Piano moving frequently asked questions

Yes, we are. We are fully insured with In Transit and Public Liability insurance to move pianos throughout the UK and to your onward destination.

Not much. Just be sure to declutter the area surrounding the piano as well as the pathways to all entrances and exits so we can safely move your piano. If there are items on your piano, please move these prior to our arrival and if there is a piano stool accompanying the piano, please take out any sheet music and other items if there is storage here.

Not always. We’re flexible in that regard and we’re always willing to work with our customers, but we do prefer that you be on the premises. We like to have the piano owner present just so you can have peace of mind knowing that your piano is in good hands with us.

We’ll ask you for a full list of information required after you get in contact. If we need anything else, we’ll be in touch once we’ve heard from you.

That depends upon the type of piano. Here are the average weights for each type of piano:

Piano type	Weight (metric)	Weight (imperial)
Cottage/Yacht Piano	115kg – 160kg	250lb – 350lb
Upright ¾ Sized Piano	135kg – 270kg	300lb – 600lb
Upright Piano	135kg – 400kg	300lb – 900lb
Pianola	270kg – 400kg	600lb – 900lb
Baby Grand Piano	360kg – 540kg	800lb – 1,200lb

Typically, local moves can be performed within a few days – provided it’s a quick, easy move and not one that requires step or stair work. If you have a piano to move from one town to another town or adjacent county, we try to accommodate your move within two weeks sooner – this gives us the ability to move multiple pianos at once and subsequently offer a lower price to you.

No, we regularly make trips up and down the UK depending on your requirements. We try to time the moves so we can move multiple pianos at a time and keep your moving cost down. However, we’re always willing to work to fulfil your moving needs if they fall outside of our route on the day.

No, we do not do this. We always use our fully trained and experienced piano movers. You can’t become a piano mover overnight; it takes many years to be proficient. We understand the importance of experience and training keeping you and your piano safe throughout.
