How To Prepare for Your Piano Move

A little preparation helps your piano movers work safely and efficiently. Here’s what to do before they arrive:

✔ Measure Access Points

Check doorways, hallways, stairs and lift size — especially important in London flats with tight access. Share this with your movers.

✔ Clear the Path

Remove rugs, chairs and small furniture so the team can manoeuvre easily.

✔ Remove Items from the Piano

Take off sheet music, decorations or anything sitting on or around the piano.

✔ Protect Your Floors

If you can, place blankets or mats to safeguard hardwood or tiled floors (most movers also bring protection).

✔ Sort Parking & Access

Confirm:

• Permit requirements

• Loading bay access

• Distance from van to door
  Arrange parking suspensions 3–5 days in advance if needed.

✔ Decide Where the Piano Will Go

Measure the space in your new home and choose the exact spot — avoids repositioning later.

✔ Let the Piano Settle After Moving

Wait 7–14 days before tuning, so the piano adjusts to its new environment.
