How We Relocated a Family from Twickenham to Lincoln — Stress-Free and On Schedule
At Central Moves, we know that moving home is more than just transporting boxes — it’s about ensuring families feel supported and confident throughout the process. Recently, we had the pleasure of helping a family of five relocate from their 5-bedroom house in Twickenham to their beautiful new 5-bedroom home in Lincoln.
This was no small task. The move involved a full house of furniture, valuable artwork, antiques, and even a grand piano. Here’s how we managed the project from the very first survey to the moment the family settled in.
The First Step: A Personal Survey
Every successful move starts with preparation. Our highly experienced surveyor visited the property to complete a detailed in-home survey. We created a full inventory (2,700 cubic feet in total), noted special handling requirements, and checked access at both homes.
The family also needed temporary storage and extra packing assistance, so we built a personalised moving plan tailored to their needs.
Packing with Care
Two days before moving day, our packing team arrived to carefully prepare the household items.
- Artwork and antiques were secured in custom crates.
- The grand piano was professionally packed.
- Furniture was wrapped and protected.
- Everything was labelled and cross-referenced with the inventory.
Items the family didn’t immediately need were placed safely in our climate-controlled storage facility.
The Big Move
On moving day, three of our fully equipped vehicles rolled up, each with its own skilled team. A pre-planned loading sequence kept everything efficient and safe.
Because of the distance, the team made an overnight stop in Lincoln to ensure unloading could be carried out smoothly the following day.
Unloading & Settling In
The next morning, our team got to work unloading, placing boxes and furniture in the right rooms, and reassembling larger items. We used protective measures to look after walls and flooring and worked alongside the family to make sure everything was exactly where they wanted it.
Once complete, our crews stayed overnight in Lincoln before returning to Twickenham — fully compliant with driving regulations and ensuring safety for all.
Post-Move Follow-Up
We don’t just leave at the door. After the move, our project manager did a full walk-through with the family, collected leftover packing materials, and followed up with a call a week later to check everything was perfect.
The feedback? The family praised our professionalism, care, and attention to detail, describing the whole experience as “stress-free.”
The Result
- Move completed on time and within budget
- Family settled happily into their new home
- No damage, no stress, and full peace of mind
