Piano removals
Piano removals across the West Midlands with the right equipment and a planned route through the property before anything is lifted. Uprights, baby grands and digitals, moved by people who do not treat them as just heavy furniture.
Every piano move starts with the route: doorways measured, steps counted, tight turns identified before lifting day. In April 2025 a Solihull baby grand looked straightforward until the final doorway disagreed, so the legs came off, every edge got padding, and it went through the wider rear entrance in a controlled lift to its new Coventry home. The owner's review: calm, skilled and clearly experienced with pianos.
Uprights ride strapped to piano trolleys, and awkward steps get the ramp reset rather than forced. A McCarthy family upright in June 2025 met a step with a nasty lip that caught the trolley. We paused, reset, and took it slowly. Shortbread was supplied. Nobody rushed.
Most pianos we move are not concert instruments; they are the one your gran played, which makes them worth more, not less. The Lloyd upright had been in the family for decades when we brought it home to Brewood in January 2025. Their son played one triumphant note when it landed. That is the job done right.
Digital pianos and stands travel dismantled and wrapped, with cables in a labelled bag, because easy-to-scratch beats heavy as the actual challenge. If your move includes a piano alongside a full house, tell us at quote stage and we will plan it into the load properly.
Each type of piano needs a different method, and we bring the kit and the crew to match:
Whatever the type, expect to book a tuner a few weeks after the move. The change of room and humidity nudges any piano out of tune, even after a faultless lift.

upright pianoThe piano had been in the family for decades and the client was understandably nervous. Tight turns, proper straps and a slow, careful load got it moved without drama. Their son played one triumphant note when it was in place.
"You treated it like it was priceless, which to us it is."

baby grand pianoThe access looked generous until the final doorway decided to be awkward. The team removed the legs, protected every edge and used a controlled lift through the wider rear entrance.

upright pianoA step at the old property had a nasty little lip that caught the trolley. The team paused, reset the ramp and moved it slowly rather than forcing it. The client supplied excellent shortbread, which was mentioned more than once.
"They took their time where it mattered."

digital piano and standNot the heaviest piano job, but the stand and pedals were awkward and easy to scratch. The team wrapped the separate sections and kept the cables together in a labelled bag.
"It arrived cleaner than when it left. I am not asking questions."

Just mention it when you get in touch and the discount comes straight off your written quote, on any move from a single item to a full house.
It depends on the piano type, the access at both ends and the distance, so we quote each piano move individually. Send photos of the piano and both doorways with your enquiry and the quote comes back faster and firmer.
Usually yes, with the route walked first. Stairs, landings and turns decide the method, and occasionally the honest answer is that a window or stair specialist is needed. We tell you that before quote stage, not on the day.
Yes. Grands travel with the legs and pedal lyre removed, the body padded and wrapped on its side on a piano shoe, and everything reassembled and positioned at the destination.
Probably, and that is normal. Moving and the change of room conditions affect tuning even on a perfectly handled move, so most owners book a tuner for a few weeks after settling in.
Yes, and it is cheaper that way than as two separate jobs. Mention the piano when you ask for your house removal quote so the right equipment is on the van.
An upright is normally a two-person job with the right trolley and straps, and a grand or a tricky staircase often calls for more hands. We size the crew to the piano and the access rather than trying to muscle it with too few, which is the single most common cause of a damaged instrument and a damaged wall.
