Locked before you book

Free date change if completion slips
You can change your move date free of charge up to 24 hours before. Completion dates slip constantly, so the booking is built around it. Your fixed price stays the same on the new date.

“Completion days slip in Peterlee like everywhere else. That is why the date change is free up to 24 hours before, and why the crew waits for the keys without a meter running. There is no meter.”
Syed, founder of YourVans
What our removalsservice includes
Our removals team loads, secures and unloads everything in the house. That means the sofa, beds and mattresses, wardrobes, the dining table, the washing machine and fridge freezer, and every box in between. Household goods travel wrapped, and white goods travel disconnected and upright.
Heavier and specialist items go too — pianos, safes, American fridge freezers, gym equipment, and the shed and garage contents that turn a “small” three-bed into a bigger load than it looks. Put them on the inventory rather than mentioning them on the morning: heavy items change the crew size and sometimes the kit we bring.
Furniture protection means protective covers on sofas, mattresses and table tops before anything leaves the house. Dismantling is not included on standard, so furniture travels whole.
The premium package adds the rest. The crew brings the packing materials, handles the packing and unpacking, does the dismantling and reassembly, and sets up the complete house at the other end. Dismantle and rebuild covers beds, wardrobes and anything else held together with bolts.
If you are packing yourself, five things make the day quicker. Label every box with the room it is going to, not the one it came from. Keep documents, medication, keys and valuables with you rather than in the van. Clear the hallway and both doorways. Tell us if anything has changed since you booked — furniture, access, parking or the date. And make sure the new house is open with a route in and somewhere the van can sit.
One line before we go on. We move homes, we do not do house clearances or rubbish removal. For a single item or a part load, our furniture removals in Peterlee page is the one you want.

How much do house removalsin Peterlee cost?
House removals in Peterlee start from
£130
Priced from your actual volume and distance, then locked before you book.
Size of the property
A 1-bed flat in Eden Hill is not a 4-bed house bound for Durham city.
Distance
Priced into the quote up front, so a longer run never turns into an hourly surprise.
Extras
Packing, or dismantling and reassembly, if you take the premium package.
The figure is locked before you book, with no hidden fees and no hourly rate.
A man and van
Three trips on the clock
YourVans
One planned job
Most removal companies in Peterlee quote by the hour or after a phone call. Our engine calculates the price from volume, distance and van size. Every removal company in County Durham prices on those same factors; we just show you the figure up front.
Cheap house removals in Peterlee often means a man and van running three trips on the clock. We stay affordable and competitive by pricing one planned job, done in a single trip where the load allows.
We move first-time buyers out of rented flats, families upsizing, and downsizers heading for a bungalow. Each pays for their own volume, nothing more.
Peterlee is one of the more affordable markets in County Durham, and that shapes who moves here. A lot of our work is first homes and end-of-tenancy move-outs rather than long chains, which means shorter notice and smaller loads than a Durham city or Newcastle move. The two halves of SR8 have not moved in step either — values have gone in opposite directions across the town in the past year — so a neighbour’s quote from last year is a poor guide to yours. Your figure comes from your inventory, not from the postcode.
Comparing quotes locally? Ask every firm the same four things: where you are actually based, whether the crew is employed or the job is sold on to a subcontractor, what your goods in transit and public liability figures are, and whether dismantling is in the price. Ours are Jarrow, employed, £50,000 with public liability behind it, and dismantling on Premium. Ask about the hourly rate too — it is the norm around here, and it is the one that grows while a chain completes.
Meet our crew
Your move is carried out by our own trained crew, in our own vans. YourVans does not subcontract work to a third party, so the team at your door is the team we employ and train.That matters more than it sounds. Marketplace platforms match your job to whichever operator bids for it, and you often do not know who is coming until the van pulls up. Here you are booking a company, not a listing.
Who we movearound Peterlee
Each move pays for its own volume and nothing more, so the quote reflects the house you are actually leaving.
Moving a single item or a part load? Our furniture removals in Peterlee page is the one you want.
First-time buyers
Out of rented flats and into the first house. A 1-bed flat or a 2-bed house usually goes in a single trip.
Families upsizing
A 3-bed semi, the most common house in town, is one load or two depending on the loft, the garage, and the garden furniture and shed contents.
Downsizers
Heading for a bungalow. Each move pays for its own volume, nothing more.
End of tenancy move-outs
The house needs to be empty before check-out, so book the crew for the morning.
What size van turns up,and how many crew?
Most Peterlee removals fit our Luton van, which holds 20 cubic metres of load space. A 1-bed flat or a 2-bed house usually goes in a single trip.
A 3-bed semi, the most common house in town, is one load or two depending on the loft, the garage, and the garden furniture and shed contents.
Two trained crew arrive as standard, a driver and a helper. A third crew member joins when the move passes 30 cubic metres, which is typical for a full 4-bed house. The crew does the heavy lifting; you do not carry a thing.
Insurance, and who actually does the work
Every booking is fully insured with £50,000 of goods in transit insurance as standard, backed by public liability insurance. Loads are strapped and secure in transit, and careful, punctual handling is the job, not an extra.
YourVans is a local removal company, not a broker or a marketplace. Your move is done by our own employed crew, never subcontracted, in our own vans.
We are a house removal company based twenty minutes up the A19 in Jarrow. That makes us the removal company Peterlee customers deal with directly, from first quote to final box.
Areas we coverfrom Peterlee
The local removal company for every SR8 street. Twenty minutes up the A19 from our Jarrow yard.
Semi-detached and terraced houses that mostly park fine off the kerb, so the van sits at the door and the load runs fast.
A 1-bed flat in Eden Hill costs less to move than a 4-bed house bound for Durham city. The footpath-fronted houses and garage courts in parts of Sunny Blunts and Oakerside add carry distance.
Most Peterlee estates have driveways and good vehicle access, and the town centre sits a couple of minutes from the A19, which is how a Peterlee move stays a short job. Cul-de-sacs on the newer estates can be tight for a Luton to turn in, but the driveways more than make up for it.
Castle Eden Dene splits the south of the town, and the estates either side of it are not a short hop apart by road even when they look close on a map. The Pavilion crosses the watercourse on foot, not in a van. We know which estate sits on which bank and route the load accordingly.
The colliery terraces load from the street or the back lane. Tell us which when you book and the crew arrives with the carry planned.
Down to the Heritage Coast and inland. Coast-side properties load into an onshore wind that will catch a mattress or a wardrobe door, so upholstery travels covered. Priced from your actual volume and distance like every other job.
Part of the same patch, pricing from the same engine as the town itself.
Up the coast, and on the way back to the Jarrow yard.
Booking, notice and parking
YourVans, Jarrow Business Centre, Viking Industrial Park, Rolling Mill Road, Jarrow, Tyne and Wear, NE32 3DT. A fully insured home moving company with its own crew and own vans, serving Peterlee and the North East. We need 24 hours notice to book, and we work seven days a week including bank holidays. Parking is the first thing we ask about, because it decides where the van sits and how fast the load goes. Call 0191 323 4135 or email admin@yourvans.co.uk.
End of tenancy move-outs need the house empty before check-out, so book the crew for the morning. Families tied to school holidays should book earliest; term-time midweek dates are the easiest to get at short notice.
Regular corridors
Routes run to Sedgefield, Hartlepool, Sunderland and Durham, and anywhere within 150 miles of our Jarrow base is covered. For the wider county, see home removals across County Durham.

