How to Secure Your Valuables During a Move: Tips from the Experts

Home Removal Tips

When moving to a new home or office, securing your valuables is a top priority. Valuable items such as artwork, antiques, and delicate electronics require special attention to ensure they arrive at your new location in perfect condition. Advanced Removals & Storage offers expert advice and services to safeguard your most prised possessions during the moving process. Here’s how you can protect your valuables with the help of our experienced team.

Inventory Management

Before anything else, creating a detailed inventory of your valuable items is crucial. This list should include descriptions, estimated value, and any existing damages. Advanced Removals & Storage provides professional inventory services, ensuring every item is accounted for before the move begins. This not only helps in organising and planning the packing process but also in the event of needing to file an insurance claim.

Custom Packing Solutions

Each valuable item demands a tailored packing approach to provide maximum protection:

  • Artwork: We use acid-free papers, custom-sized crates, and padded frames designed to hold art securely in place, protecting it from jolts and humidity changes.
  • Antiques: Depending on the item, we might use bubble wrap, custom-built wooden crates, or soft padding materials to cushion and protect each piece.
  • Electronics: Anti-static bubble wrap, waterproof containers, and sturdy boxes are utilised to protect sensitive electronics from static and impact.

Advanced Removals & Storage’s packing materials are of the highest quality, ensuring that every item is well-protected during transit.

Insurance Coverage

Securing adequate insurance coverage is essential when moving valuable items. Advanced Removals & Storage offers a range of insurance options to cover your valuables from potential risks associated with moving. We work closely with you to determine the appropriate level of coverage based on the value and fragility of your items, providing peace of mind throughout the move.

Expert Handling

Our team is specially trained to handle and transport valuable items. With years of experience, our movers know exactly how to pack, load, and position your valuables in the moving truck to minimise risk. Advanced techniques and equipment are used to ensure the safe handling of each valuable item from start to finish.
