When is Special-item Moving right for you?
Special items are only handled as case-by-case overviews; we do not establish a fixed scheme applicable to all pianos, safes, artwork, or large glass. Each item must have an independent inventory, verifying current condition, weight data, fragile points, and the complete route from origin to drop-off before assessment.
02
Large glass, fish tanks, or objects with uneven centres of gravity susceptible to damage under stress.
03
Cases requiring item-by-item assessment because model, weight, or route are still to be verified.

What affects your quote?
Individual specifications
Similar items have different weight distributions, materials, and load-bearing points.
Original condition
Cracks, loose parts, aging, and previous repair locations must be photographed and recorded first.
Entire route
Narrowest doorways, corners, steps, slopes, and parking distances are all essential.
Ancillary needs
Protection, fixation, dismantling, or third-party services must be confirmed per case.
Checklist
Prepare these details or photos before requesting a quote
- 1Provide photos of four sides, the bottom, and details for each item separately.
- 2Submit brand, model, accurate dimensions, and traceable weight information.
- 3Point out cracks, looseness, sensitive parts, and non-load-bearing areas.
- 4Measure the entire route at both locations, not just the lift doors.
- 5Explain final placement, site time slots, and management restrictions.
Special items must be assessed item-by-item and route segment by route segment.
An overview is not a guarantee of acceptance; if information is unclear, routes are insufficient, or necessary professional procedures cannot be arranged, supplement surveys first rather than applying general moving methods.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Can the same type of piano be quoted using a standard method?
No, you cannot rely just on category; model, weight, caster condition, steps, and corners must be verified for each item.
Does antique moving include valuation and restoration guarantees?
General assessments do not include valuation or restoration; clients should provide condition records first, and relevant professional services should be arranged separately.
Can you confirm the order if route information is incomplete?
We can only organise missing data; do not confirm handling plans until the inventory list and full routes at both locations are verified.
