Piano removals in Macclesfield

What’s included

Piano removals cover the instrument itself: an upright or a grand, moved from the room it is in to the room you name. We look at the weight, the shape and the path. The case is covered, the lift is done by enough people, and the piano is secured in the van so it cannot shift.

Insurance is provided. Ask us what is covered when you book. We do not tune, repair or restore. We do not remove a piano that is clearly unsafe to lift, such as one jammed into a stair that cannot take the turn. We would rather refuse than crack a soundboard or a banister.

If the piano is part of a house move, it is listed on that quote as well. If it is the main job, this is the service. Other furniture in the same room can be added if the van and the time allow.

How our service works

Send photos of the piano, the doorway and the stairs, plus both addresses. We say whether we can do it and what the crew looks like. The quote is written and stays valid for 3 months.

On the day we clear a path, protect floors on the route, and move the piano first while everyone is fresh. A grand may need the legs and pedals removed if that is how the instrument is built. Those parts travel with it, labelled. At the new house we set it against the wall you choose, on a floor you are happy can take the weight. We do not leave it in a damp porch.

You should book tuning for a later day. A piano often needs a little time in the room before a technician works on it.

What affects the cost

The type of piano is the first factor. A standard upright in a ground-floor room with a straight path to the door is the simpler job. A grand, a basement, or a stair with a turn needs more people and more time.

The carry to the van, steps, gravel, and the length of the drive all matter. Adding a house full of furniture changes the booking into a combined move. Say that at the start so the van is not already full when we reach the piano.

Pianos in local houses

We are often asked to move uprights in village houses in Prestbury and Gawsworth, where the stair was not built with a piano in mind. Larger homes in Alderley Edge and Wilmslow are more likely to have a grand in a front room, with a drive that helps, and a doorway that still needs measuring.
