Areas we cover
We collect pianos from Crawley and across the RH postcode area every Wednesday, store them in our climate-controlled Oxfordshire facility 70 miles from town, and return them when you are ready.
Book storageA town built around movement
Crawley was designed around mobility, and that still shapes how people here live with their possessions. The town's close ties to Gatwick mean a steady flow of residents on short-term postings, aviation contracts or corporate secondments who need somewhere safe for a piano while work takes them away. Families in Maidenbower and Three Bridges upsize or convert a room. First-time buyers moving into one of the town's three-storey town houses discover the piano will not fit the new layout.
The older corners of Crawley tell a different story. Worth and Pound Hill grew up around St Nicholas Church, a Saxon building that predates the new town by centuries, and the streets there are older and harder to navigate with a large instrument. Our specialist piano crews have collected from all of it, from a Forge Wood town house with a tight first-floor landing to a Worth cottage with uneven stone steps outside.
Collection day
Our crew is in the RH postcodes every Wednesday. Running the same area on the same day each week keeps the route efficient and the pricing honest. We confirm a three-hour target window the evening before, so you know exactly when to be in without waiting all morning.
Many Crawley properties are three-storey town houses with the piano on a middle floor, or converted flats where the hallway narrows at a critical point. Any stair or restricted access is priced clearly in the online booking before you confirm, so there are no surprises on collection day. If Wednesday genuinely cannot work, an off-day collection can be arranged for an added charge.
Areas and villages we cover
Within RH10 our Wednesday route takes in Pound Hill, Three Bridges, Maidenbower, Forge Wood, Furnace Green, Northgate and Tilgate. We also collect from the neighbouring RH11 districts: Ifield, Bewbush, Broadfield, Southgate, Langley Green and West Green.
Further out, we cover Horley, Charlwood, Meath Green, Smallfield and the Pagewood and Weatherhill areas in RH6, and East Grinstead, Felbridge and the surrounding villages in RH19. RH17 towns including Cuckfield, Hickstead, Bolney, Warninglid and Ardingly are also on the route, as are the RH7 villages of Lingfield, Dormansland, Blindley Heath, Newchapel and Crowhurst. If you are not certain whether your postcode falls within our area, the online booking form will confirm it.
Why specialist storage matters
Modern properties in Crawley are well made, but a garage or a spare bedroom is not the right environment for a piano over a period of months. Garages are not sealed against humidity, and Sussex weather brings wide seasonal swings. A piano left in those conditions drifts out of tune and can suffer cracked soundboards, seized actions and loose tuning pins. The repair bill often outweighs what the storage would have cost.
Our climate-controlled facility in Oxfordshire, 70 miles from Crawley, holds steady temperature and humidity year-round. Your instrument comes back in the condition it left, with full insurance from the moment our crew collects it to the moment it is re-delivered. Monitored security runs around the clock. Part of the Pianospeed Group, which means the people who collect and store your piano are the same specialists who move them professionally.
What we store
From the family upright in the living room to a baby grand that has outgrown the space, we store every type of piano and the keyboards or gear that often need a home at the same time.
Pricing for Crawley
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.
Questions
Yes. Multi-floor town houses are common in Crawley and we collect from them regularly. Any stair access charge is shown clearly in the online booking before you confirm. Our specialist piano crews are used to narrow landings, tight turns and upper-floor collections, and the charge is agreed upfront so there are no surprises on the day.
We are in the RH postcodes every Wednesday. We confirm a three-hour target window the evening before so you can plan your day. If a Wednesday genuinely will not work, an off-day collection can be arranged for an added charge.
