Areas we cover
We collect pianos from Gillingham and the surrounding ME postcodes every Wednesday, store them in climate-controlled conditions near Oxfordshire, and return them whenever you are ready.
Book storageMedway pianos
Gillingham is the most densely settled of the Medway towns, and the housing reflects decades of dockyard and garrison life. Victorian terraces sit wall to wall across much of the town, and a full-size upright in the front room is often a fixture that has been there longer than the current occupants. When those circumstances change, whether that is a house sale, a move abroad, a building project or simply a room that is needed back, the piano is often the last thing to be sorted.
We collect from across Gillingham, Brompton, Hempstead, Grange and the villages as far out as Capstone and Lidsing, and we do it every Wednesday. The instrument then travels 95 miles to our climate-controlled facility near Oxfordshire, where it stays steady and secure until you ask for it back.
Collection day
Our crew is in ME postcodes every Wednesday. The route takes in Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester, Rainham and Maidstone, as well as the villages across the Medway conurbation. A three-hour slot is confirmed the evening before so you are not waiting around without a clear time.
If the piano is on an upper floor of a terrace, that is familiar territory for our specialists. Stair access is priced openly at the booking stage, so the full figure is in front of you before you confirm anything. If Wednesday is awkward, an alternative day can be arranged for a small surcharge.
Villages and districts we serve
Within ME7 we collect from Gillingham town centre, Brompton, Hempstead, Grange, Lower Twydall, Bredhurst, Capstone, Lidsing and Darland. The Wednesday route also covers neighbouring districts: Chatham (ME4), Walderslade, Lords Wood and Blue Bell Hill (ME5), Rainham, Twydall, Park Wood, Wigmore, Lower Rainham and Moor Street (ME8), Maidstone, Sandling, Grove Green and Penenden Heath (ME14), and the Hoo Peninsula including Wainscott, Hoo St Werburgh and Kingsnorth (ME3).
If you are on the edge of one of these areas and are not certain you are on the Wednesday route, the postcode check at the booking stage will confirm it immediately.
Why climate control matters here
Gillingham sits close to the Thames Estuary and the Medway, and the humidity swings through the seasons. Tight Victorian terraces that heat up in summer and go cold and damp in winter put the same stress on a piano as an attic or a garage: the soundboard swells and shrinks, strings corrode and keys can seize.
Our facility holds a stable temperature and humidity year-round, independent of the weather outside. Full insurance covers the instrument from the moment our crew collects it to the moment it is back in your room, and the store is monitored around the clock with no fixed minimum period.
Pricing for Medway
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 costs the same as collection: pay it at booking and the price is locked in, whenever you want the piano back, or pay later at the rate in force at the time. Prices are reviewed each April.
