Packaging fine art for shipping can be tricky!

When a customer looks for a specialist to package their fine art and valuables; removals companies like ourselves come up against some frequently asked questions. Our customers are very cautious about the shipment of their precious artwork and collections. We are often asked;

  • Do you know what you are doing?
  • How will you pack it?
  • What materials will you use?

We can assure you, we know what we are doing!

We fully understand the importance of art and also the necessity to keep it all in the one piece! We travel all over Northern Ireland, Ireland, UK and Europe delivering our customers precious goods to their doors. No matter where in the world we travel to, or how long we are on the road, your artwork and valuables will be securely protected door-to-door.
