Book storageBritain's oldest recorded town
Colchester is a town that has always been on the move. Garrison families come and go with postings, the University of Essex brings students and academics who need somewhere for a piano during a sabbatical or a year out, and a busy housing market means instruments regularly need a safe home during renovations and house sales. We collect across the whole CO area: Colchester itself, Clacton-on-Sea, Harwich, Wivenhoe, Mersea Island, Dedham, Halstead and the villages of the Colne and Stour valleys.
The period terraces and Georgian townhouses in the town centre are beautiful to live in but can be awkward to navigate with a large instrument. Our specialist piano crews are practiced at narrow staircases, tight hallways and properties where the front door opens straight onto the street. We work around whatever access the property presents.
Collection day
We collect in and around Colchester on Tuesdays. A set day keeps the route sensible and the price fair: we are not driving a near-empty vehicle for a single booking when the whole town runs on one day. We confirm a three-hour target window the day before so you know when to expect us without clearing your whole Tuesday.
If Tuesday genuinely does not work, an off-day collection can be arranged for an added charge. Stairs are priced clearly in the online booking before you confirm anything, including access to upper-floor flats in the town centre and the newer apartment developments on the edge of the garrison.
Why specialist storage
Pianos are not suited to general self-storage. A roller-shutter unit with no climate control will see temperature swings of twenty degrees or more between winter and summer, and humidity that rises sharply in the autumn months. Over a few months that combination loosens glue joints, cracks soundboards and seizes the action. The result is a repair bill that can dwarf the cost of proper storage.
Our facility holds temperature and humidity steady throughout the year. Your piano is insured from the moment we collect it and the facility is monitored around the clock. Whether you need the instrument stored for six weeks during a kitchen extension or for eighteen months while a house sale completes and a new one is found, the conditions never change.
What we store
We store upright pianos, baby grands, full grands and concert grands, along with digital pianos, keyboards and other music equipment. If you have something out of the ordinary, mention it when you book and we will confirm it can be accommodated.
Pricing for Colchester
Prices include collection, climate-controlled storage and full insurance. Stairs without a lift and off-day collections are priced transparently in the booking. Re-delivery is quoted when you are ready for the piano back.
