Who, what how and/or where do I get this job done tomorrow?
Hi, I have a 5 mtr x 2.5 mtr concrete sectional garage I have been asked to arrange for it to be removed from Sutton in Surrey and delivered to Rochester,Kent. the planks that comprise the garage are bolted together, there are no posts because it is freestanding.They are 400mmx1200mm x 50mm thick and weigh 70 kilo each. There are 29 planks that are heavy enough to be almost too much for two guys to move. tthe men that took the garage down are unable to drive a hire vehicle as they are too young (must be over 25yrs) and I do not even know what section or heading I should be looking under in the business pages. It's not removal men its not man and van (transit van is too small as roof panels are 5 mtr long), what heading do trucks with assisted crane loading come under anyway

Try Cranes, Wrecker Service(some have long flatbed backs to them), or look under heavy equipment. If all else fails, call someone in construction in your area. They will know who to call.

as a builder i have taken down and rebuilt these type of garage many times ..its not hard and providing the base is flat then it can be built in a few hours ..its best to have two people at first ..one to hold the corner post and one to fit the first panel ...then its like jigsaw ..fit a post ..then a panel ..measure them to make sure you do not have one that has the slope built into them to create a fall for the roof ..and honest the panels are not heavy .i can carry and fit them on my own ....the total weight is over two tons ..so you will need a flatbed truck ..you wont need a crane .look in yellow pages ..but remember ..these things sometimes cost more to reconstruct than they are worth

In Canada we call them House Movers that is what they are listed as in the phone book. You can also call the telephone company or electric company they may be able to help you as very often they have to go a head of the moving[ flatbed ]truck to lift the wires also try your local police as they are often involved with this kind of move and may know the name of a company that does the actual move . good luck!
