 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always on time, always friendly and always efficient! I've moved quite a few times in the last decade and this company is the only one I've relied on. Moving is such a stressful process and I honestly couldn't recommend their services more.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly Manny and he’s team are so professional and they simply put the other removal companies we used previously to shame! Email exchange was very quick, polite and extremely warm and welcoming. They work so hard and stayed passed  midnight with both my parents who are retired and 70 now. They treated them with kindness ,respect and I just want to say Thank you Manny for giving me peace of mind. Unfortunately I was unable to be there personally but with amazing people like manny and he’s company you could be in Timbuktu and know that your belongings are in safe hands.
I have and will continue to recommend your company Manny. Thank you for everything and the time you put in to this move. Gold medal for best movers ever!

Side note there must be something wrong with Google because you should only have 5 stars on your reviews!  Unfortunately unhappy people leave unhappy reviews even when it’s not true.

My families experience with you manny yesterday on the 1st of September was exceptional, first class service. Thank you so much for the care and especially for the Time you dedicated to the job. I hope you have a well rested weekend because you most definitely deserve it.

Many thanks

Frequently Asked Questions About Art Transport

Art removals refer to the professional services provided for safely and efficiently relocating delicate artwork. This can include fine art, sculptures, installations, and more. Reputable art movers specialise in handling such valuable and fragile items with care to avoid damage during transport.

Hiring professional art movers ensures that your valuable pieces of art are handled with the utmost care. These experts are trained in the safest techniques and have the necessary equipment to prevent any damage during the move. Additionally, they often provide insurance coverage, offering peace of mind should any unforeseen accidents occur.

Art removal services can handle a wide variety of art forms, including paintings, sculptures, antique items, textiles, and even large installations. Professional art movers are equipped to manage the transport of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional pieces with equal care.

Yes, there is a difference between art transport and art removals, though they are closely related.

Art Transport refers to the specialised service of moving artwork from one location to another, often involving long distances or international shipping. This service includes packing, handling, and transporting art pieces with extreme care to ensure their safety and integrity. It often involves climate-controlled vehicles, custom crating, and meticulous documentation for insurance and customs purposes.

Art Removals, on the other hand, typically involves moving artwork within a local area, such as from one home or office to another. While it also requires careful handling and packing, it is generally less complex than long-distance transport and may not require the same level of detailed documentation or specialised equipment.

Both services require expertise in handling valuable and delicate items, but the scope and logistical considerations differ based on the distance and specific requirements of the move.

Professional art movers use specialised materials and techniques to pack artwork securely. This often includes custom-built crates, high-quality wrapping materials, and cushioning to protect against shocks and vibrations during transit. The goal is to ensure each piece remains as stable and protected as possible throughout the move.

The cost of art removals can vary depending on several factors, including the size and number of pieces being moved, the distance of the move, and any additional services required (such as climate-controlled transport or insurance). While it may be more costly than standard moving services, the expertise and care provided by professional art movers can be invaluable.

Happy2Move is experienced in moving a variety of art forms such as paintings, sculptures, installations, and antiques. We guarantee that every piece receives the necessary care and protection it needs, no matter its size, value, or delicacy.

Our team uses precise packing methods and high-quality materials, including custom crating, to protect your artwork. Trained in advanced art logistics, our handlers ensure your pieces are securely moved, catering to both local and international requirements.

Absolutely, Happy2Move provides extensive solutions for shipping art internationally, including to exhibitions and museums. Leveraging our network, we oversee all elements of overseas moves, taking care of customs clearance and complying with international regulations, to guarantee your art arrives safely at its destination worldwide.

We provide comprehensive insurance for your art, encompassing public liability and goods-in-transit insurance, perfect for gallery exhibitions and art fairs. This coverage ensures your valuable items are fully protected from pick-up to delivery.
