Piano Removals Bolton

1. 1
   For Cheap Piano Removals Bolton, for Bolton customers, preparation makes the difference between a smooth piano move and an expensive mistake.

   Follow these five steps before our crew arrives.

2. 2
   Measure every doorway between the piano and the van.

   Include the front door, any internal doors and the turn at the bottom or top of the stairs. Write the measurements down. Our team will ask for them when you book, and accurate figures mean we bring the right equipment first time.

3. 3
   Empty the piano stool and any storage bench.

   Piano stools with internal storage add bulk and weight. Remove sheet music, accessories and anything stored under an upright piano. Clear the floor around the instrument so the crew has at least 1 metre of clear working space on all sides.

4. 4
   Lock the piano lid.

   If your piano has a fallboard that covers the keys, lock it or secure it with tape. On a grand piano, lower and latch the main lid. This stops the lid swinging open during the move and damaging the keys or the crew.

5. 5
   Photograph the piano before we arrive.

   Take clear pictures of the casing, legs, pedal lyre and any existing marks or scratches. Keep a copy. This protects you and us if any dispute arises about pre-existing damage.

6. 6
   Tell us about the destination.

   If you are moving to a flat above the ground floor in Rumworth (BL3) or a house with external steps on Wigan Road (BL3 5), tell us at booking. Surprises at the delivery end cost everyone time and sometimes money.

Your Path to Piano Removals in Bolton

1. 1
   What Is the Difference.

   A standard removal service treats a piano like any other large item. A specialist piano removal service does not. Here is the practical difference when you are booking bolton removal companies for an instrument.

2. 2
   Standard removal teams use general furniture pads and moving straps not rated for the concentrated weight distribution of a piano.

   A piano's weight sits on three or four small contact points: the legs and the casters. Standard moving equipment spreads that load incorrectly. This causes leg damage and floor damage.

3. 3
   Specialist piano crews use piano boards, which distribute weight evenly across the base of the instrument.

   They use skids designed for the shape of an upright or the leg structure of a grand. The difference in risk to your instrument is significant.

4. 4
   Giant Van provides specialist piano equipment and trained crew on every piano booking in Bolton.

   We do not send a standard house removal team to move a piano. Every piano booking gets crew who have specifically handled instruments before.

5. 5
   On insurance, a standard removal policy often excludes musical instruments or caps claims at a low flat rate.

   Our policy covers instruments at replacement value. If your upright piano is worth £3,000, that is what our insurance covers.

6. 6
   On access, a standard team may attempt a doorway and give up, leaving the piano in a hallway.

   Our crew carries door removal tools, stair-climbing equipment and floor protection as standard. We plan for the worst-case access condition before arriving.
