When the Royal Society of Sculptors needed to relocate their Secret Sentinels sculptures, they turned to Happy2Move for a reason: trust. These sculptures weren’t just heavy—they were fragile, intricate, and irreplaceable. Moving them required more than just strength; it demanded skill, precision, and an unwavering commitment to care.

The Challenge

Relocating sculptures like the Secret Sentinels isn’t your typical move. These were:

  • Extremely Heavy and Delicate: Each piece required careful lifting and secure transport to prevent damage.
  • Fragile Beyond Measure: A single misstep could harm the sculptures or their fine details.
  • Demanding Special Attention: These valuable works of art needed to arrive in perfect condition, without a scratch.

If you’re wondering whether your own artwork or sculptures can be handled with this level of care, you’re in the right place. We understand the responsibility that comes with moving something precious.

How We Delivered Excellence

At Happy2Move, we don’t just move items—we move what matters. Here’s how we ensured the safe relocation of the Secret Sentinels:

  1. Meticulous Planning: Before lifting a single piece, we assessed each sculpture, understanding its weight, dimensions, and fragility. We developed a detailed plan to ensure their safety at every stage.
  2. Expert Handling: Our skilled team used specialised lifting techniques and professional-grade equipment, such as heavy-duty dollies and secure straps, to manage the sculptures’ weight while protecting their delicate surfaces.
  3. Secure Packing: Although the sculptures were already delicate, we went the extra mile to wrap them in protective padding, minimising risk during transport.
  4. Safe Transport: Once loaded, the sculptures were positioned securely in the vehicle, immobilised to prevent even the slightest movement during transit.

Our focus wasn’t just on getting the job done—it was on doing it right.

The Results

The Secret Sentinels sculptures were successfully relocated, arriving in pristine condition. Every piece was handled with the utmost care, and the entire move was completed on time.

When the Royal Society of Sculptors saw the result, they were thrilled, praising our team for their professionalism and dedication to excellence. They knew they’d made the right choice—and so can you.

Why This Matters for You

If you’re considering moving valuable artwork, sculptures, or any fragile pieces, we understand the concerns you might have. What if it gets damaged? Can I trust someone else with something so valuable? At Happy2Move, we’re here to put those worries to rest. We treat every item as if it were our own, ensuring it’s protected every step of the way.
