   Measure every doorway and corridor in advance. Upright pianos typically measure between 148 cm and 155 cm in height and 60 cm in depth. Measure your front door, any internal doors, and the staircase width if the piano needs to change floors.

   This prevents the keys or fallboard from swinging open during the move and causing damage or injury.

   Remove any loose items from the piano top.

   Photographs, candles, books, and ornaments must be packed separately before the crew arrives.

5. 5
   Tell us about any steps or tight turns during booking, not on the day.

   Protect your floors.

   Our crew will lay floor protection runners, but informing us of hard wood floors, slate, or underfloor heating systems in advance helps us choose the right trolley type.

   Plan where the piano will sit in the new property before we arrive.

Your Stirling Piano Removals in Three Steps

1. 1
   Many customers ask whether a standard man and van service in Stirling can handle a piano.

   The honest answer is that it depends entirely on the instrument, the access, and the crew's experience. For a lightweight digital piano in a modern flat with lift access, a competent man and van team can often manage safely.

   For anything heavier, the answer is almost always no.
3. 3
   A standard upright piano weighs between 180 kg and 270 kg.

   A baby grand weighs between 230 kg and 400 kg. Moving these weights safely requires more than strong arms. It requires correct lifting technique, specialist trolleys, stair boards, and the experience to identify when a route is genuinely unsafe and to plan an alternative.

   A specialist piano removal service from Giant Van includes blanket wrapping, a piano board, ratchet straps rated for the instrument's weight, and a crew trained specifically in piano handling.

   A standard man and van service includes a van, two people, and whatever equipment they happen to carry.
