Courier, man with a small van.
I have a sculpture weighing 36 kilos to collect from Hambrook (West Sussex) and take to Trull (Taunton).
What way do any of you experts recommend?

Honestly ?
If you value it move it yourself.

hire a van. if its 35kg, it doesn't sound too big, so a vauxhall astra van would do it. and you'll take more care of it than men with ven
will

sounds like you youve got it sorted but for future reference i used this website- www.shiply.co.uk to send some custom furniture i made recently.
you basically list your item you want to move, where from and where to and couriers bid to get the job! they have feedback ratings so it is a bit like
a reverse ebay.
good place to get quotes for car transportation as well as general couriering. i had basically a full long wheel base van load of furniture weighing
about 400kg taken from south yorks to london for £170 which i think is a bargain.

+1 for shiply.com
You have to be careful, i.e. make sure to have a chat with whoever submits their bid for your journey.
But I got an absolute bargain when I needed a car trailering (40 miles from coventry to cotswolds, 35 quid), and the chap was absolutely top-notch - I
will be calling him direct next time I need something moving.
Don't think I'd trust a sculpture to a man with a van given the way they drive!
