Step-by-Step: How We Move Your Piano

Our upright and baby grand piano moves follow a streamlined process, designed to keep your instrument safe and your mind at ease:

Initial Consultation

We measure access points, check for stairs or tight turns, and plan the most efficient route.

2

Protective Preparation

Your piano is wrapped in padded blankets, the keyboard secured, and floors protected.

Specialist Handling

Using piano skids, ramps, and coordinated lifting, we navigate the space safely and efficiently.

Secure Transit & Setup

Once loaded into our vehicle, the piano is secured to prevent movement. At your destination, it’s carefully positioned as requested.

What Influences the Cost of Piano Moving?

Moving a piano isn’t just about lifting and loading—it requires skill, planning, and the right equipment. Here’s what we consider when calculating the cost of your piano move:

Type and size

The size and shape of your piano determine how it’s handled and what’s needed to move it safely

  • Upright pianos are easier to transport and generally cost less
  • Grand pianos require more care, often partial disassembly, and specialist equipment, which increases the cost.
Distance of the move
  • Local Moves: Usually charged at a flat rate or an hourly rate, depending on the complexity of the move.
  • Long-Distance Moves: The cost is typically based on mileage and may include additional fees for packing and securing the piano during transit.
Accessibility and obstacles at both locations

The complexity of moving a piano increases with obstacles like:

  • Stairs: Each flight of stairs may add to the cost due to the additional labour and equipment required.
  • Tight Corners & Narrow Doorways: Special handling or even disassembly might be needed.
  • Elevators: While sometimes helpful, they might also require permits or coordination with building management.
