Fragile, Valuable, Irreplaceable: How We Handle Your Belongings

Moving house or relocating a business is never just about transporting boxes—it’s about moving your life. For many, the greatest worry isn’t the furniture or the wardrobes, but the items that can’t be easily replaced: a family heirloom, an antique mirror, a beloved sculpture, or valuable electronics. At Crutch Bros, we understand the emotional and monetary value of your most fragile possessions, and we treat them with the respect they deserve.

What Qualifies as Fragile or Valuable?

Fragile and valuable items go beyond just the obviously delicate. These are the belongings that carry personal, historical, or financial worth—items that require extra care and precision:

Antiques and Collectibles: From vintage furniture to rare figurines, these often carry irreplaceable history.

Fine Art and Sculptures: Canvases, frames, and installations need bespoke packing to prevent even the smallest damage.

Electronics and Musical Instruments: Sensitive to both movement and temperature, these require anti-static and shock-absorbent materials.

Family Heirlooms and Sentimental Pieces: Priceless for personal reasons and often one-of-a-kind.

Important Documents: Legal files, certificates, or archival records demand secure and moisture-proof handling.

The Crutch Bros Approach to Specialist Packing

We treat your valuables as if they were our own. Our process is detailed, deliberate, and highly customised.

Assessment & Inventory
Before packing even begins, our trained surveyors carry out a thorough assessment. We evaluate the fragility, size, and shape of each item and create a full inventory to ensure nothing is overlooked.

Specialist Packing Materials
We use only the highest-quality materials for specialist packing, including:

  • Double-walled boxes for added strength
  • Foam padding and bubble wrap for cushioning
  • Acid-free tissue paper for delicate surfaces
  • Anti-static covers for sensitive electronics

Custom Crating for Unusual Items
Not everything fits neatly in a box. For items like chandeliers, oversized mirrors, or art installations, we design and build custom wooden crates that match the item’s dimensions and fragility. Each crate is lined to prevent vibration, impact, or moisture damage during transit.

Trained Professionals You Can Trust

Our packing team is professionally trained in manual handling and white-glove packing. Every member of the team understands the unique challenges of transporting high-value and irreplaceable items.

We also offer full insurance cover for added peace of mind—though our precision and care mean we rarely have to use it.

Safe Loading and Secure Transport

Once packed, your belongings are carefully loaded using strategic positioning to minimise movement and pressure. For extremely sensitive items, we offer climate-controlled vehicles and anti-slip flooring.

Every vehicle is fitted with GPS tracking, and our drivers are trained in careful transit protocol to ensure a smooth and safe journey from start to finish.

Why It’s Worth the Investment

Choosing a professional packing service for your most delicate belongings isn’t a luxury—it’s a safeguard. Here’s why:

  • Avoid the risk of damage or loss
  • Save time and stress
  • Ensure full insurance protection
  • Benefit from experienced, trained professionals

When it comes to moving fragile, valuable, or irreplaceable items, cutting corners is not an option. Crutch Bros ensures your peace of mind, from doorstep to destination.
