Our process includes risk assessments, certified lifting equipment, and tailored insurance coverage. From single machines to complete factory transfers, we ensure precision handling and minimal operational disruption for clients across manufacturing sectors.
Factory Removals
Our team develops customised factory removal plans with detailed method statements and sequencing strategies. We handle machine disconnection, stock management, and material handling while maintaining strict safety protocols. With expertise in non-standard lifting points and complex logistics, we minimise downtime during facility decommissioning or reorganisation projects.

Our capabilities extend to moving oversized items like railway engines and industrial girders.

Recent projects include hot tub installations and Skypod relocations with property protection guarantees.

Used DP Services numerous times over many years for Tufcot and they have always been a professional and organised outfit. Their staff have always been friendly, approachable and knowledgeable about the most efficient and safest methods for machinery removals and machine moving. Would highly recommend.

We had a nightmare trying to find a crane company to assist us with lifting a hot tub over our garden wall. Our next step was to remove our garden wall which would have been extremely costly not to mention… stressful! Thank goodness we got in contact with DP services. They came round to do a site survey and took our concerns away. They were extremely professional. Turned up on time and made the whole process easy. Our drive way certainly isn’t an easy one for a lorry to drive down, not to mention the reach from where the lorry was to where the hot tub needed to go. These guys were
