For Lincoln artists, collectors, galleries, framers and private sellers
Fine Art Courier in Lincoln
Moving a painting, framed print, sculpture or antique from Lincoln? We send a dedicated van with one driver, collecting from your door and delivering direct, with no depot or hub transfers. Tell us what the piece is, its wrapped size and value, and the access at both ends; we confirm the handling, vehicle and price in writing before you book.
Collection and delivery are required — a town, city or postcode is enough.
Choose the vehicle that fits the wrapped piece, then describe the artwork: framed or unframed, glazed or not, wrapped size, approximate weight, declared value and access at both ends. The figure shown is an indicative transport estimate only; handling, vehicle suitability, cover and availability are confirmed in writing before booking.
What's in scope (and what isn't)
We'd rather be honest about boundaries than win a job we can't do properly.
What we do
- Paintings, framed prints, mirrors, sculpture, ceramics and smaller antiques
- Blanket wrapping and edge protection, with the piece secured upright in the van
- Two-person handling for large canvases, heavy frames and awkward pieces where agreed
- Condition photos at collection and delivery, with a signed proof of delivery
- Single-item moves for artists and buyers, and gallery or framer runs by arrangement
What we don't
- Climate-controlled or museum-grade conditioned transport
- Bespoke crating, specialist packing or valuations; use a specialist art shipper for these
- Export paperwork or international art shipping
- Hanging, installation or wall fixing at the destination
Planning collections in uphill Lincoln
Much of uphill Lincoln is historic and tightly laid out. Steep Hill is a very steep, narrow and largely pedestrianised street, and parts of Bailgate and the Cathedral Quarter have restricted vehicle access, limited loading space and narrow doorways or stairs in older buildings. Tell us the exact address, the nearest point a van can legally stop, any carry distance or steps, and whether a gallery, framer or venue has set loading times. We use that to decide whether two people are needed and how the piece is carried, and we confirm the arrangements before booking. Collections and deliveries elsewhere in Lincoln and the surrounding area, such as North Hykeham, Bracebridge Heath or Birchwood, are planned the same way.
How it works

Give both addresses, the item type, wrapped dimensions, approximate weight, declared value and access details.
We check suitability
We confirm the vehicle, whether two people are needed, the wrapping required and whether cover suits the declared value.

You receive the agreed price and collection arrangements before anything is booked.
Collection and delivery

FAQs
Is my artwork insured during transport?▼
Goods-in-transit cover is provided through the assigned driver's policy and is subject to policy terms, exclusions, packaging, declared value and evidence of value. Fine art and antiques may be limited or excluded, so tell us the declared value before booking and we will confirm what applies or whether additional cover is needed.
Can you collect from Steep Hill or Bailgate?▼
Usually, but vehicle access in parts of uphill Lincoln is restricted. Tell us the address, where a van can stop and any carry distance or steps, and we will confirm the handling arrangements before booking.
Do you supply crates?▼
No. We blanket-wrap and protect pieces for direct van transport. If a piece needs a bespoke crate, have it crated by a specialist first and we can transport the crated item.
Which vehicle should I choose in the quote box?▼
Choose the smallest vehicle that comfortably fits the wrapped piece standing upright. If you are unsure, give the dimensions in the item details and we will confirm the right vehicle before booking.
Can you deliver outside Lincolnshire?▼
Yes. Enter any UK delivery address in the quote box. The same dedicated-van service applies to longer journeys.
Can I book a flexible date to reduce the cost?▼
Flexi7 lets us collect and deliver within a seven-day window where suitable and available, at a lower transport price. Choose Urgent if the date is fixed.
