Areas we cover
We collect pianos from Plymouth, Plymstock, Plympton and the wider South Devon area, hold them in steady climate-controlled conditions on full insurance, and return them on your word.
Book storageDockyards, universities and Victorian terraces
Plymouth is a city where people move around a lot. Naval and service families based at Devonport get posting orders and need somewhere safe for the piano while they are away for months or years at a stretch. Students at the University of Plymouth head home for summer or finish their degrees and cannot take a full-size upright with them. Families in the period terraces of Mutley Plain, Peverell or Ford put a piano into storage while builders take over the ground floor. And across South Devon, from Plymstock and Plympton out to Ivybridge, Kingsbridge and Totnes, people downsize or renovate and need the instrument out of the way for a while.
Our specialist piano crews collect from all of them. Plymouth has no shortage of narrow staircases and steep Victorian flights, and our crews handle those routinely. Access arrangements, parking restrictions and tight hallways are all part of a normal collection day.
Collection day
Plymouth and the surrounding PL postcode area are on our Friday route. We confirm a three-hour target window the day before, so you are not waiting in all day. If Friday genuinely does not work, an off-day collection can be arranged for an added charge.
Stairs without a lift are priced transparently in the booking, so you know the full figure before you confirm. No surprises on the day.
A coastal climate is hard on a piano
Plymouth sits at the edge of the sea, and that shows in how buildings behave. The air carries more moisture than inland cities, and properties close to the waterfront or on exposed ground feel damp spells quickly. A piano in a Victorian terraced room or a stone-built house can absorb that moisture through the soundboard, making the instrument difficult to keep in tune and eventually causing swelling, cracking or sticking action.
Our storage facility holds steady temperature and humidity year-round, regardless of what the weather off the Sound is doing. Your piano goes in stable and comes out stable. It is also held on full insurance with round-the-clock monitored security, so a posting, a long renovation or a gap between homes leaves the instrument in safe hands.
What we take in
We store all types of piano, plus the keyboards and music equipment that travel with them. Every instrument is wrapped and handled by specialist crews with purpose-built equipment.
Pricing for Plymouth
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.
