Loading in Durham
Durham is one of our busiest cities — a mix of student housing, historic centre properties and family suburbs that each need a slightly different approach. We move here every week and have a working list of the streets that need restricted-vehicle planning. On the London end, most jobs finish in central zones inside the North Circular, where many central boroughs need a suspended-bay permit — we book these in advance where possible.

FAQs — Durham to London
Why our man and van suits this route
On a Durham to London man and van run we usually send a two-crew Luton — enough hands for stairs at both ends over the 234-mile corridor, without paying for a full removals team. The van clears A1(M) to the M25 via the A1 in one hit so nothing sits in overnight storage.
