Piano & Specialist across London, done properly
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.
Piano moves with the right kit and crew
Pianos are heavy, top-heavy and easily damaged, so we never treat them as just another item. Our piano moves use a trained crew, a piano board and straps, and we check stairs, turns and doorways before the day so the right number of people turn up.
We move upright pianos, digital pianos and grand pianos, as part of a house move or on their own.

How it works, step by step
We’ve refined our process across London moves every week to keep everything simple and predictable. Here’s exactly what happens from your first enquiry through to completion.
Get your free quote
Tell us what you need moving, your pickup and delivery addresses and your preferred date. Start your quote in under a minute — we usually reply with a clear fixed price within about one working hour. No site visit required for most jobs; a free home survey is available for larger moves.
Confirm your booking
Pick a date and time that suits you. A small deposit is only asked when you confirm the booking — it comes off your final balance. We’ll send a confirmation with everything you need to prepare, plus a friendly reminder as the day approaches.
We prepare and protect
On the day, our uniformed crew arrives on time with blankets, straps and trolleys. We protect floors, doorways and furniture before anything is lifted, so your home and your belongings stay in perfect condition.
Careful transport
Your items are loaded, secured and driven safely to the destination by an experienced London driver who knows the boroughs, the permit zones and the quickest routes at any time of day.
Unload and settle in
We place everything exactly where you want it, reassemble anything we took apart and only leave once you’re completely happy. Payment is taken on completion — simple and stress-free.
