Piano Moving Companies
Piano moving companies need specialist equipment and experience — a standard man and van cannot safely move an upright piano, let alone a grand. Giant Van handles piano removals alongside other awkward or high-value items including antiques, artwork, and safes. All moves are fully insured and carried out by trained crews.
Giant Van moves pianos, antiques, safes and fragile items across the UK. Piano removal from £100. All special items are fully insured. Experienced crews, proper equipment. Call +44 7414 655129 for a specific quote.
Piano Removals: What's Involved?
Piano removals require a minimum of two people, a sack barrow rated for the piano's weight, and protective blankets.
An upright piano weighs between 130kg and 250kg depending on the model.
A baby grand starts at around 180kg.
The main hazards are staircases, narrow doorways, and uneven surfaces.
Before the team arrives, measure doorway widths — anything under 75cm may require the piano's legs to be removed temporarily.
Giant Van handles piano removals across London and the UK, with pricing based on size, distance, and whether stairs are involved.
Call for a specific quote rather than relying on generic online calculators.

The team operates with a clear policy on all specialist items queries.
For pianos, antiques, and heavy instruments, the best approach is to include full details when submitting your quote.

Questions about your move?
Moving fragile things safely is about process, not luck.
Each item needs its own wrapping, not shared space with other objects.
Dishes go on their edge, not flat — stacking plates flat concentrates weight at a single point and causes breakages.
Mirrors and framed art need corner protectors and a dedicated picture box or mirror box, not bubble wrap alone.
Giant Van crews are trained in fragile item handling and can assist with packing on request.
