How it works
Your piano removals, step by step
One named move manager looks after the job from the first call to the last box, so you always know who to speak to and what happens next.
- 01
Tell us the piano
Give us the make the model and the access at both ends. A photo of the instrument and the doorway is usually enough for us to price it.
- 02
Plan the lift
We confirm crew size equipment and whether the legs need to come off. Parking and any stair runs are agreed in advance.
- 03
Move day
Floors and frames are protected first. The piano is wrapped skated and secured in the vehicle so it cannot shift in transit.
- 04
Positioned and rebuilt
We place the piano exactly where you want it rebuild the legs and pedals and take the packaging away with us.

Piano removals in Reading: common questions
Straight answers on price, timing, insurance and packing. Still unsure? Call the office on 01183 151 370 and we will talk it through.
Full removals FAQ01How much does it cost to move a piano in Reading?
Price depends on the instrument and the access. An upright on ground floor level is the simplest job while a grand coming down a narrow staircase needs more crew and more time. Send a photo and we will give you a fixed written price.
02Do you tune the piano after the move?
We do not tune in house but we recommend leaving the piano to settle for two weeks before a tuner visits. We can point you to local tuners in Reading.
03Can you move a piano on its own?
Yes. Many customers book a piano move by itself rather than as part of a full house removal.
