Specialist piano moving across Bristol — uprights, baby grands and full concert grands handled with proper piano boards, skates, straps and a trained 3-4-person crew. Bristol splits between Georgian townhouses in Clifton, terraces in Bishopston and Redland, harbourside apartments and family homes in Bedminster and Long Ashton.
We run removals from Oxfordshire to every part of England, Scotland and Wales — long-distance is a routine part of our week, not a subcontracted exception.
Comprehensive Goods in Transit and Public Liability cover on every move as standard. Certificates provided on request.
Museum-grade wrapping, heavy-duty cartons and barcoded inventories — the same export-packing standard we use on international moves.
Same-day delivery on most UK routes, planned around driver-hours regulations and traffic windows, with no hidden overnight surcharges.
Regular runs to France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Portugal, Belgium and Ireland — customs and Transfer of Residence paperwork handled in-house.
Same coordinator from first call to final delivery. No handovers, no local-agent surprises on arrival.
Tell us about your Bristol job — property size, distance and any access notes.
A coordinator confirms the inventory, access and any special items by video or in person.
Fixed all-in price for the Bristol job — no weekend surcharges or hidden add-ons.
A uniformed, fully-insured crew arrives on time and finishes the job to a calm, premium standard.
Upright pianos are our most common Bristol piano job — most fit through standard doorways with proper skates and straps, though stairs and narrow hallways always need pre-survey.
Baby grands and full grands are dismantled for transport (legs, lyre, pedal box removed) and reassembled at the destination. Concert grands take a 4-person crew as standard.
Bristol RPZ (Residents' Parking Zone) suspensions take 10 working days; we lodge the application when the move is booked. We check every doorway, staircase and turn before quoting a Bristol piano job — external furniture hoists are used where the internal route can't take the instrument safely.
Most pianos travel strapped and blanket-wrapped inside a Luton with padded floor. Long journeys are secured with corner-boards and moved at reduced motorway speeds where needed.
Every Bristol piano move is covered by full Goods in Transit insurance. We recommend re-tuning 2-4 weeks after the move once the instrument has settled into the new environment.
We work regularly with piano tuners across South West — happy to recommend a local tuner if you don't already have one.
We cover all Bristol neighbourhoods and the surrounding South West area.

Indicative 2026 prices for piano removals in Bristol and across Bristol & North Somerset. Proper kit, trained crew and full insurance are included, never charged as extras.
| Service / Size | Guide Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Upright piano, ground floor to ground floor | £180-£320 | Two-person crew, piano board, skates and padded covers. Local moves within one town. |
| Upright piano, stairs at one or both ends | £280-£480 | Three crew where the staircase turns; uprights are top-heavy, so stairs are a crew decision not an extra. |
| Baby grand (up to 5'8") | £380-£650 | Legs and lyre removed, body on a padded skid, reassembled and levelled at delivery. |
| Grand / concert grand (6' and over) | £550-£1,200 | Four crew, full strip-down, purpose-made skid. Concert instruments quoted after a site visit. |
| Long-distance piano move (over 50 miles) | from £420 | Dedicated vehicle with strapping points and climate-sensible loading, not a shared load. |
| Piano within a house (room to room) | £120-£240 | Includes floor protection and re-levelling; common after redecorating or a new floor. |
| Hoist, crane or window removal | quoted on survey | Rare, but the honest answer when a grand cannot come down a stairwell. |
| Tuning after the move | £90-£150 | Arranged with a local tuner 2-3 weeks after delivery, once the instrument has settled. |
Bristol is a hill city, and hills change a piano move. Clifton, Redland, Totterdown and Cotham have steep approaches, long flights of external stone steps and front doors well above pavement level. A piano that would be a two-person job on the flat becomes a three or four-person controlled descent here - that is a crew decision made at survey, not an on-the-day surcharge.
Clifton's Georgian townhouses combine a raised entrance with a narrow half-turn staircase and often a basement music room. We plan the descent in stages with a piano board and stair-climbing kit, and protect the original stone and tiled floors with runners before anything moves.
Harbourside and city-centre apartments need a loading bay slot and a lift booking; Gloucester Road and Bedminster terraces need a parking suspension or an early start before the street fills. We sort both in advance, which is why our Bristol jobs rarely overrun.
A piano move is decided by the route, not the instrument. We walk the full path first - vehicle position, threshold, hallway width, staircase turns, floor surface - and size the crew to the hardest point on that route. That is why our quotes sometimes send more people than a cheaper quote, and why the instrument arrives without a mark on the case.
Every job travels on a dedicated vehicle with fixed strapping points, upright and restrained, with covers on the case and runners on your floors at both ends. Nothing goes on a shared load between wardrobes.
