Mirrors can be among the most difficult household items to move safely. They are fragile, often heavy and awkward to carry, particularly when they are large or set inside decorative frames. Even a small knock can crack the glass, damage the backing, or chip the edges. Careful preparation is therefore essential if you want your mirrors to arrive at your new home in one piece.
Gather the Right Packing Materials
Before removing a mirror from the wall, make sure you have all the necessary packing supplies. You will usually need strong packing tape, cardboard, bubble wrap, packing paper, corner protectors, and a suitable mirror box.
Avoid placing packing tape directly onto the glass or frame, as it may leave marks or damage the finish. Instead, use tape to secure the protective wrapping around the mirror.
For particularly large or valuable mirrors, consider using specialist picture or mirror boxes. These adjustable boxes are designed to fit around flat, fragile items and offer more protection than an ordinary cardboard box.
Protect the Glass
Start by placing masking tape across the glass in a large X shape. You can also create a grid pattern across the surface. This will not prevent the mirror from breaking, but it may help hold the glass together if damage occurs.
Next, place a sheet of cardboard over the front of the mirror. Cut the cardboard so that it covers the entire glass surface, including the edges. Add corner protectors where possible, as mirror corners are especially vulnerable to chips and cracks.
Wrap the mirror in several layers of bubble wrap, paying particular attention to any delicate parts of the frame. Secure the wrapping with tape, making sure it is firm but not so tight that it places pressure on the glass.
Ask for Help With Larger Mirrors
Large mirrors should never be carried by one person. Their weight and shape can make them difficult to balance, increasing the risk of dropping them or injuring yourself. Ask another person to help and agree on the route before lifting.
Remove obstacles, open doors and check stairways in advance. Carry the mirror upright rather than flat, as glass is generally stronger when transported vertically.
Hiring a professional man and van in Balham can be a practical option if you have heavy, oversized or expensive mirrors. Experienced movers will have suitable equipment and understand how to handle fragile items through narrow hallways, doorways and staircases.
Position Mirrors Carefully in the Van
Never place a mirror flat on the floor of a moving van or stack heavy boxes on top of it. Mirrors should be stored upright against a solid surface, ideally between soft items such as mattresses.
Use straps or ropes to prevent the mirror from sliding during the journey. Make sure that nothing with sharp edges can move into it while the vehicle is in transit.
Unpack With Care
Once you arrive, inspect the packaging before moving the mirror inside. If the box appears damaged, handle it particularly carefully.
Carry the mirror upright to its intended room and unwrap it on a clear, stable surface. Do not rush to hang it immediately. Check the glass, frame and wall fixings first. With thorough packing and careful handling, even large mirrors can be moved safely and securely.
