Furniture properly wrapped and protected before your house move. Prevents scratches, marks, and damage during transit.
### Protect Your Furniture Before Moving
You're moving expensive furniture in the back of a van. **One bump, one sharp turn, and your sofa's got a rip or your dining table's scratched.** Proper wrapping is insurance against damage.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Many removal companies charge £100+ for furniture wrapping. Booking me separately often costs less and I take my time to do it properly.

### Why Bother Wrapping?
Because **replacing damaged furniture costs a hell of a lot more than £60**. And most removal insurance has massive excess fees anyway.

Good to Know
> 📦 **Removal company offering wrapping?** Get their quote first. Sometimes I'm cheaper, sometimes they bundle it in. Worth comparing. **Need dismantling too?** I can dismantle and wrap furniture in the same visit - more efficient than two separate bookings. **Exeter to Exeter move?** Even short moves benefit from wrapping. Furniture still gets loaded, transported, and unloaded - plenty of opportunity for damage.
Frequently Asked Questions about Furniture wrapping for moving in Ottery St Mary
Why would I need furniture wrapped?
To protect it during a house move. Sofas can get marked, wooden furniture scratched, glass tops broken. Proper wrapping prevents damage - much cheaper than replacing furniture. Most removal companies offer wrapping but charge extra, so booking me can save money.
What furniture needs wrapping?
Sofas and chairs (protects upholstery), dining tables (especially glass tops), wooden furniture that scratches easily, mirrors, anything with glass or delicate finishes. Flat-pack furniture in boxes doesn't need wrapping.
Do you provide the wrapping materials?
Yes - I bring proper furniture blankets and stretch wrap. Much better than trying to DIY it with bin bags and bubble wrap. It's all included in the price.
When should furniture be wrapped?
Day before moving is ideal, or morning of the move day before the van arrives. Means everything's protected and ready to load when the removal company turns up.
Do removal companies unwrap it at the other end?
Usually yes - they'll unwrap as they place furniture in your new house. Or I can come to your new place and unwrap if you prefer. Just let me know what you need.
