Fragile items wrapped in protective film with FRAGILE tape — Man and Van London

Expert Handling for Your Most Precious Items

Some things can't be replaced — a family heirloom, an original painting, a vintage mirror, a sculpture collected over a lifetime. These items demand more than bubble wrap and hope. They need specialist knowledge, premium materials, and white-glove handling.

Our fragile items team is trained in museum-quality packing techniques. We use acid-free tissue, custom-cut foam, bespoke wooden crates, and suspension packaging to protect even the most delicate items during transit.

What We Handle

  • Fine art: Oil paintings, watercolours, prints, framed photographs
  • Antiques: Period furniture, clocks, porcelain, silverware
  • Glass & mirrors: Large mirrors, glass table tops, chandeliers
  • Sculptures: Bronze, marble, ceramic, glass, mixed media
  • Musical instruments: Pianos, harps, cellos, violins
  • Electronics: Large TVs, vintage audio equipment, projectors

The Difference Between Careful and Specialist

Any good mover will be "careful." But careful isn't enough for a 17th-century oil painting, a Murano glass chandelier, or a family heirloom that's survived three generations. These items need specialist knowledge about materials, handling techniques, and packing methods.

Our fragile items team has worked with private collectors, galleries, auction houses, and interior designers across London. We understand the difference between handling a canvas and a panel painting, between wrapping bronze and wrapping marble.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our fragile items service.

What items count as "fragile"?

Anything that requires specialist handling beyond standard moving blankets: artwork, antiques, glass, mirrors, chandeliers, sculptures, musical instruments, vintage electronics, porcelain, and high-value items.

How much does it cost to move fragile items?

You get a free, fixed quote for standard fragile items (mirrors, framed prints), artwork and antiques, and items requiring custom crating. The quote depends on size, value, and handling complexity.

Do you provide custom crating?

Yes — we build bespoke wooden crates to the exact dimensions of your item. Crates include custom foam inserts, vibration dampening, and can be climate-sealed if needed.

Can you move an art collection?

Absolutely. We've relocated entire private art collections including paintings, sculptures, and installations. We work with your insurer and can provide condition reports.

Is there additional insurance for high-value items?

Yes — our standard cover is £50,000, but we offer extended insurance up to £100,000+ for high-value collections. We accept professional valuations for insurance purposes.

Can you work with our gallery or interior designer?

Yes — we regularly collaborate with galleries, auction houses, and interior designers. We're happy to coordinate timing, access, and placement with your design team.
