At Move on Removals, we are an experienced and insured removal company who specialise in piano removals. Pianos are valuable and delicate instruments that require special care when being moved. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the factors that affect the cost of moving a piano and provide an estimate of how much you can expect to pay.
The type of piano can affect the overall cost. Grand pianos are larger and heavier than upright pianos, so they require more time and effort to move. Larger pianos may also require additional people which increases labour costs.
The longer the distance, the higher the cost of transportation. This can be compounded by the number of people required to move the piano and a greater distance means longer travel times and increased labour costs.
If the piano needs to be moved up or down stairs or through narrow doorways, additional equipment and labour may be needed. Some moves may require windows to be removed as doorways can be too narrow. This will require additional trades and will increase the cost.
At Move On Removals, we offer a Full-service piano move. This means we can pack and transport the piano for you. We also offer a move only option which requires you to pack and prep the piano yourself.
The average cost of moving a piano ranges from £200 to £1,000, depending on the factors listed above.
Upright pianos typically cost less to move than grand pianos, with average prices ranging from £200 to £500.
Grand pianos can cost significantly more to move, with prices ranging from £500 to £1,000 or more.
You may not want to move your piano straight into your new home. This can be especially true if you are planning to redecorate. At Move On Removals, we do offer a storage solution, so we can keep your piano safe and secure until you are ready to bring it home.
Moving a piano can be expensive, but it’s worth the cost to ensure that the instrument is transported safely and securely, by insured, experienced experts.
