About our Exeter service

Exeter is Devon's historic cathedral city and county town, with a large university, the Met Office and a growing population spreading into new suburbs east of the city. We offer heavy equipment moving right across Exeter, from Newtown and Wonford to Countess Wear.

We handle heavy equipment moving for manufacturers, engineering firms, workshops, warehouses, print shops and facilities managers in Exeter every week. Jobs are done properly, priced clearly and completed when agreed.

Many Exeter firms move machinery during a planned shutdown, so we schedule surveys early to fit the move into the time available.

For machinery moves in Exeter, we check yard space, overhead cables and turning room for the lorry as part of every survey.

Questions about heavy equipment moving in Exeter

What postcodes do you cover in Exeter?

Every postcode in Exeter is covered, including EX1, EX2 and EX4. If you are just outside Exeter, send your postcode anyway and we will confirm.

How much should I expect to pay for heavy equipment moving in Exeter?

It depends on the job. Your price depend on the scope of the work and access, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Typical prices are in the facts box at the top of this page and in our cost guide.

How soon can you book a job in Exeter?

We aim to reply to Exeter enquiries the same day, and the majority of bookings can be scheduled within one to two weeks. Urgent work can often be fitted in sooner.

How do I get a quote in Exeter?

Just use the quote form with your postcode, a few details of the job and any timing needs. If you have photos, they help us price accurately.

Will the floor take the weight?

It needs checking. Concrete ground-floor slabs in industrial units usually cope, but suspended floors, mezzanines, ramps, drain covers and older buildings can be a problem. We look at the route on the survey, spread loads with steel plates or timber where needed, and recommend a structural engineer's check if there is any doubt.
