Why you need a specialist piano removal service

1.  Experience with a tricky job

Top of the list of reasons why you need a company who work with piano removal all of the time is the experience they will have with this tricky job.  Moving a piano is about more than moving a large, heavy item – it is about understanding how the piano works and how this impacts the way it is moved.

2.  The right equipment

Another important reason for using a specialist is that they have the right equipment for the

Job; this includes ramps to help deal with stairs and dollies to allow the piano to be lifted and moved around without damaging it.  This also extends to the vehicles that are used which are different from normal removals vehicles and are designed to anchor the piano and ensure it doesn’t move during transit.

3.  Comprehensive insurance

Because there’s a lot of potential for things to go wrong, moving a piano means having comprehensive insurance for the task.  This is different from normal removal insurance and covers the different situations that can be faced with a piano removal.  It offers the customer a far higher level of protection than a normal removal policy.

4.  Great value for money

Moving home involves lots of different costs but a piano removal is always great value for money because it protects your precious instrument in such a comprehensive way.  So, while it may be another expense to add to the list, it is a worthwhile one.

5.  Piano storage options

The final reason to think about using a specialist for piano removal is that you may need to store the piano for a while before the move.  We offer piano storage as well as transport so if there’s a delay between leaving one house and reaching the other, we can take care of your piano for you in our facility, so you don’t need to worry about it.
