Heavy equipment moving in Durham
Durham is a small historic cathedral city on a loop of the River Wear, dominated by its World Heritage cathedral and castle and by a large collegiate university and student population.

From first enquiry to finished job, we make heavy equipment moving in Durham straightforward: one point of contact, one fixed price and a team that turns up when agreed.

Durham heavy equipment moving: common questions
How much does heavy equipment moving cost in Durham?
Prices vary with the job. Prices in Durham depend on the size of the job and access and timing, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Our cost guide gives typical UK prices.

Most Durham enquiries get a reply the same day, and the majority of bookings can be booked in within a week or two. If it is urgent, say so and we will try to fit you in sooner.
What do you need from me to quote in Durham?
Just use the quote form with your Durham postcode, a few details of the job and any timing needs. Photos help but are optional.
Do you work in Newton Hall and other parts of Durham?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of Durham, including Newton Hall, Belmont, Neville's Cross, Elvet, Pity Me and Brandon, as well as Sunderland, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Hartlepool.
Who disconnects the machine from the power supply?
Electrical isolation and reconnection should be carried out by a qualified electrician, and air, hydraulic, water and coolant connections by your own engineers or the machine supplier. We coordinate with them so the machine is safely isolated before we arrive and ready to reconnect as soon as it is in position.
