Seven things, across a patch that runs from a Georgian villa on the Thames to a Whitton semi with a driveway. Everything below is surveyed before it is priced.
Whole households, surveyed first.
Georgian and Victorian riverside stock, the terraces behind the Green, and the family houses of Whitton and Fulwell. The basement, the loft and the garden store counted rather than forgotten.
Read more →Volume and fragility together.
Georgian villas at Cross Deep, Marble Hill and the Strawberry Hill side. Bigger than the floor plan implies and more delicate than most large houses, which is why they are surveyed rather than estimated.
Read more →Procedure, not physics.
St Margarets mansion blocks with porters, goods lifts and booking sheets; villa conversions whose staircase now serves four households; and the newer purpose-built stock near the stations.
Read more →A room, a collection, one heavy thing.
Two people and a smaller vehicle, booked by the job — including dealer and auction collections, which this borough and the west-London salerooms generate a great many of.
Read more →Wrapped, inventoried, racked indoors.
Containerised rather than self-store. Borough chains run long and a good share of the older stock wants work before anyone can properly live in it.
Read more →Cases, not blankets.
Veneer and inlay, marble and glass tops, gilt, large mirrors, long-case clocks and framed work turn up constantly on this stock. Identified at survey, cased or crated, and declared so cover is confirmed in writing before you book.
France, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Route-pair framed from Twickenham, with export wrapping specified for the longer road and the customs file built from the same inventory the crew works to.
Read more →Four things move the number: how much is going, the access at both ends, how much packing you want done, and how far it travels. Not the season, not how urgent it sounds, not what somebody else quoted.
That also makes quotes comparable. If you are weighing us against another firm, check both have measured the same volume and assume the same packing depth — most of the difference between two prices lives there.
Unsure which you need? Describe it on the quote form. Questions covers what comes up next, and coverage shows where we work.
Send both addresses and a sense of what is coming. We survey — at the property or by video — then put a clear quote in writing, with what is included and what would change it.
