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.

Piano Movers London – FAQs
💬 Can piano movers handle stairs, narrow hallways or basement flats?
Yes — specialist piano movers are trained to navigate the tight, awkward and often challenging layouts found in many London homes. Using equipment such as stair climbers, skids, lifting straps and heavy-duty piano dollies, they can safely move pianos up and down stairs, through narrow Victorian hallways, and in or out of basement or top-floor flats.
For grand and baby grand pianos, movers may partially dismantle the instrument to protect the frame and make access easier.
Examples of tricky London scenarios professional movers can handle:
-
Moving an upright piano down a narrow staircase in a Victorian terrace in Islington, where tight landings require careful turning and specialised lifting techniques.
-
Transporting a baby grand from a basement flat in Kensington with a steep external staircase, using a stair climber and extra padding to protect both the piano and the stone steps.
