If you give us a call we can do most quotes over the phone for some specialist moves it may require a free site visit.

Yes you can rest assured, we are insured for £10,000. If your instrument is more valuable just ask we can insure pianos to a much higher level with a call to our underwriter as required.

The piano is placed on a specialised piano moving trolley, Wrapped with blankets and strapped securely, Then wheeled out without damaging either your piano or any flooring. We attend a lot of moves where the customer advises that the last people just dragged the piano into the house – This causes damage to both the instrument and your home, Make sure your mover has full equipment.

Yes !! We see lots of attempts to move them with legs and pedals on but this just damages your piano. We remove legs and pedals and move the piano all wrapped up on out long piano board.

We use ramps to get the piano into our van, tail lifts are not strong enough for the heavier end of piano moving & we feel ramps are much safer generally, For the big instruments we do have a custom installed winch to aid the process of getting up our ramp.

Yes we certainly do ! whether its going to be for a few days while you have decorators or carpet fitter in your house or longer term just give us a call and we can arrange collection and storage at great rates.

Yes we can, We can also blanket and shrink-wrap and move to a different room, Then relocate it when the works have been finished. This stops any dust from building works getting into your piano.

Yes we are fully licensed to dispose of unwanted pianos, We have a registration with the Environments agency – A waste transfer notice will be issued with every piano that is collected for disposal.

Unwanted pianos are usually rehomed, We work with a few music schools and charities that are teaching kids to play & if the piano is tuneable this is usually the best way forward as someone else will get use out of it. Unfortunately some pianos are beyond economical repair but they can be upcycled into items such as writing desks, jukeboxes or bars ! We do everything we can to avoid taking a great instrument to landfill.

No, we don’t tune piano’s but we can recommend a good tuner.
