Professional Piano Moving Services

Moving a piano requires far more than simply lifting and transporting a heavy item. Pianos are valuable, delicate instruments that require careful planning, specialist handling and experienced movers to ensure they are transported safely from one location to another.

At Man and Van, we provide professional piano moving services for homeowners, musicians, schools, music venues, churches and businesses throughout the UK. Whether you’re relocating an upright piano, baby grand piano, grand piano or digital piano, our experienced team understands the care and attention required to move your instrument safely and efficiently.

From local piano relocations to long-distance transportation, we provide reliable piano moving solutions designed to protect your instrument every step of the way.

Specialist Piano Movers You Can Trust

Pianos are among the most challenging items to move.

Not only are they exceptionally heavy, but they also contain thousands of intricate moving components that can be affected by poor handling, sudden impacts and incorrect transportation techniques. Attempting to move a piano without the proper experience can result in damage to the instrument, property or even personal injury.

Our piano moving service is specifically designed to eliminate these risks. We carefully assess every move, considering access points, staircases, doorways, flooring, vehicle requirements and transportation logistics before the move takes place.

The result is a safer, smoother and more professional relocation experience.

Upright Piano Moving

Upright pianos are one of the most commonly moved instruments, but their weight and shape can make transportation surprisingly difficult.

Our experienced piano movers regularly relocate upright pianos between homes, schools, rehearsal spaces, music studios and performance venues. Whether you’re moving across town or to another part of the country, we’ll ensure your piano is transported carefully and professionally.

Every move is planned with the instrument’s safety as the top priority.

Baby Grand and Grand Piano Moving

Grand pianos require an even greater level of expertise.

Their size, weight and construction demand careful handling throughout every stage of the move. From dismantling components where necessary to secure transportation and careful reassembly, our team takes every precaution to protect your investment.

Whether you’re relocating a baby grand piano within your home or transporting a grand piano to a new venue, you can rely on our experienced movers to deliver a professional service from start to finish.

Piano Collections and Deliveries

Purchased a piano and need it transported?

Our piano collection and delivery service provides a safe and convenient solution for transporting instruments purchased from private sellers, music shops, auction houses and online marketplaces.

We regularly assist customers buying and selling pianos throughout the UK, ensuring instruments are collected, transported and delivered professionally.

Whether you’re purchasing your first piano or adding to a collection, we can help ensure your instrument arrives safely.

Piano Moves for Homes, Schools and Venues

Every piano move is different.

We regularly assist homeowners relocating cherished family pianos, schools moving instruments between classrooms, churches relocating pianos for events and venues requiring specialist transportation for performances and productions.

Whatever the environment, our experienced team will assess the requirements of the move and provide a transportation solution tailored to the instrument and location involved.

Local and Long-Distance Piano Transport

Whether your piano is moving a few streets away or travelling across the country, professional transportation is essential.

At Man and Van, we provide both local and long-distance piano moving services throughout the UK. Every journey is carefully planned to ensure your piano remains secure throughout transportation and arrives safely at its destination.

Distance doesn’t change our approach. Every piano receives the same level of care, attention and professionalism.

Why Choose Professional Piano Movers?

Many people underestimate the challenges involved in moving a piano.

A standard upright piano can weigh several hundred kilograms, while larger grand pianos can be considerably heavier. Combined with delicate internal mechanisms, polished finishes and awkward dimensions, pianos require a specialist approach that goes beyond conventional furniture moving.

Professional piano movers have the experience, planning and equipment needed to manage these challenges safely while helping to protect both the instrument and surrounding property.

Choosing a specialist piano moving service provides valuable peace of mind and significantly reduces the risks associated with transporting such an important instrument.

At Man and Van, we understand that a piano is often far more than just a piece of furniture.

For many customers, it represents a significant financial investment, a cherished family heirloom or an essential part of their profession. That’s why we approach every piano move with the care, attention and professionalism it deserves.

Our customers trust us because we provide reliable communication, careful handling and a service focused on protecting valuable instruments throughout the moving process.

When it comes to piano moving, experience matters.

I contacted Barry and his team to help with a small removal job. Their response was very quick and efficient. The guys who came the very next day were friendly and respectful of our home when removing two sofas from the first floor. I'd have no hesitation using this service again. Also, very reasonably priced compared to others. Thank you.

Used Barry and his team for the second time now, and once again they didn't disappoint. Quick to come back with a quote and the price was very reasonable. This move was actually two separate moves across a bank holiday weekend, in the middle of a heatwave, and the lads handled it brilliantly. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were happy to get everything exactly where it needed to go. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Highly recommended.

Needed to relocate the contents of a 20ft storage container from Beds to Norfolk at short notice. Received an immediate response to my request for a price and a very competitve quote. The job was done a few days later by two very professional and courteous lads who took great care with the items being moved. Faultless communication and service all round. Highly recommended.

We recently used A Man and Van Hertfordshire for our move from Hertfordshire to Bedfordshire, and they were great from start to finish and were really accommodating to everything we needed. The team were friendly, hardworking, and took really good care of all our belongings. Nothing was too much trouble, and they helped everything run smoothly on the day. We’d definitely recommend A Man and Van Hertfordshire to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly removal service. Thanks again for all your help.

I've used A Man and Van Hertfordshire three times: removing a large wardrobe from the top floor of my three storey house; a large sofa down awkward stairs from the middle floor; and now carrying flatpack oak bed and matress from the ground to the top floor. I cancelled twice at short notice because of delivery failures but Barry was unfailingly helpful and responded straight away when the delivery finally arrived. His team is unfailingly polite and efficient, prices are honest and reasonable, and always absolutely reliable. Highly recommended.

Upright pianos, baby grand pianos and grand pianos all require different levels of planning and handling. We provide tailored, no-obligation quotes based on your specific requirements.

Can you move upright pianos?

Do you move grand and baby grand pianos?

Absolutely. Grand pianos and baby grand pianos require specialist handling due to their size, weight and construction. Our team carefully plans every move to ensure the piano is transported safely and professionally.

Is moving a piano different from moving furniture?

Yes. While a piano may appear similar to a large piece of furniture, it contains thousands of delicate internal components and requires specialist handling. Improper lifting or transportation can cause damage to both the piano and surrounding property.

Can you move a piano upstairs or downstairs?

In many cases, yes. Our team regularly handles piano moves involving stairs, apartment buildings, raised entrances and difficult access points. We’ll assess the property and access requirements before the move to ensure it can be completed safely.

How heavy is a piano?

The weight of a piano varies depending on the model. Upright pianos typically weigh between 150kg and 300kg, while baby grand and grand pianos can weigh significantly more. Due to their weight and awkward shape, professional handling is strongly recommended.
