What white-glove actually means
White-glove isn't a standard move with a higher price on it. It's a different way of working, built around the pieces that would genuinely hurt to lose — the art, the antiques, the collection, the things that can't simply be replaced. The volume of the home matters less than the value and fragility inside it.
In practice that means a survey before anything is quoted, a written condition inventory with photographs, materials chosen per item rather than off a standard trolley, and a pace set by care rather than by a truck schedule. A dedicated move manager plans it, briefs the crew, and stays with the move from the first box to the last frame hung on the wall.
It suits villas and penthouses, private collectors, relocating executives, and any home where the contents are worth protecting properly. If that's your move, everything below is included in the quoted figure — not added afterwards.

How a white-glove move runs
Careful, planned and documented from survey to final placement.
Survey & condition inventory
We view the home, list the high-value pieces and photograph their condition before a figure is fixed.
Custom pack & crate
Materials chosen per item; crates and travel frames built to size for art, glass and antiques.
Protected transport
Pieces braced and secured in the vehicle, high-value items kept together and monitored.
Placement & build
Furniture placed, beds and wardrobes rebuilt, art and mirrors hung where you point.
Unpack & white-glove finish
Everything unpacked, positioned and checked against the inventory; waste taken away.

White-glove moving questions
What people ask before booking a white-glove pack and move.
What makes a move ‘white-glove’ rather than standard?
A standard move is priced on volume and access and done by a general crew. White-glove is built around your most valuable and fragile pieces. You get a dedicated move manager, a hand-picked crew, custom crating and museum-grade materials, an itemised condition inventory, and a slower, more careful pace. Nothing is rushed to hit a truck slot.
Do you crate art, antiques and mirrors?
Yes. Paintings, large mirrors and glass get corner blocks, acid-free wrap and a rigid custom crate or travel frame built to size. Antiques and sculpture are cushioned and braced so nothing shifts in transit. We photograph each piece before and after so its condition is on record.
Can you handle chandeliers, pianos and other specialist items?
Yes. Chandeliers are taken down, the arms and crystals wrapped and boxed individually, and rehung at the new home. Pianos, safes and oversized art are handled by crew experienced with them, with the right equipment on site. Tell us what you have and the plan is built around it.
Is a white-glove move discreet, and is it insured?
Yes to both. The crew is uniformed, vetted and briefed to work quietly and privately — common for penthouses, villas and public figures. Your belongings are covered, and for high-value pieces we can arrange extended cover; give us the declared values and we'll include it on the quotation.
I only need one valuable item moved — a painting or a statue. Will you do that?
Yes. A single high-value item gets the same white-glove treatment — custom packing, protected transport and careful placement — without you booking a full home move. Send a photo and the two addresses for a fixed price.
How is white-glove priced?
On the pieces and the care involved rather than a simple room count, so it costs more than a standard move — but the price is fixed in writing before anything is touched, after a survey or a detailed set of photos. No hourly rate that grows through the day, and no surprises when the crew arrives.