We need 24 hours notice to book, and we work seven days a week including bank holidays. Cancellation is free up to 48 hours before the move.
You can change your date free up to 24 hours before, which matters when a completion day slips.
Most Peterlee estates have driveways and good vehicle access, so the van parks at the door. Cul-de-sacs on the new build estates can be tight for a Luton, but the driveways help.
Semi-detached and terraced houses around Acre Rigg and Howletch mostly park fine off the kerb.
Footpath-fronted houses and garage courts
The exceptions are parts of Sunny Blunts and Oakerside. Sunny Blunts was laid out around the Apollo Pavilion with the houses turned about, so the front door opens onto a garden and footpath while the road side is the back — and parking sits in a garage court rather than at the kerb. The roads curve with the contours instead of running in a grid, so the nearest tarmac is often not the nearest door.
None of that is a problem when it is known in advance. Tell us the street and we work out where the van goes and how long the carry is before the day, so it is in the fixed price rather than a surprise on the morning.
The colliery terraces
Horden and Easington load from the street or the back lane, so tell us which when you book. These are the pit villages Peterlee was built to rehouse from in 1948, and the terraces long predate the town: no driveways, a shared back lane, and a front door straight onto the pavement.
The town itself is the easier half of the patch. It was built low-rise because the ground had been worked for coal and would not carry towers, so Peterlee has almost none of the walk-up flats that slow a move down — mostly houses, driveways and estate roads a Luton can turn in.
What happens onmoving day
Most Peterlee house moves ride on a completion chain. The wait costs you nothing extra.
The crew turns up on time
Briefed in advance. A walkthrough with you confirms the item list, settles the loading order, and flags anything that will not come through a door in one piece.
Loading in a set order
Floor protection goes down first, and doorways, corners and stair spindles are covered before a single item moves. Furniture and appliances load wrapped and strapped against the bulkhead, labelled boxes fill the gaps, and fragile items ride where the crew can see them.
We wait for the keys
Most Peterlee moves ride on a completion chain. We load in the morning, then wait with you for the solicitor's call. Because the price is fixed, the wait costs you nothing extra.
Off in reverse
At the new house everything comes off in the opposite order it went on.
Room-to-room placement
Each box lands where its label says, so you are not shifting them again after we leave. Then we walk the house with you and check the job matches what was agreed — nothing left on the van, furniture where you wanted it, and anything we took apart rebuilt.
