Specialist piano removals across Leeds

Moving a piano is a job for people who do it every day. We bring the equipment, the experience and the patience to get your instrument across Leeds without a mark on it.

Every kind of piano, every kind of Leeds access

The type of piano and the access at each end shape the whole job, and Leeds throws up plenty of variety. A digital piano out of a Headingley terrace is a very different afternoon to a baby grand coming down from a third-floor apartment in the city centre, or a full grand going into a period home out in Roundhay. We plan for the property in front of us, not a generic move.

Our vans carry the proper tools: grand piano slippers, double and triple aluminium ramps, padded skids and protective wraps. Plenty of firms will say they'll move a piano, but when a job turns awkward, the wrong approach is exactly how instruments get chipped, scratched or knocked badly out of tune. This is specialist work and all we do, so it's the part we've made certain of.

Grands & concert instruments

Grands are partly dismantled where needed (legs and lyre removed), then wrapped and moved on a padded skid with grand slippers, and rebuilt and settled at the far end. From baby grands in family homes to concert instruments for Leeds venues such as Opera North and City Varieties, it's routine work for us.

Uprights & digitals

Uprights are wrapped, skidded and ramped, with stair-climbing technique for terraces and landings. Digital pianos and organs are handled with the same care. They're lighter, but no less awkward through a tight Leeds hallway.

Concert grands are part of the job too. There's footage of a nine-foot Steinway coming out onto the street on our Leeds city centre page, alongside jobs at Opera North, City Varieties and the University of Leeds.

Careful from the first lift to the last

A piano can weigh well over 150kg. We protect every instrument with padded wraps and skids, plan the route through your property before we lift, and protect floors and doorframes as we go.

  • Route planned and measured before anything moves
  • Floors, carpets and frames protected throughout
  • Fully insured, with you setting the instrument's value for liability
  • Tuning advice: leave a new piano to settle before tuning

Bought a piano on eBay in Leeds?

A lot of the Leeds pianos we move are eBay purchases, and the buyer often doesn't have the seller's full address until the auction ends. That's fine. When the quote chat asks for the collection address, paste the eBay listing link or the item number instead. We'll read the collection area from the listing and price from that, then confirm the exact address with you before anything is booked.

Brands we're regularly asked to move

From household names to fine concert instruments, all handled with the same care.
