Piano
Removals

We specialise in moving pianos, whether it is an upright piano, a grand piano or anything in between. We have the specialist equipment needed and a specially trained team to carry it out.

Do you have a piano you need to move? We understand that moving a piano can be a daunting process for the owner as it is often an extremely cared for possession. We want to put your mind at ease and move your piano with the upmost protection. We have a specially trained team who have expert knowledge and experience in moving all types of pianos and we have all of the specialist equipment needed in order to move all types of pianos securely and safely. We pride ourselves on attention to detail and an in-depth knowledge on how to properly move a piano. We use breathable materials for protection, specially designed piano wheels for safe moving and piano shoes and secure straps for grand pianos. It is essential to have the appropriate equipment, training and knowledge before attempting a piano removal.

Pre-move consultation

It is important for us to gather all of the relevant information, so we can be fully prepared in safely removing your piano. We understand that each move is extremely individual with different requirements, some may require an outside elevator depending on floors and steps. A stair lift may be required as well as extra man power. From the information you provide we will be able to personalise the service you require enabling us to come fully prepared with all of the correct specialist equipment and a knowledgeable fully trained team to safely move your piano.

Packing and preparing

It is essential that all removable parts of the piano are dismantled and securely packaged prior to moving the piano. We have an extensive range of piano covers to protect when moving. For example, it is essential black lacquer pianos are always fully covered as they are easily marked. We use high quality materials to protect and prevent this from happening including piano covers, furniture blankets and specialist wrapping which has been specifically designed to wrap pianos.

Safe moving

In order to move pianos safely, you need a specially trained team and specialist equipment. A minimum of two men are needed for an upright piano when it is moved from ground floor to ground floor location and additional men required if floors are involved. A minimum of three men are required to move a grand piano and again additional men needed if there are floors. We use piano wheels which have been specifically designed to keep the piano stable and secure. A grand piano must be moved on its side with its legs removed. It will also be placed on a piano shoe and securely strapped before placing on piano wheels. We have specially designed vehicles with ramps and tail lifts, padded railing and rails to secure on travel, they all have air ride suspension to reduce impact for travel. All of our piano removals staff have years of experience and are all highly trained.

Storage

We have secure storage facilities with a designated area of our warehouse for specialist items such as pianos. We cater for short-term storage or long term within our secure and climate-controlled facilities which are alarm and CCTV monitored. We use breathable packaging materials in order to protect your piano in storage. If storage is required please discuss this during your pre-move consultation.

Mr Foulkes

"A thoroughly positive experience. Removal team were very polite and helpful all day, a very cheerful, professional crew, when we arrived at new house they were already to unload. They worked very hard and hardly stopped all day. There was no damage to property or items, the crew are very keen to position furniture exactly where we wanted it. A really good day."
