Areas we cover
From Sherwood and Beeston to West Bridgford and Mansfield, we collect pianos across the NG postcode area and hold them in a steady climate-controlled facility until you are ready for them back.
Book storageWhy Nottingham pianos go into storage
The situations that bring a piano into storage are never quite the same. In Nottingham it might be a family downsizing from a four-bedroom semi in Wollaton into a smaller property, and suddenly there is no room. It might be a student who has finished their degree at the University of Nottingham and needs to clear a rented house. It might be an executor trying to protect a relative's upright while an estate is sorted, with no space to bring it home. Whatever brings the piano in, the need is the same: somewhere secure and properly climate-controlled, with a specialist crew who know how to move the thing without damage.
Nottingham's housing stock makes the physical side of the job interesting. The Park estate, Sherwood, Mapperley, Carrington, Hyson Green and the wider Victorian suburbs are full of terraces with steep staircases and narrow hallways. Our specialist piano crews collect from these streets regularly and come prepared.
Collection day
We collect in and around Nottingham on Thursdays, running the East Midlands route on the same day each week. The NG postcode area is larger than people often realise: it takes in Nottingham city centre, West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Hucknall, Carlton, Mapperley, Wollaton, Clifton, Long Eaton, Ruddington, Eastwood, Mansfield and Newark-on-Trent, among others. If you have an NG postcode, we come to you.
We confirm a three-hour target window the day before, so you do not need to clear your schedule for an uncertain arrival. Any stair access, whether a three-storey Victorian terrace, a student flat without a lift, or a school building with an awkward goods entrance, is priced clearly in the online booking before you confirm. No surprises on collection day.
Why climate control matters here
Nottingham sits in the Trent valley, and the city's winters are cold and carry a good deal of ambient moisture. Older properties, particularly those without consistent heating or cavity wall insulation, can hold humidity levels that do real damage to an instrument over a matter of weeks. Soundboards swell and crack, glue joints soften, tuning pins lose their grip, and keys begin to stick or chip. By the time the damage becomes obvious, the repair cost can be considerable.
Our facility holds steady temperature and humidity year-round, set to the conditions that instruments need. A piano in storage with us for six weeks or six months comes back in the same condition it left. Full insurance runs from the moment our crew collects it to the moment it is delivered back, and the facility is monitored around the clock.
Students, musicians and schools
Nottingham has tens of thousands of students, and when term ends or a course finishes, an upright piano in a shared house becomes a genuine logistical problem. Parents who brought the instrument to support a son or daughter through their studies, and music students who own their own instrument, both use us regularly for a single term or a full year between addresses.
The city has a strong live music tradition, and working musicians with instruments they are not currently touring with need secure, properly conditioned storage between engagements. Schools and music services across Nottinghamshire also use the service when instruments need to be held during building works or a change of premises. There is no minimum storage period, so the term fits the need.

Nottingham collections run on Thursdays. We confirm a three-hour target window the day before so you can plan around the arrival. If Thursday genuinely does not suit, an off-day collection can be arranged for an added charge.
Yes, and many do. There is no minimum storage period, so storing for a single term, a summer vacation or a full gap year between courses all works the same way.

Any stair access is priced in the online booking, so you see the full cost before confirming.
