on the hill above the University of Sheffield campus, west of Broomhill, and is one of the densest student rental areas in the city. Most student housing is in tightly-packed Victorian terraces on streets like Crookes Road, School Road, Conduit Road, Mulehouse Road, and Lydgate Lane. The area is dominated by 4 to 5 person undergraduate HMOs, with a smaller share of senior students and young professionals. The Crookes Valley Park sits at the bottom of the hill on the campus side. The 52 bus runs frequently down into the city centre and back up the hill.
Crookes streets have residents permit parking schemes during weekday daytime hours, and the terraced grid is tight with limited kerbside space. The steep hill is the most distinctive logistics feature: loading items down to a van parked at street level often involves several short staircases between the front door and kerb. UniMove typically schedules collections before 10am or after 4pm and uses trolley equipment for the steeper streets. Tenancies tend to end in early to mid July. Typical Crookes HMO residents store six to nine boxes including shared kitchen items.

Why students choose collection and storage instead of self-storage
Traditional self-storage often means hiring a van, carrying everything yourself, and paying for more space than you need. UniMove student-focused collection and storage service is simpler, especially if you are leaving halls, sharing transport with housemates, or heading home for summer.
Frequently asked questions about student storage in Crookes
How much does student storage in Crookes, Sheffield cost?
Pricing depends on how many boxes you store, your Crookes collection address, and how long you need storage for. Most students in Crookes store between four and ten standard boxes over the summer. Get a Crookes quote for an exact figure.
How does Crookes hill affect loading times?
Crookes is the steepest of the main Sheffield student areas. The front-door-to-kerb path often includes a short flight of stone steps and the streets themselves are on a gradient. We use trolley equipment for the steeper streets and may allocate an extra crew member where the loading path involves multiple staircases. The hill doesn’t change the price, only the box volume does.
Do you collect from student accommodation in Crookes, Sheffield?
Yes, we collect from university halls, private student halls, shared houses and private addresses in Crookes, Sheffield, with collection slots arranged around end-of-term move-out dates.
When can my items be returned to Crookes?
