Specialty item handling

Pianos, art and antiques, in expert hands.

Upright and grand pianos, artwork, antiques and fragile valuables, moved with the right equipment and extra protection.

Overview

When getting it right matters most.

Some items need more than strong arms. Pianos are heavy and delicate at the same time, and artwork and antiques can be irreplaceable.

We assess each item, choose the right equipment and crew size, and add extra wrapping and padding where it is needed. Then we plan the route through both properties before we lift anything.

What’s included

  • Upright and grand pianos
  • Framed artwork and mirrors
  • Antiques and heirloom furniture
  • Extra padding and protective wrapping
  • Piano boards, straps and specialist trolleys
  • Careful placement at the destination

Piano boards, straps and trolleys for heavy, delicate items.
