Packers and Movers in HSR Sector 6

A 1 BHK is usually Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,500, a 2 BHK Rs 6,000 to Rs 10,500 and a larger house Rs 9,000 to Rs 16,000 for a local move. Old or antique pieces take extra packing time, which the survey builds into the written figure.

Soft material first, blankets or foam, so nothing rough touches the finish, then stretch wrap or board. Drawers and doors are secured, keys removed, and carved edges and legs get extra padding.

The clock is stopped, the pendulum removed, and any weights taken off. Those travel wrapped and labelled in their own box. The glass front is protected, and the case travels upright.

If it is valuable or has a delicate movement, it is worth asking whoever services it how they want it prepared. We pack and move it carefully, but the movement itself is best handled by a clock specialist.

Wood dried over decades shrinks and cracks, old glue loosens and veneer lifts. A piece that has stood in one place for thirty years has never been tested by stairs, a lift or a moving vehicle.

Yes. Old finishes mark at the lightest touch, so the piece is wrapped in soft material before anything else, and handled with clean hands. Nothing with a rough surface is packed against it.

Tell us at survey. If it has contents, it may need to travel locked and carefully. If the key exists, keep it with the family and empty the chest before the move if you can.

Moving parts are secured, tone arms and lids fixed in place, and the piece is packed in a padded carton or wrapped with board. Valves and old electronics are sensitive to knocks, so they travel where nothing will shift against them.

Yes, at their real value. Transit insurance is available on the declared value of your goods, and heirlooms are the items most often forgotten when families list what they own.

It is emptied, doors and drawers secured, and carried by enough people to lift it clear. If it does not dismantle, check the lift and doors at the new flat before the move.

Yes. Old mirror glass is often thicker and heavier than modern glass, and old frames may be brittle. They travel upright, boarded on both faces, never flat with anything on top.

Point it out at survey and photograph it. Cracks can open under the stress of a move, so the piece gets extra support and padding where it is weakest.

Each carved leg and corner gets its own padding before the whole piece is wrapped. Carving is where old pieces most often chip, because it sticks out and takes the first knock.

Usually yes, loaded upright and secured so nothing can shift against them. Very small pieces, like a clock movement or a jewellery box, may be safer in your own car.

Dust it gently, but save polishing for after the move. A freshly polished surface marks more easily under wrapping, and some old finishes react badly to modern polish.

They are heavy and dent easily. Each is wrapped individually and packed in a strong carton with padding. Our Jayanagar 3rd Block page covers brass lamps and heavy vessels in more detail.

Yes, we offer storage in Bangalore on a monthly basis, priced on volume. Old wood stores best in dry conditions, so ask about the storage environment when you book.

Measure the lift, the doors and the space where it will stand before the move. If it does not fit, storage or a relative's house may be the better choice.

The machine head is secured or removed, the treadle or motor fixed, and the cabinet wrapped. The cast iron parts are heavy, so it needs more hands than its size suggests.

Yes, and for small, precious things it is often the best choice. A clock movement, a jewellery box or an old photograph album travels well with you, padded and kept upright.

Upright, with board on both faces and padding on the corners of the frame. Our Jayamahal page covers artworks and canvases in more detail.

How old each piece is, whether anything is already loose, whether a clock has been serviced and what it is worth to you. It helps us plan material and hands for the day.

It helps. You know which drawer sticks, which hinge is loose and which part came from somewhere else. A few minutes with the crew saves guesswork.

A week to ten days is usually enough for a local move, longer at month end. Mention old pieces when you book, so the right packing material comes with the crew.

Yes. Intercity moves are priced per kilometre, roughly Rs 15 to Rs 28 depending on vehicle size and load. On a long journey antiques need extra care, because they spend hours on the road.

Yes, custom crating is available for items that need more than wrapping. For a valuable antique on a long intercity route, a crate can be worth it.

Point it out to the supervisor before the crew leaves, with photographs. Having photographed it before the move makes the conversation much simpler.

Usually it needs to be levelled and set up again before it keeps good time, and a floor standing clock may need its position adjusted on a new floor. Leave that for a day or two after the move, once the room is quiet and the piece has settled.

The books come out first, the shelves are secured and the glass doors are taped or removed and packed separately. Old glass is often thinner and less forgiving than modern glass, so it gets board on both sides.
