For Truro artists, galleries, framers, buyers and private collectors
Fine Art Courier in Truro — Request a Careful, Tailored Quote
Need a painting, framed work, print, ceramic piece or sculpture moved to or from Truro? Start with the quick quote calculator: enter collection and delivery postcodes, then tell us the artwork's protected dimensions, approximate weight, declared value and handling needs. We coordinate a suitable courier arrangement and confirm availability, vehicle, protection requirements, insurance position and final price before accepting the job.
Collection and delivery are required — a town, city or postcode is enough.
Enter both postcodes in the quick quote calculator, then describe each artwork, its packed dimensions, weight and declared value. Say whether it is already wrapped or crated, whether stairs or a second handler are involved and when it can be released. The calculator provides an initial transport estimate; confirm suitability, handling, specialist exclusions and cover 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
- Discuss transport of framed pictures, canvases, ceramics and small sculptures on a case-by-case basis.
- Match the vehicle and loading method to the protected dimensions, weight and access at both addresses.
- Arrange appropriate blankets, securing and additional handling assistance where agreed and available.
- Coordinate delivery details with the named recipient and confirm the planned handover.
- Provide a tailored quote for Truro collections, deliveries and onward journeys across the UK.
What we don't
- Assume every artwork is covered by standard goods-in-transit insurance.
- Promise museum-grade climate control, conservation handling or bespoke crating unless separately verified and arranged.
- Guarantee an immediate collection slot or fixed transit time before checking driver availability.
- Assume a city-centre gallery or museum has accessible kerbside loading.
- Claim any formal relationship with Truro galleries, museums or local artists.
Plan an artwork collection in central Truro
For collections around Lemon Street, River Street and Truro's central streets, confirm the precise loading point, legal vehicle stopping arrangements, distance to the entrance, steps and any timed access before we allocate a van. Cornwall Museum & Art Gallery confirms that its River Street site has no car-parking facilities; this illustrates why a venue address alone is not a loading plan, and does not imply that we work with the museum. For artwork moving to or from another Cornish town or elsewhere in the UK, include both complete postcodes and the recipient's receiving arrangements.

The complete job is reviewed before a written quotation. General guidance is available in our price guide.
Quick quote: start with the route
The calculator is the fastest way to estimate dedicated transport between your chosen postcodes. It cannot assess the condition, packing or insurability of an artwork.
Specialist requirements are quoted
Oversized frames, fragile glazing, additional handlers, restricted city-centre access, waiting and extra protection can change the final price. We confirm these before acceptance.
FAQs
Can you collect artwork from central Truro?▼
We can review a collection request, subject to a suitable driver and safe, lawful loading arrangements. Please provide the exact address, access details and preferred date; do not assume collection is automatically available.
How do I get a price for a painting from Truro?▼
Enter collection and delivery postcodes in the quick quote calculator, choose an appropriate vehicle estimate and include the wrapped dimensions, weight, value, packing and handling notes. We confirm the final suitability and quotation before booking.
Is fine art automatically insured?▼
No. Fine art, fragile objects and antiques may be excluded or restricted under goods-in-transit policies. Tell us the declared value and nature of the work so we can check applicable cover, limits, conditions and any specialist arrangements before you commit.
Do you provide museum-standard packaging or custom crates?▼
Do not assume we provide bespoke crating or conservation-grade protection. Describe the item and packaging already available; we will confirm whether suitable protection can be arranged or whether specialist preparation is needed first.
What if the collection is on Lemon Street or River Street?▼
Provide the venue's loading instructions, where the driver may lawfully stop, carrying distance and any appointment requirements. City-centre access needs checking for the particular address, especially for large framed work.
Can you transport sculpture or an oversized canvas?▼
Potentially, subject to dimensions, weight, fragility, secure loading, staffing and cover. Share photographs and exact protected measurements before choosing a vehicle or booking.
Can I request same-day artwork transport?▼
You can request an urgent collection, but availability, protection, safe handling and the delivery window must be agreed before we confirm the job.
