Why Choose Us

Piano moving requires specialist skill

A piano can weigh anywhere from 150kg to over 600kg. Moving one incorrectly risks permanent damage to the instrument and serious injury. Our team does it right, every time.

🏋
Specialist equipment

Piano boards, skid boards, heavy-duty straps, and lifting gear designed specifically for piano transport — not improvised from standard removal kit.

🛡
Fully insured

Every piano is covered by goods-in-transit insurance. Your instrument is fully protected from the moment we touch it to the moment it is placed in its new home.

🥦
Trained professionals

Our team is trained in proper piano handling — from upright spinets to full concert grands. We've done this hundreds of times and it shows.

🪟
Stairs & tight spaces

Narrow staircases, tight corners, and difficult access points are not a problem. We assess every route in advance and bring the right equipment for every challenge.

🌡
Climate-safe transport

We transport pianos in enclosed vehicles to protect against temperature changes and moisture — both of which can cause long-term damage to the instrument.

💷
Fixed pricing

Clear, honest quotes based on piano type, access, and distance. No hidden fees, no last-minute additions — what you're quoted is what you pay.

⚠️
Never attempt to move a piano without specialists

Pianos are among the most challenging items to move safely. Improper technique can permanently damage the instrument's soundboard, strings, hammers, and internal mechanisms — and cause serious injury to everyone involved. Our trained team uses proper specialist equipment and proven methods developed over hundreds of piano moves to keep your piano, and everyone around it, completely safe.

How It Works

Your piano move — 5 careful steps

From your first call to final placement — here's exactly how we approach every piano move.

1
Tell us about your piano

Share the piano type, size, current location, destination, and any access details — stairs, narrow hallways, upper floors. The more we know, the better we can prepare.

💡 Photos of the piano and access routes help us plan the safest approach
2
Receive a fixed quote

We provide a clear, all-inclusive price based on the piano type, distance, and access complexity. No hidden extras, no surprise charges when we arrive.

3
Pre-move preparation

For grand pianos, we carefully remove and individually wrap the legs and pedal lyre before moving. All keys, the fallboard, and external surfaces are padded with specialist materials.

4
Safe transport

Your piano is loaded into an enclosed, climate-controlled vehicle using proper boards and strapping equipment. It is secured firmly for the journey — however short or long the distance.

💡 Wait 24–48 hours after delivery before tuning — the piano needs time to adjust to its new environment
5
Careful placement

We position your piano exactly where you want it, reassemble any removed parts, and ensure it is level and stable before we leave. Nothing is rushed at this stage.

Customer Reviews

What customers say about our piano moves

Real reviews from real customers who trusted us with their most valuable instrument.

"They moved my baby grand down a narrow staircase and into a new house without a single scratch. I was watching nervously the entire time — but they were completely calm and professional throughout."

David J. Islington
Baby grand · Narrow staircase

"My upright had to go up two flights in a Victorian flat with no lift. They handled it perfectly. Arrived on time, fixed price, and were incredibly careful with the walls and the piano itself."

FAQ

Piano transport — common questions

Everything you need to know before booking your piano move.

How much does it cost to move a piano in London?
Piano removal costs depend on the type, size, distance, and access complexity. Upright pianos typically start from £120. Baby grands from £180. Grand pianos from £220. Concert grands are priced individually. All prices are fixed and all-inclusive.
Do I need to get my piano tuned after moving?
Yes — we recommend waiting 2–4 weeks after your piano move before tuning. This allows the instrument to fully acclimatise to the humidity and temperature of its new environment. Tuning immediately after can cause the piano to go out of tune again quickly.
Can you move a grand piano up or down stairs?
Yes. Our team has specialist equipment and training for moving grand pianos on all types of staircase. We remove the legs and pedal lyre first, use piano boards for stair navigation, and assess every route in advance.
Is my piano insured during the move?
Yes — every piano move includes goods-in-transit insurance. Your instrument is fully protected from the moment we begin to the moment it is placed and stable in its new location. Enhanced cover is available for particularly high-value instruments.
How much notice do I need to give?
We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance for upright pianos and 2–4 weeks for grand and concert grands. We also accept shorter notice when our schedule allows — contact us and we'll do our best.
Do you move pianos long distance?
Yes — we transport pianos anywhere across the UK. Whether it's across town or from London to Edinburgh, your piano travels in a fully enclosed, climate-controlled vehicle at a fixed, all-inclusive price.
