Have you tried "7.5T truck hire Sunderland" or similar in Goggle - only used Sunderland as a possible in the NE. Our neighbour had one to move him and his kids back north a couple of weekends back.

just googled it, it appears that hiring a 3.5-7.5t vehicle for non profit or reward i.e a house move is tacho exempt, so no need to use it, but if the truck is been used as part of your/ your employers business for hire or reward a tacho is required and you would need a digi card (only £20), although once you have a digicard you have to carry it whenever driving a tacho'd vehicle even if said vehicle is on an analogue tacho
