Packing & careful handling

The wrapping is where a move is won or lost

Anything can be carried; the question is whether it arrives as it left. Our packing gives the fragile and valuable things the individual attention they need.


Most breakages do not happen in the van — they happen in a box that was packed in a hurry. A framed print laid flat, a wine glass with nothing between it and the next, a marble lamp base wrapped in a tea towel. Careful packing is unglamorous and it is the single biggest difference between a good move and a bad one.

We bring proper materials and the patience to use them — tissue and bubble for the delicate, blanket-wrap and corner protection for the heavy, purpose-made cartons for pictures and mirrors, and bespoke crating for pieces that warrant it.

How much you pack is up to you

Full packing

We pack the whole home, room by room, with the right materials for each thing — you lift the phone, not the boxes.

Part packing

You handle the everyday items; we take on the fragile, awkward or valuable pieces you would rather not risk.

Fragile-only

Just the glassware, ceramics, framed art and heirlooms — wrapped and boxed to travel safely, left to us.
