Yes. Our service covers all of South Shields, including Biddick Hall, Horsley Hill, Marsden, Brockley Whins, Laygate and Westoe, plus nearby Sunderland, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Durham.

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.

Before you book: a quick South Shields checklist

  • Ask for a written method statement and, for any lift, a lift plan
  • Confirm the mover's insurance cover limits against the value of the machine
  • Mark the machine's new position and make sure services are ready there
  • Find the make, model, weight and dimensions of each machine, ideally from the manual or nameplate
  • Identify the manufacturer's approved lifting and jacking points
