Areas we cover
We collect pianos from across Northampton and the NN postcode area, store them in a climate-controlled facility in Oxfordshire, and return them whenever you are ready.
Book storageEast Midlands piano storage
Northampton has a particular mix of property types that keeps piano owners on the move. The Victorian terraces in Abington, St James's and Semilong often have steep narrow staircases and limited manoeuvring room. Former shoe factory conversions across the town have been turned into flats and live-work spaces, some with awkward internal layouts that were never designed for large instruments. Add the University of Northampton's growing student population and the new-build estates spreading out toward Upton, Duston and Kingsthorpe, and you get a town where pianos regularly need a safe temporary home while their owners sort out the next step.
We collect from homes, rehearsal spaces and university properties across the full NN postcode area. Our specialist crews assess every approach before lifting the instrument, wrap it correctly and take it out without damage to the piano or the building.

Collection day
We run our Northampton and NN-area collections on Mondays. A fixed weekly day keeps the route consistent and the pricing fair. We confirm a three-hour target window the day before, so you are not tied to an open-ended wait. If a Monday genuinely will not work for you, an off-day collection can be arranged for an added charge.
If the piano is up a steep staircase or in a room with restricted access, that is priced clearly in the online booking before you confirm anything. Nothing changes on the day of collection.
Why climate control matters
The East Midlands is landlocked and exposed, and winter humidity swings in Northampton are significant. Victorian terraces hold cold and damp in their walls across the colder months, and a piano left in a spare room that is not heated through the winter can drift badly out of tune and suffer more serious damage if the conditions run on for a season or two. Soundboards respond to moisture changes, tuning pins loosen, and an action that played well in September can feel heavy and unreliable by March.
Our storage facility holds a steady temperature and relative humidity throughout the year. Your instrument is fully insured from the moment our crew collects it, the facility is monitored around the clock, and there is no public access. A few weeks between house moves, a full university year, a long renovation or an extended spell working away all give the same result: the piano arrives back in the same condition it left.
Area coverage
The NN postcode area is one of the largest in the East Midlands. Beyond Northampton itself we collect from Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough to the north, Daventry to the west, and Towcester, Brackley, Rushden and Higham Ferrers to the south and east. The towns and villages that sit between those centres are all on the route.
If you are not certain whether your address falls on the Monday collection run, the online booking form checks your postcode and confirms it before you submit anything.
What we take in
We store upright pianos, baby grands, grands and concert grands. We also take digital pianos, stage pianos and keyboards, and we can hold a stool, pedal board or cover in the same booking. If you have a question about a specific instrument or a particularly large or valuable piece, call or email before booking and we will confirm.
Pricing for Northampton
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.
