Areas we cover
We collect from Bicester, Banbury, Witney, Abingdon, Didcot and the towns in between, store pianos in steady climate-controlled conditions, and return them when you are ready.
Book storageThe county beyond the city
Oxford gets all the attention, but the county that surrounds it has just as many pianos in just as many varied situations. Market towns, newer developments, Georgian farmhouses and Victorian terraces all sit within the OX postcode boundary, and the people in them deal with the same upheavals anyone else does: a house sale that overruns, a renovation that displaces a room, a bereavement that leaves an instrument without an obvious home, a child who has left for university and taken the need for a piano with them.
Bicester and Didcot have expanded considerably and both have a strong commuter population with the kind of reasonable homes where a piano fitted until life changed direction. Banbury and Witney are older market towns with a mix of period properties and newer estates, and Abingdon sits close enough to Oxford that it shares many of the university-adjacent situations the city sees. We collect from all of them on the same Saturday route.
Collection day
We collect across the OX postcodes every Saturday. One fixed day keeps the route consistent and lets us hold the price at a sensible level for everyone in the county. We confirm a three-hour target window the day before, so you know when to be available without blocking out a whole weekend.
Older Oxfordshire properties, whether a Banbury terraced cottage or a Witney town house, often have narrow doorways and tighter staircases than more recent construction. If the piano lives above the ground floor, stair access is priced openly in the online booking before you confirm anything. You see the full figure before you commit.
Why climate control matters
Oxfordshire has a wide range of housing stock, from medieval stone cottages in the villages around Witney to 1990s and 2000s new builds in Bicester and Didcot. At one end, old walls hold damp in ways that cause pianos to absorb moisture slowly over months. At the other, newer properties can have central heating that swings the humidity sharply when the thermostat kicks in or the heating is turned off over a holiday. Either way, a piano left in a spare room, a garage or a standard self-storage unit over any significant stretch will begin to suffer.
Our Oxfordshire climate-controlled facility holds temperature and humidity at stable levels year-round. Full insurance runs from the moment of collection. Monitored security is in place around the clock. Whether the piano is with us for six weeks during a house move or for eighteen months while a renovation overruns, it comes back in the same condition it left.
What we store
We store uprights and grands of all sizes, from a compact student instrument left behind after a child moves out to a full grand in a Banbury or Abingdon farmhouse. Keyboards, organs and other related instruments can come in at the same time if needed.
Pricing for Oxfordshire
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.
Questions
We cover the full OX postcode area, which includes Bicester, Banbury, Witney, Abingdon, Didcot, Thame, Chipping Norton, Faringdon, Wantage, Wallingford, Henley-on-Thames and the many villages between them. Oxford city itself is also on the route. If your postcode begins OX, we collect from you on Saturdays.
Collections across the OX postcodes run on Saturdays. We confirm a three-hour target window the day before so you can plan around it without losing a full weekend. If a Saturday is genuinely not workable for you, an off-day collection can be arranged for an added charge.
Yes, regularly. Both towns have expanded significantly and we collect from all estates and postcodes within the OX area. Access in a modern new-build is usually straightforward, though we still assess stair access and price it openly in the booking if the piano is on an upper floor.
Yes. Narrow staircases and low beams in older Oxfordshire properties are something our specialist piano crews encounter regularly. We assess the access when you book and price it clearly, so there are no surprises on the day. We have the equipment and the experience to remove an instrument from properties that would defeat a general removal crew.
No. There is no minimum term. You pay for the weeks you use and book re-delivery whenever you are ready. A short stay during a house move and a longer stretch during a renovation or probate process both work in exactly the same way.
Yes. Full insurance covers your instrument from the moment our crew collects it, throughout its time in our climate-controlled facility, and until it is returned to you. The store is monitored around the clock.
