Antiques & auction transport

Antiques & auction transport done properly

Antiques, fine art and valuables need more than a van and a couple of straps. They need careful, expert handling and the right packing, and they need people who understand what they are carrying.

We are specialist antique carriers, and we are trusted by some of the leading auction houses and fine art valuers in the South East to collect from and deliver to their clients. From a single fragile piece to the contents of a country house, we handle it properly.

Auction houses and fine art valuers across the region use us regularly to collect on their behalf from clients, and to deliver pieces won at auction. Directors at Summers Place Auctions and Bellmans Auctioneers, among others, recommend us, and we are happy to provide references.

We have handled some memorable assignments over the years, from delivering an award-winning garden designer's plants to the Hampton Court Flower Show, to collecting and delivering pieces that appear on the BBC's Bargain Hunt.

Packing that protects value

The value of an antique can vanish with a single chip or scratch. We pack to protect: purpose-made materials for glass and ceramics, proper support for furniture and frames, and the experience to know how each piece should be carried and loaded. Clients regularly tell us how impressed they are with the speed and expertise of our packing.

I am so grateful to Wayne, Richard, Simon, Justin and Paul of Clear House Moves. Yesterday I moved my furniture and belongings into my new home. They made a huge job look easy! Responsive communication when requesting a quote and booking the removals date. The vans were punctual and the guys were friendly, careful and efficient. I couldn't have wished for better and highly recommend Clear House Moves.

I have used Clear House Moves several times over the past 5 years. The company was recommended to me by an auction house as being very careful when moving antique furniture. I can see why. On each occasion I have used the team from Clear House Moves, they have delivered an efficient , trouble free good natured service at a very competitive price. I have no hesitation in recommending them highly.
