Our Piano Moving Services
As part of our professional piano moving service in Edinburgh, we adhere to Quality Service Standard BS EN 12522, making us fully compliant in all process aspects. Our experienced piano movers follow strict handling procedures to ensure every stage of the move is carried out safely and professionally, from initial assessment through to final placement.
Despite most pianos’ weight and size, they are delicate and require extra care when shipping. Piano moving requires specialist equipment and trained handlers, as improper lifting or transportation can cause both structural damage to the instrument and injury. At Guardian Removals, we provide a complete moving service that covers securely packing, loading, transporting, and unloading your piano into your new home.
Our piano transportation process includes protective wrapping, secure positioning within our vehicles, and careful manoeuvring through tight spaces or staircases where required.
Whether you are moving your piano from a domestic or commercial premise, in Edinburgh or internationally, our team can make the moving process a smooth transition, ensuring your piano reaches its destination in pristine condition. No matter the distance, we deliver reliable and professional piano moving tailored to your specific requirements.
Why Choose Professional Piano Movers?
Moving a piano without specialist knowledge can be risky due to the weight, balance and delicate internal structure of the instrument. Professional piano movers provide the experience, training and specialist equipment needed to complete safe and secure piano moving services.
Our team uses specialist tools and proven piano transportation methods to carefully manage every stage of the move. This includes protective wrapping, secure loading, careful transport and precise placement in your new property.
Professional piano moving services are especially important when navigating stairs, narrow doorways or properties with limited access space. Pianos can be extremely difficult to manoeuvre safely without the correct lifting techniques and equipment, increasing the risk of damage to the instrument, floors or surrounding property.
Guardian Removals provides experienced piano movers who focus on delivering safe, reliable and efficient piano transportation, giving customers confidence that their instrument is in safe hands.
Piano Moves FAQs
How heavy is a piano?
Piano weight varies depending on the type of instrument. Upright pianos usually weigh between 136kg and 227kg, while baby grand pianos typically weigh between 227kg and 295kg. Larger grand pianos can weigh up to 544kg, making them extremely difficult to move without specialist equipment and trained professional piano movers.
Can I move my piano?
Moving a piano without professional help is extremely challenging and can be dangerous. Most piano moves require several people to safely lift and guide the instrument while protecting floors, walls and doorways from damage.
Professional piano moving services use specialist lifting techniques, protective padding and transport equipment to reduce the risk of injury or damage to the piano. Hiring experienced piano movers is usually the safest option for piano relocation.
How much does it cost to move a piano?
The piano moving cost depends on several factors, including the size and weight of the piano, the distance it needs to travel, and property access requirements such as stairs or narrow doorways.
Piano moving rates also vary depending on whether additional services are required, such as dismantling parts of a grand piano or providing extra protective packaging.
