Professional packing is the foundation of a successful fragile item move. Our removal partners use industry-leading materials and techniques to protect every item.
Every fragile item is wrapped in multiple layers of protective material. Acid-free tissue paper is used for delicate surfaces, followed by bubble wrap for impact protection. Furniture-grade blankets are added for larger items like mirrors and artwork frames.
High-value and unusually shaped items are placed in custom-built wooden crates. These crates are lined with foam padding and designed to hold items firmly in place, eliminating any possibility of movement or impact during transport.
Boxes are filled with packing paper, foam peanuts, or air pillows to prevent items from shifting. Every gap is cushioned and each box is clearly labelled with its contents and handling instructions for careful placement in the vehicle.
Every fragile item move follows a proven process designed to protect your belongings from the moment they're packed to the moment they're placed in your new home.
A specialist surveys each fragile item, noting its material, value, dimensions, and any specific vulnerabilities to determine the best packing method.
Each item is individually wrapped, padded, and placed in the appropriate packaging — from tissue-wrapped china to custom-crated artwork and chandeliers.
Fragile items are loaded into the vehicle strategically, with heavier items at the bottom and lighter items on top, secured with straps and padding.
Drivers take smooth routes and drive carefully to minimise vibration and impact. Vehicles with air-ride suspension are used where available.
Items are carefully placed in your new property, unwrapped, and inspected with you to ensure everything has arrived in perfect condition.
