Artwork and paintings need careful wrapping and handling. Whether you need a house removal or man and van, here is how to move artwork and paintings safely.
Paintings can be damaged by bumps, pressure, or temperature changes. Wrap and protect each piece. For valuable art, consider a specialist fine art mover. A man and van or house removal can handle standard pieces. Use our quote calculator and check our areas we serve.
Use acid-free paper or glassine against the surface. Wrap in bubble wrap with bubbles facing out. Use cardboard corners. Place in a picture box or crate. Never stack heavy items on top of paintings.
Keep artwork upright. Use blankets or boxes to prevent shifting. For high-value pieces, furniture delivery or removals teams with fine art experience may offer dedicated handling. Confirm insurance for valuable items.
Unpack carefully. Inspect for damage. Allow pieces to acclimatise before hanging. Avoid direct sunlight and damp.
For valuable art, get quotes from specialist movers. For standard pieces, a removals company can help. Confirm insurance coverage.
