Piano Removals Done Right

Cost is one of the first things people ask about, and rightly so.

Piano removals carry a reputation for being expensive. At Giant Van, we work hard to keep prices honest. Our man and van service for smaller upright piano jobs starts from £45 per hour. For a full-property move combined with piano removal, our fixed prices give you certainty upfront.

A one-bedroom property in Stevenage, where a small upright piano is often the largest single item, is priced between £250 and £400.

A two-bedroom move, more commonly involving a standard upright or baby grand, runs from £400 to £650. Three-bedroom properties with a grand piano in a reception room are priced from £650 to £900. These figures include loading, transport, and unloading at the destination.

Several factors affect the final figure.

Distance within Stevenage matters less than access conditions. A property on St George's Way near the town centre, where parking is restricted, may require a shuttle run from a nearby car park. That adds time. Properties near Fairlands Valley Park on the western edge of SG2 tend to have better road access and easier parking, which keeps costs lower.

Piano type also affects price.

An upright piano weighing 180 kg is straightforward for two trained crew members with the right equipment. A baby grand at 300 kg requires three crew and specialist boards. A concert grand above 400 kg may need four crew and advance planning. We quote honestly based on the actual job, not a generic rate.

Booking a piano removal with Giant Van takes less than five minutes.

You have three options.

The fastest way is to call .

Our team picks up during office hours and can give you a quote and a provisional slot within the same call. Have ready the postcodes of the collection and delivery addresses, the piano type (upright, baby grand, or grand), the floor it sits on, and any known access issues such as steps, narrow hallways, or restricted parking.

The second option is to use the Giant Van app.

The app walks you through a short job description form and returns an instant quote based on your inputs. You can book directly from the app, pay a deposit to secure the slot, and track your crew on the day using built-in GPS. The app is available for iOS and Android.

The third option is to request a quote online through the Giant Van website.

Fill in the address fields and job notes, and we will call you back to confirm within an hour during business hours.

For piano removals in Stevenage, we recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance where possible.

This allows us to assign the right crew size based on the piano weight and access conditions. However, same-day availability is often possible, particularly in the mornings. All bookings include a confirmation message with your crew details and an estimated arrival window.

There are no hidden charges.

The price you are quoted is the price you pay unless there are material access conditions not disclosed at the time of booking, such as a collapsed lift or access refused by a building management company.
