Areas we cover

Piano Storage Edinburgh, from the Old Town to the New

We collect pianos from across Edinburgh and the EH area, keep them in steady climate-controlled storage, and return them when you say the word.

Book storage

Old stone, new situations

Edinburgh's housing stock moves pianos into storage for all sorts of reasons

Edinburgh has more period property per street than almost anywhere in Britain, and period property throws up piano situations constantly. A grand in a Georgian New Town flat when a family downsizes into something smaller. An upright in a Marchmont or Newington tenement where the next occupant has no use for it. A Victorian parlour piano in a Morningside house that needs somewhere safe while an estate is settled. These are the calls we take every Thursday.

The city's music life adds to this: the Reid School of Music, a cluster of independent schools with serious music departments, working musicians and performers whose instruments need somewhere reliable between residencies or during the festival season. Whatever brings the piano to us, if it is an EH postcode, we are already on the route.

Collection day

Thursday collections across Edinburgh and the EH postcodes

We collect in and around Edinburgh on Thursdays. One regular day keeps the route clean and lets us hold our pricing at a fair level for everyone in the area. We confirm a three-hour target window the evening before, so you know when to be in.

Edinburgh's tenements are among the most handsome buildings in Britain and among the trickiest for piano work. Stone stairs, tight landings, communal closes and properties with no lift are the norm, not the exception. We handle this every week. Any stair access is priced clearly in the online booking before you confirm anything, so you know the exact figure upfront.

Why climate control matters here

Edinburgh winters are cold, damp and hard on a piano

The east coast brings cold, damp air off the Firth of Forth for months at a time, and stone buildings breathe differently from modern construction. A piano left in an unheated Edinburgh flat, a garage or a standard self-storage unit absorbs that moisture and cold gradually. The damage shows up as a swollen or cracked soundboard, sticky keys, rusting strings and tuning that drifts badly. Often the worst of it only becomes clear when the piano finally comes back.

Our facility holds temperature and humidity at stable levels all year. Whether the instrument stays for six weeks while you move house, or for two years while a renovation takes its time, it returns in the condition it left. Full insurance from collection, monitored security throughout.

What we store

Uprights, grands and everything else in the music room

We take in every kind of piano, from a compact student upright to a full concert grand. If you also have keyboards, amplifiers, organs or other instruments that need a safe home, they can come in alongside the piano.

Questions

Do you collect from Edinburgh tenement flats?

Yes. Tenement buildings are a routine part of our Edinburgh work. Stone stairs, tight landings and communal closes need careful handling, and we price any stair access transparently in the online booking before you confirm. You see the exact figure before you commit to anything.

Which day do you collect in Edinburgh?

Edinburgh collections run on Thursdays. We confirm a three-hour target window the evening before so you can plan around it. If Thursday is genuinely not possible, an off-day collection can be arranged for an added charge.

Which areas around Edinburgh do you cover?

We cover the full EH postcode area, including the New Town, Old Town, Marchmont, Morningside, Bruntsfield, Stockbridge, Newington, Leith, Portobello, Corstorphine, Colinton, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Linlithgow and the surrounding towns and villages.

Can I store a piano for just the Edinburgh Festival period?

Yes. There is no minimum term. A few weeks during the festival, a single month, or a longer run all work the same way. You pay for the weeks you use and book re-delivery when you are done.

I need to store a piano from an Edinburgh estate. How does that work?

We handle estate and probate situations regularly. You do not need to be present every step of the way. Tell us the access arrangements and we collect carefully, wrap the instrument securely and hold it until the estate is settled or you are ready for it to move on.

Is the piano insured during collection and storage?

Yes. Your instrument is fully insured from the moment our crew collects it, throughout its time in our climate-controlled facility, and until we deliver it back. The store is monitored around the clock.
