Your mother&#8217;s dinner service, the mirror above the fireplace, the television, the display cabinet full of glassware. We pack those pieces separately with professional protective materials, mark them as fragile, and load them so nothing can come up against them en route.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-btns\">\n<a class=\"pmc-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/offer.professionalmovingcompany.nl\/calculate-volume\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get a free quote<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"pmc-btn ghost\" href=\"tel:+31618225041\">Call +31 618225041<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Breakage happens during packing, not on the road<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pmc-lead\">Almost all damage to fragile items comes from too little padding, boxes that are too big and empty space inside the box \u2014 not from the journey itself. A box that can&#8217;t shift and can&#8217;t rattle arrives intact.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the core of how we work. Glasses are wrapped individually and stood upright, not stacked flat. Boxes are filled until nothing moves. Heavy things go in small boxes, light things in large ones \u2014 the other way round and the bottom tears. And every box with fragile contents gets a clear <strong>fragile marking<\/strong>, so everyone who touches it knows what&#8217;s inside and where it belongs in the van.<\/p>\n<h2>What we work with<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pmc-cards\">\n<div class=\"pmc-card\">\n<h3>Moving blankets<\/h3>\n<p>The basis for anything large and vulnerable: mirrors, table tops, cabinets and screens. They absorb knocks and prevent scuffing against other items.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pmc-card\">\n<h3>Bubble wrap<\/h3>\n<p>For fragile shapes that flat protection won&#8217;t suit \u2014 vases, figurines, lamps and anything with protruding parts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pmc-card\">\n<h3>Packing paper<\/h3>\n<p>Glasses, plates and cups are wrapped individually, with paper between the layers as padding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pmc-card\">\n<h3>Stretch film<\/h3>\n<p>Holds blankets in place, protects against moisture and dirt, and keeps loose components together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pmc-card\">\n<h3>Sturdy moving boxes<\/h3>\n<p>In several sizes, because the right box size is half the work. Small boxes for heavy and fragile, large ones for light bulk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pmc-card\">\n<h3>Fragile labels<\/h3>\n<p>Every box with vulnerable contents is marked and loaded separately \u2014 on top, never underneath, and never loose in the van.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What we treat as fragile<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"pmc-list\">\n<li>Glassware, crockery and porcelain<\/li>\n<li>Mirrors, glass shelves and picture frames<\/li>\n<li>Televisions, monitors and audio equipment<\/li>\n<li>Lamps, chandeliers and floor lamps<\/li>\n<li>Display cabinets and glass table tops<\/li>\n<li>Vases, figurines and decorative objects<\/li>\n<li>Marble and natural stone tops<\/li>\n<li>Wine collections and bottles<\/li>\n<li>Computers and equipment with delicate components<\/li>\n<li>Heirlooms and items with sentimental value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If it&#8217;s artworks, antique furniture or a longcase clock, see <a href=\"https:\/\/professionalmovingcompany.nl\/en\/professional-moving-service-for-artworks-and-antiques\/\">moving artworks and antiques<\/a> \u2014 those get an even more specialist approach. For a piano or grand piano, see <a href=\"https:\/\/professionalmovingcompany.nl\/en\/services\/piano-moving\/\">piano moving<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How we handle it<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"pmc-steps\">\n<li><strong>We ask what&#8217;s fragile.<\/strong> When quoting we go through which items need extra care \u2014 even if there are only a few. That way time and materials get planned for it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrapping on site.<\/strong> We bring boxes, paper, film and blankets and wrap at your home, so there&#8217;s no gap between wrapping and loading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Labelling and marking.<\/strong> Room, contents and a fragile marking on every box, so nothing gets put down or stacked wrongly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loading with judgement.<\/strong> Fragile boxes on top and wedged in, large pieces upright and secured against the wall. Nothing can shift or tip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unpacking and checking.<\/strong> In your new home we put everything in the right room and go through it with you to confirm it arrived intact.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"pmc-tip\"><strong>Packing yourself?<\/strong> Always fill boxes completely \u2014 the empty space is the problem, not the weight. And stand plates on their edge rather than flat on top of each other: upright, they break far less often.<\/div>\n<h2>Safe transport<\/h2>\n<p>Careful wrapping counts for little if things go wrong in the van. Our movers load in a fixed order: heavy, stable items at the bottom and against the wall, fragile boxes on top, and everything strapped down so nothing can move while driving. Empty space in the load area is filled with blankets.<\/p>\n<p>Your household goods are insured during the move up to <strong>\u20ac200,000 per claim<\/strong>. If there&#8217;s something of substantial value, discuss it in advance and we&#8217;ll record it beforehand. Full terms are at <a href=\"https:\/\/professionalmovingcompany.nl\/en\/our-terms\/\">our terms<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What does it cost?<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no separate rate for fragile items. The cost follows from the time the packing takes and the materials needed. A display cabinet full of glassware takes more packing time than a cupboard of bed linen \u2014 that&#8217;s the whole difference.<\/p>\n<p>Boxes are charged according to use and packing materials start from \u20ac50, so you don&#8217;t pay for what you didn&#8217;t need.
