Ryan was phenomenal. I had a really tricky room to paint that wasn’t in great shape - peeling lining paper, cracks and generally quite tired. Ryan performed a miracle on this space and gave it an amazing refresh. He did a beautiful and detailed job of the ceiling, walls and woodwork. He’s a real perfectionist. I heartily recommend Ryan. He’s brilliant!

Top Art Removals related questions
Shipping artwork in the UK typically costs £50 to £300, depending on the size, fragility, and distance. Smaller framed pieces sent locally sit at the lower end, while larger or delicate works needing a Tasker for packing or long-distance transport can exceed £300.
Most artworks imported into the UK are subject to 5% VAT, which is lower than the standard rate. Whether additional duties apply depends on the type of art and where it’s coming from.
For example, original works such as paintings, drawings, and sculptures often fall under reduced VAT categories. It’s best to check HMRC guidance if you’re unsure, especially when dealing with valuable or antique pieces.
In the UK, a reasonable budget for art removals typically ranges from £80 to £300 for local moves involving a few pieces. Costs can rise if you need specialist packing, custom crating, long-distance transport, or help moving oversized or fragile items at short notice. Galleries and private collectors often budget higher to account for premium materials or multiple Taskers.
A professional art courier service is a specialist mover trained in handling, packing, and transporting artwork. Their crew uses protective materials, secure transport methods, and careful handling techniques to ensure paintings, prints, and sculptures arrive safely. For galleries, collectors, and artists, an art courier business offers peace of mind when relocating high-value or delicate pieces.
Be cautious of removal firms who can’t explain their packing methods, avoid giving clear quotes, turn up without proper vehicles and equipment, or lack genuine reviews. The process of art removals requires patience and hard work, so anyone rushing the job or mishandling your pieces is a sign to look elsewhere. Reliable removal companies should communicate clearly, bring suitable packing materials, and demonstrate expertise in handling fragile items.

What do art removals services include?
Fine art removals booked through Airtasker typically cover everything you need to move valuable or fragile pieces with confidence. From expert packing to careful transport and safe placement at the exhibition, Taskers can ensure that your artwork is handled with the attention it deserves.
If you’re organising a home move, moving items to storage facilities, or managing gallery logistics, you’ll find art removals experts who understand the nuances of transporting fine art.
Here’s what’s typically included in an art removals service:
Packing and protective wrapping for artwork
Professional art removals experts know that proper packing is half the job of art logistics solutions. If needed, you can ask your Taskers to provide packing and protective wrapping on top of your art moving service.Â
This may include wrapping canvases, framed pieces, sculptures, and mixed-media artworks using acid-free materials, glassine, foam corner protectors, bubble wrap, and other museum-grade supplies with careful detail and quality.
For fragile or high-value items, expert art handlers may reinforce artwork with cardboard sleeves or crate-ready padding. These prevent scratches, vibration damage, and moisture exposure during fine art transportation.
Custom art crating and specialised art packaging
For oversized or unusually shaped pieces, you can book Taskers who offer custom crating and white glove delivery for your unique needs. They can build on-the-spot wooden crates, reinforced boxes, or fitted foam housing to keep artwork stable during transit.
This expertise is particularly helpful for sculptures, antiques, installation art, or pieces that require extra structural support or storage for secure transportation. Many private art collectors request custom crating from art handlers when transporting pieces across long distances or shipping items interstate.
Safe artwork loading, transportation, and unloading
Airtasker connects you with artwork removals experts who know how to safely load and secure pieces using straps, blankets, anchors, and no-shift positioning. For both local art transport in major cities and interstate removals through regional areas, Taskers can help ensure your items stay protected from bumps, drops, and sudden shifts. They’ll also handle careful unloading, placement, or temporary staging at your destination, which is useful for gallery setups or studio rearrangements.
Artwork installation and setup assistance
If you need help setting up your artwork after the move, you can request installation support when posting your task. Some Taskers may assist with hanging framed pieces, mounting sculptures, or positioning large artworks for display. They may bring levelers, anchors, hooks, and other hardware.Â
If you need help preparing a space before an exhibit or want assistance placing artwork in your home, you can also find Taskers who can help with the finishing touches.
Handling oversized or delicate art pieces
Fine art removals experts on Airtasker can help relocate extra-large canvases, glass artworks, mixed-media pieces, stone sculptures, or fragile vintage items. They can also collaborate with additional Taskers for heavy lifting, coordinate tight hallway navigation, or provide padding and protective barriers for challenging spaces.
If you’re moving other special items like professional pianos, pool tables, or antiques, you can also get help through Airtasker.

Mall van transport for artwork (Wimbledon ↔ Battersea, 5–7 May)
£50
Wimbledon, Greater London, SW19
2nd May 2026
Hi, I’m an artist based in Wimbledon, and I have an exhibition opening in Battersea on 5 May. I’m looking for a small van for the transport of several artworks (the largest piece is around 1.2m in length). I’m self-funding the exhibition, so unfortunately, I don’t have a large budget and would really appreciate a reasonable price. The plan would be: 5 May, around 8:30 am: transport from Wimbledon to Battersea 7 May, around 8 pm: return from Battersea to Wimbledon Ideally, help with loading would be great, but if this increases the cost too much, I’m happy to handle it myself. I would be very grateful for any responses.
