Specialist piano moving across London and the UK. Uprights, grands and baby grands moved safely with the right equipment and full insurance.
From £250
You are not really searching for someone to move a piano. You are searching for someone you can trust not to damage an instrument worth thousands of pounds. That is a different question, and it needs a different kind of mover.
A piano is not furniture. An upright weighs between 150 and 300kg. A grand piano can weigh over 500kg.
Both contain a precision mechanism of strings, hammers and dampers that can be thrown out of alignment by a single hard knock.
The casework scratches easily.
The legs on a grand piano are structural and must be removed and reattached correctly.
Moving a piano without the right equipment and training risks damaging the instrument, your property, and the people involved.
The piano is wrapped, secured and transported in the correct position to protect the internal mechanism.
At your new address, it is placed exactly where you want it.
The most common type in London homes. Tall, heavy, and difficult to manoeuvre through narrow hallways and around corners without specialist equipment.
The legs are removed for transport and reattached at the destination. The lid is secured and the entire instrument is wrapped in padded covers.
The largest and most complex to move. Legs removed, lid secured, pedal lyre protected, and the instrument transported on its side on a piano skid.
Lighter but still require careful handling to protect screens, weighted keys and electronic components.
Yes, and it is where we differ from piano-only specialists. If you are moving house, you do not need to book a separate company for the piano. We move it as part of your house move, using the same team, the same insurance and the same booking.
The piano is loaded first, positioned securely in the van, and unloaded last, so nothing is stacked against it in transit. See our house removals service for full details on what a house move includes.
Piano removals with GT Removals start from £250. Every piano is different, so we give you a fixed price for your move rather than an hourly rate you cannot plan around.
From£250
Fixed price agreed before the job. Every move includes £30,000 goods in transit cover and £5 million public liability cover.
Send photos of the piano and the access at both addresses on WhatsApp and we can usually price it the same day.
For context, specialist piano movers in London typically charge somewhere between £150 and £600, and more for the largest or most awkward jobs, depending on the type of piano and how complex the move is. Our pricing sits within that range and includes the insurance cover above on every job.
If your new property is not ready, you are renovating, or you simply need the piano out of the way for a while, GT Removals arranges secure storage as part of the same job.
The same team that would move it takes the piano from the room it is in.
Full protective covers go on before the piano leaves the property.
A secure, climate-appropriate facility, for as long as you need it.
When you are ready, we bring it to your door and put it in place.
Storage is priced on how long you need it and quoted alongside the move, so you see one figure for the whole job. Your piano stays insured throughout. Full details are on our storage services page.
Still not sure whether your piano will fit, or what it will cost? Send photos on WhatsApp and we will tell you before you book.
Yes. We move baby grand and full grand pianos across London and the UK. Grand pianos require the legs and pedal lyre to be removed for transport. The instrument is wrapped in padded covers and moved on a specialist piano skid. Legs are reattached and the piano is positioned at your new address.
Yes. Our team carries stair climbing trolleys and ramps for piano moves involving stairs. We assess the staircase, landing width and turning points before the move and plan the route in advance. If you are unsure whether your piano will fit, send us photos or a short video of the staircase via WhatsApp and we will advise before you book.
Yes. Every piano move is covered by £30,000 goods in transit insurance and £5 million public liability insurance. Your piano is protected from the moment we pick it up to the moment we set it down at the destination.
Yes. If you are moving house, we move the piano alongside your other belongings as part of the same booking. The piano is loaded first and unloaded last to keep it secure during transit. One team, one moving day, one invoice. For smaller moves or standalone piano jobs, our man and van team can handle the job.
Piano removals with GT Removals start from £250. The final cost depends on the type of piano, floor level at both properties, stair access, and distance. A straightforward ground floor upright move within London will cost less than a third floor grand piano going from London to Manchester. We provide a fixed quote after seeing photos of the piano and access points.
A piano is one of the few household items that can injure you, damage your property and destroy itself all in the same moment. Professional piano moving equipment, training and insurance exist for good reason. If your piano needs to go anywhere, call us first. A quote takes a few minutes. A repair bill takes much longer.
Send photos on WhatsApp for the fastest quote. No obligation.
