Pianos are heavy and awkward to move, so our team handles the lifting, manoeuvring and access safely. [Get a Free Quote](/contact) [07401 140925](tel:+447401140925) Heavy lifting handled · Access protected · Fully insured 14+ Years on Ayrshire jobs 2,400+ Clearances completed Within 24 hours Average quote response Fully covered Insurance As little as possible Landfill Overview ## Piano Removal explained — in plain English. ### What it is Removal and disposal of pianos — uprights, baby grands and grands — from any room of the property. We handle the lifting, manoeuvring, stair access and disposal under our SEPA-registered waste-carrier paperwork. ### Who it's for Families clearing a parent's home, downsizers, landlords resetting a let, homeowners replacing an old piano, and executors handling probate clearances where the piano is no longer wanted. ### When you need it Before a house sale or downsizing move, after a bereavement, during a renovation, or simply when a piano hasn't been played in years and is taking up space. ### Why professional Pianos commonly weigh 200–400kg (uprights) or 300–500kg+ (grands), with awkward weight distribution. Moving one without the right crew, straps and access plan risks back injuries, damaged floors and damaged door frames. If you leave it ## What it costs to put this off. - An old piano sitting unplayed against a damp outside wall warps and loses any resale value within a couple of years. - Leaving a piano in place during a house sale can put off buyers who can see they'll inherit the problem of moving it. - DIY piano moves are a leading cause of serious back and crush injuries — pianos are top-heavy and tip easily on stairs. Common mistakes ## The traps to avoid. - Trying to move a piano with two people and a sack barrow — they're too heavy and unbalanced for that. - Booking a general 'man with a van' who hasn't moved a piano before — wrong equipment, no straps, no access plan. - Assuming a charity will take any piano — most will only accept tuned, recently serviced uprights in good condition. Our process ## How a typical piano removal runs. Same process every job — from your first call to the final tidy-up. 1. 01 ### Free site assessment We visit (or review your photos) and, once we've seen the job in person, give you a clear, written, fixed-price quote — no hourly clock, no surprise disposal fees. Once it's in writing, the price won't change. 2. 02 ### Phone assessment Tell us the type (upright, baby grand, grand), the room it's in, the floor, and the access — stairs, hallway widths, doorways. Piano removal starts from £250 and the price is confirmed by phone. 3. 03 ### Access protection On the day, we lay protection on floors, stair edges and door frames before we move the piano. 4. 04 ### Lift, move & dispose Crew of two or more with straps and skates. Piano moved out carefully, loaded, and routed for licensed disposal. 5. 05 ### Final tidy & sign-off Doors locked, keys returned, property left tidy. Where a property is being resold or re-let we can arrange cleaners to come in. SEPA waste transfer note available on request. Benefits ## What you actually get when you book SK. ### Heavy lifting handled Trained crew, proper straps and a real access plan. You don't lift a thing. ### Property protected Floors, stair edges and door frames protected before the piano moves. We treat the property like it's still being lived in. ### Uprights and grands We handle both. Grands are dismantled into legs, lyre and case for safer carry where needed. ### Fully insured £5,000,000 public liability and £10,000 goods-in-transit — you're covered while the piano is in our care. ### Licensed disposal SEPA-registered carrier. Piano routed for responsible disposal — waste transfer note available on request. ### Quote within 24 hours Scott picks up the phone himself. Piano removal from £250, with the final price confirmed by phone based on size and access — no on-arrival surprises. In detail ## Everything that falls under piano removal. ### Pricing Piano removal starts from £250. The final price depends on the type (upright vs grand), the room it's in, the floor and the access, and is confirmed by phone. Once we've talked it through, the price is fixed before we set off — no surprises on the day. ### Uprights Standard upright pianos typically need a crew of two with straps and a skate. Stairs and tight hallways add time but are routine for us — tell us the floor and we'll plan the move on the call. ### Grands and baby grands Grands are usually dismantled in situ — legs, lyre and pedal lyre detached, lid closed and strapped, case moved on its side using a piano board. Slower and more careful than an upright, which is why we always quote these by phone after a short conversation about access. ### What we can't do We're not piano tuners or restorers, so we don't move pianos for re-installation in another home (a specialist piano mover is the right call there). What we do is the careful removal and licensed disposal of pianos that are no longer wanted. FAQ ## Piano Removal questions answered. Still unsure?
