Piano Move

Piano moves require an exclusive skill set that takes years of experience and knowledge to develop. Possessing a vehicle with a tailgate is one aspect; knowing how to safely move a piano in and out of a property is another. Encountering difficult access scenarios, such as tight turns, corners, and steps or staircases, takes piano moving to another level of complexity.

Warning

Do not attempt to move a piano yourself simply to save a few coins. The process is much more involved than it appears. In doing so, you may injure yourself and even damage your property, ultimately resulting in significant out-of-pocket expenses for repairs or medical treatment.

Why Hire a Professional?

Any House Removalist could move a piano with no steps or stairs, but the catch is they are not trained to deal with difficult access. If the piano is a family sentimental piece, it's better to be safe than sorry and hire a certified piano mover.

All prices are fixed and include up to 1-2 Stair/Steps at both ends ONLY. If more Stair/Steps are involved, the price will be adjusted accordingly.

Special Conditions

We can move pianos up and down staircases if they are straight, with big wide landing spaces and no tight corners or curved steps. For open-air big balconies, we can also crane the piano onto them if the stairs are too difficult (additional fees apply).

Consider leaving the piano on ground level to facilitate future moves, as most buyers are deterred by the prospect of moving a piano up or down stairs.

Conclusion

Moving a piano is a costly and complex job that requires significant skill, expertise, and equipment. We use industrial-built piano moving equipment and carry state-of-the-art hi-tech equipment for difficult access scenarios and can organize a crane if necessary.
