Quick, no-obligation estimate for your piano move
Most UK piano moves cost between £180 and £650. A local upright move is typically £180–£350, a baby grand £300–£550, and a concert grand £500–£900. Stairs add roughly £40–£90 per flight, and hoist access — needed when a piano will not fit through the stairwell — adds £400–£1,200. Every quote we issue is fixed and itemised before you book.
Most UK piano moves cost between £180 and £650. An upright piano moved locally typically costs £180–£350, while a grand piano usually costs £300–£900 depending on size, access and distance. Stairs, crane access and long-distance mileage are the three factors that change the price the most.
An upright piano weighs 180–350kg and a concert grand can exceed 500kg, with almost all of that weight concentrated high and toward the back. Standard removal crews rarely carry piano skids, toe-jacks or the training to control that weight on stairs, which is where most damage and injuries occur.
Yes. Grand and baby grand pianos are lowered onto a padded skid board, the lyre and legs are removed, and the case is wrapped before being trolleyed to the vehicle. The piano is rebuilt and levelled in position at the destination.
Every move is covered by Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance up to £10m. Higher-value instruments can be declared in advance so cover matches the replacement value of the piano.
Almost always. Movement and a change in humidity unsettle the string tension. Let the piano acclimatise in its new room for two to four weeks, then book a tuner for the best long-term stability.
Yes. Uprights are walked up stairs on straps by a trained crew. Where a stairwell is too narrow or turns too tightly, we survey the property and arrange window or balcony hoist access instead.
We operate in over 200 locations across the United Kingdom.
