Couldn’t have asked for better

Help me move home (clothes, boxed, 3 monitors, large artwork)

£80

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!

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. 

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. 

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.

Purchase artwork and post

Finsbury, Greater London, WC1X

10th Jan 2026

**Repost as original tasker not able to compIete** I would like to task someone to go to an Art Store (46 Amwell St, London EC1R 1XS, United Kingdom) and purchase the artwork. Then I would like someone to package and post to Australia. It’s a small paper artwork (roughly A4, but would need cardboard to protect it in the post). Needs to be purchased today, but can be to be posted mid week anytime. The £80 is only for your time. This payment does not include payment for the art and postage, I will provide you extra payment for those. I am able to provide those funds via PayPal or another platform of your preference. As Airtasker funds take time to clear, you will need approximately £70 to purchase the artwork. The Google maps opening hours are incorrect. He is open for a sale today. Thanks ☺️

Best Airtasker on the platform! Darren’s communication and problem solving skills throughout my obscure task was outstanding. Thanks so much ☺️
