About student storage at Oak House, Manchester
Oak House is one of the University of Manchester’s largest self-catered halls, set in the heart of the Fallowfield student village in south Manchester. It is arranged as a spread of low-rise brick blocks and courts off Oak Drive, just off Wilmslow Road, and is home mostly to first-year undergraduates. The main campus is around three miles north along the Oxford Road corridor, so most Oak House residents travel in by bus or bike. End-of-year vacate dates fall in mid-June.
Because Oak House is self-catered and flats share a kitchen, kitchen kit is a normal part of the summer storage run here — many flats book one combined collection so the shared pots, pans and dry goods come out alongside individual boxes. The hall’s many separate blocks each have their own entrance, so our team loads kerbside at the block nearest your flat. Fallowfield empties fast in June as thousands of students move out within the same couple of weeks, so booking your collection day early secures the slot you want. Typical Oak House residents store five to seven boxes including their share of flat kitchen items.

Why students choose collection and storage instead of self-storage
Traditional self-storage usually means hiring a van, carrying everything yourself, and paying for more space than you need. UniMove’s student-focused collection and storage service is simpler — especially if you are leaving halls, sharing transport with flatmates, or heading home for the summer from Fallowfield.
Frequently asked questions about student storage at Oak House
How much does student storage at Oak House cost?

Most residents store between five and seven boxes including their share of kitchen items. Get an Oak House quote for an exact figure.
How does kitchen storage work for an Oak House flat share?
Flatmates often book a combined collection so the shared kitchen items (pots, pans, utensils, leftover dry goods) come out in one slot. We bring labelled crates per person so each housemate’s belongings stay tracked — the shared kitchen kit is usually assigned to one flatmate who is returning next year, or split into individual returns.
Which Oak House block do you collect from?
We collect from all of the Oak House blocks. Each block has its own entrance and our team loads at the door nearest your flat — just tell us your block and flat at the quote stage so we bring the collection to the right point.
When can my items be returned to Manchester?
Return delivery is arranged for whenever you need your belongings back — typically the start of the next academic year, the day a new tenancy starts, or whenever you return to Manchester.
