Photographing Large or Unusual Items

Providing photographs of certain items helps our team better understand the size, condition and handling requirements of your belongings. This allows us to prepare a more accurate and reliable quote for your move.

Large, valuable or unusual items can sometimes require specialist packing materials, additional handling care or specific transport arrangements. Clear photographs help us assess this in advance.

Items We Recommend Photographing

Please upload photos of any items that are large, valuable, unusually shaped or may require special handling.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Pianos
  • Grandfather clocks and antique timepieces
  • Hot tubs, garden spas and similar outdoor units
  • Large artwork or wall sculptures
  • Antique, fragile or high-value furniture
  • Very large televisions (especially wall-mounted units)
  • Home gym equipment
  • Items with unusual shapes, weight or structural complexity

If you are unsure whether an item needs photographing just ask our friendly team.

 How to Take Good Quality Photos

Clear photos help us judge the size, placement and access requirements of your items. When photographing your items, please follow these simple guidelines:

  • Take photos from multiple angles
  • Capture the whole item
  • Give us context around the item – This helps us understand scale and how the item is positioned in the room or garden
  • Ensure the area is well lit

When Photos Are Especially Important

Photographs are particularly useful for:

  • Items that are very heavy or difficult to move
  • Furniture that may need dismantling before transport
  • Outdoor installations such as hot tubs or garden equipment
  • Antique, fragile or sentimental items
