SPECIALIST CARE

Care for valuable and fragile items

Our art and antiques service gives the highest level of care to valuable, fragile and irreplaceable items. We move delicate paintings and sculptures, fine furniture and collectibles that need expert handling rather than a general removals crew.

Whether you are relocating, selling, exhibiting or putting pieces into store, we keep your items protected from collection to delivery. We combine specialist packing, careful transport and secure storage so artwork, antiques and collectibles of all kinds are handled to one consistent standard.

TRANSPORT

Specialist art and antique transport

Each move is handled by a trained crew using purpose-built equipment. Fragile, high-value items are wrapped, padded and secured before they go anywhere, and we tailor the approach to the piece in front of us rather than forcing everything into the same box.

This is the same discipline we apply to grand pianos every day. The packing materials, the lifting kit and the vehicles are built for items that cannot simply be replaced if something goes wrong in transit.

  • Expert handling by teams trained to move fragile, high-value items with precision
  • Protective packing, with every item wrapped and padded for the journey
  • Custom solutions from single pieces to full collections
  • Collection and delivery across GB mainland and Northern Ireland

STORAGE

Secure storage for artwork and antiques

When you need somewhere safe to keep pieces, our storage is clean, dry and secure, and set up for long-term preservation. We hold items short term during a move or longer term for collectors and dealers.

Storage is part of the same service, not a separate handover to a third party. The crew that collects and packs your pieces is the crew that stores them and redelivers to your home, gallery or exhibition when you are ready.

  • Clean, dry and secure storage built for long-term preservation
  • Short-term storage during a move or longer-term for collectors and dealers
  • Redelivery to your home, gallery or exhibition when required
