Find experienced piano removalists near you

Don't risk moving your large upright or grand piano alone. Instead, hire a professional removalist to ensure safer and more efficient handling of this valuable possession. 

Airtasker can help connect you with plenty of professional piano removalists who can take over the stress of moving your expansive piano from one place to another. Regardless of whether you're relocating to another apartment or building location, or simply moving them within the same house or building, there are nearby removalists who can lend a hand. 

Most piano removalists cover all the steps needed to move your piano, so you can have more time for yourself to relax or utilise that time arranging or decorating your space. To give you an overview, here's what to expect from your piano removals service:

Piano packing and crating

Your removalist can secure your piano using specialised packing and crating methods designed to protect heavy instruments during transport. Large and bulky pieces like pedals, lyres, or backstays may be removed and stored in clearly labelled crates or boxes, while the main body of the piano is wrapped using blankets, pads, and shrink wrap to prevent movement or scratches. When needed, your Tasker may also suggest additional foam padding for extra protection.

If you're preparing for a bigger move, you may book a packing service to wrap and label your boxes, and ensure everything is ready for transport. You can also hire a move-in cleaner to help you settle into your new space faster once the piano and other items have been relocated.

Piano transport

Your removalist can load your piano safely into a climate-controlled moving truck and secure it to prevent shifting during the journey. They’ll use proper strapping techniques and protective barriers to minimise vibration, bumps, and sudden movement, helping your piano stay in good condition throughout the trip. Whether you’re moving a few streets away or relocating interstate, your Tasker will handle your instrument with care from pickup to delivery.

Piano relocation and setup

Once your piano's in the new location, your removalist will unload your piano and move it directly to your chosen room or performance area. The main body stays fully wrapped until reassembly begins to avoid marks or surface damage. If needed, your removalist can help unpack, reassemble, and position your piano exactly where you want it.

You may also find it useful to book a Tasker for piano lessons, which is perfect if you’d like a quick refresher or want to get back into playing once your piano is set up.
