How MOVR handles Specialty Items with Care
Moving fragile, heavy, or unusual items across England calls for expertise beyond standard boxes and packing tape. At MOVR, specialty item relocations are a true art, we combine advanced materials, planning and skilled Movrs to protect any and every valuable or awkward possession.
What Are Specialty Items?
Specialty items include anything too delicate, valuable, oversized, or awkward for standard moving practices. Think pianos, fine art, antiques, safes, gym equipment, bespoke furniture, pool tables, grandfather clocks, and even taxidermy collections. Each requires unique care for packing, lifting, and transporting.
Assessment and Planning
MOVR's process begins with a thorough assessment. Our trusted partners evaluate each specialty item's size, weight, and fragility. We determine whether custom crates, specialist padding, or professional equipment are necessary and create a tailored plan for safe handling, often involving detailed measurements and route planning to navigate tight corners, narrow staircases, or listed properties.
Custom Packing Materials
We use only premium packing solutions for specialty pieces:
Custom-built crates for antiques and artwork
Piano boards and specialist dollies for heavy instruments
Foam inserts, protective wrapping, and extra-thick moving blankets
Anti-static materials for electronics
Every item is labeled with contents and handling instructions ("Fragile", "This Side Up") so our teams—and you—always know which pieces need extra care.
Professional Handling and Equipment
Our network movers are trained in specialist lifting techniques and use equipment designed for challenging items such as dollies, hoists, ramps, and professional straps. Some objects, like pool tables or gym sets, require disassembly and reassembly. That service is included, alongside careful setup at your new location.
We can move specialty items across England, from city flats to country estates, minimising risk and maximising security. All moves are fully tracked for your peace of mind.
Protection and Insurance
Specialty items, especially electronics, artwork, and antiques, often need climate-controlled transport or storage. MOVR's partner network offers fully insured moves for added protection, so even your irreplaceable treasures are covered throughout the journey.
