What affects the price
The starting prices above cover the most straightforward jobs. From there, a handful of things move the number — and they're all to do with how hard the piano is to reach and how far it's going:
- Steps and stairs. A flat, level carry is quickest. Internal stairs, a first-floor flat or a flight of outside steps take more time, people and care.
- Distance. A move across town is very different from one across the country, so mileage between the two addresses matters.
- The carry and parking. How far the piano has to travel between the door and the van, and whether we can park nearby.
- The instrument. Grands need partial dismantling and a skid, so they take a little more handling than an upright.
None of this is hidden — when you send a few details we'll explain exactly what's in your quote, so there are no surprises on the day.
Pricing questions
Straight answers on cost
Why is it a "from" price and not a fixed one?
Because no two piano jobs are the same. A straightforward upright with level access at both ends sits near the starting price; stairs, long carries, distance and parking all add to it. Giving you a quick, honest quote for your exact job is more useful than a flat figure that wouldn't hold.
Do your prices include VAT?
Yes — the prices on this page include VAT, so the figure you see is the figure you pay. If you need a VAT invoice for a business or venue, just ask.
What makes a removal cost more?
Mainly access and distance: the number of steps or stairs at each end, how far the piano has to be carried to the van, whether parking is close, and the mileage between the two addresses. Grands take a little more handling than uprights.
