Engineering auctions and asset disposal
Precision and general engineering workshops are our home ground. We value, sell and clear machine tools, fabrication plant and decades of accumulated tooling.
- Free valuation, no obligation
- Clear costs before you commit
- Collection and loading managed for you
Workshops sold by people who understand them
An engineering workshop is more than a list of machines. The value is in the detail: control fitted, tooling included, hours run, the difference between a loved machine and a worn one. Buyers know the difference, and so do we.
We sell engineering equipment week in, week out: subcontract machine shops, toolrooms, fabrication bays and jobbing shops. From one lathe to a complete works, the process is the same: honest values, a properly catalogued sale, and a clear site at the end.

Why engineering firms choose us
We speak the language
Catalogues written by people who know a Colchester from a XYZ, which is what trade buyers respond to.
Tooling counted
Decades of tooling and workholding often outvalue the machines. We catalogue it rather than skip-weight it.
Sensible logistics
Machine moves need riggers, not guesswork. Collections are supervised and insured.
One team throughout
Valuation, sale, payment and clearance from one Manchester-based team.
