Every upright piano move follows our proven process, ensuring your piano's safety at every stage.
Pre-Move Assessment & Planning
We conduct a thorough evaluation of your piano type, access routes, stairways, and doorways. Digital photographs help us plan the safest route and identify any potential challenges.
Professional Protection & Preparation
Your upright piano is carefully wrapped in thick, quilted moving blankets secured with professional-grade straps. We protect all corners, edges, and the keyboard lid with additional padding.
Specialist Lifting & Maneuvering
Our team uses proper lifting techniques and specialized piano moving equipment to safely lift your upright. Piano skids distribute weight evenly while protecting floors.
Secure Loading & Transport
Your upright is loaded onto our air-ride suspension vehicle using professional ramps and secured with multiple anchor points. The piano is positioned upright (never on its back or side).
Careful Unloading & Positioning
At your destination, we reverse the process with equal care. The piano is unloaded using secure methods, navigated through the new property, and positioned exactly where you want it.
Final Inspection & Aftercare Advice
We conduct a thorough final inspection with you, remove all protective materials, and provide essential aftercare advice including acclimatization guidelines.

Real Reviews from Real Customers
Join hundreds of satisfied piano owners who trust A1 Piano Removals for their upright piano moves.
Moved my studio piano from a Victorian terrace with very narrow stairs. The team was incredibly professional and careful. They protected every surface and navigated the tight corners with impressive skill.
Needed my console piano moved on short notice and A1 accommodated me within 48 hours. The quote was transparent with no hidden fees. Two movers arrived exactly on time.
This was my third time using A1 for piano moves and they never disappoint. They understand that uprights require different handling than grands. As a piano teacher, I only trust A1.
We had a large professional upright that needed to go up 12 stairs in our new home. The team assessed the situation carefully, used a specialized lifting technique, and got it done safely.
Called several companies and A1 was the only one that understood the difference between moving a piano and moving furniture. A1 Piano Removals are the real deal.
Outstanding service from start to finish. Liam personally came to assess our difficult access situation and explained exactly how they'd handle it. Worth every penny!
