Piano & Specialist across City of London, done properly
Pianos and awkward heavy pieces in City of London need more than a standard van booking. The Square Mile — office-heavy moves, early-morning slots and strict loading rules around the City.
We assess stairs, turns and landing strength before moving day. Tuned for Square Mile loading rules, early slots and office-heavy security desks.
Loading bays, timed restrictions and security desks are the norm. Early morning or weekend cutovers usually work best — we plan around City access rules. Photos and make/model help us quote accurately.
Pianos, antiques and oversized pieces need more than a strong back — they need the right technique, padding and crew. Our piano & specialist service moves upright and grand pianos, heavy gym kit, safes and awkward heirlooms with trained care.
We assess stairs, turns and doorway widths before we commit, then bring piano boards, straps and enough people to keep every step controlled. No dragging, no ‘hope for the best’ — just a calm, planned lift.
Whether it’s a hallway piano that’s lived there for twenty years or a specialist item from a gallery or studio, we’ll quote honestly and only proceed when the access is workable.
