Piano and heavy-item moving — Removal company
Identify the exact object, its dimensions and weight when documented, plus every stair, turn and doorway on both routes. For pianos, say whether it is upright or grand; a photograph of the whole instrument and access is more useful than a generic description of a heavy item.
Service scope
Specialist handling and transport of a piano or another declared heavy or awkward object, with the item, route and final placement assessed together. A piano's construction and handling needs differ from those of a safe, machine or other heavy object.
What is normally included
- Item-specific access assessment
- Specialist protection and handling planning
- Delivery to an agreed final position
What is not included
- Unassessed manual lifting by the customer
- Piano tuning or machinery commissioning unless separately commissioned
Typical tasks
- Review item identification and dimensions
- Assess the complete carrying route
- Specify suitable handling resources
- Protect and transport the object
- Confirm final placement and condition
What to include in your brief
- Item make and type
- Documented dimensions and weight
- Photos of stairs and turning spaces
- Collection and delivery floor levels
- Final placement requirements
Choosing the right professional
Select a mover experienced with that object type and ask whether a site survey is needed. Check who provides specialist equipment and what happens if the surveyed route is unsuitable; never rely on extra people alone as the plan for an unassessed lift.
Important considerations
- Concentrated loads and restricted turns can defeat an assumed route
- An object's finish or mechanism can need specialist protection
