5 Ways We Safeguard Your Furniture During a Move
Ensuring Your Belongings Arrive Just as You Left Them
Moving house can be stressful enough without worrying about the safety of your furniture. At 1st Choice Removals, we understand how much your belongings mean to you—not just their monetary value, but the memories they hold. That is why we take extra care to protect every item, whether it is a treasured family heirloom or a sturdy dining table.
Here are five ways we ensure your furniture stays safe during the move.
1. Padded Covers for Maximum Protection

One of the simplest yet most effective tools in our arsenal is padded furniture covers. These thick, durable covers act as a barrier against scratches, scuffs, and dust during transport. From sofas to wooden cabinets, we make sure every piece is wrapped securely to protect it from potential damage.
2. Strapping Furniture Securely

A moving van can feel like a bumpy ride for your furniture if it is not properly secured. That is why we use high-quality straps to hold items in place. Strapping furniture prevents shifting during transit, reducing the risk of scratches, dents, or worse.
3. Disassembly and Reassembly

Large or awkwardly shaped furniture often benefits from being taken apart before the move. Our team is experienced in disassembling items like bed frames, wardrobes, and dining tables. Once at your new home, we reassemble everything, ensuring your furniture is back in perfect condition.
4. Custom Packing for Delicate Items

For delicate or oddly shaped furniture, we provide custom packing solutions. This could involve using reinforced cardboard, bubble wrap, or even building bespoke crates for particularly valuable pieces. Every item is packed to withstand the rigours of transport.
5. Careful Loading and Unloading

A big part of safeguarding your furniture happens outside the van. Our trained team takes the utmost care when lifting, carrying, and manoeuvring heavy items. We avoid scraping walls, corners, or floors, ensuring your furniture—and your home—remain in pristine condition.
Why Attention to Detail Matters
When it comes to moving, the devil really is in the details. Scratched wood, torn upholstery, or chipped edges can be disheartening, especially when you have trusted someone with your belongings. At 1st Choice Removals, we treat your furniture as if it were our own, combining expert techniques with a personal touch.
