Insights from a Moving Industry Expert – James Sanders
Moving to a new home in the UK is a significant life event, and it often involves transporting valuable possessions and precious antiques. With over 35 years of experience in the moving industry, I understand the unique challenges and responsibilities associated with moving such items. Whether you’re relocating to the picturesque town of Cannock, the historic city of Lichfield, the tranquil town of Stafford, or the vibrant city of Birmingham, this article provides expert insights and practical advice on how to safely and securely transport your valuables and antiques during your residential move.
Assessment and Documentation
Detailed Inventory
Create a detailed inventory list of all valuables and antiques you plan to move, including descriptions, photographs, and appraisals if available.
Professional Appraisal
Consider having your valuable items professionally appraised before the move to determine their current market value.
Assess Insurance
Review your insurance policies to understand coverage for your valuable items during the move. Consider additional coverage if needed.
Packing and Protection
Use Quality Materials
Invest in specialized packing materials such as custom crates, padded wraps, and anti-static packaging for electronics.
Extra Care
Pay extra attention to fragile items by using bubble wrap, packing paper, and sturdy boxes with ample cushioning.
Climate Considerations
For sensitive antiques, maintain a stable climate by using temperature-controlled transportation options.
Professional Packing Services
Experienced Removalists
Consider hiring professional removalist services like Cannock Removals, Lichfield Removals, Stafford Removals, or Birmingham Removals, who have experience in handling valuables and antiques.
Custom Crates
Opt for custom crates for highly valuable or delicate items to ensure maximum protection.
Specialized Transportation
Choose transportation methods that offer secure and monitored transport for your valuables.
Security Measures
Detailed Tracking
Maintain a detailed inventory tracking system to account for every item during the move.
Secure Storage
If necessary, store your valuables and antiques in a secure facility during the move, especially if there’s a gap between leaving your old home and moving into your new one.
Enhanced Security
Consider installing alarm systems and surveillance cameras for additional security
Unpacking and Placement
Careful Unwrapping
When unpacking, handle items delicately and ensure that no packing materials remain attached.
Strategic Placement
Place your valuables and antiques in secure locations in your new home, away from heavy traffic areas or potential hazards
Post-Move Appraisal
Consider getting your valuables and antiques reappraised after the move to update their valuation

They got me out of a tight spot at really short notice thanks to solicitors not exchanging contracts until 4 days before my move Extremely professional set up from the minute they arrived, throughout the whole day up until they left. They took great care with my furniture and other possessions and so skilled In getting everything into my brand new build property without causing any damage.

Kimberley Greenwood2023-05-29James & team recently helped us move house - we cannot fault the service and would highly recommend. James was really professional from the outset and also very flexible when our completion date kept moving around (unlike many other removal companies). The team that turned up on the day to support the move was also great - efficient and worked really hard throughout the move day. Moving Circles was also highly competitive in their pricing. Thank you Moving Circles - would definitely work with your team again in future!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
