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.

- Glass & mirrors: Large mirrors, glass table tops, chandeliers

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.
Anything that requires specialist handling beyond standard moving blankets: artwork, antiques, glass, mirrors, chandeliers, sculptures, musical instruments, vintage electronics, porcelain, and high-value items.
From £50 for standard fragile items (mirrors, framed prints), £100+ for artwork and antiques, and £200+ for items requiring custom crating. Exact pricing depends on size, value, and handling complexity.
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.
Absolutely. We've relocated entire private art collections including paintings, sculptures, and installations. We work with your insurer and can provide condition reports.
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.
Yes — we regularly collaborate with galleries, auction houses, and interior designers. We're happy to coordinate timing, access, and placement with your design team.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from real customers.
From the initial quote to the final box being unpacked, everything was seamless. The quote was accurate, no hidden fees, and the team was lovely. Highly recommended!
We relocated our 15-person office over a weekend. Everything was labelled, moved, and set up by Monday morning. Zero downtime. Incredibly well-organised.
As a student on a tight budget, I was pleased to find such affordable rates. The driver helped me carry everything up to my third-floor flat. Absolute legend!
I've used several man and van services in London and these are by far the best. Punctual, careful, and genuinely nice people. The van was spotless and well-equipped.
Moving a 3-bed house with two kids was stressful enough, but these guys made it so much easier. They packed everything, loaded up the Luton van, and had us unpacked by tea time.
I only needed a single wardrobe moved and they were happy to help. No job too small! Great price and the driver was really friendly. Will definitely use again.
