Piano Removals Done Right

Pricing for piano removals in Rochester depends on three things: the type of piano, the access at your property, and the distance to the destination.

Giant Van publishes honest, upfront prices. You know the cost before we confirm the booking.

For a standard upright piano move within Rochester, such as from a ground-floor flat on Corporation Street to another address in ME1, our Man and Van service starts from £45 per hour.

Most upright piano moves within the city complete in two to three hours with a two-person crew.

For larger moves that combine a piano with household contents, our fixed-price packages apply.

A one-bedroom property in Rochester runs between £250 and £400. A two-bedroom property costs between £400 and £650. A three-bedroom home, such as a semi-detached on Maidstone Road or a terraced house near Watts Avenue, sits between £650 and £900. These prices include the piano as part of the load.

Baby grand and concert grand pianos carry a surcharge because they must be partially disassembled.

The legs and pedal lyre are removed and wrapped separately. Reassembly at the destination is included in the quote.

Stairs add time.

If your Rochester property has more than one flight of stairs, we factor that in at the quoting stage. Properties on the upper floors of converted period buildings near The Vines often need extra crew members. We will tell you exactly what is needed.

We can usually give you a price in under five minutes.

Same-day piano removals in Rochester are available Monday to Saturday, subject to crew availability.

Book before 10am and we can usually despatch a two-person piano crew the same morning. The Giant Van app shows live availability for your postcode. You book, confirm, and track from one screen.

Same-day moves work best for straightforward upright piano jobs in accessible ground-floor or first-floor Rochester properties.

If your piano is on a third floor, or if your building has no lift, we recommend booking 48 hours ahead. That gives us time to bring the right equipment and ensure the crew size is correct.

Same-day jobs are priced at standard hourly rates.

There is no peak or emergency surcharge. The rate from £45 per hour applies regardless of when you book. If your job extends beyond the estimated time, we charge in 30-minute increments. You are told the rate upfront.

Customers in Rochester city centre and the Medway towns use same-day removal for situations such as a property chain completing earlier than expected, a purchase falling through and needing a quick move to storage, or a last-minute delivery from a retailer who cannot carry items to the room.

Giant Van has covered Rochester and the wider Medway area for years.

Our crews know which roads flood near the Medway riverbank in wet weather, which car parks allow overnight loading, and which Rochester streets have height barriers on approach routes. That local knowledge is worth as much as the van itself.
