Specialist handling
Piano removals, done properly
A piano is heavy, valuable and unforgiving of a bad lift. It needs the right kit, the right technique and people who’ve done it before. That’s us.
There’s a reason a lot of removal firms quietly decline pianos. They’re awkwardly heavy, the weight sits in unhelpful places, and the case marks if you so much as look at it wrong. Move one badly and you can damage the instrument, the doorframe and the person carrying it. Move one properly and it’s simply a matter of the right equipment and a crew who understand how the thing behaves.
“A piano doesn’t forgive a rushed lift — so we never rush one.”
We move uprights, baby grands and full grands across Nottinghamshire and beyond. An upright is protected, tilted onto a piano trolley and walked carefully through the house. A grand has its lid, legs and pedals removed, is wrapped and lowered onto a padded skid board, and travels on its side — the way it’s meant to be moved. We plan the route through your home first: the doorways, the turns, the stairs, the lift into the van.
On its own or part of the move
Plenty of our piano jobs are standalone — an instrument going to a new owner, a music room, or a child heading off with the family piano. Others are part of a full house move, where the piano is simply the item that needs the most care. Either way, tell us the make and type and where it’s going, and we’ll bring what’s needed.
A note on tuning: any piano will need time to settle after a move before it’s tuned. We’ll place it where you want it so it’s ready when you are.
