Why fragile items need a different approach

Value That Isn’t Always About Size

A painting, an antique cabinet or a family heirloom rarely has a straightforward replacement. Damage in transit isn’t just a repair cost — it’s often something you can’t get back.

KejaMove treats these pieces as a flagged, planned part of your move. That means the right packing materials, the right number of hands, and custom crating where a piece genuinely needs a rigid case rather than padding alone.

  • Framed art, mirrors and glass-fronted pieces
  • Antique furniture and cabinetry
  • Sculpture, ceramics and fragile collectibles
  • Custom crating where the piece requires it
  • Covered by KejaMove’s standard moving insurance

Every piece is different

What We Move

Tell us what you have so we can plan the right materials and handling in advance.

Paintings & Framed Art

Padded and corner-protected, with glass-fronted pieces given extra care against pressure and impact.

Antique Furniture

Cabinets, tables and chairs handled with attention to loose joints, veneer and aged finishes.

Sculpture & Ceramics

Custom crating for pieces that can’t simply be wrapped and stacked.

Long-Distance & Intercounty Moves

Fragile pieces travelling beyond Nairobi get the same padded, planned handling for the full route.

How Fine Art & Antique Moving Works

Tell Us What You Have

Photos and rough dimensions of the pieces that need special handling.

02

We Plan the Materials

Padding, corner protection or custom crating are decided before move day, piece by piece.

03

Careful Wrapping

Each piece is wrapped and protected using the materials agreed for it.

04

Secure Transit

Fragile items are positioned and secured separately from bulk household loading.

05

Careful Placement

Pieces are unwrapped and positioned exactly where you want them in the new space.

Scope before price

What Determines the Cost?

Fine art and antique moving is priced around the pieces and the care they need, not a flat rate.

  • Number and type of piecesPaintings, furniture, ceramics and sculpture each need different materials and time.
  • Custom cratingSome pieces need a rigid crate built to size rather than padding alone.
  • Access at both endsStairs, lifts and doorway widths affect how a piece is moved.
  • DistanceA local Nairobi move and an intercounty move are scoped differently.

Fine art & antique moving questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can KejaMove handle fragile antiques and artwork?

Yes. Fragile antiques, artwork and other delicate items are handled by trained crews using padded blankets, straps and custom crating where needed. Flag these when requesting your quotation so we plan for them.

Do you build custom crates?

Yes, where a piece needs a rigid case rather than padding alone — typically for sculpture, ceramics or awkwardly shaped antiques.

Is my artwork or antique insured during the move?

Yes. Fine art and antique moves are covered by KejaMove’s standard moving insurance, the same as the rest of your relocation.

Can you move a single piece, not a full house move?

Yes. We can move individual valuable or fragile pieces on their own, or as part of a larger home or office move.

Do you move fragile pieces outside Nairobi?

Yes. Pieces travelling on long-distance and intercounty routes get the same padded, planned handling for the full journey.

What should I do to prepare a fragile piece before moving day?

Send photos and rough dimensions in advance. For anything especially delicate or valuable, mention it when requesting your quote so we can plan materials ahead of time.
