Moving Valuable Artwork and Fragile Items Safely

Artwork, mirrors, glass furniture, antiques and other delicate belongings require more care than standard household items.

Before moving fragile possessions, identify which items need specialist handling.

Make a Fragile Item List

Walk through your home and identify:

• Paintings
• Mirrors
• Glass tables
• Sculptures
• Antiques
• Delicate decorations
• Collectibles
• Fragile electronics

Create a separate list for these items.

Use Suitable Protection

Fragile items should have appropriate wrapping and cushioning. Corners and exposed surfaces may require additional protection.

Avoid placing heavy objects on top of delicate belongings.

Photograph Valuable Items

Before packing, consider taking photographs of valuable or delicate items. Photos can help you document their condition before transportation.

Tell Your Movers

Always inform your removalist about fragile and valuable belongings before moving day.

This allows the team to plan suitable handling and transportation arrangements.

Do Not Overload Boxes

A box filled beyond its safe capacity can become difficult to carry and may increase the risk of damage.

Use appropriately sized boxes and suitable cushioning.
