Leaderr approved Furniture Wrapping Services - two movers carrying a wooden dining table to a removal truck with wrapped furniture inside

Furniture Wrapping Services protect furniture from scratches, dents, dust and moisture during transport or storage. Most removal companies blanket-wrap furniture as standard, with extra wrapping for upholstery, polished wood, glass and items going into storage.

  • Say whether items are moving or going into storage.
  • Mention upholstered, leather, glass and high-gloss pieces.
  • Say how long items will be stored.

Protective Materials

MaterialUsed for
Removal blanketsWooden furniture, appliances and anything with a finish to protect in transit
Stretch wrapHolding blankets in place, keeping drawers shut and keeping dust off upholstery
Bubble wrapGlass tops, mirrors, legs and delicate parts
Corner and edge protectorsTable corners, frames and cabinets
Mattress and couch coversKeeping upholstery clean and dry
Cardboard and cratesGlass panels, art and mirrors

Stretch wrap directly on leather or fresh finishes can trap moisture. For storage, ask the company to wrap in blankets or breathable covers first.

Transport or Storage

  • Transport. Blankets are often reused and removed at delivery.
  • Storage. Wrapping stays on, so it should be clean, breathable and secured for the storage period.

How It Works

  1. List. You list items and finishes.
  2. Quote. Wrapping is included or charged per item or materials used.
  3. Wrap. Items are wrapped before loading.
  4. Unwrap. Wrapping is removed at delivery, or left on for storage.

Furniture Wrapping Services FAQs

Is furniture wrapped as standard?

Most removal companies blanket-wrap furniture. Extra stretch wrap, bubble wrap and crating may be charged.

Can I wrap furniture myself?

Yes, but blankets and correct taping matter. Never tape directly onto polished wood.

Is stretch wrap bad for furniture?

Not for short transport over blankets. For long storage, breathable wrapping is better.

Do I keep the blankets?

Usually not. Removal blankets go back with the crew.

What about glass tabletops?

They should be removed, wrapped and carried upright in a padded carton or crate.
