Imagine the challenge of trying to move an entire house – fixtures, fixings, brick walls, chimney, windows and roof – intact through a major city, over a mountain range or across a frozen lake.

Each episode follows teams of movers as they race against time to move monstrous structures to new and ever challenging locations.
