Specialist piano moving across Edinburgh — uprights, baby grands and full concert grands handled with proper piano boards, skates, straps and a trained 3-4-person crew. Edinburgh's UNESCO New Town, Old Town closes and Georgian terraces are some of the trickiest UK moves for access — narrow entryways, cobbled streets and shared stairs are the norm.
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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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.
City of Edinburgh Council parking dispensations take 10 working days and are essential for New Town and Old Town moves. We check every doorway, staircase and turn before quoting a Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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 Scotland — happy to recommend a local tuner if you don't already have one.
We cover all Edinburgh neighbourhoods and the surrounding Scotland area.

Indicative prices for upright, baby grand and concert grand moves across Edinburgh and central Scotland.
| Service / Size | Guide Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Upright piano, ground to ground | from GBP 260 | Within Edinburgh, level access at both ends. |
| Upright piano, tenement stairs | GBP 340-GBP 520 | Priced by flight count and turn width - the usual Edinburgh job. |
| Baby grand | GBP 480-GBP 780 | Legs and lyre removed, body on a padded piano board. |
| Concert grand | from GBP 950 | Four-person crew, full crating available for storage or shipping. |
| Hoist or crane lift | from GBP 600 | Where a New Town stairwell or bay window is the only route in. |
An upright piano weighs 200-300kg and a concert grand can pass 500kg, but weight is rarely what stops an Edinburgh piano move. The stairwell does. Marchmont and Bruntsfield tenements have four or five flights with tight half-landing turns; New Town flats have grand proportions inside and a single narrow common stair; Old Town closes rule out anything larger than a transit at the door.
So we survey the route, not just the instrument: narrowest turn, door swing, ceiling height above the stairs, handrail projections and where the vehicle can legally stand. That determines crew size, whether skates and a piano board are enough, or whether a hoist or crane lift through a window is the honest answer.
Grands are dismantled properly - lyre and pedal assembly off, legs off, body on its side on a padded board - never wheeled on their own castors. That is where most instrument damage happens, and it is entirely avoidable.
Piano work is judged on communication and on the instrument arriving exactly as it left.
“Absolutely brilliant with our piano move. Really professional, communication was excellent throughout and they coordinated everything with both the seller and us as the buyers. Nothing was left to chance — highly recommended.”
