Questions to ask piano movers near you

Can I move a piano without professional movers?

Pianos are often valuable and sentimental pieces, not to mention tricky and heavy to move. They also have delicate parts that need preserving en-route.

  • As such, an experienced piano mover will understand how a piano works and how this affects the way it needs to be transported from one place to another
  • Moreover, piano moving specialists will have the right equipment for the job. This includes ramps to help move the piano up and down stairs, and dollies so the piano can be lifted and moved around without damaging it
  • Piano movers near you will also be experts at padding and packing your upright, baby grand, or electric piano
  • They will also have the correct vehicles which are different from normal removal vans and designed to anchor the piano in place so it doesn’t move in transit

At Checkatrade, we always recommend hiring a professional if you’re in any doubt about doing it yourself.

How much does it cost to move a piano in the UK?

This will depend on several factors including the size of the piano and the distance it needs to be moved. But you’ll want to protect your instrument so it can continue to be used and admired.

So, getting a professional piano mover in is definitely worthwhile.

To ensure you receive a fair price for the work, we recommend getting a selection of quotes from piano movers near you. This is easily done with our ‘request a quote’ form.

Are you fully insured?

Insurance gives you peace of mind that you, your piano, and your property are protected in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

If an accident occurs when someone is working in your property, you’ll want to know that they are fully insured.

This is why all Checkatrade members must have up-to-date public liability insurance to be listed in our directory.

Do you have any piano storage options?

Don’t forget, you might need piano storage too if there’s a delay between moving from one location to another. If so, ask the piano transport company whether they have any storage facilities where your instrument can be kept safely until you need it.

Do you offer a piano disposal and recycling service?

If your piano has reached the end of its life, find out if piano moving services near you offer a responsible disposal and recycling service.

Specialists will remove the piano from your home and then strip away any parts that can be re-used to restore other instruments.

The rest of the piano is then safely dismantled and parts are either recycled or disposed of.
