Piano movers in York: an upright piano removal is a fixed price for two trained movers in the York area, £160 Monday to Thursday, £195 on Friday and Saturday, and £225 on Sundays and bank holidays. We've moved upright pianos since 2008, with £10,000 Goods in Transit cover.
Upright piano removals in York, done by people who've been moving them since 2008. An upright piano is heavy, top-heavy and easy to damage, along with the doorframes, stairs and floors it passes on the way. That's why every piano move has at least two trained movers and the right equipment, and why the price is fixed before we arrive.
Upright Pianos Only
We move upright pianos as a specialist service. Grand pianos need different equipment and a grand piano specialist, so if that's what you have, ask us and we'll point you in the right direction.
How We Move an Upright Piano Safely
Before the day, tell us about the route out: steps, tight turns, narrow hallways, and whether the piano is upstairs. On the day we protect the piano with blankets, move it on proper equipment rather than dragging it, and strap it upright in the van so it can't tip or slide. At the other end it goes exactly where you want it.
We'd always suggest having the piano tuned a few weeks after it's moved, once it has settled into its new room.
Piano Moves Across York and the Rest of the UK
We move upright pianos anywhere in mainland UK, whether that's collecting a Bechstein in Bangor or dropping a Steinway in Selby. Moving house as well? The piano can come with the rest of your things on our house removals service, with the same care we'd give our own. For other instruments, PA systems and stage gear, see music equipment transport.

Before Your Piano Moves: Common Questions
How much does it cost to move an upright piano in York?
£160 Monday to Thursday, £195 on Friday or Saturday, and £225 on Sundays and bank holidays, for 2 movers in the York area.
Do you move grand pianos?
No, upright pianos only. Ask us and we'll suggest a grand piano specialist.
Can you move a piano upstairs?
Often, yes. Tell us about the stairs and the route when you book, so we can bring the right number of movers.
Will my piano need tuning after the move?
It's a good idea to have it tuned a few weeks after the move, once it has settled.
