Any pianist , professional or not, will tell you how prized their piano is. So, when you need to move a piano, you don’t want just anybody doing the job. Whether it's finding the right angle to get a piano through the door, or safely loading it into a van and unloading it into your home, moving a piano is a job for the specialists.
Our expert piano movers will bring all the right equipment and take care of the heavy lifting (literally!) so you can take a deep breath. But we know how nerve-wracking moving a piano can be for a novice so we have a team of friendly experts on hand to talk you through every step.

How much do piano movers cost?
Piano moving costs depend on a few things. Firstly, what type of piano are you moving? A grand piano, or even a baby grand, is bigger than an upright so costs more to move. The distance between the pick-up and drop-off location is another factor (understandably). And then we also take into account things like moving a piano up five flights of stairs – not fun, but not impossible. Get a price in seconds for your bespoke quote.
Can you move a piano without specialist movers?
Yes, you can, but it’s not recommended as pianos are delicate instruments. Ask yourself how important your piano is to you. You may save money by doing it yourself but it’s much more risky - both to you and your piano! Regular movers or man and van teams may be willing to move a piano but they may not have the necessary expertise or equipment to ensure a smooth move. Our professional piano movers are experts in piano transportation so they know how to avoid damage when collecting, loading, transporting, unloading and delivering the piano exactly where you want it.
How to prepare a piano for moving ?
It’s super important that you protect your piano properly. You could wrap the piano in moving blankets, secure the legs, and remove and wrap the lid separately in protective materials. You should also ensure that all parts are well-padded to prevent damage and use straps to secure the piano during transport, keeping it upright and stable. This is key!
Our friendly teams have plenty of practice, moving pianos every day, so if you choose to use us, they will help prepare your piano for a safe move.
How should I transport my piano?
If you’re transporting your piano without the help of a professional then it may be worth roping in a strong friend, or two! The easiest, most stress-free way to transport a piano is to use professional piano movers. They move pianos daily and, no surprise, are very good at it!
