Portsmouth heavy equipment moving: common questions

Do you cover Copnor and other parts of Portsmouth?

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

Prices vary with the job. Prices in Portsmouth depend on the scope of the work and access and timing, 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 fast can you get to Portsmouth?

We aim to reply to Portsmouth enquiries the same day, and the majority of bookings can be booked in within a week or two. Urgent work can often be fitted in sooner.

How long does a workshop relocation take?

A single machine within the same building can often be moved in a few hours. A small workshop with several machines usually takes one to three days, and a larger factory move is planned over several weeks and carried out in phases to limit downtime. We agree the sequence with you before work starts.

Before you book: a quick Portsmouth checklist

  • Take photos of the machine and the full route out of the building, including doors and steps
  • Measure the narrowest door, corridor and gate on the route at both sites
  • Check floor condition and any suspended floors, ramps or drain covers on the route
  • Book an electrician and engineers to isolate, drain and later reconnect the machine
  • Back up any CNC programs, parameters and settings before power is removed
