The honest caveat
Our standard arrangement has limits. Above them you will need specific cover, and we will tell you rather than let you assume.
The service that solves this
Framed and unframed work travels upright, protected against pressure and moisture, in a vehicle that never tips a load.
- Condition photographed before wrapping
- One managed shipment, tracked from collection to delivery
- Timed delivery for install dates and private views
- Discreet, unmarked handling where confidentiality matters

An itemised packing list with values and dimensions travels with the load, alongside the export documentation.

Frequently asked questions
What will it cost?
Guide prices start at Instant Quote for this type of work. Crated, high-value, oversized or time-critical consignments priced on the specifics. 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.
Do you build travel frames or cases?
For valuable or repeatedly-travelled work, yes — a reusable case is often cheaper over two or three movements than repeated soft packing. For a single journey we usually specify foam-lined protection instead.
Can you deliver to a gallery on an install date?
Yes. Tell us the install window when you request a quote and we will plan the crossing and driver hours around it rather than around ours.
