REMOVALS

There, with care, anywhere

There is no typical removal. Every client, every home and every destination is a unique story.

We instinctively understand. We know the anxiety that a significant move invokes.

From the initial conversation we have with a client to the point of waving farewell to the same client as they settle into their new home, Dracott & Fennemore is committed to enabling the entire process with a welcome avoidance of delay, loss, breakage, hitch or anything to compromise the excitement of a move.

Yes. We remember that a move, any move, is an exciting episode.

An episode which concludes, for us, with every item and object safely delivered where it should be.

Simple when you have been doing it for as long as us.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • CONTACT

    After receiving your enquiry, we will arrange a personal visit to your home to assess what needs to be moved and discuss the finer details. We offer flexible options - for example, you can choose to have all of the precious contents of your home expertly packed by our experienced team, or you may prefer to pack certain items yourself into our custom-made boxes.

  • STORE

    Should you need it, our secure storage facility is also at your disposal for interim or long-term storage.

  • ORGANISE

    Once every detail has been discussed, we will send you a quotation and, if it’s acceptable, select a moving time and date that best suits you. We will then send you a confirmation letter with the detailed itinerary of your move.

  • PACK & MOVE

    On the day of the move, our select team of committed professionals will pack (if requested), wrap, transport and unpack every item with meticulous care and attention. All the materials we use to package your belongings have been carefully selected for their highly protective qualities. Our robust two-ply boxes are made of 70% recycled materials and are treated with a moisture-resistant outer coating. Anything that need not be boxed will be securely transported in removal blankets or 6 ply paper blankets. We can even arrange for wooden crates to be hand built for particularly fragile possessions or historical works of art.

  • TRANSPORT & UNPACK

    Our vans are purpose-built to perfectly match the dimensions of our boxes and we skilfully pack them according to weight bearing requirements to prevent any movement during transportation. Upon arrival at your new home, we place everything as requested, carefully unpacking your belongings if needed, or leaving you to settle in and collecting the boxes at a later date.

  • FINALISE

    No move is complete without a final inspection, and we insist on taking the time to walk around together to ensure that you are happy with the placement of every last piece. We pride ourselves on the exceptional service we provide to our clients and remain at your disposal every step of the way.

PIANO MOVING

Piano removals is a skill which has been taught from one generation to another, from Edward’s great-grandfather through to Edward. We continue to adopt a traditional approach to wrapping, crating and moving pianos, and we use specialist piano moving equipment to ensure the piece is under as little stress as possible.

A note about fluctuations in humidity…
We advise that your piano is tuned seven days after installation. If the pitch has dropped more than two beats (A440 to A438 or A444 to A442), or if the humidity monitor readings are below 50% then your piano is drying out and moisture urgently needs to be added to the room.

“We have total admiration for the Dracott and Fennemore removals team. What stars! They were exceptionally hard working, polite, and careful … everything we hoped for.”
