How our specialist art storage works

A bespoke art storage service for every client

A bespoke art storage service for every client

Whether you are looking to store a single painting or a full collection, we always ensure that you get the same extraordinary level of fine art storage service.

We ensure that every artwork is digitally photographed and documented with a full condition report. Every piece of art is carefully stored inside a custom-built secure crate, made for that specific piece. Our professional and highly experienced specialist art storage handlers manage the full collection process during the art removals and storage, where your artwork is stored in a consistently ambient and/or temperature/humidity controlled environment.

We pride ourselves on the level of our fine art storage services and business storage for corporate needs that we deliver and the level of security we provide our clients.

Maximum security with temperature & humidity control for art storage

Maximum security with temperature & humidity control for art storage

Our 100,000 sq ft facility was purpose-built for business and commercial storage in Reading, Berkshire, to be at the forefront of the industry in regards to safety and security.

Our steel containers are the ultimate in high-security, specialist art storage. They are kept inside our purpose-built storage facility so do not suffer from changes in weather etc. They are fireproof and extremely secure as you can lock them with your art using your own padlocks. We also stack them on top of one another within our warehouses in Reading meaning that even if an intruder bypassed the security systems we have in place, they still wouldn’t be able to get up to the art storage container or inside.

We use a specialised range of temperature and humidity-controlled steel containers for fine art storage and atmospherically sensitive property that ensures your art is not only physically secure but completely safe.
