Specialist Piano Movers in Oxford

Oxford is a city of college quads, listed Georgian and Victorian terraces, modern Summertown and Headington family homes and a constant churn of students and academics arriving every September. Whether your piano is in a town centre flat, a Victorian terrace or a substantial family home on the outskirts of Oxford, our team has the right combination of kit, crew size and patience to do the move properly.

Pianos punish careless movers. The wrong lift on a staircase can crack the case, snap a leg or worse, hurt someone. Our Oxford crews are trained to plan the route, protect the instrument, protect your floors and walls, and move at the right pace.

An upright weighs 180 to 260 kg, a baby grand 230 to 320 kg and a full concert grand can exceed 500 kg. Each type needs different handling, different equipment and a different crew size. We never send the wrong size team to a Oxford piano move.

Grand pianos are typically dismantled before transit legs, lyre and pedals removed and the case wrapped, transported on its side on a specialist skate, then reassembled at the destination. Every step is handled by our team, not contracted out.

A surprising number of Oxford piano moves involve tight Victorian staircases, narrow Edwardian hallways or first floor flats with no lift. Where the piano genuinely cannot go up or down a staircase safely, we deploy a specialist external piano lift through a window or balcony.

Our coordinator will spot a difficult access job at the survey stage and price the lift into the fixed quote no surprises on the day.

Around two thirds of our Oxford piano moves stay within Oxfordshire and the neighbouring counties. The rest go further typically London, the South Coast, the Cotswolds or the Midlands. Same crew, same equipment, same fixed price.

For piano sales we frequently collect from a Oxford address and deliver to a buyer hundreds of miles away. We coordinate with the seller, the buyer, and any tuner involved.
