Everything the work needs, from the crate to the wall
Six services, taken singly or as one continuous project. Most rooms need three or four.
Placement consulting
Where it goes, and why. We walk the rooms with the work in hand and read the architecture first: proportion, sightlines, the height a piece wants to sit at, and how two things on the same wall sit together.
Daylight and lamp position are part of it, and so is how the room is used. A wall that takes hard afternoon sun, or a piece that falls into shadow once the lamps are on, changes what should hang there.
Handling, transport & uncrating
Collection from the gallery, the fair, the framer or storage, and delivery in our own padded vehicle.
On site we uncrate in a protected area, inspect and photograph condition before anything moves, and carry the packing away with us the same day. If the walls are not ready, tell us and we will arrange the safest place for the work to wait.
Custom mounting
French cleats, security hardware, museum rails and heavy-duty anchors, selected against the weight, size and frame of the work and the wall it is going into.
Plaster, lath, stone, tile, board-formed concrete and millwork each take hardware differently. We check what is behind the surface before we drill.
Deinstall & reinstall
For a move, a renovation, a paint job or a loan. Work comes down, is wrapped and inventoried, and goes back up — either exactly where it was or somewhere better, in a house that has since changed shape.
Walls are patched where hardware came out. Collections that travel between two or three homes get a record we keep, so the next move starts from a plan rather than a photograph.
Mirrors, decor & final placement
Heavy mirrors, sculpture on plinths, shelf objects, wall lights and the hundred small things that decide whether a finished room looks finished.
This is usually the last day on site. Everything is levelled, cleaned, and adjusted with the lamps on, and we leave once you have seen it that way.
Designers & galleries
Site coordination with your GC and trades, blocking specified before the walls close, art held until the paint is cured, and installation scheduled around the punch list rather than through it.
For galleries: client delivery that needs a specialist, approvals photographed on the wall, and a crew your buyer will be glad you sent.
