Our staff are trained in safe object handling and can help safely move, pack and store your collection. Whether you are moving home, packing items for long-term storage, or just re-assembling your house, we can help to move and secure your collection.
Different items require different storage solutions. Many items are vulnerable and need bespoke packing to ensure their long-term care and often the wrong packing can cause further damage. For example, when bubble wrap (although a useful packing tool) is wrapped directly onto the surface of an object, the bubbles can leave an impression on sensitive surfaces.
Whether an object is on display or stored away, our museum-trained staff will identify existing and potential risks and offer viable solutions for protection.
We also provide museum-quality storage solutions, such as archive boxes and dust covers, which will safeguard your objects for many years to come. We have links with various companies and can recommend equipment and storage solutions to fit your needs, be it shelving, environmental monitoring, packing materials, etc. that we have used in the past.
