Limitations & Specialist Requests
- Grand pianos: at present we focus on upright and digital pianos; grand or baby grand moves require a specialist partner. We’re happy to recommend a trusted provider.
- Extreme access constraints: spiral staircases, narrow loft hatches, or severe stair turns may require a bespoke solution or temporary banister removal (by a qualified tradesperson).
- Craning or hoisting: not provided directly; if needed, we can coordinate with a third-party crane service.
- Long-distance beyond the UK mainland: we handle long-distance within the UK; overseas moves are via partner network and quoted separately.
- Tuning and servicing: we do not tune pianos. After any move, we recommend waiting a week or two before booking a tuner.
For non-standard situations, share photos, videos, and measurements with your enquiry so we can advise promptly.
