Piano Moving Costs Factors
What will increase or lower the piano moving price when you need our help?
The piano type
Depending on what type of piano we need to move, we will send a different amount of people. For example, an upright piano to be moved from ground floor to ground floor require only 2 men, while moving it to the first or second floor through the stairs will need 3 or 4, so the piano moving costs will be more.
Distance
Moving within London will not make any difference in the moving costs while going across the country will add to the fuel price. We charge £2.00 per mile for fuel if your piano has to be delivered outside of M25. If the piano is part of a bigger move, the fuel cost will be for the whole move.
Taking the stairs
If the piano will have to go through the stairs, we will need to send extra removal men, as pianos are very heavy and delicate items. It is a dangerous process, so we need to make sure we take all necessary safety measures to protect our movers, the piano and your property.
Going into storage
In case you want us to store your piano, or you want us to deliver it to the storage you have, we can pack and protect it while being stored. The extra piano moving costs will be insignificant compared to repairs costs of the piano if it gets damaged while in storage.

Piano Moving Costs FAQs
What people mainly ask when they need our help with moving a piano and wonder how much will be the piano moving costs.
How much does it cost to move a piano UK?
The average piano moving cost for a local move is in the £350-£450 price range. The price will be determined by the amount of manpower needed, the time it will take and even the property access conditions.
Can I hire you to move a piano from one room to another?
Yes, you can absolutely count on us. Bear in mind we will still need to charge a minimum of 4 hours, even though the job should take a lot less that our minimum charge.
Can you move a piano by yourself?
Any large and bulky item heavier than 20-30 kg will be a problem to be moved by one person without extra help or without using equipment. When it comes to moving a piano, we strongly advice do not try moving a piano by yourself. Call Movivan or any experienced local moving company and ask for help. It is a lot more cheaper compared to a physical injury or piano being broken.
What are the piano tuning costs?
Unfortunately, we do not provide piano tunning service. As we are predominantly a house and office relocation company, moving pianos is a small portion of what we do. We can move your beloved piano, but you will need to contact a piano tunning company to do this for you. As far as we know the average piano tunning costs are between £90 and £160 pounds.
