Our Services
We offer thoughtful, reliable delivery of distinctive items — specialising in antiques, interiors, and one-off pieces. While care and attention are central to what we do, we’re not a white-glove service, and we’re always clear about what we can and can’t take on.
Antique Couriering
We regularly move antique furniture, mirrors, clocks and similar items. Everything is blanket-wrapped and handled securely, with an understanding of the nature and value of older pieces — but we’ll always be honest about what’s realistic for transport.
Interior & Design Deliveries
We work with interior designers, stylists and homeowners to deliver furniture, artwork, and one-off pieces. Whether it’s a prop for a shoot or a bespoke item for a room install, we’ll arrange flexible delivery with minimal fuss.
One-off Moves & Trade Routes
From individual deliveries to planned multi-drops, we’re happy to take on custom jobs — whether it’s a single awkward item or a set of deliveries for a trade client or emporium. Just send over the details and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Why Choose Us?
Your items deserve more than just a delivery – they deserve care, respect, and attention at every step. Here’s how we make sure every journey meets the highest standards.
Careful, blanket-wrapped handling
Every item is handled as if it were our own. We use soft blankets, secure positioning, and thoughtful loading to ensure each piece arrives in perfect condition — whether it’s a delicate antique or a well-loved heirloom.
Clear, upfront pricing
No hidden charges or vague estimates. We offer transparent, competitive pricing based on your delivery’s needs — and we’ll always confirm everything in writing.
Polite, experienced drivers
Our drivers are hand-picked for their courtesy, care, and professionalism. They understand the value of the items they carry — and the importance of respectful service from start to finish.
Fully insured with goods in transit cover and public liability
Your peace of mind matters. We are fully insured, with specialist goods-in-transit cover for antiques and valuables and hold public liability insurance.
Reliable routes and flexible timings
We plan each route carefully to avoid unnecessary handling, delays, or detours. At the same time, we offer flexible delivery windows to suit your schedule and your client’s needs.
Communication with both client and point of collection
We keep both the recipient and the collection contact (dealer, restorer, private seller — whoever’s involved) in the loop throughout. Clear, friendly updates mean everyone knows what to expect and when.
