Specialist Piano Movers in Reading

Reading mixes Caversham and Lower Earley family streets with the Thames Valley business park belt and a busy mainline station that drives constant relocation in and out of London. Whether your piano is in a town centre flat, a Victorian terrace or a substantial family home on the outskirts of Reading, 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 Reading 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 Reading 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 Reading 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 Reading piano moves stay within Berkshire 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 Reading address and deliver to a buyer hundreds of miles away. We coordinate with the seller, the buyer, and any tuner involved.
