Piano removals in Leeds
A piano is a heavy, awkward instrument with a finish that marks easily. We move uprights and grands with a crew and a route agreed before the day, not as an extra box on a general load.
What's included
- 1A check of stairs, door widths and the room the piano leaves and enters
- 2Covers and protection for the case, the keyboard and the floors
- 3A crew sized to the instrument and the carry
- 4Placement in the room you name, on a floor that can take the weight
- 5Insurance is provided. Ask us what is covered when you book
- 6A written quote that stays valid for 3 months
Access matters more than the postcode
Uprights leave semis in Moortown, Chapel Allerton and Alwoodley as often as they leave older houses nearer town. The question is the same: width of the door, the turn on the stair, and whether the pavement is close enough for the van. Grands need more floor space to prepare and a clear path that does not twist on a landing.
We cover the case, watch the keyboard lid, and protect floors. We set the piano down. We do not tune it, and we do not repair loose pedals. If you know a leg or a caster is already damaged, say so before we take the weight.
Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered when you book.
Booking it properly
Send photos, both addresses and whether other furniture is travelling. A piano plus a house of rooms belongs with furniture removals or a full house move, with the piano named. A piano on its own is this service.
We work from D6, 26 Leodis residences, 1 N W Rd, Woodhouse, Leeds LS6 2QF. Call 01134367860 or get a free quote. Local coverage is also set out on our Leeds removals page.
What affects the cost
Type of piano
A standard upright, a taller upright and a grand are different lifts. A grand may need its legs and lyre taken off by someone competent to do so.
Stairs and turns
A straight hall is simpler than a Leeds terrace stair with a half landing. If it will not fit, we say so before we force anything.
Distance to the van
Steps down to a basement, a long path, or a van that cannot stop at the door all add time.
Distance of the journey
A move across Roundhay is not the same as a delivery to another part of the UK. Both are quotable. Send both addresses.
Other items
The piano bench and a few boxes can travel with it. A whole house of furniture is a house move with the piano listed, not a piano-only price.

Piano removals FAQs
Do you tune the piano?
No. Moving can put a piano out of tune. Book a tuner for after it has settled. We move and place it.
Can you move a grand piano?
Yes, when the access works and the instrument can be prepared safely. Send photos and the make if you know it. We will say if the stair is a problem.
What if the stair is too tight?
We stop. We do not take banisters off or use a window unless that has been agreed as safe. Some houses need a different method, and some pianos should stay.
Is insurance provided?
Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered, and tell us if the piano has a value you want noted on the paperwork.
Can it travel with the rest of the house?
Often yes. List it on the [house removal](/house-removals-leeds/) so the crew and the loading order account for it.
