Removal & relocation preparation
Chandelier removal for London moves, refurbishments and safe storage
Removing a chandelier is the reverse of an installation only in theory. In practice, the order of dismantling, the access route and the way each piece is protected decide whether the fitting can be handled again with confidence.
The removal brief
Take it down without losing the story.
We remove chandeliers for room refurbishments, property moves, ceiling work, storage, replacement and relocation planning. The work starts with understanding how the fitting is assembled and ends with an orderly handover of its parts and the ceiling position.
For delicate or complex chandeliers, we document the order of components and consider the route from ceiling to protected holding point. Crystal, hand-blown glass, Murano, antique metalwork and finished metals all need their own handling decisions.
The working sequence
Dismantle with a plan, hand over with care.
- 01
Map the fitting
We review the chandelier, its fixing, assembly, access height and the intended outcome: storage, future relocation, refurbishment or replacement.
- 02
Protect the route
We agree the path through the property and protect floors, furniture, walls and the area beneath the fitting before any component is loosened.
- 03
Reach the ceiling
PASMA qualified specialists can assemble and erect scaffold towers where needed, providing stable access for controlled dismantling.
- 04
Dismantle and record
We remove the fitting in a considered order, keeping delicate pieces together and recording what belongs where so reassembly is less uncertain.
- 05
Protect and finish
Components are prepared for the agreed handover or next stage, the ceiling area is left orderly, and we explain any fixing or repair points that need attention.
Material knowledge
Protection begins before the first piece moves.
Crystal and fine glass are separated and protected from knocks, pressure and contact with hard surfaces during dismantling.
Hand-blown and Murano glass are handled as individual, design-specific pieces rather than packed as anonymous parts.
Antique metalwork is supported and protected with attention to its patina, joints and existing condition.
Brass, chrome, nickel and gold finishes are kept clear of avoidable scratches, rub marks and uncontrolled contact during the descent.
Removal is where cheap shortcuts show up later.
Rushing a fitting down can damage the chandelier, the room or the information needed to put it back. We use safe access, a planned dismantling order and protective handling so the next decision—storage, relocation or repair—starts from a better place.
Questions, answered
Before we arrive.
Can you remove a chandelier before a room refurbishment?
Yes. We can plan the removal around the refurbishment schedule, access route and the condition of the ceiling and fitting, then agree the handover or next stage.
Do you remove tall chandeliers from stairwells?
Tall and difficult-to-reach fittings can be assessed for planned removal. PASMA qualified specialists can assemble scaffold towers where suitable access is needed.
Will you label the parts for reassembly?
We can document the dismantling order and keep related components together so future handling has a clear reference. The level of documentation is agreed with the scope.
Can removal be done without damaging the ceiling?
We protect the ceiling and surrounding room, but the final condition depends on the existing fixing and what the next works require. We explain visible fixing points and any follow-on attention.
How much does chandelier removal cost?
The quotation reflects height, access, size, material, dismantling complexity, protection and the agreed handover. Photographs and the property location help us assess the work.
A considered next step
Talk through the room and the fitting.
Tell us where the chandelier is, what it is made from, and what needs doing. We will ask the useful questions, explain access and protection, and prepare a clear quotation.
