Limitations & Specialist Requests
- High-value items: We assess items individually and may recommend bespoke crating or specialist art transport for exceptional value or conservation requirements.
- Extremely fragile or conserved pieces: We may involve specialist partners for climate-controlled transport or conservation-grade packing.
- Fixings and installation: We do not drill walls or install security fixings; we can work alongside your chosen installer or recommend partners.
- Restricted access: Tight staircases, limited lift sizes or complex access may require additional labour or hoisting solutions; we’ll quote accordingly.
- International shipping: We can prepare items for export and coordinate with your shipper, but we do not provide customs brokerage.
If your move involves unusual dimensions, site challenges, or museum-grade packing, we’ll prepare a bespoke plan after a site visit or virtual survey.

Local Service In North London
We understand the realities of moving antiques around North London properties—narrow hallways, sash windows, tight stairwells, and busy streets. Parking and access can be challenging in N zones, so we plan ahead, apply for permits where needed, and use appropriate van sizes to suit the street and load. Our team brings floor protection for hardwoods and tiles, and we can schedule lifts or service entrances in blocks and commercial premises. For larger pieces, we plan safe carry routes through gardens or courtyards and coordinate with building managers when required.
If you’re within N, we can schedule appointments across weekdays and selected weekends to fit gallery openings, auctions, or home renovations. Whether it’s a single heirloom or a full collection, we tailor our approach to your property and priorities in North London.
For access advice and permits, see our guidance on Parking And Access, and view available Van Sizes to match your move.
