PQS Survey’s Leeds depot is the company’s national headquarters and operational hub for the North, managing core functions including HR, IT and accounts.
Supporting projects across Yorkshire, Lancashire and the wider North, the site combines decades of surveying expertise with advanced digital construction technology.
Services include specialist equipment hire, calibration and repair, EUSR CAT and Genny training, and large-scale consumables supply. Leeds is also the UK base for TinyMobileRobots, supporting autonomous site setting-out and modern construction workflows.
The Operational Heart of Construction Support Across the North
Our Leeds depot is far more than our original location; it serves as the National Headquarters for PQS Survey. As the central nervous system of our company, this hub houses our core business functions, including Accounts, HR, and IT, ensuring seamless operations across our entire UK network.
Strategically positioned to lead the Northern construction landscape, our Leeds base provides an unparalleled level of support for survey and safety equipment requirements across the region.
From this central vantage point, we serve the major industrial and commercial powerhouses of Leeds, Manchester, and Liverpool, as well as the thriving urban centres of Sheffield, Bradford, and Huddersfield. Our logistics network extends across the Pennines to Preston, Blackburn, and Blackpool, reaching north through Harrogate, Wakefield and York. Whether you are managing a high-rise development in Manchester city centre or a major infrastructure project in West Yorkshire, our Leeds HQ provides the foundational expertise and rapid response your site demands.
A Foundation of Expertise: Decades at the Forefront of the Industry
The Leeds depot represents both the heritage and the future of PQS Survey. As our flagship location, it is staffed by a team that carries the collective memory of the UK surveying industry. We have grown alongside the Northern skyline, providing the technical backbone for some of the region’s most significant civil engineering and utility projects.
Our team possesses a sophisticated understanding of the evolving digital landscape in construction. We facilitate the transition from traditional site practices to advanced digital construction workflows, ensuring that contractors in Liverpool, Sheffield, and beyond have access to the latest spatial data technology. Despite our national scale, our Leeds team remains committed to the local, approachable service that defined our first day in business.
“Leeds is where the PQS story began, and it remains the engine room of our national operation. We don’t just supply equipment from here; we manage the vital business functions that allow our entire team to deliver excellence on-site, every single day.”
Zach, PQS Leeds Depot Manager
Specialised Hire: Precision Survey and Site Protection
We operate a high-capacity hire fleet designed to meet the rigorous demands of the UK’s most intensive building sites. Our equipment is managed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring peak performance for every deployment. Contractors across Bradford, Harrogate, and Preston rely on us for the hire of rotating lasers, pipe lasers, cobra reels, and comprehensive confined space safety kits. Our national HQ status ensures that we maintain the depth of inventory required to support even the largest multi-phase projects without delay.
The Flagship Service, Calibration and Repair Centre
Our Leeds workshop is the definitive centre for technical maintenance within the North. We provide an exhaustive range of service, calibration, and repair solutions, specialising in the lifecycle care of Abtech Safety and Globestock Safety confined space and rescue systems. As a national headquarters, we ensure that every safety asset is certified to the highest legal standards, providing essential protection for workforces in South Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Merseyside.
Our engineers are factory-trained to service Leica and Topcon geospatial instruments, alongside Spectra Precision lasers, ensuring the highest degree of field accuracy. We are also a trusted regional specialist for the maintenance of MSA gas detectors and Draeger escape sets. By centralising our technical expertise in Leeds, we offer rapid, reliable turnaround times that keep the North’s most vital infrastructure projects moving forward.
Exclusive UK Distributors for TinyMobileRobots
Innovation is driven from our Leeds HQ. As the exclusive UK distributor for TinyMobileRobots, we are leading the digital transformation of site setting-out. These autonomous robotic solutions are revolutionising how contractors in Leeds, Manchester, and Liverpool approach site marking, delivering significant savings in time and labour costs while eliminating human error. By integrating these robotic systems into your workflow, you are adopting the future of autonomous construction technology.
EUSR CAT and Genny Training
Safety is the cornerstone of our corporate identity. The Leeds depot serves as a training centre for EUSR-accredited CAT and Genny training, setting the benchmark for utility detection standards. We believe that professional competence is the most effective tool for preventing site accidents and utility strikes.
Our training programmes are delivered by industry veterans who understand the practical realities of excavation in complex urban environments like Leeds and Manchester. We empower site teams with the technical skills needed to master electromagnetic location, ensuring that every operator is an asset to their project’s safety record.
The North’s Primary Hub for Survey Accessories and Consumables
Our Leeds warehouse holds a massive, centralised stock of survey accessories and consumables, serving as the primary supply point for the entire Northern region. We understand that a lack of basic site essentials can cause disproportionate delays. We maintain deep stocks of everything from heavy-duty tripods and prisms to survey flags, pipe stoppers, mag nails, and high-visibility paints. Our location allows for efficient collection or rapid delivery to sites across the M62 corridor, ensuring you are never without the critical supplies your project requires.
