Piano storage

Piano storage for removal firms

When a client's piano needs specialist handling, we collect it, store it in climate-controlled conditions and re-deliver it. You stay the firm they trust.

The piano problem

Pianos come up in every kind of removal job

Most removal firms will at some point face a client with a piano they cannot take to the new address yet, or who needs the instrument out of a property before anything else can move. Pianos are unlike other household items. The weight is distributed in ways that catch out a crew without the right equipment. The case marks easily. The internal mechanism is sensitive to jolts, temperature swings and vibration in a general load.

A piano job that goes wrong goes very wrong. Rather than attempt it with a general crew and non-specialist equipment, the right call is a clean referral to someone set up specifically for it. The client gets proper care for the instrument. You protect the relationship.

How it works

A clean referral with nothing to chase

When a client mentions a piano you cannot take on, you pass them to us and we handle the rest. We book directly with the client, our specialist piano crews collect the instrument, it goes into our climate-controlled storage facility, and we re-deliver when the client is ready. Nothing comes back to you to coordinate.

PianoStorage is part of the Pianospeed Group, a well-established name in professional piano handling. The firm you are sending clients to is one they can look up and verify, which matters when you are putting your name behind a referral. Whether you run a large regional company or work as a sole trader, the arrangement is the same.

Why specialist matters

What a specialist piano crew can do that a general crew cannot

Piano crews train specifically for these instruments. They know the right way to wrap and board each type, how to manage a staircase with a heavy upright, and how to deliver into a finished room without marking the floor or scraping a doorframe. Purpose-built collection vehicles carry pianos in fixed cradles rather than loose among a general household load.

Once in storage, the piano is held in a facility with monitored temperature and humidity, round-the-clock security and full insurance throughout. A well-stored instrument comes back in the same condition it left, which is what your client expects and what you want associated with their experience of working with you.

Coverage

Collections across GB mainland and Belfast

We collect from addresses across GB mainland and Belfast, with a scheduled collection day in each postcode area each week. Stairs and difficult access are priced clearly at the time of booking, so there are no surprises for the client on the day. Re-delivery goes to any address on GB mainland or in Belfast when the client is ready to have the piano back.

Whether the removal is local or cross-country, and whether the piano needs storing for a few weeks or a couple of years, the process is the same. Clear pricing, specialist crews, one organisation handling the whole job from the first collection to the final placement.

Questions

How do I refer a piano customer to you?

Pass them our contact details or point them to our site to get an instant price online. We deal directly with the client from there: booking, collection, storage and re-delivery are all handled by us. You do not need to stay involved in the coordination.

Do you work with removal firms of all sizes?

Yes. We receive referrals from sole traders and from large regional firms. Whoever you are, the arrangement is the same: you point the client to us, we take care of the instrument, and you stay the firm they trust for everything else.

My client's piano is on an upper floor with a steep staircase. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Stairs are a standard part of what our specialist piano crews handle. Stair access is priced openly during online booking so the client knows the full cost before confirming. There are no surprises on the day and nothing for you to explain after the fact.

What areas do you cover?

We collect from addresses across GB mainland and Belfast. Each postcode area has a set collection day each week, and we confirm a three-hour target window the day before. For locations that fall outside the regular route, an off-day collection can be arranged for an additional charge.

Is the piano fully insured while it is in storage?

Yes. Every instrument in our care is fully insured from the moment of collection through to re-delivery. The facility is climate-controlled and monitored around the clock, and full insurance runs for the entire time the piano is with us.

What types of pianos do you take?

We store all piano types: uprights, baby grands, grands and concert grands. We also take digital pianos, keyboards and organs. For high-value or unusual instruments, we are happy to discuss specifics before the client books.
