Piano and specialist item removals
Pianos, safes and awkward valuables, moved with the right gear.
From £92
“Used the trolley and blankets, very careful on the ramp.”
Marcus B., Greenwich
Some items need more than blankets and straps. Pianos, safes, gym equipment and artwork are heavy, awkward, or valuable enough that we handle them as a specialist booking rather than folding them into a general load.
For pianos specifically, tell us upright or grand when you book — each carries its own surcharge (£110 upright, £260 grand) that covers the stair-climbing trolley, extra blankets and specialist tie-downs the job actually needs, rather than guessing at a generic 'heavy item' fee.
Safes and gym equipment (home gyms, treadmills, weight racks) are priced as part of your general booking with the assembly/disassembly extra where relevant — mention the approximate weight when you book so we send a van and helper count that can actually manage it.
Artwork and antiques usually travel best with extra blankets and, for anything glazed or especially fragile, your own additional wrapping — let us know in the booking notes and we'll make sure it's loaded last and unloaded first.
