The honest caveat
Executors sometimes need valuations we cannot provide. We record condition and contents, but valuation is a separate professional service.
The service that solves this
Age-appropriate handling: no tape on original finishes, no pressure on veneers, no stacking. Condition is recorded before we touch anything.
- Written and photographic condition record before collection
- Declared value discussed openly before departure
- Specialist packing so handling in transit is not a risk
- Direct contact with the team managing your shipment

Frequently asked questions
What will it cost?
Guide prices start at £495 for this type of work. Blanket-wrapped, hand-loaded and delivered into the room where access allows. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.
How quickly can you help?
Message us on WhatsApp with the details and you will get a considered answer the same day during working hours. Urgent collections in mainland Great Britain can often be arranged within 60–90 minutes.
How do you protect an original finish?
Nothing adhesive touches the surface. We use tissue and soft wrap against the piece, blankets over that, and strapping only against protected areas. Where a finish is already fragile we crate rather than wrap.
Do you handle high-value single items?
Yes, and we will discuss declared value and cover levels with you before the job so expectations are clear. If the value exceeds what our standard arrangement covers, we will tell you and help you arrange specific cover.
