What we need to know for the quote

A piano needs more people than a sofa, so it has its own line in the quote. Heavy and awkward pieces are priced that way on every move; our guide to what a removal in Chester costs explains how the rest of the quote is built.

Piano removals: standalone or as part of a house move

At Duffield Removals, we can transport your piano as part of a full house removal or arrange a standalone piano collection and delivery to another property, a family member or a storage facility.

Each piano removal is individually assessed, taking into account the collection and delivery locations, property access, piano type and moving date, to give you an accurate quote.

We also offer long-distance piano removals from Chester and Mid Wales to destinations throughout the UK, using protective wrapping, specialist handling equipment and secure transport.

For a free, no-obligation quote, simply select "A few items" on our quote form and include details of your piano, or contact our friendly team directly.

After the move

A piano usually needs tuning after a move, once it has had a few weeks to settle to the temperature and humidity of its new room. We move pianos; we do not tune them, so book your usual tuner for a few weeks after moving day.

Piano removal insurance

Our piano removals are covered by goods in transit insurance up to £120,000, subject to our terms and conditions.

Piano removals: the answers

Do you move grand pianos?

We can take on baby grand piano removals, subject to an assessment of the piano's size, weight and access at both properties. Larger grand pianos need a specialist piano removal company with the right equipment and expertise, and we'll tell you about any limits when you enquire, before giving you a quote.

How much does it cost to move a piano?

Piano removal costs depend on the type, size and weight of the piano, the distance between properties and any access restrictions, such as stairs, steps or narrow doorways. Simply send the piano's make, approximate dimensions and photographs of the access at both locations, and we'll give you a personalised, no-obligation quote.

Can you move just a piano?

Yes. We offer standalone piano removals, whether you're moving an upright piano locally or arranging a long-distance piano delivery. Simply select "A few items" on our quote form, or contact us directly with details of your piano and the access at both properties, for a free, no-obligation quote.

Is my piano protected during the move?

Yes. We carefully protect pianos using specialist wrapping materials and secure them within our removal vehicles so they cannot shift in transit.

Will my piano need tuning after the move?

Usually, yes. Give it a few weeks to settle in the new room, then book your tuner. We move pianos but do not tune them.
