From our Jarrow depot we cover Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead, Durham and both sides of the Tyne — as well as long-distance and European relocations. Every job is handled by our own uniformed crews rather than subcontractors, fully insured and carried out to Move Assured standards. Whether you need a single room packed, a four-bedroom house moved, secure storage between completion dates, or a full property clearance, you deal with the same team from your first call to the last box unloaded.

How our removals process works
How much do removals cost?
House removals across the UK generally run from around £300 for a small flat to £2,500+ for a large house moving a long distance. Northern England sits roughly 20–35% below London prices, so the figures below are a realistic starting point for a local move in the North East:
Guide prices for a local move in the North East. Northern England sits roughly 20–35% below London rates.
| Property | Man & van | Professional removals firm |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bed flat | £250 – £450 | £460 – £630 |
| 2-bed house | £450 – £750 | £650 – £900 |
| 3-bed house | Not suitable | £800 – £1,200 |
| 4-bed+ house | Not suitable | £1,400 – £2,500+ |
A man-and-van is cheaper because you're buying labour and a vehicle, not a service — no survey, no protective materials as standard, and usually no goods-in-transit cover. Sensible for a studio flat. Rarely sensible for a family home with a completion deadline.
