The Stoke Newington Removal Company recently completed a perfect job for Amy. This house move demonstrated our expertise in handling large, complicated relocations. Amy's property was extra large, requiring a two-day effort with an expert team of packers and handymen to ensure everything was safely transported. Our meticulous planning and execution, combined with the skills of our professional movers, resulted in a smooth and successful move.
Detailed Planning and Execution
Amy's move was extensive, requiring careful planning and coordination. One of the biggest challenges we faced was the limited parking at her new property. With careful planning we were able to arrange the right parking permissions, ensuring that the move was completed without any issues. Our team contacted the local authorities weeks in advance to secure the necessary permissions and logistics, allowing our moving vans easy access to her property on both days.
Expert Handling of Large and Fragile Items
Our experienced staff packed numerous large and fragile items from Amy's living room. This included a large antique mirror that required a bespoke wooden crate to ensure its safety. Delicate picture frames and ornaments were protected with appropriate packaging and boxed securely. We moved a 2-seater sofa, a 3-seater sofa, two armchairs, a coffee table, a TV, and four lamps. Each item was carefully wrapped and handled to prevent any damage during transit.
Antiques need more than good wrapping. It is worth photographing each piece from every side before it is touched, including the back and underside, and keeping receipts, auction records and other provenance papers with you rather than in the van. Marble and stone tops travel on their edge, never flat, gilded frames are handled with clean cotton gloves, and glazed doors come off where practical. Old furniture also reacts to its surroundings after a move: sudden changes in temperature or humidity can lift veneer or open up cracks weeks later, so antiques are best kept away from radiators and damp rooms while they settle. Our guide to moving and storing antiques explains more.
Moving a Heavy Upright Piano
One of the most challenging items to move was a large and heavy upright piano. The size and weight of this meant that special equipment and techniques had to be used. Our team's experience ensured that the piano was transported without any damage, showcasing our ability to handle even the most cumbersome and delicate items.
Comprehensive Packing and Transport
In addition to the living room items we moved a multitude of other furniture pieces, such as tables and chairs, display cabinets, desks, and home-office furniture. Our expert packers wrapped and packed over 100 boxes of kitchenware, ensuring each item was protected during transport. Heavy and larger items were placed into boxes in a sensible manner to avoid crushing other items.
Kitchenware is packed with plain packing paper rather than newspaper, which marks china and glass. Glasses travel upright with a twist of paper inside and extra padding around the stem, bowls nest with paper between each one, and pans are nested with paper between them too. Cell dividers keep glasses apart in larger quantities, and a cushion of crumpled paper at the bottom, sides and top of every box means nothing fragile touches the cardboard. Packed this way, a box of glassware survives a journey that would break a badly packed one on the same shelf of the same van.
Bedroom and Garden Items
From the bedrooms our handyman team dismantled four beds, several nightstands, and three chests of drawers. We packed many valuable antiques and personal items which had to be clearly labelled and looked after at all times. Our removal crew took extra care to protect these items by wrapping them in protective materials and moving them with the greatest caution. We also moved four heavy plant pots and plants from the garden, and an array of tools from the garage. The plants required special attention to avoid damage. A vintage brass bathroom mirror needed to be wrapped and packed with special materials and handled cautiously to prevent damage during transport.
Effective Communication and Customer Satisfaction
Communication with Amy was crucial throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation and planning to the final delivery, we kept her updated at every stage. Our no-nonsense approach ensured that Amy was always aware of the situation and confident that her possessions were in good hands. She praised our professionalism, politeness, and the hard work of our team, appreciating how well the move was executed.
