Preparing Your Furniture for Transport in Reading, Berkshire, UK


Now that you've booked your furniture collection and delivery service, the transporter will give you a courtesy call to let you know when they expect to be at the collection point. Ahead of this, check with your transport provider if they'll be supplying blankets, bubble wrap, or similar to protect your furniture during transit. If they're not, we would advise you package and protect the furniture as best you can yourself ahead of collection.
