Fine art & antiques · Dedicated UK transport

Fine art and antiques courier.

Protected artwork and delicate objects, with the handling scope agreed first.

An artwork or antique may need a direct journey and a careful receiving plan. RGP Trans assesses fine art and antiques courier movements for suitable packaged items, with the vehicle, access and handling confirmed before acceptance. Describe the work, its packaging and declared value, rather than relying on a photograph alone.

THE GOODS, IN PRACTICE

What needs moving?

Typical examples to help describe your enquiry. Acceptance and handling are confirmed for the actual load.

Framed artwork

Protect corners and glazing and declare the packed size.

Antique furniture

Describe delicate joints, surfaces and lifting access.

Crated objects

State crate weight and the equipment available for handling.

THE CONSIGNMENT

Prepare the item for the journey

Give packed dimensions and weight, explain fragile surfaces and state whether the item must remain upright. The sender should provide suitable protective packaging or a crate where needed. Discuss the applicable cover before booking, especially for high-value work. Specialist conservation packing or climate-controlled transport must not be assumed.

THE RECEIVING PLAN

Agree the carry and receiving space

A gallery entrance handover differs from carrying a large frame upstairs or positioning an object in a room. Explain doors, lifts, stairs and the distance from parking. If two people or additional equipment are needed, have the scope confirmed. Provide the person authorised to release and receive the item.

FROM ENQUIRY TO HANDOVER

A delivery plan that fits the job.

Start with the goods-ready time and the latest useful arrival. We assess the route, vehicle and agreed handling together, then confirm availability and the quote. A one-off delivery does not require an account.

Keep the collection and receiving contacts reachable. Live tracking and electronic proof of delivery help your team follow the movement and record the handover. If the load or access changes, tell us before dispatch so the plan can be checked.

Before you book

What do you need to quote this delivery?

Send the collection and delivery postcodes, packed dimensions, total weight, quantity and timing. Include the contacts and access instructions at both addresses. For fine art & antiques, explain the specific handling requirements described above so we can assess the actual movement.

Can I pay by card?

Yes, RGP Trans accepts card payments. Ask the team for payment instructions when confirming the agreed quote. Your booking details and payment arrangements are confirmed with the team.

Is a same day collection guaranteed?

We aim to arrange collection within 60 minutes where possible, subject to location and a suitable vehicle being available. The team confirms the collection and delivery plan for your individual booking before dispatch.
