One-Bed & Two-Bed Flat Moves in Durham

A Durham flat move usually lives or dies on access — communal doors, tight stairwells and residents' parking. We plan for all three so the day itself is genuinely quick.

A1(M) J62, Durham railway station (ECML), restricted access zone in the centre. That means we can drop-off in Durham without dragging your load an extra 200m from where the van finally squeezed in.

Locally that means durham university term-end weeks (june, december) book up fast — we recommend booking 4+ weeks ahead for those windows, and cobbled streets around the bailey and south bailey need careful trolley work — we bring rubber wheels for these jobs. A typical job here looks like family homes in belmont, sherburn and framwellgate moor.

Gilesgate is a good example — Gilesgate is a dense mix of student HMOs and family terraces just east of the centre — most of our June and July work in Durham starts here. Housing is mostly victorian terraces, many converted to hmos, and access-wise: tight on-street; we use a 3.5t van and a 2-man team where luton access would block the street. We anchor jobs around Sunderland Road and Whinney Hill. Man and van is the right call for most Durham student rooms and one-bed flats around the centre.
