A multi location move

10,000 cubic foot move to multiple homes including storage

With a removal of this nature there is no ‘off the shelf’ move plan that fits all. Our move plan was bespoke to work around our client’s specific timing requirements as well as what would work logistically. There were several requirements to take into account.

• 700 cubic foot moved from the main house to client’s temporary property in Mayfair, London.
• Removal of 1300 cubic foot of client’s friends & family’s belongings to outhouses at final destination.
• 8000 cubic foot moved to Williams & Yates storage facilities for 3 months.
• Completion of delivery out of storage at the client’s convenience.

• 

• Dedicated project management

  With many specifics to the move, organisation is of the upmost importance to our client. We allocated a dedicated move manager to oversee the move from quotation through to the final completion of the removal out of storage. Through our extensive experience there are many steps taken to ensure a seamless move and avoid things getting lost in translation.

  • An on site survey was carried out with the clients. This enabled us to understand fully what items needed to be moved where and when they needed to be moved. We had a great understanding of the time constraints involved with the different parts of the move. The quotation and move plan was tweaked several times before the final plan was arranged.
  • The same project manager was then physically on the move from the start of the project. The team leader on the move was briefed and each item was labelled using a colour co-ordinated system demarcating which items were due to go to each location.
  • The client maintained one point of contact with the project manager to ensure continuality and that elements of the move were not missed.
  • Completion of delivery out of storage at the client’s convenience.

A variety of techniques used by our fine art technicians

Packing & Wrapping

Full packing service

A complete packing service was carried out of the content of the whole property over 5 days with a team of 4 technicians. This also formed part of the discussion with the client, we worked around their plans for the move dates to minimise disruption. With the multiple locations, everything was packed in a particular order with items clearly labelled and inventoried depending on their intended destination.

Specifically vulnerable items

Selective items were cherry picked throughout the property for additional care. Our experienced team made up bespoke packing boxes to protect items. Gilded frames were kept hanging in bespoke boxes to avoid pressure points causing any damage, chandeliers were also kept hanging to maintain their integrity.  All furniture was wrapped using toughened export wrap with a soft material interior to avoid marking the furniture. Sheets of card were used to provide extra padding and avoid pressure points, this is of significant importance for the items that were to be stored as they are likely to be sitting in an unnatural position whilst in storage.

Crating

As part of the pre move survey, each items was assessed to determine whether a crate was needed. measurements were taken and our crating team prepared the wooden crates in preparation prior to the move. Foam lined crates were used for items with intricate details. Crates were also used for extra large items that required storage.

• The Storage Requirements

  With a move of this size it is inevitable that storage is required to allow for flexibility. The client requested we stored their belongings for 3 months in order to allow the current occupants to move out of the property as well as manage the flow of content being delivered to their new home.

  • Controlled environment storage at ambient temperature.
  • Oversized storage area for the extra dimension items.
  • Chilled storage for extensive wine collection.
