Why hire a piano removals expert through Airtasker?

Pianos are notoriously difficult to move due to their size, weight, and delicate internal components. Hiring a trained piano removals expert through Airtasker ensures the instrument is handled safely from start to finish, providing a more efficient and reliable solution than attempting the task alone or with untrained help.

Trained and experienced, piano removals experts know the right techniques to secure your heavy furniture throughout the relocation process. You can trust them to expertly manoeuvre your pianos from one room to another, or even to another floor. This way, you are also reducing the associated risks in letting an amateur move your thousand-pound upright or grand piano around.

With professional support, the piano can be relocated swiftly and with far less disruption than a DIY move. Once in its new position, the instrument can be set up and ready for use without unnecessary delays or complications.

Top Piano Removals related questions

With Airtasker, you can easily find a range of other services. You can book furniture assembly experts who can help you get settled in your new place quickly, or a house renovator to speed up your renovation or house redecoration. 

There are also pool table removals experts, as well as bed, trampoline, and gym equipment removals. For home or office relocations, there are man with a van removals nearby who can help quickly bring your furniture to your destination.

Pianos are built to resist heavy impacts and decades of abuse, so simple movements and bumps will not easily affect its tuning. However, the climate can change the tension of the strings and affect the soundboard of your piano. For peace of mind, let your piano sit first for at least 3-4 weeks until it has completely adjusted to the new setting, then have it tuned right after.

Investing in climate-controlled storage can help you preserve your piano for a very long time rather than simply leaving them unused in garages or basements. Let Taskers know if you need help in moving your piano to a specific piano storage site. They can help you with the packing and crating, as well as transporting and be confident that your piano will arrive safely to the storage premises.

Before they move your piano to the new room or desired area, your Tasker first measures the room, doorway, lift or staircases, and checks for any obstacles. If the piano doesn't fit in the lift, they can move them through stairs or ramps. For stairways with complicated turns and curves, the piano movers may need to dismantle them to smaller parts.

Moving a piano in the UK typically costs £80 to £250, depending on the type of piano, the distance of the move, and the access at each property. Upright pianos generally sit at the lower end of the range, while larger or more complex moves—such as grand pianos or relocations involving stairs or narrow spaces—may fall toward the higher end.

Because Taskers set their own rates, it’s a good idea to compare a few offers and discuss the specifics of your move in advance, including size, weight, access, and any specialist equipment required. This helps ensure you agree on a clear and accurate price before booking.

What do piano removals services include?

Moving an upright or grand piano requires expert moving knowledge, the right equipment, and a careful, well-planned approach. Professional piano removals experts can manage every stage of the process, from preparing the instrument for transport to positioning it safely in its new location. 

Whether the move involves a short-distance transfer, a change of address, or relocating the piano within the same building, skilled piano removals experts can ensure the job is completed safely and efficiently.

A typical piano removals service through Airtasker can include the following:

Pack and crate your piano

Your piano removals expert 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.

Transport your piano safely

Your piano removals expert 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.

Relocate and set up your piano

Once your piano's in the new location, your piano removals expert 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 piano removals expert 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.
