Piano removals in Sheffield

Sheffield is built on hills, and moving a piano here often means steps, slopes and steep streets, exactly what our crews are equipped for.

Piano moving across Sheffield's hills

They say Sheffield is built on seven hills, and anyone who has carried furniture here believes it. Steep terraced streets, flights of stone steps up to front doors and sloping driveways are all part of a normal day for us. We come prepared with ramps, lifting belts and the technique to keep an instrument steady on a gradient.

The leafy western suburbs of Dore, Totley, Fulwood and Ranmoor are full of fine uprights and grands in larger period homes, while the inner districts have rows of stone terraces with tight access. Whatever and wherever, we move it carefully, and we can take an old piano away for recycling too.

Sheffield is famously built on hills, and that shapes every piano move here. The terraced streets of Crookes, Walkley and Nether Edge can be steep with awkward on-street parking, while the larger houses out west in Fulwood, Ranmoor and Dore often have several steps up to the door and fine staircases inside. We come prepared for gradients and tight approaches, with ramps, skids and the crew to match, so an upright or a grand is moved safely whatever the slope.

A recent job in Sheffield

A grand piano off the stage at Mary St Live

A small grand had to come down off the stage at Mary St Live, the independent music venue on Mary Street, with a band's monitors, drum kit and amps still set up around it.

Legs off, into our skid, sheeted and then strapped, brought down off the stage keyboard end first and delivered across the city to Lowe Academy of Music and the Arts.

Sheffield · good to know

Piano removals in Sheffield: your questions

My piano is up a steep flight of steps. Can you still move it?

Yes. Steep approaches and outside steps are routine in Sheffield. We use ramps and lifting belts and plan the safest line before we lift, so gradients are not a problem.

Do you move grand pianos in the west of the city?

We do: Dore, Fulwood, Ranmoor and the surrounding areas have plenty of grands, and we move them on padded skids with proper grand slippers.

Do you move pianos out of venues, schools and halls in Sheffield?

Yes. Recently we brought a small grand down off the stage at Mary St Live in the city centre and delivered it to Lowe Academy of Music and the Arts. Venue and school moves are best booked for a quiet time, when the stage and the route out are clear.

Can you dispose of an old piano in Sheffield?

Yes. We collect unwanted pianos across Sheffield and recycle them responsibly, with under 1% going to landfill, under our own Environment Agency waste carrier registration. Recently that included a 1930s Co-op Amyl baby grand from north Sheffield, which still had its original key and warranty.
